"There's a fine line between heroism and stupidity... yes you may think it's heroic but I think it's also pretty suicidal sending in a single tank to do an attack on a village like this."
Hello Team!
Jonathan introduces an excerpt from his earlier Frontline Update video that he wanted to discuss separately. The footage shows a bizarre tank attack that happened a couple weeks ago during the Ukrainian offensive on the settlement of Uruzhany.

Tank Footage Analysis
The footage shows a lone Ukrainian T-72 tank dragging something as it charges towards Russian positions in Uruzhany, firing 4-5 rounds at buildings. The tank drives erratically, seemingly unconcerned about potential minefields in the area. Russian artillery zeroes in on the tank's position, nearly hitting it, before the tank retreats. Jonathan questions the logic and value of risking an entire tank and crew to fire a handful of rounds at some buildings. He suggests the tank may have been used as a "guinea pig" to probe Russian defenses and artillery response. While the footage looks impressive, Jonathan believes the mission was more an act of insanity than heroism given the huge risk for relatively little gain.
