Since February 2022, Ukraine has relied heavily on Western aid to resist the Russian invasion, including the use of U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams tanks. Despite its reputation as a reliable main battle tank, the Abrams has suffered heavy losses on Ukrainian soil, with up to 20 out of 31 tanks reportedly destroyed due to advanced Russian weaponry like the Kornet anti-tank missile.
can I see the pictures?
found some of the aftermath
could someone tell me what exactly I am seeing in this video? https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1766891196989706377/video/2
The 2nd video looks like the footage was taken through a very long telephoto lens, using a tree as cover, doing the usual lens-compression effect you get with long telephotos. I'm wondering if it's a mirror lens like one of those generic 500mm f/8 ones. That ugly ringed effect can happen under the right exposure circumstances.
