Let's hope so, although the pic in that link suggests that fuel wasn't the problem for that tank's predicament:
Yep, looks like a a big IED!
The Russians have gone in

If they are indeed out of fuel, that indicates **** poor planning.
Ukraine needs:
Shoulder fired anti tank missiles
Shoulder fired anti aircraft missiles
Howitzers
Anti-tank mines
Rockets and rocket launchers
Lots of ammunition for all of the above
The resolve of the free world to get it done

The tank off the side of the
road, note its right tow line
is extended. I think the
crew is just awaiting AAA
to arrive.
And the Ukraine Highway
Dept. forgot to post a
"Caution, Soft Shoulder"
sign.
Being a tank driver has
its down sides.

This being the key to the others. Let's hope and pray we can do this (without starting WW III)
Which is a direct result of misjudging your opponent.
Because of the Javelins, Stingers, and other goodies as well as 8 years of coordinated military training though the Embassy ODC. We've helped them reform their audit systems, their Patrol Police, and advised on all kinds of civil society improvements to help with eventual EU accession. The EU helps as much or more than we do.

The Europeans, in their race to go "green" have left themselves very vulnerable to Russian energy sources.
Maybe why those jets are not flying over Ukraine?

Sadly the EU and NATO countries
misspoke about providing those
planes to Ukraine.
But since they are surplus and of
no use to the nations that have
them, those planes will end up
somewhere. A disinterested
private company will buy them
and profit from them as it wishes.

Absent Comrade
Far from being surplus, those planes are basically Bulgaria's and Slovakia's entire air force. The Bulgarian and Slovak Air Forces have no other combat jets in their inventories. This would also reflect a not-insignificant amount of the Polish Air Force's current aerial combat capacity, with its nearly 30 MiG-29s still flying alongside almost 50 F-16 C/D Vipers of various blocks.

Watching the news the last couple of days, a few thoughts come to mind...
* It's really good to see CNN return to what Ted Turner originally intended it to be: a flexible and multi-faceted news organization, able to cover these types of stories like no one else. They're doing a terrific job.
* One of the surprises from last night's CNN interview with President Zelensky was that he speaks English quite well...I had no idea. He looks terrible, as you would expect: weary, sleep-deprived, etc. I can't imagine the stress he's under right now.
* If I hear another commentator speculate on whether Putin has committed "war crimes", I swear I'll scream. The moment his army crossed the border into Ukraine, he committed a war crime, and everything the evil thug has done since then is just the icing in the cake. The Russian army is targeting civilian facilities and infrastructure that have no military purpose or value; how long will the civilized world watch this go on, and address it only through sanctions?
The link below is to the United Nations' definition of what constitutes "war crimes"...

Bigwheelzip,
Perhaps I was trying to be
too subtle about the "sale"
of those warplanes.

This explains the crisis in a nutshell.

For all the blustering put on by the U.S. and the EU, I believe that the Ukraine is doomed. I hope I am wrong. Sad to see lives lost in vain. Sanctions are good for the short term, but ways will be found around them eventually or they will be dropped as they are effecting other countries economies.
I hope everyone remembers that we and the UK guaranteed Ukraine's borders if they gave up their nukes. They did their part.

Right track looks to be damaged or drive sprocket or road wheels as its canted. Easiest way to stop any track is its tracks.
Once the thousands of anti-tank rockets currently en route make it into the hands of Ukranian freedom fighters, any airframe under 10,000' and all Russian ground armor and troop carriers will be targets of opportunity.
Let's see how the Russians like this war when their sons begin returning home in body bags by the truckload.
