3 meals a day, shower, warmth, 10k once Ukraine wins, enrollment of being a citizen with their own rights in Ukraine. Not bad deal. (y)

A fully-operational Russian tank for $10k???

pfff - - - I wouldn't take a penny under $1m - - which is around a quarter of what those tanks cost to manufacture.

The Muscovite got swindled.

That story sounds completely bull shit. Based on my experience around 20 years ago in mech infantry unit which the unit I was in used Bradly fighting vehicles(for some reason some mech infantry soldiers will claim a Bradly is a not tank). There is a driver, gunner, commander and a infantry crew that is deployed to take out any threats to the Bradly. From what I understand a Abrams tank crew will consist of a driver,loader, commander and gunner. In both cases the driver is of the lowest rank out of those crew who is told where to go and how fast to drive by the commander. When driving a vehicle like that the view is extremely limited. You might be able to see whats directly in front of you and a little bit on the sides depending on the type of armored vehicle you are driving and whether or not any additional gear is strapped to the tracked vehicles. .If you are driving with the hatch down that view is more limited because you are looking through what amounts to periscopes. That commander is basically the driver's eyes and ears. Without that commander telling the drive where to go the tank would end up running over some shit it shouldn't, stuck or worse.
