Russian Tank Commander Deliberately Attacks Other Moscow Soldiers; Shows Rivalry Among Putin Allies

A Russian tank commander deliberately attacked his comrades after getting into an argument on the battlefield, according to an investigative report. The tank commander, whose identity was not revealed, drove his T-90 tank toward a group of Russian national guard troops following an argument. He then fired at the checkpoint and blew it up. The event, which happened in the Zaporizhzhia region over the summer, was recounted to The New York Times by Russian drone operator Fidar Khubaev. "Those types of things happen there," Khubaev told the outlet, adding that he escaped from the war in the fall.
