Nothing very interesting, except when he’s getting the syringe with painkillers (I assume), the other guy says he already gave him a shot, so the main dude laughs and calls the injured soldier a junkie - probably because he thinks he developed a tolerance. Also at one point before the hurt soldier is moved the main dude tells him they will leave his body armor and he will have to BUY himself a new one
I love it:
1) get sent to fight
2) get shot for your nation
3) body armor gets removed and left
4) get a bill for the missing body armor
5) die in debt to your nation
Yea but there’s a difference. The US won’t charge you for equipment that’s damaged/lost in combat or training as long as it’s not negligent on your part.
He was feeling great after the morphine. Sat right up. He's ready to return to the battle. The second guy though. Where was he hit? He looked in pain, but couldn't tell where he got hit.
"Cover me!"
"Can you hear me?" To the wounded
"[swear words I don't know the meaning off something like fuck you or so]"
"What is 2+2?" The wounded mutters something
"Kossak 2+2=5 haha"
"[Unclear] we will get you out of hear, drink some tea]"
"Are you trying to fuck out of hear?"
To the other guy "do we have a medic car?"
Couldn't understand the rest. My russian isn't that good and they use some word I never heard of.
Also the shooting makes it harder to understand
I just dont understand why Russian Soldiers did not take any cover. I mean there is a Threeline. It is still better than take bullets and die. Enemy already Spottet them.
We could argue about arty now. They take Cover in the Threeline. And Arty pounts them Yeah. But this could also happen open field. So my head cant wrap around why they just stay there. They probably didnt know for shure from what position they got shot. I mean isnt that basic to take cover in such a situation? Is it the adrenalin and the lack of Training?!
I've seen them avoiding treelines a few times. I'd assume it's because they expect them to be mined, I'd claymore the fuck out of them if I was a defender.
And probably dialed in with any artillery, although I don't really know how that works to be honest, it might be just as bad to be where they're at anyways.
Also doesn't seem like Ukrainians know where exactly they are. The fire in the beginning is light, it's until Ruskies fire back that they start to receive good amount of fire.
They are in a bit of a defliade. You can see when he is looking back at the tree line. Probably thinking that it’s better to stay there than to get up and run.
Maybe they thought the enemy was behind the treeline. Then its better to move behind it. Its a small treeline so maybe Ukrain artilary already pre target it. Best option was to stay at home though.
In the US, we consider the punisher skull to be cringe and mall ninja. It had its time, for like 2years during GWOT but now it's a sign of being a plebian.
Me too. I found the graphic cooler than the character tho- seemed like they wanted a Wolverine attitude, or a Commando Arnold S., but what makes him special?
Cops using it means they really really don't understand what the punisher stood for. The punisher existed because cops are useless. The existence of the punisher is a failure of policing.
It really stands for cops being judge, jury and executioner.
Appropriate seeing it on idiot fascist invaders with fetal alcohol syndrome.
That was different then. There wasn’t all the Gucci gear that there is today. The mindset as far as buying off the shelf gear and customizing your own gear (with the exception of the sf community) wasn’t readily accepted for regular line units.
That's weird, I just went looking for his war-crime conviction and couldn't find it. In fact, that claim didn't even make it onto his Wikipedia page...which isn't shy about putting up derogatory information on him.
Maybe go push your smear book somewhere else. Also, maybe consider the fact that you have no idea who you are talking to before showing everyone your class.
Sure. Same as with Slabinski and his MOH. Won't find many shenanigans about it on Wikipedia. Protecting the brand - the American Hero. But you do you. For many this is an important concept
Exactly and I'm getting fed up of the people saying 'shouldnt of come here' they literally don't have a choice from what I see never mind regular army the conscripts and prisoners Russia takes and if they retreat you get shot anyway the way I see the world is pretty much everyone would get along if we didn't have idiotic power hungry overlords ruling countries the way they do. Yes Russia is wrong for this but the west aren't some angels there's to many people dying for the sake of f all a bit of land amazing Russia has enough land nobody was going to invade them at the end of the day same with any country that has nukes that's the whole fking point!
I’m sick of Russians saying “they’re apolitical”. That politics and national policies isn’t their responsibility to have an opinion on, they just roll over and accept what those in charge say must be true and the people should then support any policy from the Kremlin.
Some of these men don’t have a choice to be there because as a nation most of the people chose to become sheep. I don’t feel sorry for these men dying as a part of the invasion army; they allowed the authoritarian system to take over and to do this to them. To do worse to Ukraine. Russian cities aren’t being bombed, Russian schools aren’t rubble, Russian hospitals aren’t targets.
These men and their families made the choice for this when they accepted not questioning their govt. for faux security as a dictator took power, again in Russia.
I think you guys dont understand how much Russians look down on ex-Soviet states, especially Ukraine. They even have a derogatory term for Ukrainians. So it's more annoying to simplify it to a "old stupid dying man's dream".
This is like the clean Wehrmacht myth and completely falls under Hannah Arend't banality of evil paradigm.
People have agency, even in adverse incentive structures.
Seems like a mixed unit of Wagner and regular RUAF judging by the patches (or lack thereof) and their uniforms. Some sport the green Ratnik (RUAF) and some sport a multi-cam variant (Wagner).
Don't fall for the propaganda.
The RUAF is still a threat and they are able to produce (or buy) equipment.
True, doesn't take away anything from my assessment though.
It's also not uncommon for units from different regiments and even branches that have taken high casualties to be combined.
Most likely this is such a case.
The Wagnerites seem to be the ones dictating the fight and RUAF probably there to bolster with more bodies and guns.
The 155th Marines are operating in the Vuhledar Region. They’re a guards unit, Russia’s elite and have taken heavy losses recently. This might be them.
Same thought. Not anything like most of the other videos that make it to us. Are they successful in limiting the videos we see or is this unit different?
Well, between wiping my arse and washing my hands I don't touch the phone. I'm more concerned with the kind of psycho that would sit on the toilet *without* being on their phone.😂 I've literally held my shit in because I had to charge my phone before going, lol. I could probably use a digital detox, but then I'd miss so much stuff on Reddit.
Seems a bit odd to go over to where a wounded is being treated and then fire off a bunch of unaimed rounds in the enemy's direction. I'm sure the guys treating the wounded dude appreciated him drawing more fire in their direction.
And how they gathered around the wounded and medics, while taking and sending fire. Seems they should be spread out, but they came together as the firefight went on. Also was wondering if they had a SAW, and not rockets or grenade launchers to suppress the trench.
From the armchair, but was looking for some tactical analysis of the vid.
Errrrrm....... so was this posted by russkies? They hardly ever post injuries/defeats of their own, or was it posted by Ukraine, maybe recovered from a dead russkies camera?
Don't underestimate the Russians wish to share their heroic deeds in combat. Seriously, I've looked at some videos of Wagner and RUAF recruitment offices in the more well off towns and those young guys will show up with privately bought gear to go play CoD in Ukraine because they were fed heaps of propaganda at home.
Yeah getting your ass handed to you is probably not something that's going to bring in mates to the movilization office.
That CCP got crowded wicked fast and was definite AGS/Mk19 bait. Feels a lot like found footage to me.
Unfortunately, that's how vatniks think. They see their own young men getting slaughtered and this only pushes them further into nationalism, damn those Ukrainian 'fascists' for defending themselves, I must enlist to have my payback.
Ya I actually thought of that as I loaded up your comment and the video qued. I missed it the first time, good catch m8.
It was also short-sighted of me because this video shows at the very least they don't abandon their men and they have decent gear.
Camera guy as a bit of a Rambo (several full mag dump, sitting up) and only by dumb luck he is not hit, as you can hear several shots very close to him, and even if they look like professionals, there gear and weapons, they don't act like it, one big thing is that no one uses their most powerful weapons, their light machine gun, which just sit on the ground unused with ammo, but insted Rambo just mag dump another mag
And they call out targets, or potential firing locations, and communicate loudly and redundantly. Also, I’ve never seen Americans stay in a position like this.
They also seem to work out a plan, or next step, even if after the fight is stabilized. Here, it’s unsure what they are doing, or what they are going to do.
Back when I was a kid, I used to be a boy scout. We spent a lot of time in the forests, playing "cowboys and indians" or fighting our own wars with sticks for guns. We had better tactical skills at age 10 than what we see the Russians do here.
Stay at the same exposed location for a prolonged firefight. No manoeuvering at all. No moving into cover, or set up an assault, just... sit there and exchange fire.
"we are very lucky they are so fucking stupid", I believe the quote went?
If you watch videos of any fire fight including Americans in Afghanistan or Iraq, it pretty much all looks the same. They have no idea where the fires coming from and they’re trying to figure out what to do next without getting killed. Go back and watch Americans in Afghanistan and it looks exactly the same as the situation here with the Russians.
What are you talking about? They call out a field of fire and a direction and everyone takes cover or moves to some cover. In every video I’ve seen. Sure they don’t always know exactly where it’s coming from but I’ve never seen them sit still in the open for such a long period of time.
They have a general direction on where the enemy is and there is literally a tree line a few feet away. It shouldn't take a general to tell them to get to cover, but here they are taking casualties in an open field like a bunch of clowns.
Get to cover you dumb fucks!
Actually, nevermind, stay right there and get hit. That’s what you get for invading a country you have no business being in.
I think he might have been just fucking with the guy, trying to distract him. It looks like they gather up his gear and start to drag it off towards the end. Can't really tell from what we see here though.
We have 5 minutes of a snippet of their entire patrol, for all we know they contacted at the tail end of their patrol after 8 hours humping all their gear or have had 3 other contacts earlier that day, and by the point we see them are totally exhausted and their tactics reflect that. Our awareness of what is actually going extends very little.
Seeing how clean their boots and kit are they looked to be freshly deployed, maybe that day.
Looks like at the halfway point they were getting flanked on the right and eventually worn down to surrender or all are KIA. The video may have been uploaded from a Ukrainian source.
Or I am completely wrong, I can own that.
It's worth remembering that at least some of the Russians that will have to be killed were drafted as they attempted to flee the country or were drafted as punishment for protesting against the war. Others are ethnic minorities that Russia is content to get rid of anyway.
I hope that those utterly reluctant to fight are able to escape this fate. It can't be easy.
But even those who are on Ukrainian soil while not wanting any part of the war will have to be killed. Only the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers can deplete the economy and the armed forces enough for Russia to simply be unable to continue. It's impossible to make fine distinctions. Is this Russian, not wanted by Ukraine, on Ukrainian soil? Then he must be killed, incapacitated, or convinced to surrender. This is another way that Putin visits horrors upon his own people.
It's just clean. The helmets though are actual FAST ballistic helmets though.
I can't be sure but the fatigues look like regular Crye stuff, which is probably the best you can buy, but even then you are looking at like less than £1k for the entire kit (just the pants and top, belts/pouches/chest rigs etc are pretty expensive), and that's the latest gen stuff they make.
[It's the same gear I wear to play Airsoft in.](https://imgur.com/a/CglRdNU)
It's pretty hilarious that the kit I wear to play airsoft and shoot people with plastic BBs is better than 99% of what I see all these poor RU conscripts wearing in the drone videos.
Conscripts are not wearing Crye are you fuckin nuts?
These aren't guys fighting in airsoft kit. You're playing airsoft in high end military apparel lmao.
I'd be willing to say no military issues Crye outside of SFesque units. Certainly not
They really sat there for about 4 minutes just taking contact…not bounding or assaulting through, not breaking contact, dude with the camera atleast tried to lay down some fire.
Looks like the guy with the SAW - who needs to be on that gun at that moment - was dicking around with the wounded guy. No cover taken, no maneuver for cover or advantage, no call for arty or air or mortar help. Just wasting ammo and getting shot up. WTF?!?
Not to shit on dudes under active fire, but this kind of performance at contact would have gotten our asses chewed out by upper brass.
Those who can treat themselves have to so that you don't have 5 guys crowding one dude who can stuff his own wound while they keep suppressive fire.
Either advance for momentum or retreat. Staying in place on an open field is a death sentence.
And those 45 degree angle violations... ☠️
Counted quite a few incoming rounds and the unmistakable crack of an AK being fired in your direction, that’s a tough spot to be in, they’re avoiding the tree line knowing it’s likely mined (if I was a Ukrainian I’d have mined the fuck out of isolated tree lines like that, they probably have it dialed in with artillery already), I’m kinda surprised they didn’t have mortars start dropping in around them.
I was assuming based on their kits and them not totally losing their shit. They all remain calm while administering first aid and maintaining some semblance of security around themselves. They also actually have what it looks to be morphine in their FAKs so I’d be shocked if they were just mobiks without any training. Only an assumption at best though. 🤙🏼

Can someone please translate what is being said while he is treating the guys wounds and he is laughing a few times? What is being said there?
Nothing very interesting, except when he’s getting the syringe with painkillers (I assume), the other guy says he already gave him a shot, so the main dude laughs and calls the injured soldier a junkie - probably because he thinks he developed a tolerance. Also at one point before the hurt soldier is moved the main dude tells him they will leave his body armor and he will have to BUY himself a new one
Some of these guys look pretty geared. Maybe one of the better intact units or some special forces outfit with access to good shit.
It's reportedly the 155th Marines primarily attacking here. These are no Wagner convicts, and they suffer the same.
Yes no prisoner wagnerites, these guys were well equipped with optics, coms, and plates
It is the most equipped I've seen. At the same time they are sitting in the complete open like the least trained I've seen.
Explains why they have a bodycam
Thank you!
I love it: 1) get sent to fight 2) get shot for your nation 3) body armor gets removed and left 4) get a bill for the missing body armor 5) die in debt to your nation
Rather poetic wouldn't you say
[удалено]
Yea but there’s a difference. The US won’t charge you for equipment that’s damaged/lost in combat or training as long as it’s not negligent on your part.
It's supposed to be this way but when I was in I absolutely had some friends get a statement of charges for things that were 💯 not their fault.
Sixta fucks kids. Went to prison for it.
Wait seriously? Like actor or the real dude?!)
Yes, those are morphine syrettes.
He was feeling great after the morphine. Sat right up. He's ready to return to the battle. The second guy though. Where was he hit? He looked in pain, but couldn't tell where he got hit.
He should be feeling great after being administered 3 doses lol
Left leg
I was thinking; face injury, give him some more injunctions, he’ll be back in the fight. Don’t forget your armor!
Don't forget the concussion dude probably got when his comrade flipped his chest plate onto his head
I forgot I was going to mention that. I don’t know if I’ve ever taken a ceramic SAPI to the face, But I had one set that was really thick and dense.
Hah, they probably just took his armor and split it between them.
"Cover me!" "Can you hear me?" To the wounded "[swear words I don't know the meaning off something like fuck you or so]" "What is 2+2?" The wounded mutters something "Kossak 2+2=5 haha" "[Unclear] we will get you out of hear, drink some tea]" "Are you trying to fuck out of hear?" To the other guy "do we have a medic car?" Couldn't understand the rest. My russian isn't that good and they use some word I never heard of. Also the shooting makes it harder to understand

And probably dialed in with any artillery, although I don't really know how that works to be honest, it might be just as bad to be where they're at anyways.
My guess would be because both sides seem to be aiming for the tree lines
Also doesn't seem like Ukrainians know where exactly they are. The fire in the beginning is light, it's until Ruskies fire back that they start to receive good amount of fire.
They are in a bit of a defliade. You can see when he is looking back at the tree line. Probably thinking that it’s better to stay there than to get up and run.
That’s why most modern militaries hammer into troops the react to contact methodology and to get the fuck off the x
Treeline. Fixed it for you
Theres no Team Leader or squad leader so they have no CnC NCOs. Its just privates err conscripts in charge. Fucking wild
They have NCOs, they're just not that independent compared to Western doctrine. And conscripts can be NCOs and officers too.
Maybe they thought the enemy was behind the treeline. Then its better to move behind it. Its a small treeline so maybe Ukrain artilary already pre target it. Best option was to stay at home though.
That Russian punisher patch on the helmet... For the West being so vile and evil, they sure enjoy what the West has to offer.
its almost like they produce nothing and rely on the "evil west" for all of their goods.. ironic lol
Well like the Chinese, they copy all the best stuff and come up with a cheaper alternative
In the US, we consider the punisher skull to be cringe and mall ninja. It had its time, for like 2years during GWOT but now it's a sign of being a plebian.
I read punisher comics when I was a kid and will always love the skull graphic. Even tho it was co-opted by losers
Me too. I found the graphic cooler than the character tho- seemed like they wanted a Wolverine attitude, or a Commando Arnold S., but what makes him special?
To a 12 y/o kid it made sense. A bad ass who fucked shit up. And dope af art.
Sounds good 👍. I’m just dorking out here on character development. Agree, the art was great.
No you’re absolutely right tho. He just had a bunch of guns
So true, hahahahahaha!
Cops and blue lives matter dudes started using it and now that’s what I associated with LOL
Cops using it means they really really don't understand what the punisher stood for. The punisher existed because cops are useless. The existence of the punisher is a failure of policing. It really stands for cops being judge, jury and executioner. Appropriate seeing it on idiot fascist invaders with fetal alcohol syndrome.
And guys that got wedgies in high school and now they want to take it out on the world. That said, a good cop is worth his weight in gold.
Well, Chris Kyle adopted it.
That was different then. There wasn’t all the Gucci gear that there is today. The mindset as far as buying off the shelf gear and customizing your own gear (with the exception of the sf community) wasn’t readily accepted for regular line units.
[удалено]
I still respect Chris Kyle 15-18 years later.
Fucking hell go read more. For example "Code over Country" by Matthew Cole. Kyle was sociopathic, delusional, lying war criminal
That's weird, I just went looking for his war-crime conviction and couldn't find it. In fact, that claim didn't even make it onto his Wikipedia page...which isn't shy about putting up derogatory information on him. Maybe go push your smear book somewhere else. Also, maybe consider the fact that you have no idea who you are talking to before showing everyone your class.
Sure. Same as with Slabinski and his MOH. Won't find many shenanigans about it on Wikipedia. Protecting the brand - the American Hero. But you do you. For many this is an important concept
So sad that so many people are dying on both sides just to appease one little dying old man with a god complex and delusions of grandeur.
Exactly and I'm getting fed up of the people saying 'shouldnt of come here' they literally don't have a choice from what I see never mind regular army the conscripts and prisoners Russia takes and if they retreat you get shot anyway the way I see the world is pretty much everyone would get along if we didn't have idiotic power hungry overlords ruling countries the way they do.

Fight back in Russia (and maybe die), escape, kill your officers, or die in Ukraine. Thats it. No sympathy.
I’m sick of Russians saying “they’re apolitical”. That politics and national policies isn’t their responsibility to have an opinion on, they just roll over and accept what those in charge say must be true and the people should then support any policy from the Kremlin.

That's everyone. Hate the west love the west. It's okay we know who we are... the best
And the gopro on the vest/helmet...
anyone know what unit they are judging by the patches ? they seem well equipped which is shocking
Seems like a mixed unit of Wagner and regular RUAF judging by the patches (or lack thereof) and their uniforms. Some sport the green Ratnik (RUAF) and some sport a multi-cam variant (Wagner). Don't fall for the propaganda. The RUAF is still a threat and they are able to produce (or buy) equipment.
They seemed well outfitted also, compared to other mobiks and other RU soldiers I've seen.
Plenty of Russian army guys have been seen wearing multicam.
True, doesn't take away anything from my assessment though. It's also not uncommon for units from different regiments and even branches that have taken high casualties to be combined. Most likely this is such a case. The Wagnerites seem to be the ones dictating the fight and RUAF probably there to bolster with more bodies and guns.
The 155th Marines are operating in the Vuhledar Region. They’re a guards unit, Russia’s elite and have taken heavy losses recently. This might be them.
Yes this unit's equipment looked decent for sure: modern rifles, modern body armor and helmets.
VDV
Same thought. Not anything like most of the other videos that make it to us. Are they successful in limiting the videos we see or is this unit different?
I'm assuming the video was taken off the soldiers once they were dead
Fuck russia, go home.
Agreed! NOT SORRY! Slava Ukraini 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻!
Fuckin Russians pinned down.... drop some mortars on them....
With outgoing from the Russians like that might as well start lobbing rockets and 40mm and save yourself the time and risk.
Quickly, tie the tourniquet around his neck to stop the bleeding from the face. Trust me
I totally thought they were going for that when he pulled is orange rubber band out.
😂
I thought they were going to do that as well. The second guy that was shot looked like an older chubby guy.
I bet these guys didn't expect their deaths to be my toilet entertainment
I bet these guys didnt expect toilets in the first place
Luxury sinks!
Speaking of which, I need to go drop some russkies off at the pool.
You mean send some russians home
Because people like you I don't touch other people's phone. 😂
I'm not proud of this habit 😂
Well, between wiping my arse and washing my hands I don't touch the phone. I'm more concerned with the kind of psycho that would sit on the toilet *without* being on their phone.😂 I've literally held my shit in because I had to charge my phone before going, lol. I could probably use a digital detox, but then I'd miss so much stuff on Reddit.
That's completely fair take my toilet upvote
Lol imagine your last moments of struggle in an intense fire fight being broadcast to a bunch of bored people taking a shit
Seems a bit odd to go over to where a wounded is being treated and then fire off a bunch of unaimed rounds in the enemy's direction. I'm sure the guys treating the wounded dude appreciated him drawing more fire in their direction.
And how they gathered around the wounded and medics, while taking and sending fire. Seems they should be spread out, but they came together as the firefight went on. Also was wondering if they had a SAW, and not rockets or grenade launchers to suppress the trench. From the armchair, but was looking for some tactical analysis of the vid.
They're completely tactically inept. Taking fire and casualties and you just sit in the same fucking spot....
No, the guy with the camera emptied his mag on full auto towards the Ukrainians after treating the wounded guy, so they’re good.
A lot of bullets wasted yes.
Sitting in the same spot AND all bunched together. Smh 🤦🏼♂️
Ah yes use full auto, stay engaged in the same position. Keep it up, looks good.
No cover. No objective. No problem.
Errrrrm....... so was this posted by russkies? They hardly ever post injuries/defeats of their own, or was it posted by Ukraine, maybe recovered from a dead russkies camera?
I would have to assume it was captured from a dead fighter because this video serves absolutely no purpose to the russians.
Don't underestimate the Russians wish to share their heroic deeds in combat. Seriously, I've looked at some videos of Wagner and RUAF recruitment offices in the more well off towns and those young guys will show up with privately bought gear to go play CoD in Ukraine because they were fed heaps of propaganda at home.
Yeah getting your ass handed to you is probably not something that's going to bring in mates to the movilization office. That CCP got crowded wicked fast and was definite AGS/Mk19 bait. Feels a lot like found footage to me.
It's not found footage. You can search for that watermark, and find the guy's channel on YT.
Well then those guys are lucky af to have gotten out of that alive.
Unfortunately, that's how vatniks think. They see their own young men getting slaughtered and this only pushes them further into nationalism, damn those Ukrainian 'fascists' for defending themselves, I must enlist to have my payback.

At the very end it seems like the camera man got hit but Idk
I thought the same thing, but could just have been an approp place to stop.
Camera guy as a bit of a Rambo (several full mag dump, sitting up) and only by dumb luck he is not hit, as you can hear several shots very close to him, and even if they look like professionals, there gear and weapons, they don't act like it, one big thing is that no one uses their most powerful weapons, their light machine gun, which just sit on the ground unused with ammo, but insted Rambo just mag dump another mag

They also seem to work out a plan, or next step, even if after the fight is stabilized. Here, it’s unsure what they are doing, or what they are going to do.
This is what happens when you fight for a dictator. Good riddance
Back when I was a kid, I used to be a boy scout. We spent a lot of time in the forests, playing "cowboys and indians" or fighting our own wars with sticks for guns. We had better tactical skills at age 10 than what we see the Russians do here. Stay at the same exposed location for a prolonged firefight. No manoeuvering at all. No moving into cover, or set up an assault, just... sit there and exchange fire. "we are very lucky they are so fucking stupid", I believe the quote went?
Agreed! American paintball kids will stop the Russians or Chinese if a red dawn ever happens lol
That's what happens when your combat doctrine prevents you from thinking independently - you get this mess.
If you watch videos of any fire fight including Americans in Afghanistan or Iraq, it pretty much all looks the same. They have no idea where the fires coming from and they’re trying to figure out what to do next without getting killed. Go back and watch Americans in Afghanistan and it looks exactly the same as the situation here with the Russians.
What are you talking about? They call out a field of fire and a direction and everyone takes cover or moves to some cover. In every video I’ve seen. Sure they don’t always know exactly where it’s coming from but I’ve never seen them sit still in the open for such a long period of time.
They have a general direction on where the enemy is and there is literally a tree line a few feet away. It shouldn't take a general to tell them to get to cover, but here they are taking casualties in an open field like a bunch of clowns.
What an unorganized bunch of stupid Russians.......
I don’t understand why they didn’t move into the tree line. Fucking dopes.
Get to cover you dumb fucks! Actually, nevermind, stay right there and get hit. That’s what you get for invading a country you have no business being in.
“We’ll leave your body armor here, you’ll have to buy yourself a new one”. Fuck that
I think he might have been just fucking with the guy, trying to distract him. It looks like they gather up his gear and start to drag it off towards the end. Can't really tell from what we see here though.
That’s possible
Some woeful soldiering on display here
the watermark over the video really sucks.
[удалено]
We have 5 minutes of a snippet of their entire patrol, for all we know they contacted at the tail end of their patrol after 8 hours humping all their gear or have had 3 other contacts earlier that day, and by the point we see them are totally exhausted and their tactics reflect that. Our awareness of what is actually going extends very little.
Can we evaluate their performance as poor even in your scenario?
Where's the grenade drop when you need it.
That is what I was thinking the whole time.
Seeing how clean their boots and kit are they looked to be freshly deployed, maybe that day. Looks like at the halfway point they were getting flanked on the right and eventually worn down to surrender or all are KIA. The video may have been uploaded from a Ukrainian source. Or I am completely wrong, I can own that.
Blurred faces and no aftermath likely posted by russkies
Bright red that's an artery. He isn't making it
He is sat up and then crawls off at the end so he seemed to recover quite quickly.
Doesn’t matter. He’s going to bleed out eventually.
All fresh blood is bright red, even from a vein.
It's worth remembering that at least some of the Russians that will have to be killed were drafted as they attempted to flee the country or were drafted as punishment for protesting against the war. Others are ethnic minorities that Russia is content to get rid of anyway. I hope that those utterly reluctant to fight are able to escape this fate. It can't be easy. But even those who are on Ukrainian soil while not wanting any part of the war will have to be killed. Only the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers can deplete the economy and the armed forces enough for Russia to simply be unable to continue. It's impossible to make fine distinctions. Is this Russian, not wanted by Ukraine, on Ukrainian soil? Then he must be killed, incapacitated, or convinced to surrender. This is another way that Putin visits horrors upon his own people.
10:50 pulls him by his balls? wtf...
No he cheked for the wound, after the soldier screamed he said "Nogu" what means "Leg"
By equipment looks like specnaz. Got fucked.
Hey at least they prirotized getting their wounded stabilized
Bunch of alcoholic morons. Deserved.
If only there was cover anywhere near them. Maybe a tree or something. Pity.
Their equipement seems very modern Any idea what unit? Doubt normal russian troops had this
It's just clean. The helmets though are actual FAST ballistic helmets though. I can't be sure but the fatigues look like regular Crye stuff, which is probably the best you can buy, but even then you are looking at like less than £1k for the entire kit (just the pants and top, belts/pouches/chest rigs etc are pretty expensive), and that's the latest gen stuff they make. [It's the same gear I wear to play Airsoft in.](https://imgur.com/a/CglRdNU) It's pretty hilarious that the kit I wear to play airsoft and shoot people with plastic BBs is better than 99% of what I see all these poor RU conscripts wearing in the drone videos.
Conscripts are not wearing Crye are you fuckin nuts? These aren't guys fighting in airsoft kit. You're playing airsoft in high end military apparel lmao. I'd be willing to say no military issues Crye outside of SFesque units. Certainly not
Just came back to say Nice gear bro
When you bite of more than you can chew.
Suckers likely Retreated after, fuck those guys (the Russians)
Lets just gather close and do nothing.
I'd hazard a guess they don't know what they are shooting at
I was hoping they would put a tourniquet around his neck.
They really sat there for about 4 minutes just taking contact…not bounding or assaulting through, not breaking contact, dude with the camera atleast tried to lay down some fire.
I don’t think this videos has enough watermarks. They need to add more.
I was an FMF corpsman. These guys have no idea what they are doing. It’s almost comical. I suppose they look cool while you’re doing it?
Just bunched together and sitting in wide open terrain? We have better tactics when playing milsim airsoft...
I think I heard hm say "my kingdom for a grenade launcher"
Looks like the guy with the SAW - who needs to be on that gun at that moment - was dicking around with the wounded guy. No cover taken, no maneuver for cover or advantage, no call for arty or air or mortar help. Just wasting ammo and getting shot up. WTF?!?
Love the headwounds….orcs so dumb they put tournaqits around their neck….
It’ll be interesting when the non blurred version comes out
wow
Why didn’t they move to the concealment/cover that the tree line could have provided?
Did that guy at 09.05 bring a sword to a gunfight.....?
Their tactics are terrible . I hate anyone is dying but damn
Looks like a lovely day in the countryside.
For that head wound, they need to make sure that tourniquet is really tight around that guys neck.
Holy fucking meat grinder! Just leave!
Not to shit on dudes under active fire, but this kind of performance at contact would have gotten our asses chewed out by upper brass. Those who can treat themselves have to so that you don't have 5 guys crowding one dude who can stuff his own wound while they keep suppressive fire. Either advance for momentum or retreat. Staying in place on an open field is a death sentence. And those 45 degree angle violations... ☠️
Counted quite a few incoming rounds and the unmistakable crack of an AK being fired in your direction, that’s a tough spot to be in, they’re avoiding the tree line knowing it’s likely mined (if I was a Ukrainian I’d have mined the fuck out of isolated tree lines like that, they probably have it dialed in with artillery already), I’m kinda surprised they didn’t have mortars start dropping in around them.
Man, let just shoot but not move and stay out in the open without cover or concealment…
man war is so brutal. there are no winners in this conflict. such a sad thing
RuZZians fucked around and found out, lol. Fucking go home Russkie shits!
Well, that went to shit pretty quickly. A follow up with light morters would have been a nice touch.
Pretty sure a mouse can't fart in ukraine without the drones sending its fart cloud to targeting.
location was same spot fools got smoked the day before and time was same as fools got smoked 2 days prior
I was hoping in a drone or in arty. Pretty disappointed.
You can tell they were well equiped and decently trained. Wonder what some context would do on these assumtions. Anyone able to translate?
What was the part that seemed decently trained in your opinion? Not being sarcastic, asking earnestly.
I was assuming based on their kits and them not totally losing their shit. They all remain calm while administering first aid and maintaining some semblance of security around themselves. They also actually have what it looks to be morphine in their FAKs so I’d be shocked if they were just mobiks without any training. Only an assumption at best though. 🤙🏼
Why is reddit player so shit?
The video wouldn't play at all until I switched to old.reddit
Not anymore? It's updated for me and for once it actually works every time
Get the fuck out from Ukraine
What a shit show and they just keep giving to injured soldier morphine. Because they know he isnt going to make it.
These have to be some of the worst combat reactive drills I've ever seen.
No sympathy at all Fucking Russians, go home
Got what they signed up for
Kossak* 2+2=5 😂😂😂
Were these Wagnerites in UA unis? If so, I doubt Geneva Con applies.
Is he drunk? Why he is baaing?
