War Wreckage

Driving around some areas in eastern Ukraine, it almost becomes routine to see the wreckage of war in all sorts of locations, even out in the middle of nowhere. We came across numerous destroyed tanks, armored personnel carriers, jeeps, artillery, you name it. For whatever reason, the vast majority of the destroyed cars we saw were upside down, likely thrown in the air from an artillery round or a mine.

A heartbreaking image from Bohorodychne.

Hard to believe, but this was once a late model pickup truck.

Leaving our mark on a destroyed Russian tank.

The huge cylinders of a tank engine.

Incinerated ammunition.

Sadly, the vehicle on the right bears the white cross markings of a Ukrainian vehicle.

At a gas station on the way back to Kharkiv one evening, we came across a large collection of destroyed Russian vehicles, missile parts, shell casings, etc. And naturally, we felt compelled to leave our autographs on a tank.
