Just look at some of the vehicles that aren't burt out. Some of them look more or less fine at first glance. Notice that all their tires are flat.
I remember seeing a video filmed by a Russian who's vehicle had been hit by a HIMARS strike, and he showed how the vehicle looked fine at a distance, but up close you could see that the whole thing was perforated by tiny holes. These little holes were made by thousands of small tungsten balls moving fast enough to pierce clean through the engine block.
It appears that all those flat tires are indicating that those entire trucks, and anyone who was on them, are similarly perforated.
32Or, hear me out, ALL Russian vehicles have flat tires by default.
19Was it this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5h7BkCj5rI14The secret of the M30A1 lies in a huge number of tungsten BBs arranged around an explosive core – about 182,000 of them. The design is from a technology known as Lethality Enhanced Ordnance developed by Orbital ATK, later acquired by Northrop Grumman. This approach uses computer modeling to calculate the optimum size, number, density and placement of fragments to ensure that a warhead produces the maximum possible effect against a specific type of target. The developers claim that the M30A1 produces the same sort of lethality as the cluster warhead. This blanketed an area of over four football fields per rocket, so a salvo of six would blanket half a square mile.
Imagine riding along, you're suddenly on the floor somehow and everyone is dead or dying around you.
12Thats the one! I had forgotten how you could see all the punctures in the windshields. But when not a single tire survives, it indicates a very high density of shrapnel. I saw someone else commenting here that this could have been a Bradley, and while a Bradley could probably also have decimated an unarmoured column like this one, I don't think we would be seeing this kind of damage if that was the case.

I only saw all the corpses inside those seemingly intact vehicles, didn't even notice the tires.

Ooof. Those trucks full of 200's
18This is likely the deadliest strike on Russian forces since the beginning of Russia's invasion.
12Probably since they himarsed that new conscript party.
11I'm thinking of the 2023 new years strike

All the civilians driving around trying to get on with their day swerving around brunt up trucks full of dead bodies. I can't imagine living in a warzone.
13what is he saying?
9This could have been done by a single Bradley or similar. Getting caught with their pants down seems to be standard procedure for the Russians.
5Too much area
