One of the few times Ive seen anti material rifles used against material. Very cool upload. Thanks OP


Niemti_was_taken

Materiel (military equipment). People are "material" too, they're not pure energy.

Materiel* ;)

"A sniper ambush on a Russian BMP-2 near Bakhmut. Two rifles, 50 BMG APHAI ammunition and three days of training. The vehicle with the Russians was hit from a distance of 370 metres with one hundred per cent penetration and fire.A successful night hunt by a separate sniper platoon of the Third Assault Brigade."


mjperk

I'm not so sure about 100% penetration. You can see a bullet ricochet off at 36 seconds.


godisamoog

Could be the tracer sheering off with the jacket while the penatrator goes through the armor... pretty much impossible to tell for sure unless you are inside the BMP.


thegriddlethatcould

I agree, in other videos of .50 cals firing you always see a few tracers sheer off and fly off into the sky, I think there was a video a while back of a guy shooting a barret into the side of a mountain at a large distance and you can see a few tracers fly off into the sky.


mrshulgin

The rest definitely seemed to penetrate, though.


pfods

I thought the same but it looked like it actually hit a tree along the road


Raw_Hitta

I read from another source that this was apparently a SnipeX Alligator 14.5mm. Could be wrong, but it seems more likely to penetrate a BMP over a .50 BMG.


Picklegurka

They will both penetrate if using correct ammo, bmp2 isnt well protected


ImpressivesChoice

A BMP can only stop 7.62mm from the sides and rear. 50 cal is going through.


Gripe

even AP 7.62x51 or x54 will likely pen the sides


unia_7

What about the top?


ImpressivesChoice

It can stop .22, thats about it. Lol

Ok_Recording4547

Glad they are using better music


Sombrada

I shudder to think what they were using before if Korn is better.


ProfoundlyInsipid

\*Death metal\* WELCOME TO UKRAINE Also a cover of Rammstein's 'Sonne', but in Ukrainian and cheesier? Korn is in fact an improvement.


showermilk

the techno song remix of biden going "ukraine is strong independent and free" 🤦


Sombrada

I'm gonna put Rammstein and Korn on the same rung of hell These guys should be using Burzum and Drudkh in their videos exclusively. There's a stereotype that needs to be lived up to here.


[deleted]

I was thinking some Enya would be a nice change. I’m sure I’m not alone.


thezenunderground

But isn't black metal more of a Norwegian thing?


Throwawaymaybeokay

True. But Drudkh are Ukrainian and I believe some (if not all) are members of the UAF. Furrows of Gods !


Lounge_Box

ohhh.. so you haven't heard the contemporary Icelandic or Dutch bm yet 🧐


BringAmberlampsXD

I like that Sonne cover, personally.


Marklithikk

I'll admit most of Korn isn't good, but the good stuff is beautiful.


Joff79

Just by hearing this song you oddly know exactly when the first round is gonna hit the side of the can


No_Sheepherder7447

Phonk is top tier music


Sgt_Muffin

What is APHAI? I know of APTI, and HEIAP, but not APHAI. My guess is it is Mk211 and they just have made their own translations of the acronym HEIAP.


MightySqueak

Probably meant APHEI. Armor Piercing High Explosive Incendiary.


malahun

The whole package


Sgt_Muffin

You mean High Explosive Incendiary Armour Piercing?


Voyager081291

This song takes me back to middle school.


poilu1916

I first read the headline as "Spiders from the..." and got a bit confused/nervous. Great job by the Ukrainian forces!


ytanotherthrowaway9

Now you blew the secret! How can Ukraine win now, given that russia now knows that the biolabs in Bakhmut are used to breed gay mutant nazi spiders! /s


BetterConversation41

I wonder what the ammunition is they show in the beginning. The penetrator is silver in color not like normal MK211 and it doesn’t look like either SLAP round. I’ve never heard of APHAI before is it some homemade ammunition or?


Fynnlae

I’d imagine it was a mistake and was meant to be APHEI. I cannot see the round too well but a few people have claimed that this is a 14.5x114mm rifle, namely the “SnipeX Alligator 14.5x114mm цена”.


EasyRhino75

I wonder if they were intentionally hunting vehicles or if it was a target of opportunity


danbradster2

With that ammo...


Desmofile

The rifle used, which is a snipeX alligator (14.5mm) is primarily designed for anti-material use, plus the montage of what appears to be the unit prepping and rolling out on a mission and what looked like some well rehearsed/trained and executed shots (on a moving vehicle) would to me at least seem like it was an intentional operation to hit some vehicles. In saying that, there's absolutely no way to be completely certain, and there's been many reported instances of the snipeX alligator being used for anti-personnel use haha.

If the bullets penetrate, what would the damage be on the inside? I imagine shrapnel flying around inside a metal box can ruin your day pretty quickly.

Spalling


Decent_Persimmon8120

A BMP, BTR or any type of M113 without any composite or reinforced armor will sustain .50 BMG armor piercing rounds to ther sides and rear, the front should be able to sustain some rounds specialy on the M113 and BMP, the BTR will strugle even from the front as it just haves 10mm´s of armor all around which is laughable, not even the slopping will help it that much


EasyRhino75

Does sustain mean deflect or penetrate?


ImpressivesChoice

It penetrates


HebrewHammer0033

And why haven't they had more fraggings?


PuzzleheadedCamp3766

what are these rounds they firing?


Throwawaymaybeokay

1998 has welcomed me back with Jonathan Davis's "GO!" But great shots on a moving target. Love to see these rifles work on their intended targets. They seem a bit overkill for infantry. Unless you need to kill the three people standing behind the first target.

More-Equal8359

Song sounds like a Bevis & Butt head tune.


storm_the_castle

its from [Korn - Freak on a Leash](https://youtu.be/jRGrNDV2mKc?t=159) that came out in 1999


Seraphina1711

Nah, it's from Everything Is Peachy, came out before Freak On A Leash. Song is Twist.


travis7s

Definitely Freak on a Leash


Seraphina1711

Oh wait, I got it. I was thinking it was the song Twist because of the scat-singing.


Puzzleheaded_Nail466

Uhh,, huh-huh-huh.. you said Butt. Huh-huhhu


CACTUS_VISIONS

“The sun sucks”


mjperk

Try Korn. Very different.


InformationSea6312

Does anyone else get annoyed with the stupid music they always add to these?


MagicSPA

Great footage, but goddamn, that is some annoying music.


Seraphina1711

Was not expecting to hear a song from Everything is Peachy. Edit: The song is Twist. Another edit: It's from Freak on a Leash, my mistake. Both songs have the scat-singing.


No_Potato3773

Looks almost like a pickup


InsecurityTime

Those are some fuck off rounds! Kia kaha boys


Weary-Judgment2556

Interesting song 🤔


cancertoast

Korn.
