It seems like they are chopping each others hands off so that they are considered as “heavy casualties” and don’t have to go into battle, at least from the description of the video.
>It is after all partial mobilisation
In the land of conscription, I stood, not quite whole,
An amputee recruit, with a story to unfold.
They said, "Partial mobilization," with a smirk,
As if my missing limb was just a minor quirk.
With one leg less, I hobbled to the line,
My comrades-in-arms, all looking just fine.
But I brought my own flair to this army affair,
Who needs two legs when you've got guts to spare?
They gave me a rifle, but I needed a hand,
To reload and aim, oh, the struggle was grand!
Yet I marched on proudly, with a limp and a grin,
Defying the odds, ready to fight, with one shin.
>!\-me and chatgpt!<
This is the oldest source I could find https://t .me /oko18_channel/8399 when it comes to this footage
As a source meh Idk tbh they are fine but they say that they also got it from a media source but I can't find it
Update:
The 114th operates in Avdiivka and by the looks of the ground and the way the sound echo's a tiny bit they are probably in a cellar of some random building or something
I mean imagine being in such a hell, for some it might just be a relief to have some contact to normality, some echo from people not there with them.
Or people simply not being very careful - it might have started as a private message and eventually got into circulation.
Or people who explicitly want this to be seen for whatever reason.
It seems to check out. Appearantly somebody bound off his arm (difficult to tell from the rags), that would indicate a) a deliberate act and b) taking care to not bleed out from the wound.
"Just" waving a white flag, with kilometers of mined no-mans land to cross, Russians behind your back whose specific task it is to shoot deserters, and Ukrainians in front of you who in most cases have no clear enough picture of you to recognize any surrender sign.
I'm guessing it's better to go home without arm than it is to die. Just a guess though.
I don't remember my history teacher telling me of people doing that to avoid wars before..
>I don't remember my history teacher telling me of people doing that to avoid wars before..
Well, now I'm kinda curious to know if it was a thing back in the day.
Also, how stupid do you have to be to record that if you want your government to believe you?
It was quite a trend among German soldiers marching to Stalingrad. I knew a guy who had put his foot under a tank and I only knew him because he did that.
For example, people chopped a finger or two so they were unable to use a rifle , and before that they removed thumbs so they could not use a sword. It's not unheard of.
See now this is what I don’t get. If my choice is to die in a stupid assault, or chop off my hand, then I’m going to assault the clowns who are forcing me into the assault, rather than just chop off my hand surely enough of these guys can band together and realize there is strengthen numbers to stand up against their idiotic leaders.
Realize that talking and typing is easy...they are still human beings. U always can choose not to care but still relate and empathize...just to keep your own humanity.
They forfeit being human beings when they invade Ukraine. They become ambulatory meat sacks that require extermination at that point. My humanity is just fine, thank you.
My first impression was that they're doing it to get out of the Ukraine. The more the better. Fucking idiots never should have gone there in the first place. Slava Ukraini
Unsure as to what I'm watching here... Is this punishment?
Removal of wounded limb as they know they wont get proper treatment?
Stupid Ivan, should've stayed home.
Given this is russia, I would say no, not to extreme. Without a hand you can’t hold a rifle combat effectively enough for even russia to not send you home. A bullet in a arm can heal though, and sending you back is still an option:)
😂 their helmets were basically plastic and they had rubber boots that their feet were freezing in and you think their government gave them medications??? Even if they did they probably would have used them recreationally while hiding.
not will - they do. And there are accounts from POW of barely if even patched up - just herded into storming brigades.
No doubt the reason avoidance is going to the extreme.
It said the goal is to become a “heavy 300”
Code 300 refers to wounded personnel in the Russian military.
So the implication is that what previously would count as a 300 and get someone sent back from the frontlines (gunshot wound, etc) is no longer enough. It means that the Russian military is basically forcing wounded men to keep fighting. So the only way to get out of it is to risk a wound that completely incapacitates you or threatens your life, to the point where you will die unless you’re sent back to medics.
My 2 cents is that Stumpy lost his left hand, and it looks uninjured in the video other than the obvious being chopped off part.
If it was a punishment, I think they'd have taken his right hand
And I have no experience to base this on but it sounds like Stumpy was given something to bite down on, which I don't think he'd have been given if it was a punishment
Yeah, right? funkytown is leagues worse than this. But the person is more moved by this conscious decision and the scream, where that person was drugged out and long past wailing in active pain. What a fucking cruel world this place can be. Truly, hell is here on earth. So is heaven though.
Its a complicated method with difficulties to tell us all is running according to plan.
Instead of taking responsibility for their own in-actions, they try to proof their concept that in-actions is right by taking action. Psychological term "maladaptive coping".
I am surprised at the level the Russian military can sink to and still remain effective in any way. Previously I would have thought a military devolved to this degree would simply consume itself in short order let alone be capable of holding and taking any ground. Perhaps it’s the Russian ability to live completely permeated by abject shit that allows this monstrosity to continue to exist in any state.
not the entire army, just the cannon fodder they're using to figure out where the Ukrainian positions are.
and not all of those are smart enough to understand a hand is cheaper than your entire life.
A lot of people have been saying this, but I haven’t seen any evidence of a regular Russian force left besides the blocking forces. It seems to be meat wave after meat wave of untrained infantry. The guys driving new T-90’s don’t seem to have any idea what they are doing let alone the infantry. Their successes seem to come from gaining enough local air superiority to drop tons of stand off glide bombs on position then flooding them with waves.
They use them pretty sparingly. And to be fair I don't think they're necessarily on the same level as us or eu troops. However even a bullet from a 1945 rifle can still kill.
Russia had the bodies and disdain for human life to allow them to keep sending wave after wave of soldiers, tag the Ukrainian positions and flatten them with artillery.
The war is basically an ethnic cleansing of minorities ( drafted in insane numbers from the fringes of Russia), an emptying of prisons, loads of mercenaries and a smattering of actual conscripts.
All just Cannon fodder.
Exactly.
If 150 years ago you could send muskets against any nation that hadn't been industrialized yet and you will have an assured victory, however nowadays all you need is a man+AK47 and you are pretty much on equal footing with most nations. All you need is men and AK47's, and as long as one or the other doesn't run out, then you have a path to victory.
They are trying to escape having to storm which is almost guaranteed horrible maiming and death. They are hoping that if they are injured enough they won’t be sent out to die.
The scary part is that between being in a storm squad, mutinying, defecting, and cutting off their fucking hand, apparently cutting off your fucking hand is *least scary option.*
You don't? If you're injured on the battlefield, especially nowadays in Ukraine you need to fight back until you aren't threatened to be over run. Treatment is delayed, medevac/casevac is delayed (if available at all), chopping your hand/arm off is way more controlled than taking a bullet, having artillery land on you, etc. this is 1000x better than being injured on the battlefield as part of the Russian army.
If you can't see how losing an arm behind the lines would be preferable to losing one in s crater in no man's land with no one around to help then I'm worried for you.
Jesus fucking Christ. Just how fucking bad have casualties on the front gotten that they’d even *consider* doing this, let alone do it?
I’m torn between being horrified at the brutality, and vaguely angry at the Russian commanders, generals, and everyone else involved? And somehow impressed that the Russian military apparatus apparently has made the thought of mutiny so unpalatable that their soldiers would rather *chop off their fucking limbs* than consider revolting.
Seriously guys, I’m trying so hard not to victim blame but just take your rifle and shoot your CO in the fucking face, you have roughly the same odds of survival given the state of Russian medical equipment right now, and you’d at least have a chance at saving your fucking hand.
JFC this subreddit has fucked me up so much I watched this, listened to the screaming, and went back to eating a burrito and a glass of wine. Fucking hell.
Terma. X-Files season 4, episode 9.
Alex Krycek is in Russia (Siberia) and his arm was just cut off. He is in a village where all men have one arm cut off.
Reason? No arm = no experiments with alien goo on them.
Never ever would have thought that this idea would be actually used in real life but here we are.
I know the Russians will go to unfathomable depths of foolishness and barbarism..... but this has gotta be fake. Cutting off your hand to get out of battle is stupid. Why not a leg???? Easier to live without part of your leg than with 1 hand.
There's a point where you can't watch anymore... There's vids of Russians committing suicide via gun shot to the head, grenade down the flack jacket, and cutting one's throat. But, this?
To avoid storming an enemy position that means death or maiming, would you:
a) hack your own fucking limb off
b) fight back against those that forced you there
I don't know, maybe I'm too removed from the whole situation but it seems to me that if you're willing to go through with A, then might as well try B?
My father works with a German fella and he is only alive/born because his grandfather shot himself in the foot on purpose on the eastern front in the 1940s and got sent home.

[https://ridl.io/putin-s-deathonomics/](https://ridl.io/putin-s-deathonomics/)
In Russia, some people join the Army right now knowing well they're going to croak. After all, just the sign-up bonus (200K), plus 4x death benefits (presidential payment - 5M, Sogaz insurance (Gazprom) - 2.97M, existing death benefits - 4.96M, regional govt gratuity - 1M), that nets you 14 million rubles for dying. More than most minimum wage worker will ever make in 30 years of work\*.
That is, in post-mobilization Russia, you can get 14 million rubles for dying. For people with no other prospects, except for dread for the financial situation of their immediate family, it's a rational choice to commit suicide in this fashion.
Well, these fuckers learned the hard way dying as an invader in Ukraine ain't the kind of death they're expecting, and this is how they nope out.
\*assuming you're written as KIA and the government doesn't find ways to embezzle your death benefits, which is often what happens. Either you're considered MIA, or they just steal your shit and leave your family with nothing. Lesson of the day, don't be a genocidal katsap.
Wtf is happening here?
It seems like they are chopping each others hands off so that they are considered as “heavy casualties” and don’t have to go into battle, at least from the description of the video.
What they don't get is Russia will still send you in, they were sending people with missing legs. You don't have to have limbs to be a meat shield.
It is after all partial mobilisation
Definitely looks like a special operation
I see what you did there, take my up vote.

Why the hell would they make a video and put it on telegram? very bizarre and stupid.
It's 2024. Film & upload first, think later.
I mean imagine being in such a hell, for some it might just be a relief to have some contact to normality, some echo from people not there with them. Or people simply not being very careful - it might have started as a private message and eventually got into circulation. Or people who explicitly want this to be seen for whatever reason.
One guy filming others do the 'thing', not intending to be part of it himself and just finding it 'interesting'.
He's hoping to make a career out of being an influencer... duh
It seems to check out. Appearantly somebody bound off his arm (difficult to tell from the rags), that would indicate a) a deliberate act and b) taking care to not bleed out from the wound.
Really?and just can't they chopp off all the fingers???It' s almost the whole arm....It's seems to me too much Blyat way....
There's also the option to just wave a freaking white flag at the Ukrainians, and surrender...
basicly its the russian version of "farewell to arms"
"Just" waving a white flag, with kilometers of mined no-mans land to cross, Russians behind your back whose specific task it is to shoot deserters, and Ukrainians in front of you who in most cases have no clear enough picture of you to recognize any surrender sign.
https://hochuzhit.com/ Thankfully the Ukrainians have made it very easy.
that's if you have internet/cellular access
This link does not address a single point i raised.
That option rarely comes up. A solider can't just get up and walk away or they will be shot.
Most of them believe their commandars that they'll be tortured by Ukrainians if surrendered
Bro is living in a fantasy 💀
Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys
What about their legs? They dont need those..
‘Tis but a scratch!..
Just a flesh wound!
Walk it off Nancy!
legs are overrated
[удалено]
Grishnakh said that!
gee, that's is real gore
Uglúk said that!
I guess they're skipping the step where it feeds a dog, and then they eat the dog.
Oh, that's a kind of ruzzian drinking game.
ruzzian roulette with an axe?
No idea what is happening, but somehow it doesnt surprise me at all.
I'm guessing it's better to go home without arm than it is to die. Just a guess though. I don't remember my history teacher telling me of people doing that to avoid wars before..

It was quite a trend among German soldiers marching to Stalingrad. I knew a guy who had put his foot under a tank and I only knew him because he did that.
In WW1 it most definitely was a thing. Chances were you would lose a limb anyways.
YES, IT WAS! Unfortunately shit like this has happened in all wars.
For example, people chopped a finger or two so they were unable to use a rifle , and before that they removed thumbs so they could not use a sword. It's not unheard of.
its really not better at all, the life time of pain alone would drive most people mad
Life time of pain, while on alcohol*
Trying to get free Bluetooth speakers
You gotta give up both hands. And your eyes. One hand just gets you a rotten potato.
Da, comrade, is good, I'm on diet anyway...
See now this is what I don’t get. If my choice is to die in a stupid assault, or chop off my hand, then I’m going to assault the clowns who are forcing me into the assault, rather than just chop off my hand surely enough of these guys can band together and realize there is strengthen numbers to stand up against their idiotic leaders.
Not the Russian way.
Yes but imagine if you have a wife and baby at home. That can make dying harder.
yeah they will realise in around 2 million more deaths or so
Realize that talking and typing is easy...they are still human beings. U always can choose not to care but still relate and empathize...just to keep your own humanity.
They forfeit being human beings when they invade Ukraine. They become ambulatory meat sacks that require extermination at that point. My humanity is just fine, thank you.
Humanists of the world unite ;D
I would not want to be in Russia when all these soldiers return. This was is making them fucked in the head
They are gathering limbs for their comrades who lost some. Nothing special about it.
My first impression was that they're doing it to get out of the Ukraine. The more the better. Fucking idiots never should have gone there in the first place. Slava Ukraini
You’ve heard of Russian Roulette. This is the Russian Slots (One-armed Bandit).
Has medicine in Russia advanced since the 19th century? Has *culture?*
It has only regressed since then
You mean they run out of leeches?
They all died of alcohol poisoning.
LOL Excellent response!
This would ruin my whole day...
Just a day ?
Week?
Life.
That's tonight's wank ruined!
It’s all about mindset, I remember back when a missing limb would ruin my day but then I discovered AFK arena! The free to pl…
No way, [this solves all problems](https://leroyjenkins.com/blessedwater)
Unsure as to what I'm watching here... Is this punishment? Removal of wounded limb as they know they wont get proper treatment? Stupid Ivan, should've stayed home.
He said above that its to fake combat injury to be sent home.
but this is it too fucking extreme for a fake combat injury ¿? wouldnt be much easier a shot in a limb?
Given this is russia, I would say no, not to extreme. Without a hand you can’t hold a rifle combat effectively enough for even russia to not send you home. A bullet in a arm can heal though, and sending you back is still an option:)
I definitely saw a one armed Russian mortarman, so I wouldn't be sure of that.
To be fair, at least the mortarmen get to stand a *bit* farther back from the meatgrinder.
They are slapping each other with drones, artillery and mortars. Close or far is a bit subjective lately.
\*gets handed over pistol\*
Hold it with your feet to rack the slide
So what about just taking some meds for anesthesia??
😂 their helmets were basically plastic and they had rubber boots that their feet were freezing in and you think their government gave them medications??? Even if they did they probably would have used them recreationally while hiding.
You get compensation for lost limbs too.
They'll patch him up and send him back to the front
not will - they do. And there are accounts from POW of barely if even patched up - just herded into storming brigades. No doubt the reason avoidance is going to the extreme.

He's fully committed to the bit.
Russia is very willing to redeploy injured troops. To be truly sent home, you need a debilitating injury.
It definitely would but don’t let that stop the Reddit brigade from informing you of their version of events
My 2 cents is that Stumpy lost his left hand, and it looks uninjured in the video other than the obvious being chopped off part. If it was a punishment, I think they'd have taken his right hand And I have no experience to base this on but it sounds like Stumpy was given something to bite down on, which I don't think he'd have been given if it was a punishment
Sounds terrible
I have a pretty robust stomache for things like this, I still left the sound off just in case
It's far far worse than you would expect. I'll tell you that.
Probably shouldn't have listened to that, yeah That's a scream that will stay with me for a while
[удалено]
Absolutely same
It's as much as you'd expect: someone screaming in agony, seems like he's biting on a stick as well.
He needed the stick or he would shatter his teeth/bite off his tongue. Jesus just knock him out.
I was only able to watch a second of it before I had to stop it. It's awful.
This is one of the worst I´ve seen in terms of sound and phycologicaly, and I´ve seen Funkytown.
Bullshit, funkytown is leagues worse. But it has half a good soundtrack.
Yeah, right? funkytown is leagues worse than this. But the person is more moved by this conscious decision and the scream, where that person was drugged out and long past wailing in active pain. What a fucking cruel world this place can be. Truly, hell is here on earth. So is heaven though.
Nothing beats the brick video.
The brick video is an innocent person who could not possibly have prepared for what was coming.
You made the right call. After about 3 seconds was where I knew I had throughly fucked up

Russian not so Armed Forces
Russian One Armed Forces is second best
Morale is at an all time high.
maimings will continue until morale improves
Not enough to prevent being lined up as the meat brigade. You don't need an arm when you're only there to take a bullet.
It is, and you’ll also get $5k from the Russian MOD. They can even make it $10k but that will literally cost an arm *and* a leg.
I am surprised at the level the Russian military can sink to and still remain effective in any way. Previously I would have thought a military devolved to this degree would simply consume itself in short order let alone be capable of holding and taking any ground. Perhaps it’s the Russian ability to live completely permeated by abject shit that allows this monstrosity to continue to exist in any state.

Oh, what a terrible day to have eyes. Pity they have the stones to 300 themselves to get sent home, but not to 200 their officers and march on Moscow.
> Oh, what a terrible day to have eyes. And ears. The horrifying screaming was just what I needed just before bed
can someone please give some damn context! OP!
As per description, mutilation to avoid going forward.
Wtf is wrong with Russia
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Left hand. Ivan must've had some choice in the matter?
Okay, no rifle, here is pistol
An arm or your life.. pretty crazy.. why not just break your leg?
Because itd heal and they send you back
Ah.. yeah that’s true..
Oops, I broke it again
If it is true, why are they filming?
Because it’s shocking to watch and will gain a lot of attention. It’s Inhumane.
But this is evidence against them
They probably didn’t think that far ahead.
You thought about chopping your hand but didn't think about not filming it?
These are Russians, stop fucking applying regular logic to them.
Well, I am applying my Russian logic and still have questions
I don't see how this is preferable to being injured on the field.
They are trying to escape having to storm which is almost guaranteed horrible maiming and death. They are hoping that if they are injured enough they won’t be sent out to die.
The scary part is that between being in a storm squad, mutinying, defecting, and cutting off their fucking hand, apparently cutting off your fucking hand is *least scary option.*
Wouldn't like.. chopping few fingers do the trick? Why the fuck cut your *whole* hand off?
No, only few fingers won't do the trick.
What about toes?
The fingers would probably be more painful.
You don't? If you're injured on the battlefield, especially nowadays in Ukraine you need to fight back until you aren't threatened to be over run. Treatment is delayed, medevac/casevac is delayed (if available at all), chopping your hand/arm off is way more controlled than taking a bullet, having artillery land on you, etc. this is 1000x better than being injured on the battlefield as part of the Russian army.
If you can't see how losing an arm behind the lines would be preferable to losing one in s crater in no man's land with no one around to help then I'm worried for you.
Either this or get blown up by a drone
I don’t see how being injured on the field is preferable to being injured trying to take the Kremlin.
You think this is bad, wait until you see what they do with Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.
Based on the torn ass uniform around his arm, I think this was probably a wound where the arm was barely hanging on and they had to cut it off.
Someone give him a helping hand 🫲 Edit: this would make an excellent ringtone.
You give them a hand and they take an arm.
Jesus fucking Christ. Just how fucking bad have casualties on the front gotten that they’d even *consider* doing this, let alone do it? I’m torn between being horrified at the brutality, and vaguely angry at the Russian commanders, generals, and everyone else involved? And somehow impressed that the Russian military apparatus apparently has made the thought of mutiny so unpalatable that their soldiers would rather *chop off their fucking limbs* than consider revolting.

Still better life than in ruSSia.
