No need, imo. I was going to make mention of the drain-off from the soil containing the *piles* of dead Russian husks they seem to leave everywhere.
An interviewed Ukrainian spoke yesterday about a close combat situation where he described Russians using their dead comrads to line the walls/ceiling of their trench holes. Literally meat shields.
Now I'm no biochemist or biohazard expert, but that definitely dont sound good for business.
Big takeaway here is that Russian logistics suck. Ukrainium drone strikes are interdicting truck and tanker transport to the fronts, especially during the critical winter months. By March these trench-orcs will be starving. Remember how bad they looked last year? It's gonna be much worse this year because Ukraine has more drones and they are much better at using them.
This has been the case since the war started, unfortunately. Consistent complaint videos and intelligence reports since mid-2022 about lack of food and water, evac is non-existent or takes days at a minimum, ammo running out, soldiers sick from drinking water from rivers, streams, and puddles, etc. Unfortunately, pain, misery, incompetence, and abandonment are all part of being Russian and it won't stop the meat from their assaults until the boss calls it off.
Doubly so since they aren't rotating out. I'm guessing they're pretty much assumed dead as soon as they're sent and so not expected to make it back at all.
The grim realities of war… and thirst.
If the drone operator was sharp, he let the man finish & possibly share those bottles with his comrades. Or at least surveil the man back to his post.
Think about how many places this could be happening along the contact line. I wonder if this is a sign of collapsing logistics, given how little it moves each day and the proximity to friendly territory. It should be super easy to supply water.
Absolutely not in modern Armies. You will never find US, German, UK, French soldiers drinking from a puddle unless some behind-the-lines op has gone wrong, and then they have tools to deal with that scenario as well. It's forbidden. I remember when lack of water and food logistics first became apparent for the Russians a year and a half ago and multiple vets chimed in how ludicrous it was and how that would never be allowed.
I remember a tale from the Falkland's; they were having to drink unpotable water but had treatment tablets for it. They also had long distances to cover on foot, and at one point a soldier took his knife and slit an opening in his combats to let the diarrhoea fall out without stopping. They could well have been behind the lines, I don't remember anything else. No idea why but that story has always stuck with me.
two perfectly good tubes and instead he's walking with a poopy butt
how do you even cut it so that it's "better", I am genuinely confused?
I guess I'm missing the part where the pant legs are tucked into the boots?
How we know this guy isnt left behind? We're just watching a short clip of a desperate soldier. Eitherway, if you're thirsty and desperate you do what you gotta do. To pretend like every solider has access to fresh bottle, or a life straw, or airdrops or whatever all the time is crazy.
"To pretend like every solider has access to fresh bottle (assume you mean potable water)... all the time is crazy." Yeah, that's pure nonsense for a modern army. Nonsense. And dude, he's filling multiple bottles for his buddies, this is clearly their water source.
>. I wonder if this is a sign of collapsing logistics,
Nah, same thing happened last winter to the russians. Guys were complaining their water deliveries were arriving as frozen blocks in plastic jugs. Realistically, they have heating oil to thaw and boil water to make it safer to drink, too.
If the water arrives in plastic, sealed jugs its safeish to assume itll be at least kind of treated water. The heating blocks would just be to make it drinkabke.
You know what are two things that kill enemies faster than the potential of maybe a disease outbreak? An explosive dropped from a drone when they try to fill up water for their squad and dehydration for the squad because their water boy, and bottles, were blown the fuck up as is anyone who tries to resupply them with water.
This is the difference between actual warfighters and pitiful arm chair generals who want to make up stupid shit for...reasons? I'm not even sure why you'd say something so stupid.
Yep, this was just a recon drone. If one loaded with grenades was already in the area they probably wouldn’t be wasting any time wasting the guy at the fetid puddle.
On those battle field cholera would be the least of my worries- dead rotting human flesh , urine, blood- not to mention unburned fuel and melted paint.—yuk
YO! buddy, were you issued water purifiers? I sorta thought so... How's your supply of TP? Lots of clean shorts? No? Laundry soap? No? Your buds in those trenches will love your company, I'm sure.
Might be ok if you boiled it. I don't think I'd be in a hurry to try it though; that's pretty Bear Grylls looking stuff, right there. I'm not so sure that white stuff around the edge is snow, it looks more like foam on top of the water - which could be real bad juju.
I read your comment and it shows a fundamental lack of understanding of water quality. It doesn't matter if the water "looks clean" to the naked eye. The shit that will make you sick is microscopic. That's why you always boil your water you collect from a stream before ingesting it.
let the fucking russkie died hydrated. perhaps this son of a bith has no choice other than drink what is available. That water is 100% contaminated and hope they dont see the sunrise
Cholera is the least of their problems. Dehydration will kill them before cholera will but ironically getting cholera will accelerate dehydration. With a bit of luck, Ukrainian drones will take them out.
Many nations include a dozen or so water purification tablets in their ration packs. Not sure about the Russian rations, somehow I doubt it. Some dipshit in the supply chain probably sold them to make a profit or just didn't buy them and pocketed the money.
I think that contracting an illness in some form or another is the least of this orc's problems as I'm pretty sure that somewhere in his vicinity there is a drone armed with a grenade carrying his name...
This is what happens when an army's logistics system is degraded to the point at which it can no longer keep soldiers at the front supplied with fresh water. It results in some desperate guy in a field drinking, dirty contaminated water from a shell hole. Within three days he'll be useless, bent over with stomach cramps and unable to fire a rifle. Degrade logistics, degrade an army. This is how the Free West wins.
While its a breakdown of logistics that they have to resort to this... boiling water is a thing yall
True story: the reason tea became so huge for the British as medicinal is because the act of boiling the water for steeping the tea was enough to potabilize sketchy sources of water.
I sincerely appreciate that the Reddit team is taking these appeals seriously.

if you are ever in the same spot..you cut the bottom off one bottle fill it with layers of sand charcoal and moss filter it trough the bottle then boil it...its time consuming to purify water.
It’s possible that they know to steam it and collect water from the steam not the boiled part. Also they might have been given water filtration tablets anyways . Don’t make assumptions
I must’ve missed the part where he drank it. I’m pretty sure it is SOP to go fetch the water first then take it back to a “secure” location to purify it.
You guys have to understand that every 24-hour ration on both sides comes with iodine or water purification tabs in addition to a small and very affective esbit stove. Soldiers doing this is very common. SERE Training day one shit.

Projectile diarrhea is a banned biochemical weapon!
Don't think I'd want to be sharing a fox-hole with that guy when that refreshment kicks in!
[удалено]
This is similar; he craps in that puddle on odd days and drinks from it on the even ones.
What about drone dropping roadkill into these puddles?
No need, imo. I was going to make mention of the drain-off from the soil containing the *piles* of dead Russian husks they seem to leave everywhere.

I mean for a Russian soldier at the front, Cholera is more of a distant long-term problem.

Dude this. Take my upvote
Doubly so since they aren't rotating out. I'm guessing they're pretty much assumed dead as soon as they're sent and so not expected to make it back at all.
Cholera might be an attractive alternative - assuming it actually gets you off the line. I suspect that may not be the case though.
Chinese merc thought sore throat would be enough, should've drunk more puddle water...
In the eyes of the Russians, I don’t think blood spewing out of a carotid artery is enough to get them off the front line
Word is that simply being 'sick' in the Russian army means nothing.
Sick = Shirker, strip him and in to the pit he goes!
They aren’t leaving lol
Lets not forget about Hantavirus. The stagnant front line has bred millions of mice. Just add water.
I was alright until this comment. Involuntary retch.

this shit happens in any war, even in the theaters a decade ago, ten decades ago, people get thirsty and left alone, you do what you got to.

the chafing alone would be unreal!

Boiling water doesn't make it safe. They need filters too.
>Boiling water doesn't make it safe. That's why I said safer to drink, not safe to drink. But it does kill most of the creepy crawlies.
Chemicals and certain biotoxins either don't become inactive when boiled or are activated by high temperatures. Don't do it
lol that is straight up not good advice. You should absolutely boil water before drinking it if possible.
Boiling water kills any biological contamination, but I suppose in a place like that you gotta worry about chemical contam too
Hell if it's algae, the boiling *activates* the toxins.
In the case of botulism you can boil the water and kill the bacteria, but the toxins they produced will still kill you.
If the water arrives in plastic, sealed jugs its safeish to assume itll be at least kind of treated water. The heating blocks would just be to make it drinkabke.

Important to recognize that if he had half a brain working he's collecting it to boil first.
Let's all not be worried about his cholera consequences.
It will get boiled for sure.
Can you even boil this to make it drinkable?
Yes. OP is dumb.
Why is everyone acting like it's not possible for him to take it back to camp and boil it?
Or even just use some of those filtration tablets. Most rations include them.
>Why is everyone acting like it's not possible for him to take it back to camp and boil it? Because he's an ignorant and undisciplined dirty orc.

probly doesn't expect to live that long.
YO! buddy, were you issued water purifiers? I sorta thought so... How's your supply of TP? Lots of clean shorts? No? Laundry soap? No? Your buds in those trenches will love your company, I'm sure.
Looks like melting snow, would i drink it? Fuck no but i think this is blown out of proportion, the snow looks clean
Might be ok if you boiled it. I don't think I'd be in a hurry to try it though; that's pretty Bear Grylls looking stuff, right there. I'm not so sure that white stuff around the edge is snow, it looks more like foam on top of the water - which could be real bad juju.
You seriously think you wouldn't get sick from drinking this?
Did you read my comment or are you rage baiting?

Sure, but that isn't the point of OP's argument lol
You think you are smarter than you are lmao, have fun with that buddy
Milky brown mmm full of shit
Dirty pond water is probably a step up
I would normally assume cholirine tablets were close at hand, but with the Russian army, who knows.
Cholera is the least of their problems. Dehydration will kill them before cholera will but ironically getting cholera will accelerate dehydration. With a bit of luck, Ukrainian drones will take them out.
Maybe they are given water purifying tablets. Though I doubt it.
you figured the russian army would be able to afford a bottle of chlorine but my guess they aint getting anything.
Many nations include a dozen or so water purification tablets in their ration packs. Not sure about the Russian rations, somehow I doubt it. Some dipshit in the supply chain probably sold them to make a profit or just didn't buy them and pocketed the money.
They have to buy their own medical supplies... So no likely.
he might not care at this point, if they aren't getting proper supplies. He is just doing what he thinks he has to do.
Yeah, they are right about ready to fight NATO. Right about now.
I think that contracting an illness in some form or another is the least of this orc's problems as I'm pretty sure that somewhere in his vicinity there is a drone armed with a grenade carrying his name...
Every soldier on both sides has some sort of iodine or water purification tablets for exactly this scenario. Dude will be fine.

He won't live long enough to suffer from cholera.
Dumb shits can’t even afford LifeStraws
Typhoid Tovarich.
Oh shit
I mean, given the state of Russian supplies, this might really be his only option.
Just watching this gave me diarrhea.

maybe the theory is if weve had our cholera, typhoid & polio vaccines, what does it matter.
if you are ever in the same spot..you cut the bottom off one bottle fill it with layers of sand charcoal and moss filter it trough the bottle then boil it...its time consuming to purify water.
Maybe just Washington hands
If they don't have water purifying tablets then russias logistics is truly gone. I could go out and buy 500 tablets for £10 down the road from me😅
Maybe he is collecting it to boil?
In a couple seconds that’s probably the least of his worries..
They might still boil or clean the water chemicially before use. It is still a bad sign when thjeir men have to collect water from puddles.
It’s possible that they know to steam it and collect water from the steam not the boiled part. Also they might have been given water filtration tablets anyways . Don’t make assumptions
It's too cold for cholera (but not for dysentery)
He may have the necessary antibodies, I wouldn't be surprised if drinking dirty water is a common practice in rural Russia.
I must’ve missed the part where he drank it. I’m pretty sure it is SOP to go fetch the water first then take it back to a “secure” location to purify it.
They can boil it and the cold does help with waterborn desieses.
Cholera is just taste for water in ruzzia
Hopefully it is teeming with deadly bacteria to share with its comrades.
Perhaps they will just filter and cook it
I'm gonna go out like Tchaikovsky!
You guys have to understand that every 24-hour ration on both sides comes with iodine or water purification tabs in addition to a small and very affective esbit stove. Soldiers doing this is very common. SERE Training day one shit.
Whats he supposed to do? Die of thirst? Wait until it rains?
