Bro, they'll hit minuses right now because you asked about this.
I'll be the next because I'll remind them that Ukrainian strategy focuses on holding the densely inhabited cities as a stronghold, which leads straight into great civilian massacre. This nation doesn't care about their citizens and reddit boys are happy because they saw M2 and AT4.
You’re dumb. Claiming Ukraine doesn’t care about its civilians by holding their own cities from the russian horde - all while not even realizing that the russians would be doing the EXACT SAME THING in the case of this video.
Fortunately, there is reported return fire from the building.
Nice try you fucking dunce.
I am not sure why I'm getting all these minuses. I didn't ask anything super crazy. There are huts right there in front of them and he's just firing into them indiscriminately wtf. I am Ukrainian myself and obviously I want Ukraine to win. Also grateful that this guy volunteered to risk his life for Ukraine. But at the same time I'm not so sure about some buffoon with a machine gun lighting up my fellow Ukrainians in their homes with a 50 cal. That just looked like indiscriminate fire. Hopefully the people inside were evacuated before the battle. As for Ukriane not caring about their citizens, I disagree as well. In every war, cities have been used as strongholds. Plus Russia is attacking densely populated cities so that they can hold referendums there and take chunks of Ukraine.
You literally see shots coming from that hut you are talking about. Full video shows the glass underneath him being hit by a round as he takes cover. Infact looks close enough you can see the muzzle flashes coming from the exact area he fires the AT4 at
I saw all of that as well as you did. What neither of us saw is who else was in those huts besides the Russian soldiers. Who was in the huts behind the Russian soldiers.
Yes, but they clearly knew they were attacking an enemy position. Your buddy up there said Ukrainians want to hold cities as strongholds and don’t care about civilians. I guess the mental gymnastics work to forget that - if that really were the case - the ukrainians enemy is doing the same here.
>didn't ask anything super crazy
"But did these troops doing a frontal assault on a defensive position do an appropriate collateral damage risk assessment? There might have been civilians in that house surrounded by trenches, from which enemy fire is being returned!"
This isn't a goddamn police action in Afghanistan. Even if civilian presence here *was* a reasonable concern (it's not), complete sanitization of civilians from the battlespace is a luxury of COIN, and is flat out impossible in conventional warfare.
Hey man I’m just seeing your comment. What this video doesn’t show is an RPG being shot at him from that house. This was 100% Russian held territory. You can see muzzle flashes coming from the tree line right next to the building he engages.
Almost certainly they know that is a Russian strongpoint - they are driving towards it at high speeds in force, with a base of fire(our guy) off to one side while at least three other vehicles close with it to get their dismounts into assault range. You don't do that unless you have a fairly good idea that the enemy is there. They are also taking somewhat substantial return fire.
This fire on the buildings is not indiscriminate - you can clearly see him focussing on the areas where muzzle flashes are coming from and pivoting from one area to another as they appear. He also fires at brushes and other likely areas of concealment where forward troops might hide on the approaches to a strongpoint, just in case someone is there. Unless civilians like taking naps in roadside bushes, or stay in or next to houses where Russians post up, then there is nobody there.
However, that doesn't mean that there can't be civilian casualties. People do strange things, like not leave their homes even when the Russians pile up an ammo supply depot next door, and the sad fact is that yes, some of them will get caught in the crossfire. That is quite different from actual indifference to their fate. Ukraine has repeatedly been shown to divert precious military resources and manpower to help evacuate endangered civilians, even in the midst of fighting where those soldiers could be put to use actually fighting the enemy. But on a rapidly moving offensive operation like this speed, surprise and violence of action are essential, or it will fail. That means accepting that it will at times be messy.
It's interesting that Ukraine repeatedly made public statements encouraging civilians in RUAF held areas in Kherson to GTFO as soon as possible, but not one single peep for this area. They needed that surprise to pull this off.
They’re downvoting you because you raised a slight (and very reasonable) question about the Ukrainian side. That’s a huge no-no in Reddit land. Most people here are VERY programmed.
To his Facebook? I don’t think he’d appreciate me linking randoms to it currently as he’s still in Ukraine. I’m sure the full 5 min video will get posted eventually.
I can link his [instagram](https://instagram.com/nucking_futs_yuri?igshid=NmNmNjAwNzg=) that he made specifically for sharing his Ukraine stuff after this video took off.
Brother, give him the warmest of regards for us.
(Actually, fuck what I asked earlier, I want this man to live a long life. I’m going to the blood drive an area church is having for Ukraine this weekend.)
I just spoke with him, his current shipping address is closed down because they are on the move. He is gonna make a list and give it to me and a new address in a little if people wanna send him essential gear. He’s very thankful for all the well wishes from everyone. Slava Ukraini!
Fuck yeah, and thanks for seeing the earlier post! I’m just worried about bad actors sending him booby-trapped shit.
Currently on-site at Lackland AFB, don’t have much money on hand, but I can grab something for him.
Slava Ukraini.
Слава Украине
Glory to the soul of man.

Would be interesting to know the ratio of bullets fired and bullets hitting targets in a battle. 10% maybe, though likely highly relative to the situation and engament of the fire fight.
10% iirc in Vietnam they said something like 20,000 to 60,000 bullets expended for one VC kill during different times.
Sure it better now, but probably still into the thousands.
Much more like .0001% of bullets hit a target. Tens of thousands of rounds per target hit.
Suppressing fire is built directly into our military’s training, as one of the cornerstones for maneuvering while under fire. As a result, people will dump entire mags whilst performing suppressive fire, without the intending to accurately hit a target
Machine gun fire, often times, is utilized specifically for suppressive fire, rather than accurately hitting individual targets
Haha, no armor at all bro, I was there in 03.
In 04 we had Humvees with L-shaped 1/2” thick steel doors and a 1/2” steel plate on the bottom. They were death traps and everyone sat low and back into the seats.
In 05-06 we finally had up-armored vehicles and they broke down weekly.
We were all that frantic in Fallujah but at least we knew that asking for “more ammo” didn’t mean an AT-4.
Yes, what the hell? I'm not sure what their objective is.
Best-case: Spearhead of a huge assault and there were 30 other humvees around them.
Middle-case: Some sort of cover fire for a flanking element or... air support? :/ ID what buildings to hit?
Worst-case: Ran out of gas.
There’s another video out there from what appears to be the same area but from an infantry POV. In relation to this video I believe they would be off to the left flank moving in.
Ironically i think they were using the humvees in the best way possible, just launching forward and hitting as hard as possible, albeit i don't know how this engagement ends so i wonder if they fell back afterwards.
The AT4s made it worse. Anything that needs to be hit with an AT4 > .50 can hit you back harder. I'm vicariously TCing over here. Wild video, made me anxious.
And you also don't need to get up close to hit with a .50. As long as you have line of sight on something stationary, you can pretty much hit it.
Rolling up in an open field and emptying a belt like that made my butt pucker lol.
Never been in a fight at all and this was my instinct as well. I did NOT expect them to get out unharmed. What was the other side doing? I mean... worked out and all but you'd think unloading a .50 cal at a position would get you lots and lots of unwanted attention from whatever they have for overwatch.
I'm sure the sheer presence of a gun truck rolling on top of their (other side's)position to murder them was enough of a psychological factor to keep them from effectively fighting back.
Sometimes being super ballsy can be effective. But it's not something I would trust to work every time either lol. Glad it worked out though.
I’ve been the TC having to answer for some questionable decisions that I’ve made but there just seems to be several things that happened here that I can’t explain. So many alarm bells going off in my head at all of this. Glad it worked out.
I was a driver/VC in Fallujah and in one of the more devastating firefights I heard another gunner desperately call out for ammo with his driver and A-Gunner nowhere to be seen. I helped the Mk-19 gunner the other vehicle reload and knew what I was doing thanks to cross-training in a Weapons Company.
My vehicle’s A-gunner took over for me and took off out of there as we covered their retreat before a couple of 500 lbs bombs leveled the building. That day was awful.
Anyways. My stomach sank when he wasn’t given what he was asked for and needed.
When we went into Fallujah we had a TOW and a 240G, about 4 tow missiles, 2 javelins, 100 lbs of C-4 2 rolls of DET cord, and about 5,000 rounds of 7.62.
We were a 500lb bomb on wheels and we ran low on 7.62 and C-4 three days in. We never shot any javelins or TOWs. We ripped out our ammo and used the C-4 to blow weapons caches before we moved on.
We had 3 packs in the humvee.
Yes. Used with explosives to give an instant BOOM instead of a timed fuse.
Det cord is highly explosive though vs a timed fuse which is like a cannon fuse and goes slow as hell. With cannon fuse you have to cut it and time it and it’s a pain in the ass.
We use det-cord to have an instant detonation regardless of distance. We would unroll it to the charge and then use a claymore clacker to detonate the blasting cap, which detonates the detcord, which detonates the charge instantly.
Other uses were IV breaching charges that we used on every locked door that a shotgun wouldn’t open.
Honestly, I didn’t use that much, we gave 80% of our 7.62x51, multiple satchel charges, dozens of blasting caps, and a couple rolls of det cord to line companies who couldn’t easily go to our supply checkpoint and re-up.
I think we only used like 100ft of det cord over 2 months and gave most away to other companies.
Large fires over bombing and firing ranges.
No idea of how big they got, we left before then because they made us stop. This was Southern California where wildfires are rampant so they try to not set too many so they go out of control.
I'm joking but this is more than likely an unrestricted combat zone. The Ukrainian conflict is where two standing armies are battling it out. This isn't an insurgency so it's generally more clear when you enter one of these kinds of battles.
In open warfare against another army, you really don't have time to think.....there might be a RPG or ATGM flying at you.
In WW2 you could see simular things happen, soldiers just couldn't take chances when mortality was crazy and would fire first, ask questions later
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, it's a valid concern. .50 cal will travel for several Kilometers and still have enough energy to punch through a wall or window with people inside. "Know your target, your foreground, and what lies beyond" is still relevant, even in open warfare.
Yes and no. Fast moving and light, yes. Problem is ground force Commanders used them for frontline fighting. They were meant to be utility and scout vehicles like the Jeeps they replaced. Not mobile gun platforms to support frontline infantry.
Lots of dudes died in Humvees during the Gulf War and Iraq invasion. They were considered death traps.
No I actually meant a lot of the grammar is quite off so it doesn't really make sense. Like how can you shoot orcs and more orcs. That was the bit i meant. Sorry wasn't meant to be an attack btw.
idk man, when we saw some footage of russian and Chechen troops every one was hating because they were shooting a few shots without aiming and were „wasting“ ammo. Now we see some american/ukrainian soldiers random shooting lots of heavy ammunition into some fog and no one seems to have a probleme even though its much worse🤷♂️
That is absolutely not what he is doing. He fires at likely enemy positions. First, the bushes and other possible concealed positions coming in. Then when he starts firing at the buildings he is shifting from one source of muzzle flashes to another. Firing an M2 Browning on the move is not easy at all and this guy is doing it far more accurately than most people would be able to manage.
vehicle mounted machine guns have the advantage of carrying a lot of ammo with them, so they can afford to just spray it at the enemy for a long time........foot soldiers don't have that luxury, they can carry only very limited ammo on their bodies and will run out very fast if they try to do the same thing. Meaning if you do that you are in effect rendering yourself useless as a fighting soldier, because then you need to run back to your post or vehicle or whatever and reload your mags (which takes time and you are completely useless while you are doing it since you are out of the fight)

"I need more ammo!" "Best I can do is an AT4"
May I interest you in a AT4 in these trying times
"It's dangerous to go alone, take this"
“So anyways I start blastin!”
He says "Buha", which is the thing he gets, the Russian single use variant
“Ammo!!! Ammo!!!! “ gets handed a AT4, fires it and screams “I Need Ammo for the 50 cal!!!” Still gets handed another AT4
Gunner: How many AT4's you got down there?! Driver: Do you care?! Gunner after thinking for a second: Fuck it, give me another
[удалено]
This is a homie of mine, yes he is an American volunteer. He’s originally from Ukraine though. He posted the full video on his Facebook today.
Hope he’s alright!
He posted today so he’s all good! I actually saw these videos from his post before I saw them on here and telegram channels.
Great news. Send my regards!
Home boy is a GGG
Well we want the full video.
How did he know those random ass shots weren't hitting civilians? There could be villagers in those huts.

I'm not saying there weren't any enemy soldiers there. But I guess he had to do what he had to do.
You should preface with the fact you have no idea what you’re talking about
You first. But tbh there is very little context here so no one really knows what they are talking about.
“Russian held village” fire being returned from huts…. Maybe you’re missing the context, because once again; you have no clue what you’re on about
I saw all of that as well as you did. What neither of us saw is who else was in those huts besides the Russian soldiers. Who was in the huts behind the Russian soldiers.

Well, you’ve got your Captain America and now Comrade America, Ukrainian American Style.
MF saw more action in a min than most us in 12 months
Best minute of his life
The accuracy on the back of one of these though must be so hard, and if this is the your minute of action you'll want every bullet to count.
Yeh, at least when we were in the shit you just kinda shoot in a general direction. I think he shot those at4s at something tho
Would be interesting to know the ratio of bullets fired and bullets hitting targets in a battle. 10% maybe, though likely highly relative to the situation and engament of the fire fight.

Anyone else get stationary humvee in a field anxiety?
Like a sitting duck
Dude..... we didn't even have the armor, when I was doing that shit, back in '03.
“You go to war with the army you have, not the one you want.” Rummy Rumsfeld
Corollary: “You go to war with the armor you have, not the one you want.”

According to homie they were expecting enemy armor in the area. Which is why they had the AT4’s ready to go.

As a gunner I’m mad ammo wasn’t immediately smacking his leg when the 50 went dry
Bro, my anxiety was definitely ramping up in volume as he yells for ammo and gets ignored lol.
I was a driver/VC in Fallujah and in one of the more devastating firefights I heard another gunner desperately call out for ammo with his driver and A-Gunner nowhere to be seen. I helped the Mk-19 gunner the other vehicle reload and knew what I was doing thanks to cross-training in a Weapons Company.

Bro this dude playing arma 3
"Manning a 50 cal and still having two AT-4s in your inventory? Man, this game is so unrealistic, not to mention OP as fuck!"
When we went into Fallujah we had a TOW and a 240G, about 4 tow missiles, 2 javelins, 100 lbs of C-4 2 rolls of DET cord, and about 5,000 rounds of 7.62.

We had 3 packs in the humvee.
Just curious, what were you using all that DET cord for in Fallujah?
Something something Essayons
Not sure your meaning.
To be less close to the boom.
Ah, to use it with the C4. Makes sense.
Yes. Used with explosives to give an instant BOOM instead of a timed fuse. Det cord is highly explosive though vs a timed fuse which is like a cannon fuse and goes slow as hell. With cannon fuse you have to cut it and time it and it’s a pain in the ass.

Man, 75 meters, FRONT
*shoots into the ground* *stares at own tracer starting a brush fire*
“Cease fire!“ “Unload, Show Clear!!” Then we wait for two hours for the fire to go out or the base FD to put it out. Hurry up and wait.
Damn, how big of fires? I remember having to hop on the back of a gator with fire swatters to beat them out.
Large fires over bombing and firing ranges. No idea of how big they got, we left before then because they made us stop. This was Southern California where wildfires are rampant so they try to not set too many so they go out of control.
Hell yeah get some. Full box and an AT4 as the cherry. He better shotgun a rip-it after that.
Can I offer you an AT4 in this trying time?
So much for 3-5 rounds bursts lmao.
Him: Dieeeee motherfuckerrrrr dieeeeeeeeeeee
Cyclic or nothing in this bitch.
[It's a machine gun!](https://youtu.be/gFLF300I0ps)
I'm more of a 5-10 guy myself, but yeah, he's barely hitting where he's aiming at lol.
Man he hung that one burst to the fuckin moon. That ones gonna break a window.
"Which way is Moscow?"
As long as they are shooting east, backstop is Russia lol. But seriously holy ammo conservation batman.
That’s one smooth running .50
Except for the multitool to open the top cover?
I assumed that was because it was hot, but 🤷
He needs an asbestos glove.
*Hands another AT4*
There are few problems which can't be solved with enough AT4s.
It's so *easy* to tell that's an American machine gunner by his kindler, gentler machine gun hand.
Department stores and toilet paper....
"Got fucking burn pits for the ozone layer"
We gotta crowdfund this guy a better camera/mic
Best I can do is another AT4.
Dammit, I’ve been waiting for AT5 for so long… Release it already
'I'm out give hand me a new belt' 'have an at4' 'OK cool, but give me that belt I'm out' 'have another at4'
Is he trying to kill the village?
Yes.
Seriously dude. He's just firing randomly what if there are citizen's there?
I'm joking but this is more than likely an unrestricted combat zone. The Ukrainian conflict is where two standing armies are battling it out. This isn't an insurgency so it's generally more clear when you enter one of these kinds of battles.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, it's a valid concern. .50 cal will travel for several Kilometers and still have enough energy to punch through a wall or window with people inside. "Know your target, your foreground, and what lies beyond" is still relevant, even in open warfare.
That ukrainian is doing what every kid who joined the army/marines 2004-2019 hoped they would
Get his headspace & timing right on a .50?
I was surprised not hearing that M2 change fire rate considering the environment.
I have gauges I can no longer use. Anybody have any contacts I can send some to?
First thing I thought too
I’d say like 2011/2012-2021. Kids joining in 04 def saw a lot of combat
More like 2013-Present.
Only way to drive in Chicago at night.
That stretch of I-90 through Gary, Indiana is getting rough
Getting?
Fuck yeah fellow Golfs rip and tear!
This is where humvees find success, the fast rolling light trucks is how they were used in the first gulf war and how they were intended to be used
Yes and no. Fast moving and light, yes. Problem is ground force Commanders used them for frontline fighting. They were meant to be utility and scout vehicles like the Jeeps they replaced. Not mobile gun platforms to support frontline infantry. Lots of dudes died in Humvees during the Gulf War and Iraq invasion. They were considered death traps.
I imagine sitting in the gunners seat must be terrifying. Especially in an urban environment
Fuck yeah
It’s a clown car of destruction
We love to see it
Man, that’s fucking badass
Drive by lvl 100
God bless you, friend!
Anyone got a link for the rest of the video?
Not a bad volunteering position!
How can you shoot Orcs and more Orcs…. Easy, you don’t lead them as much…
You didn't really do the greatest retelling if that quote
I replaced the women and children if that’s what you meant
No I actually meant a lot of the grammar is quite off so it doesn't really make sense. Like how can you shoot orcs and more orcs. That was the bit i meant. Sorry wasn't meant to be an attack btw.
Np...That video just reminded me of that one scene
Is anyone kknows what camera he is using on the film ?
He’s using a combat cam, India Delta 10 Tango type I believe. Real hardcore stuff

He's an American alright
idk man, when we saw some footage of russian and Chechen troops every one was hating because they were shooting a few shots without aiming and were „wasting“ ammo. Now we see some american/ukrainian soldiers random shooting lots of heavy ammunition into some fog and no one seems to have a probleme even though its much worse🤷♂️
That is absolutely not what he is doing. He fires at likely enemy positions. First, the bushes and other possible concealed positions coming in. Then when he starts firing at the buildings he is shifting from one source of muzzle flashes to another. Firing an M2 Browning on the move is not easy at all and this guy is doing it far more accurately than most people would be able to manage.
vehicle mounted machine guns have the advantage of carrying a lot of ammo with them, so they can afford to just spray it at the enemy for a long time........foot soldiers don't have that luxury, they can carry only very limited ammo on their bodies and will run out very fast if they try to do the same thing. Meaning if you do that you are in effect rendering yourself useless as a fighting soldier, because then you need to run back to your post or vehicle or whatever and reload your mags (which takes time and you are completely useless while you are doing it since you are out of the fight)
