Some questions for people who know more about military stuff than I do:
Is it because their tanks are bogging down in the mud? Is it because they’re running out of tank fuel? It it because they’re running out of tanks? Is it a good idea use these when they can be disabled by a simple hunting rifle? Doesn’t this argue against Russia holding its premier equipment in reserve?

Putin developed this tactic after a two day binge of Red Bull and Stolychnia while playing non-stop Grand Theft Auto.........
I’d be much surprised if Putin even knows about it. If Nudger’s right (and I have no reason to suspect he isn’t), this is really bad news for Russia. The Ukrainians are employing it as a deliberate tactic, while the Russians look like they’re being forced into it as a desperate response to a logistical nightmare.
Giving Putin this level of bad news is kind of a career-ender.
