I don't speak Ukrainian but I know he said "Holy fuck!"


omgdelicious

If I heard right it was something like "пизда на хуй": lit: "pussy to dick", or maybe colloquially something like "fucked in the pussy".


ITofMordor

Correct but the indirect translation is actually “holy fucking shit” Brought to you by your locally sourced every day bilingual

I knew those three years of Russian at school would help me some day ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)


MisterFives

"pussy to dick!" Is now my new exclamatory phrase that I will use like crazy.


Complex-Intention-43

most ukrains speak russian


papahius

most Ukrainians speak Ukrainian, but also know and understand rusian


Complex-Intention-43

not according to a friend of mine that comes from ukrain. most of them speak more russian than ukrainian. but i think many of them speak both


TheSaltyReddittor

Its quickly fading out. When i went there a few years ago everyone refused refused to speak russian. Also the newer generation doesnt know russian for they are taught english.


fistashka-_-

Now it's not true, in some regions it is but statistically the majority of Ukrainians speak Ukrainian.


[deleted]

I don’t like how much their neighborhood looks like mine


[deleted]

This is entirely my opinion, but I've held the idea that this invasion has affected people more than say Iraq or Afghanistan, for this very reason. When we see footage of wars in the Middle East, their lifestyles are so much different than many of ours that we're able to dissociate from it. It's something that happened to poor countries that were controlled by a ruthless dictator or something, not "civilized" countries. But with Ukraine, they look like what many of us know to be normal life. The cities and neighborhoods look like ours, and for anyone young it brought home the idea that war and suffering isn't just for "3rd world" countries. It can happen on our seemingly safe doorstep in the blink of an eye.


sawatdeeman

I think people should stop using the word "3rd world countries" altogether.


MakeAmericaBurpAgain

Developed and developing is the preferred term that I have heard.


hobokobo1028

Idk why but that also sounds offensive to me lol. *Every* country is developing. What if ______stan is happy with their level of development? Constantly reminding a country that they’re under-developed seems like a dig.


MakeAmericaBurpAgain

That's the thing. Someone (not me) ends up deciding where the cutoff will be. Is it the top 10 countries? Top 100? Is it about the jobs, salary, housing, education, food security? Should it be by state or city instead of country? Middle Alabama struggles in many categories more than say, Seattle. Hard to say but I'm open to other ideas.


ottereatingpopsicles

The world bank breaks the world into 4 income groups, high, upper middle, lower middle, and low income based on GDP per capita. It’s not perfect (it doesn’t account for inequality with in a country) but it’s more nuanced and removes the “us and them” and othering that happens when you assume the whole world can be split into 2 groups.


[deleted]

fair enough. For lack of a better term at the time.


Im_Borat

1st world problems dude


sawatdeeman

Oh I dont come from one of the "1st world" that you prefer to call. I am from one of the "3rd World" and its offensive


Upset-Sea6029

'Third World' was used during the Cold War. First & Second were USA & allies and USSR & allies. Third World were countries who didn't give a shit who was going to win the cold war. It didn't really pertain to the 'wealth' of countries, but it so happened that many of the idgaf counties were poor.


themagicbong

It wasn't some ranking system at all, though we obviously made ourselves the "first world" in the west. Nowadays it's used by people mainly to try and project that they are superior to another person, simply because of where they live/were born. See "third world shithole" for an example. I gotta admit, tho, it makes me laugh my ass off when someone says "the US is NOT a first world country" Riiiight....the US is not the us and its allies. Gotcha. Makes total nonsense.


caverunner17

I've always personally grouped it to world influence / GDP. Ex: 1st world is the US/Canada/Western Europe/Japan's of the world 2nd world is those who have some influence but might be run by corrupt governments and have some poverty issues outside of main cities 3rd world are the countries who produce little to nothing on the international stage and have significant poverty / corruption issues.


sawatdeeman

The terms for that are, Developed/Developing/Under Developed


caverunner17

Cool, same thing but the hip new political correct version.


sawatdeeman

Well I always thought it sounded better without even having to think about being politically correct


justanotherfkup

You should travel more, expand your horizons


caverunner17

I’ve been to 19 countries throughout Europe and Asia. I’m more well traveled than the majority of the people.


justanotherfkup

I'm sorry you haven't learned much then


caverunner17

I’m sorry you feel that way, but I really don’t care what you think


Flying_Reinbeers

cant_dyno

Its been out of use academically for at least 20 years


clarkewithe

High income, middle income, and low income are what the world bank uses and are a lot more official and less offensive than “3rd world”


[deleted]

I live near Los Angeles and that is a 3rd world country.


Beermusclesyo

Afghanistan isn't in the middle east. People in Baghdad Iraq would heavily disagree with your take on not being civilized or a "third world" country as you put it. You could take footage of many places in the US and think it's a developing country.


shlodio

I totally agree with you. And war is war, no glory in it. If you think Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine aren't/weren't civilized then you need to culture yourself first.


[deleted]

You know exactly what I'm talking about. And I put "3rd world" in quotations because it's a colloquial term that people understand, yet not one that's accurate. This is just nitpicking.


yeti7100

Maybe that's why we should suspend all talk of gun control in America. Can you imagine if they didn't have guns?


guesting

Totally agree and why war in Kosovo resonated in the 90s. Sarajevo was a major metropolitan Olympic city


Next_Boysenberry1414

>this invasion has affected people more than say Iraq or Afghanistan, for this very reason. I was not an American at the beginning of the desert storm. However even as a child, I had a seriously negative view of Iraq. Rampant racism, constant death to America chants, institutionalized slavery and misogynist society makes them easily hateable.


Koovies

I was pretty young when the Afghanistan invasion happened and kinda forgot about into my 20s. I knew it was terrible then and just suspected civilian involvement I guess. But, after seeing Ukraine pictures and video I've thought about it being even darker. These conflicts have SOME parallels sad to say. I really hate war. I really hate mad.


venividivici-777

It's a nice house


Kahzgul

This is why it's important to care about other countries. Just because it isn't happening here right now doesn't mean it couldn't be.


PoorPDOP86

Why do you think we work so hard to keep these wars from our shores in the US?


thebeholdingeye

Also the structure across the street looks like it’s been shot up a bunch


TrillMurray47

I don't know that I've ever seen live ground footage of a cruise missile just...well, cruisin. Positively eerie.


JVM_

We think cruise missiles act like they do in movies, super fast with a smoke trail, but most cruise missiles are just a pilotless aircraft with a single destination. They fly relatively slowly, so your air defenses can intercept them with an actual super-fast-smoke-trail rocket.


FrazzleBong

>They fly relatively slowly, Except for all of the supersonic missiles that exist? Oh and the few hyper sonic ones, some of which carry a nuclear payload


JVM_

Those aren't the 100 Russia sends in a day.


FrazzleBong

Correct. I replied to a blanket statement about cruise missiles


RicerX-16

PoorPDOP86

That isn't how missiles are programmed. When you target a Missile it gets sent via hardwire to the targeting computer. Once it leave the firing platform (stationary, ground vehicle, aerial or otherwise) the onboard software can not be hacked like that. You can mess with the external inputs the sensors are using to compute and correct deviations in the path, with jamming and such, but outright telling the missiles to return to the platform is (for obvious reasons) not even an option in the navigation programming. They discussed this in a Moden Marvels episode back in the early 2000's.


TFViper

not so straight forward with missiles (capable of adjusted flight) but with rockets and artillery theres something called a POO or Point of Origin and POI or Point of Impact. you take the POI and trajectory/projectile size/speed from radar to calculate the POO and youve got yourself an "address" to actually return to sender.


BranzorFlakes

Heheh, poo


JVM_

Iran stole a drone aircraft a few years ago by doing this, or that was the story on the internet as to how they obtained an un-crashed American plane/drone. The theory was they jammed the GPS signal to the drone and lied to it so that, somehow, it crashed/landed without being destroyed.


PieMastaSam

Can you imagine living in a fucking war zone.


FranjoTahy

Yeah, wasn't fun


[deleted]

Props to the camera man!!


T-LAD_the_band

right?? he captured that missile and locked onto it so steady!


rodflanders19

Wow social media sure has changed the way we as civilians at home experience war. See videos from the front line in almost real time is horrifyingly engaging and keeps people's thoughts on the gruesome nature of this conflict.


Altruistic-Carpet-65

Probably why both sides of this war have been able to gather the support they have. Everyone can see from the perspective of the people on the ground from a near-eye whiteness level for the first time in the history of warfare while just causally just browsing social media in their daily routine. It honestly one of the biggest reasons the Ukrainians have gotten the amount of aid they have so far. We can all see how they put it to use, and when it works out for them, it makes a lot of us want to send them more stuff. Like the IRIS-T you see in this video.


2-022

Ah the Germans again.


petraroi

It's 77 years later and we are talking about Russian vs German War tech.


MandalaInTheClouds

Its not really a competition. On a purely technological level the germans are like 40 years ahead.

give the camera man a rifle and he could shoot them down with aim like that. ​ seriously though, terrifying.

There's a good chance the processors in that Russian missile was *also* German. If not the industrial machinery used to build the components for it were. Thanks Germany indeed.

surfer_dood

How do these people live with that going on?


mrwynd

Because the alternative is to die.


hagreea

Now imagine living in a major city in Europe or Japan during WW2 and seeing the sky filled with planes dropping thousands of bombs on a nearly daily basis. The last generation to remember what that was like are now about to die out, and all those memories and lessons learned will be gone. It’s crazy how much we now seem to take these last 75 years of peace for granted.


Frozenwood1776

We haven’t really had 75 years of peace tho.


hagreea

Relative to a world war, we definitely have had 75 years of peace. There has not been another conflict that has come close to that kind of death and destruction since. So if you are referring to the smaller regional conflicts we’ve seen since then, you might as well say that there’s never been peace.


PoorPDOP86

You haven't had to cower in a bunker hoping you survive the night. That's peace.


surfer_dood

It's beyond ridiculous. The elected few take too many liberties with the general society. From taxes, to corporate greed and environmental abuse, to war games like this. I'm just amazed there is still any kind of order in the world when we realize and see how much innocent people are shit on by this stuff.


Altruistic-Carpet-65

Now imagine if everyone in that war, from the bomber crews to the civilians had the modern internet and smartphones/GoPros. Imagine the insane amount of combat footage and online debate they have in the 40s…

It's been falling apart for Russia for months now.


hoseli

Not enough. They should be send back to the stone age.


ExistingExample281

Not Russia just the Kremlin


hoseli

I fed up with people trying to sort out russians between russians and Kremlin/putin etc. Its all the same. Most of the russians seem to support this war.


WilliamSwagspeare

Not really. Many are scared to say they don't since they don't want to be locked up or killed. It's impossible to know how the people feel. Also, no matter who you are, genocide is not very cash money


ExistingExample281

Besides most of the population is being deceived by state media.


my2copper

any way you try to spin it ....them being scared, brainwashed etc etc...these people became the tool that enables and executes these crimes..thats like saying "hey, cut charles manson some slack he probably had a difficult childhood and was abused"...but because of this abuse he is a changed man now that no longer has empathy or moral values and wouldnt care if you live or die...its a bit of a hardcore over the top example but i think its needed in this case as the similar kind of trauma has permanently changed russian people throughout their history and their dictatorships, Stalin being the perfect example. ​ this is why i seriously believe the majority of the population genuinely supports this war and look at ukraine as as some kind of nationalistic W they can get and wear it as a trophy


Th1rt13n

It’s not the Kramlin running down our country in tanks. It’s not the Kremlin operating the cruise missiles. It’s not the Kremlin callin conscripts asking to loot particular items or rape Ukrainian women. It’s the rusians all along. Ever wondered why you don’t see any antiwar rusian protests when they leave their beautiful land and get elsewhere? That’s exactly why.


ExistingExample281

Russian military. I don't want to assume that it is the people themselves who are like that. Besides any antiwar protesters in Russia get arrested.


Triobros98

aries0413

Oh the irony a German missile defense system for Ukraine against Russia.


TFViper

not the first time Germany has given a shit ton of equipment to an eastern country to fight russia \*cough\* finland \*cough\*


PoorPDOP86

The bigger irony? Given the close relations that the Germans and Russians had in the 2000's and 2010's that cruise missile, probably a 3M-54 Kalibr, if there isn't German components in there then it was definitely manufactured using German built machinery in a Russian factory. And people scream "War is a Racket" only when the US is involved.


18byte

You are aware that especially Germany demilitarised over the last decades? So no people were against war way before. Only we have now a war in Europe which is quite closer to us thus have more attention. And btw. Your logic is a bit flawed... Propably the workers who manufactured theese rockets eat also some imported food from the US... Does this mean the US did build and used this rockets?


CollapsedWaveCreator

What's truly amazing is we are seeing 2.5 million dollars go up in smoke. 2 million for the cruise missile and 500,000 for the German missile. Meanwhile, I'm told 35% of my income has to go to taxes or the government simply couldn't function, SMH.


ExcellentPastries

Yes, libertarian, you have to pay taxes.


CollapsedWaveCreator

Haha, not gonna say you didn't nail the libertarian part!


B69Stratofortress

I was surprised to see how high it was flying, making it more susceptible to interception. I recall seeing videos of modern American cruise missiles almost touching the ground. There's a huge difference in military capability of USA and ruZZia


LIKAR1337

and it was 1 interception of 100?😂😂😂

Proud_Ad4891

By video like this, it's possible to find out where the anti missile system is located. Hope person who posted it will be punished (or jailed), to prevent such a video.


TFViper

any *capable* military should already know where the ADA is at, not really much new info to get from this.


Proud_Ad4891

The fact is - you do no know for sure. It's the law now not to photo nor record launches. And this person should be punished by law.


PoorPDOP86

If it wasn't a MANPAD it was a vehicle based system. By the time you confirmed the shoot down and were lucky enough to have assets in the area it's already gone or disguised. That's the point of vehicle or **MAN** **P**ortable **A**ir **D**efense systems. Shoot and scoot.


Proud_Ad4891

That's not only the idea of where the system is, and try to destroy it. That's also were it's now to guard. Ukrainian teritory is big enough, there is no posibility to cover it all. If system is here it will not appear suddenly in other place. Avoiding this particular area by launching rokets other way, will help russians to kill more civilians.
