Russian "tanks" have had to retreat outside of firing range. No propaganda here.

I thought it was propaganda too. Thanks for confirmation.

I stand corrected !!
Here is a BTR-70 in Russian service, today, in "Kupyanks" (wherever the fuck that is, lol)
So they are using them still. This is a fwd recon unit at the tip of one of the un-opposed thrusts from the eastern border.
These vehicles are great troop carriers - its basically a lightly armoured all terrain truck that carries a squad, has a decent HMG on it (14.5 mm - eats 50cals for breakfast !!), and fully amphibious. The armour can stop a .308 rifle round, and light shrapnel, but anything else will go straight through it.
Its not a frontline combat vehicle, and you never ever send them into urban areas.
So I still reckon the footage above is 2014 Kiev, with the BTR-60 in the video being a police vehicle
So my 300 black out wouldn't be very effective against it...
