A private military group defeats an army that has been training and fortifying a city for years. This was done using only shovels.

[lastword]

The laser guided shovels was the turning point of the battle.

SHOVELS?
western journalists said that Wagner was nothing but shovel wielding convicts. They said Wagner had to fight with shovels because they had no ammo.

The drunk Prison convicts with no ammunition that fought with shovels, that took 5x the casualties took Bakhmut, not a good look for Ukraine

[speedyv]

first time in History that a Private military company, with the help of Prisoners, defeated a NATO backed army.

[kosmosstasmos]

Never underestimate a man with a shovel 😂

[girishp]

Bakhmut

200 USD billion given to Ukraine, entire NATO intelligence infrastructure, advisors, mercenaries and 2nd largest army in Europe, NATO "standard army training" since 2014... And "Wagner" humiliated entire NATO

[optimvsprinceps]

A wonderful melody was produced by these musicians! Round of applause! Bravo!

[Accesdenied]

The fact that convicts with shovels managed to capture a fortress city with only shovels is truly hilarious😂😂😂

[Ermac_]

Wagner got the golden shovel from origins 💀

[seadfacic]

Yesterday i went to buy a shovel...For self protection.

[jbatt]

What he meant to say was they have complete destroyed the city. Not completely taken it.

[CTROCK]

The fake news media said Ukraine is winning 😂

[nembohdiland]

This man deserves to be call a colonel or a general. He is leading convicts to defeat a formidable Ukrainian army.
