A recent photo from Ukraine shows an abandoned Russian BMP-2 graffitied with "Wolverines" in an apparent reference to the movie "Red Dawn."

Highlights

  • A photo shows an abandoned Russian BMP-2 with the word “Wolverines” scrawled on the side in white spray paint in an apparent homage to the 1984 Cold War-era action flick “Red Dawn’s” A Ukrainian oil and gas company head snapped a photo of the vehicle.
  • The photo was shared to Twitter on Thursday in response to a tweet by NPR’s White House correspondent, Scott Detrow, who wrote that “We were driving too fast to get a clear picture – but we just drove past a destroyed Russian tank with WOLVERINES spraypainted across it.” The image mirrors images from the film, where destroyed Soviet vehicles are graffitied with “Wolverine”
