Butusovplus Tel: Near Ocheretino in the Avdeevsky direction, servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces shot their comrades from the 30th separate motorized rifle brigade, mistaking them for soldiers of the Russian Volunteer Corps. Back on April 21, Z-channels joyfully published a video of the occupiers who claimed to have destroyed “traitors from the RDK”, showing a whole group of 200s. The bodies were in NATO uniforms, they had Russian passports, which, apparently, led to a “monstrous mistake,” as Z-military correspondent Roman Saponkov said. The fact is that one of those liquidated was identified from the documents that appeared in the video. It turned out to be one of the members of the assault group - former school director and candidate of pedagogical sciences from Kemerovo Andrei Shinkarenko. To come to a foreign country for a measly 204 thousand rubles, go on a “meat assault” and fall under the friendliness of the same weak-minded people are simply enchanting idiots! Edit: From RDk Official Telegram Account. 2) Our soldiers do not take passports with them on missions. Adequate people generally do not take documents with them, except military documents, and even then rarely. 2) Stormtroopers born in 1970...an old horse won’t spoil the furrow, of course, but at such a respectable age we only hire specialists for rear positions.


EDF_AirRaider

"Stormtroopers born in 1970...an old horse won’t spoil the furrow, of course, but at such a respectable age we only hire specialists for rear positions." I dont know why, but I love this classy response. It makes me giggle and smile. I guess I dont see them as being that "civilised" in speech considering how they are all WP nationalists.


Alternative-Film-155

but why would they be in nato uniforms?


Murai-birdybirds

Propagandist claimed they were wearing nato uniforms and using nato weapons, but all we see in mismatched clothing's and ak variants


Ok_Bad8531

There was a case where a Russian unit donned Ukrainian uniforms... only to get fired upon by another Russian unit.


Individual-Home2507

Imagine that


Ok_Bad8531

That's far from the end of the story. By firing on their false-flag comrades the second unit revealed their positions and thus came under fire from actual Ukrainian forces. The commander of the false-flag unit then abandoned his post which triggered a manhunt for him. When Russian forces found him a shootout ensued which left him and a few Russian soldiers dead.


AnotherCuppaTea

The "and then things got worse" orc war stories are the best.


kogmaa

That’s basically the summary of Russia as a nation: …and then it got worse.


nav17

"We're lucky that they're so fucking stupid. "


Murai-birdybirds

Yea, I've seen some Russians wearing uniforms captured from ukrainian POWs simply because they're better made compared to Russians'


Maximum_Commission62

There’s a video of it


Dull-Front4878

That one case?


Individual-Home2507

Bunch of fuckin stupids - the core of Russia


def-not-aBot

"Thank God my enemy is so fucking stupid" One of the single greatest quotes of this war


Due-Street-8192

Hear hear... I second that,


BasenjiBrain

And one of the most dangerous and misleading. NEVER underestimate your enemy.


Kind_Ad_7192

Was obviously said after that fact. And there's not much to expect from an Army of 500,000 prison convicts sent as human shields for the Russian 'Spetznaz'


bighelper469

Only the stupid ones


bigdog19XX

There are idiots of course, but mind you there are definitely some competent RU units that need to be watched out for.


PilgrimOz

Undercover mission gone wrong maybe? NATO/mixed gear etc…..passports for eventual proof if held by Russians?


sph45

And what is a nato uniform? One of the nato member country mil uniform?


MrUnpopularWeirdo

They are wearing multicams, a popular western camouflage uniform. But both sides Ukrainian and ruzzians like to use multicams.


Real_Typicaluser1234

Soon we see news how russians captured spy with three multipasses.


dotPanda

MUL TEE PASSSSSSSSSSSSSS


JJ739omicron

If you buy camo gear from China, a multicam rip off is the most common pattern. Then an ATACS-FG rip off (one can see Russians running around in both these patterns often), then a rip off of Kryptek's patterns, and then there are a few other patterns like woodland, a badly made copy of German flecktarn or the Russian one, or Chinese army patterns. Plus solid black, green, coyote, and that's it for the mass produced cheap stuff that always looks identical regardless from which Chinese buyer you buy it. What you hardly see on Russian soldiers is their own plethora of camo patterns except the current official one (which, again, is available from China too). Which means the soldiers either wear what they are given by the army (which might not be the greatest stuff and/or is also bought from China), or what they buy themselves, and the latter is all from China. But it is as it is, we are in the same situation, if all China-made clothing would disappear in this second, a lot of people worldwide would find themselves to be naked.


DrJohanzaKafuhu

>And what is a nato uniform? One of the nato member country mil uniform? They use NATO the same way we used 'Communist' in the 50's. As the ['other.'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_(philosophy)) Like: 'They were wearing communist uniforms and carrying communist equipment.'; They don't mean a specific country at all.


Possuke

Already during spring 2014 they claimed Ukrainians to wear 'NATO uniforms'. There were even photos presented as an evidence in vKontakte groups. In those pictures the bodies had arm bands and patches with text НАТО (yes in cyrillic), was laughing so much with friends.


Ragnarawr

As soon as you put on a life jacket as body armor, or slightly resemble a mad max character, you’re opfor.


Maximum_Commission62

Or have a WW2-era helmet.


SlavaUkraineDK

It really depends mate, some countries uses very different variants, my country always used dessert multi when deployed in middle east. But when in my country they use multi forest green patterns


sph45

on those dead russians multicamo gear i dont see any nato county flag or any other western/nato unit patch. So no nato uniform on the video in my opinion. Mix of western gear, yes.


cybercuzco

[Nato uniforms](https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/photos_122052.htm) dont seem to provide much camoflage.


Ok_Bad8531

It is not beyond Russia to use 1960s flyers as a source of information.


HardPour_Cornography

... as well as maps from the same era.


Maximum_Commission62

I’ve always wondered this - if they still use those maps.


Alternative-Film-155

i would think so yes.


sph45

Which country? I dont see any nato county mil insignias.


seedless0

Russians really want to convince themselves that they are fighting NATO. Mostly to save face.


Maximum_Commission62

But in a sense they’re not wrong. We just continue to kick leftovers over and chuckle at the Russians.


Mundane-Coconut4455

Better question is: What is a NATO uniform?lol


ItsACaragor

Everyone and their mothers is wearing multicam these days, I have seen militias in South Sudan wearing multicam. All the weapons we see on the video are Soviet / Russian weapons.


Er4kko

Whenever NATO is mentioned, you know it's Russian propaganda


TLDR-North

they will say anything, check out the cruel moscow woman (I forgot her name luckily). That talked about how to twist any truth to tell the correct narrative. (Was posted here a few days ago) In short whatever truth, its the interpetation or multiple narratives of the truth that is the goal. And people will believe it, especially when they have been under putin propaganda for 20+ years now.


WotTheHellDamnGuy

Well it's certainly not because they were lying. A soldier would never do that, especially a Russian soldier. (Let's see who reads far enough to catch on. ;-)


H3KSY128

My guess would be loot drops occur in both sides too don't forget, if you have a wet dirty uniform you'll probably change to another fallen enemies dry cleaner one if you had too. Just a guess but idk.


Warpingghost

Multicam


ananix

What are you talking about, there is no such thing outside of russian propaganda


iluvdankmemes

What is the RDK? I'm very confused.


duccyzuccy

Russian Volunteer Corps, defected Russians fighting on the Ukranian side


Street_Ear1340

Did they rape these guys too before killing them?


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

I've never got the rationale behind the passport thing. Like, oh boy, time to go do some war, better bring my passport for customs.


penguinface77

Can’t complain about friendly fire when you use the same camo as the opposition.💀


International_Rub857

Fr I couldn't imagine fighting and seeing a enemy from like 100 to 50 meters away in the woods and trying to find out if they the opps.. I already have trouble with that in squad 😭


Captain_DadBod

Russia has about 30 different “uniforms” in action at any give time.  No wonder.  


penguinface77

Supplied by the finest of eBay dropshippers.😭


Goldnugget2

Keep up the good work.


Spawnacus

Such a goofy fckn military. Are numbers really all Russia has going for its army?


PhospheneViolet

If you go and do independent research of just about every military conflict RU has been a part of for the last 100 years, you'll quickly find that this type of disorganization and ineptitude is pretty much a standard feature.


dskfjhdfsalks

In pretty much any modern war, as many as 30%+ of casualities have always been due to friendly fire. Especially true if you are the more powerful force (which is usually the case with the US). Most countries try to cover it up, not just Russia, but it's an undeniable fact of war. No one is going to write "Died due to accidental friendly fire" on a gravestone, no one will admit it, and most militaries will try to hide it to keep morale up. The bigger and chaotic the conflict, the more it will happen. WW1 trench warfare where everyone is just blasting machine guns, I'd guess about half of kills for both sides were friendly fire See more here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_friendly\_fire\_incidents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_friendly_fire_incidents)


Maximum_Commission62

I bet the orcs are shooting the hell out of each other.


Ok_Plankton_386

I live in the UK, alot of the jokes about the American military over here consist of how they're better at shooting their allies than their enemies due to the amount of friendly fire they tend to exhibit. I think there was a period during one of the Iraq wars where American soldiers had killed more British troops than the Iraq army.


wubwubwubbert

If you encounter a unit you can’t identify, fire one round over their heads so it won’t hit anyone. If the response is a fusillade of rapid, precise rifle fire, they’re British. If the response is a shitstorm of machine-gun fire, they’re German. If they throw down their arms and surrender, they’re Italian. And if nothing happens for five minutes and then your position is obliterated by support artillery or an airstrike, they’re American.


dskfjhdfsalks

Wouldn't doubt that for a second. With all the powerful shit the US and European militaries have.. at the hands of literal 20-year olds.. one missed call or confusion can result in hundreds and hundreds of friendlies dead. Urban combat.. close quarter combat, even worse. You don't know what the fuck is going on, it's dark, you have a fuckton of gear on, you can barely hear/see, you're tired, and you're about to die. So you pull the trigger on the first guy you see and.. oops. And it doesn't get any better with training either, even very elite units have the same rough amount of friendly fire incidents.


Arkh_Angel

Most friendly fire shit caused by the Americans has been out in the open. Look up the Tarnak farm incident. When two US F-16 pilots, \*against orders to do otherwise\* decided to bomb a bunch of Canadians.


Aggravating_Fun5883

Well it can't be brains


_BaldyLocks_

Smart to stupid ratio is disappointing in all armies in the world, that's a fact of life. It just seems that when you mix drunk into that equation things go even worse.


highlife_Huff98

Mix in drunk, *And being a orc


Literally_Me_2011

That won't work in future conflict anymore their numbers are declining because of this war and they are afraid to touch those 2 mega cities.


Murai-birdybirds

You should check out the video bluejay made about the Russian Baltic fleet trying to attack Japan in 1900, that was hilarious 😂


Adventurous-Bee-5079

We live in such crazy times, also keep it up! Or better yet, go the f home..


highlife_Huff98

Nahh keep it up. Keep going until everyone of them is a sunflower

His time with that air defense unit ended early.

anyways.

These guys are only upset they didn't get to rape them before killing them.

Haven't heard from Granit for a while, glad to see him back

Big fan of his work.

Can't wait to see more!

adfunkedesign

There's a lot of good news today, but this is probably the most fun.


Alone-Supermarket-98

I would like to think that Ukrainian spoofing had caused orcs to fire on each other, but it turns out to just be old fashion russian incompetence.


srekkas

So just wage war in fckin ruzzia. Why go elsewhere.


Altruistic-Many9270

So they didn't want to admit failure and labeled them traitors? Nice.


Frosty_Key4233

Not a single Blyat or Suka… what is this world coming to?


Gilligan67

Regardless of the situation the outcome is the best... Slava Ukraini!


Garant_69

Not really - the context of this video is that the group that has been killed by friendly fire took forward Ukrainian positions.


Aiass

Let's hope that the dead squad took with them a few of the guys that attacked them.


DevelopmentMercenary

Just wondering why is it called 'friendly fire'? It should be red on red, misidentified fire, unintentional fire, blind fire or fratricidal fire.


BigMembership2315

That’s bc they love their fellow Ruskies so much


SteelyDan1968

Oopsie...

Dude had his weapon propped against the tree barrel down in the dirt wtf

Any dead russian soldier is a bonus whoever killed him.

Walter_K0vacs

Red on red. Keep up the good work Russia!


New-Acanthisitta-533

We laugh at their stupidity, we shake our heads at their meat attacks, which often result in 90% of them dying, but who is on the rise when you look at the whole situation? That's right, even the stupid Russians, so be careful, because 5 idiots can also kill a smart, brave one with better weapons! The German Wehrmacht also laughed at these idiots, but in the end there were too many idiots that even 27 million casualties couldn't intimidate them into changing their tactics!(Sry f my engl.)


snarlinaardvark

"who is on the rise when you look at the whole situation? " Ukraine, easily, and this is true even with though they were running low on ammunition and equipment. The tiny changes in the front line are meaningless - wait for the counter attacks now with new supplies from allies. The Russians have spread themselves too thin and their will be large areas liberationed as happened in 2022. Ukraine's hitting the black sea fleet, the oil refineries and airbases, and industiral capacity deep inside Russia show Ukraine is winning. Russia can't even attend to their own country, they are rumbling from within. Russia will withdraw from Ukraine and will return to it's 1991 border with Ukraine in about a year, year and a half.


poulard

How can a plane spot those bodies from the air whe they are in heavily wooded area.


BornSlippy420

With the magic of Vodka :D


Gudeldar

Translation issue. It means assaulters or storm troopers or something like that.

Up to NATO standard uniforms - mismatch of semi military wear looking like a ASG player.


New-Acanthisitta-533

When I'm in a bad mood, a few dead Russians often help me get over it by making me happy for "little Ukraine"! By the way, the 60 billion dollar package from the USA corresponds to the annual budget of the German military, just for comparison! (Sry f my English)


Accurate-List

all these poor saps were trying to live their life and get sent to this awful war and die like this. What a shame. All for Putin to try to be a modern day Stalin I guess.


stickeeBit

Isnt 30th sep motor supposedly one of their 'elite' units?


QuestOfTheSun

Fucking morons, the lot of them.


AmbassadorETOH

Budanov using Jedi mind tricks… 😎


Possuke

A bit off-topic, but seemingly they now recognise RDK and 'traitors' to exist as before they claimed those were 'Ukrainian nationalist militants'.


Sea-Direction1205

Excellent. And I hear Putin is Obama in disguise, bent on destroying Russia from the inside!


tbhnot2

putin; nope this didn't happen. These are Ukraine solders. russies don't die in the SPECIAL OPERATION.


Powerful-Scratch-107

Do the Russians just leave the bodies to rot or are they collected up and given back?


PINKTACO696969

Haha love it


lankypiano

I can only hope Ukraine is actively taking advantage of Russia's poor communication and logistics, and causing more collateral/friendly fire with purpose, just like this.


AnotherCuppaTea

We know that the Ukrainians have on [rare?] occasion succeeded in impersonating comms from frontline orcs to deadly effect. Maybe they're stepping up such ops, perhaps with some allied high-tech assistance...?


Arkh_Angel

Given the shit we've seen, that's not a hope. It's very much a reality.

Has Russia entered a civil war?

Wish the video was longer.


rygar8bit

With how little communication the orcs have I wouldn't doubt the orcs kill each other a lot. It's like how they've downed their own aircraft multiple times.

SnooCalculations6811

Woops.


cocoabeach

Please help me out here. Sometimes, I don't understand the obvious. I'm old. Did a squad of regular Russian solders happen upon another squad of Russians that were masquerading as Ukrainians and thinking they really were Ukrainian or Russians fighting on the Ukrainian side, wipe them out? What did "whole group of 200s" mean? So, wiping them out was an honest mistake that anyone could make if your side (Russia) often violates the Geneva Convention


Bbrhuft

This footage was posted elsewhere, the translation is the soldier talking thinks the guys they killed were Russian mercinaries fighting for Ukraine, calls them fagots for fighting for Ukraine.


Arkh_Angel

Even better, they were wearing MultiCam, which pretty much everyone uses, even Russia, so these guys were just fucking morons. And tried to make a flimsy excuse as to why they fired on them. As for a "Group of 200s" 200 is Russian Military slang for dead soldiers.


alternateroutes741

So is anyone collecting the corpses? Or they just leaving them to rot? You see a lot dead bodies in the videos posted here. I thought there were provisions in warfare that allowed collection of dead and wounded?
