Ukraine is obviously in a desperate situation at the moment, but arming your population with guns and molotov cocktails, and telling them they get to keep any Russian hardware they capture is quite a creative approach.
So is Russia. They have no food and equipment to give to soldiers so they're releasing them from the army and telling them to go back home.

However they are great at keeping the crews inside their vehicles, which reduces their visibility of the environment and makes them prone to walk into bigger problems. Also, armoured personnel carriers and older tanks are actually a bit more susceptible to cocktails and can actually be disabled or temporary stopped by one.
Oh, for the Russian soldiers, I am not buying a tank that is burned or has got hit by a Molotov, a Javelin or an MLAW, which is likely to happen if you continue ahead. Sell it now or forget 'bout it. Do not die for Putin.
