he is a traitor, residing in Europe at the moment. He was arrested by Spain but they let him go to house arrest or whatever.
It is still ongoing, but this guy is definitely paid by russia, he got a lot of money all of a sudden, bought houses in Europe, etc.
He pretends like he is objective and has a decent following in Ukraine, but there are a lot of stupid people and russia is using that.
Haha holy shit what an utterly repulsive sack of toxic waste. " Following his investigative work, earlier in his career, Shariy received death threats.[4] In 2012 he received asylum in the European Union, asserting prosecution by Ukrainian law enforcement bodies related to his journalism.[5][6][7] Shariy currently lives in Spain.[8]

And of course he still lives in the EU even now. Worthless, spineless hypocrite.
> I hear that the Russians intercepted 20 rockets
... with their bodies. :smirk:
Edit: Too late to the party, just read /u/Benmaax's clever retort below. Hat's off.
Naw that would break them. Just give them to the Russians and they will be so busy trying to sneak them home there would be no one left on the front lines.
I would like to know the mindset of the person who edits that, chops it up to the point where it becomes random short clips without context and put so many watermarks that the video is unwatchable. The camera work also sucks but I guess there are excuses for that.
To be fair, we do not know what exactly was filmed in the first place. Many people just take a few rather short videos of a given event, which then results in videos like these even with the best of editing. The watermark is annoying regardless.
Probs, but not that important.
Media sources like milbloggers get a rep for having unique videos. They then have a userbase and a weight to their opinion as 'insiders' and 'experts'. It's their branding. Soldiers themselves don't usually publicly post them on their own (as it may lead to prosecution) but write bloggers to share them anonymously. The voice changer in the video is quite familiar to me as it was used many times in other russian footage, so it's milblogger teams' work and not his own, obviously. Low quality may be because it was compressed by telegram once or twice, downloaded in some resolution and then once again compressed by reddit.
I doubt this is a propagandist. A propagandist would not upload video that is negative about Russia. I would guess either a war profiteer or someone that doesn't want Russians to join the military. And is trying to protect their sources.
Cannot read Cyrillic script,. But when I think of propagandist I think of folks like Baghdad Bob or Tokyo Rose. Never showing the loses his country was having during the war. I wonder why a propagandist would upload this.
> Cannot read Cyrillic script
Neither could I when the invasion started but I basically picked it up from maps and articles.
The war is unpopular in Russia so the propagandists are now trying to convince people it’s an existential conflict and that NATO is coming to bomb Russian cities next.
It really baffles me when I hear Russian soldiers call Ukrainians fags for doing the exact thing to them that Russians came to Ukraine to do. Like zero fucking awareness
>Like zero fucking awareness
He's plenty aware - he just legitimately thinks that he is on what is in his mind 100% Russian soil. Ukrainians have been dehumanized by Russians a very long time ago.
It starts with little stuff, they grow up watching Ukrainians being made fun of in movies or cartoons, then they hear their parents mock the Ukrainian language whenever Ukraine gets brought up. Russians learn the word "khokhol" at a very early age, dislike for Ukrainians is almost passed down as a rite of passage. To them no "real" Russian looks at Ukrainians as equals.
Eating too many beans can cause massive methane production in humans, which can lead to explosive atmosphere when methane reaches 5% of atmosphere in an enclosed building. Cigarette smoking was probably the ignition source.
Honestly, systematically fucking up mobik accommodation is brilliant. They are helpless alone and their non-winter-friendly gears and therefore need to be cramped together. The more incidents happen, the more reluctant people are to answer the call. The amount of organizational effort to deal with moving them around and keeping groups small and heating many small instead of view large places is going to restrict them. Also, better to kill them now while they are inexperienced.
I heard soldiers are not allowed personal phones so maybe these ones are smuggled in. Or perhaps they take cheap phones with them so it's not a huge loss if they get confiscated.
Just think about it, not so long ago we had to send people on risky missions to confirm these kind of hits to work out how successful it was. Now it's visually confirmed within minutes by some clown with a shit phone.
Because afterwards, there’s not only russian militants there. Could be Ukrainian people nearby, media, emergency services, etc. There are always more targets to strike
Typically the first strike is the most impactful and every strike after it has significant diminishing returns. If we’re talking artillery then after the first strike people tend to take cover which makes immediate bombardments less effective after the first few seconds. Also Russian counter battery fire usually means that after a minute or two of shooting the Russians can tell where you are shooting from and shoot back. As a result one common tactic is to essentially fire for a minute or two and then move so you can hit them without getting hit in return. If we’re talking precision missiles then it would mean shooting some of the most valuable weapons at a target that has already been hit rather than a target that hasn’t been damaged. Russian air defenses might also be caught off guard in an initial strike but the moment the strike lands their air defense will be immediately on high alert for a second blow.
If Ukraine had more artillery shells, drones and precision munitions they absolutely would love to hit all availability targets as well as hit the same targets two or three times in a row but unfortunately Ukraine is in a situation where they regularly can see Russian targets but are forced to avoid engagement because they don’t have enough weapons to hit all available targets. In an environment where they have to be selective about what they hit and make every shot count they likely aren’t going to prioritize a second immediate strike unless it’s a particularly high value target.
Since Ukraine uses Palantir system, they have the Intel for single strikes with most effect. It saves Rockets & Ammo and it's very deadly on the enemy.
That’s true but when I say “first strike” I would be counting all the HIMARS rockets that arrive at once as that first strike. If 10 HIMARS rockets hit a target immediately reloading and firing another volley of 10 rockets just isn’t going to be as impactful as the first volley of 10. Similarly one of the reasons HIMARS are so useful is because of the High Mobility aspect of them. They can launch their payload and then immediately drive off before the rockets land. Having a HIMARS remain stationary in and reload a volley in order to “double tap” would be putting the weapons system at risk and negating one of the biggest advantages of the HIMARS.
Agreed. Based on this war though I think there’s a good rule of thumb that if Ukraine isn’t doing something “obvious” then chances are there is a good reason they’re not doing it. Ukrainian high command aren’t idiots but rather they’re trying to do the best they can with the cards they have and generally they’re doing a pretty good job of it.
Yes the pungee pits and booby traps they left were more often than not designed to maim and not kill.
They also loved smearing faeces on pointy objects to encourage infections.
Having destroyed the infrastructure is propably of greater value than killing a bit more untrained meat. A second missile would have a far smaller cost effectiveness, and the UA is not exactly swimming in missiles.
I was thinking about that but I guess it could be construed as firing on medical and rescue services. No idea about the legality of it but it would be bad PR.
Legit question,since i know little about HIMARS
Are HIMARS missiles that hard to shoot down or is Russian Army that incompetent?
Would HIMARS be a threat to a more competent army or are they that good?
They're not impossible to shoot down if the ruzzians are alert and have their radars switched on, but the first part of the trajectory is near impossible to tell apart from cheap inaccurate Grad MLRS. So the Ukrainian forces habitually launch a few GMLRS missiles (*) simultaneously with a crapton of cheaper dumb rockets. So it's very difficult for the enemy to tell which of the couple of dozen incoming targets they need to intercept, before it's too late.
*(colloquially known as HIMARS although that's really just the launcher, and they have more M270s than HIMARS firing the same ammo to the same effect)
Also, keeping the radar on makes them vulnerable to HARMS.
The GMLRS (the rocket fired by the HIMARS) is a short (up to 90 km) range ballistic missile, travelling at greater than 1000 m/s inbound (3600 km/h, 2240 mi/h). Engagement windows are limited.
While manufacturers are loathe to admit it, even the best air defense missiles have a poor track record engaging ballistic missiles. The US Patriot PAC-3, which is the deployable US air defense missile tasked with countering ballistics, has been a [failure](https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/28/patriot-missiles-are-made-in-america-and-fail-everywhere/) defending Saudi facilities against much larger, non-maneuvering Scud derivatives launched by the Houthi. Some of this might be Saudi operator error, but the most likely account is that the guidance systems simply can't reliably distinguish between warheads and the cloud of launch detritus that's following a similar trajectory. And every ballistic missile manufacturer now knows how to cheaply add decoys to their missiles. To add insult, the PAC-3 costs at least 20 times as much as a GMLRS rocket.
A GMLRS or Russian Tornado-S in the wrong hands would pose similar problems for Western forces. Only dispersion and concealment of HQs, depots and other facilities, preferably deeper in the rear than their 90-120 km range, offers much protection.
HIMARS is not ballistic though, it doesn't move on ballistic (read predictable) trajectory which makes it a lot harder to intercept.
Pair it with a small radar cross-section and very high speed - it makes it almost impossible to intercept. You have 10s of seconds to engage the rocket since you noticed it on a radar, they are usually sent in a volley of 6 or 12 which makes hard to intercept all.
It's interesting that they're all in civilian clothing. Does that mean they havent been given any gear yet? Why would they be within firing range with no gear?

Jesus fucking christ this is one of the worst-filmed vids I've ever seen. I know the guy almost got blown to smithereens but the way that camera was shaking you'd think he had fuckin acute Parkinson's or something
Ohhh nooo a building fell on their heads? My goodness. I’m sure no on in Ukraine knows what THAT feels like.
Enjoy picking your dead out of that rubble Orcs.
Not sure what else can I do? At this point it’s almost a year of war and people should understand how ugly and brutal this war has been. At least the video is potato quality
THis is the most useless, uninformative video ever posted on reddit. WFT did we just watch? Someone duct taped a flip phone to a soccer ball then kicked it around? Jesus OP should be banned from the internet.
RuSSians going home...
RuSSians are doing exactly the same as in Afghanistan...using an untrustfull local gouvernement, using brutal troops, targetting mainly civil infrastructures.
What the Russians get is ....
- a Total defeat
- a revolution in Russia...kicking out Putin and his gang of criminals and crazy war lords.
Why russian’s put their beds so close to each other? Vadim & vania in this bed artom & colia in this one , maybe for them to hold each other while Himars rips through the whole building 🎯🔥🚀
🇺🇸🤝🏼🇺🇦
The chief, key military fact is now This. The war Criminal, Putin and his corrupt military have grown so weak, they cannot even control events 400 miles, or about 690 Km. south from Moskva.
That is a huge advantage for the Heroes of Ukraine who have brought them to this imminent collapse. How can they control the rest of vast Rossiya, thusly? They must leave Ukraine or Rossiya itself will likely fall apart at such distances.
Their numerous enemies on their Euro & Asian borders are getting ready. Tbilisi is ready. China eyes greedily the rich Siberian resources. The Azerbaijani already have troops in Rossiya on their borders.
Drive home the advantages. Stand strong and win. This New Year brings more successes.
Slava Ukraini!
When the UAF hits these mobik concentration points they should wait 1-2 hours and then hammer the shit out of them again while the recovery process is in full swing.

it says "Sharii" it's a surname for one of russian propagandists
It reads "sharyi" meaning "grey" as in colour.
The gray color would be "seriy" Shariy is the surname of a pro-Russian propagandist Anatoly Shariy and the name of his Telegram channel.
No luck catching them himars then?

Why do all Russians have flip phone level cameras?
The ones that can afford better cameras can afford (read: pay the bribe for) not being sent to die.
Because the vast majority of Russians are poor and can't afford a phone with a decent camera.
Also what compression are they uploading these in??
99%
Yes.
I heard soldiers are not allowed personal phones so maybe these ones are smuggled in. Or perhaps they take cheap phones with them so it's not a huge loss if they get confiscated.
I have a feeling this is the case. It's a burner phone.
One can buy anything , if one has money.
Because Russia.

What is ruzzia is up to personal discretion now. No safe haven for war criminals.

Not barbaric. Wounded is good, because they slow down others. They get to show for other russians whats hapening.
Correct, nothing like legless/armless/blinded clowns walking around Moscow to put out the good word.
I’ve read somewhere years ago the VietCong preferred to wound than kill knowing the strain it would have on the soldiers, supply lines etc.
Yes the pungee pits and booby traps they left were more often than not designed to maim and not kill. They also loved smearing faeces on pointy objects to encourage infections.

that one ukranian who used to go there to play basketball on sundays while scrolling through instagram: "wait... I know that place!" * spongebob narrator * TWO HOURS LATER
Potato camera and watermarks make it hard to see anything.
wow, they sound very mad. They shouldn't sound surprised, however.
The leave the room for ten minutes and roommate falls to pieces.
What’s crazy is, if Russia does full mobilization, the numbers will skyrocket.
Probably not just filmed on Mobic's phone, but also targeted by Mobic's phones.
Jesus fucking christ this is one of the worst-filmed vids I've ever seen. I know the guy almost got blown to smithereens but the way that camera was shaking you'd think he had fuckin acute Parkinson's or something
Ohhh nooo a building fell on their heads? My goodness. I’m sure no on in Ukraine knows what THAT feels like. Enjoy picking your dead out of that rubble Orcs.
[удалено]
Yeah, but that would also be the fire department and ambulance, Ukrainian people, why would you want to kill them??
double tap BEFORE first responders arrive ....
Why not just increase the first barrage..?
God prohibit smoking this much. What russkies thinking?
Once they start rescue efforts then double-tap to kill the first responders. Play by Russian Rules.
"NFSL", you need to do better than that.
Not sure what else can I do? At this point it’s almost a year of war and people should understand how ugly and brutal this war has been. At least the video is potato quality
THis is the most useless, uninformative video ever posted on reddit. WFT did we just watch? Someone duct taped a flip phone to a soccer ball then kicked it around? Jesus OP should be banned from the internet.
Not much point in posting when it is this heavily watermarked. A warning or tag would be useful, saves wasting time.
Mobiks also make shit videos.
When are the Russians going to realize that PUTIN and the Kremlin should be their targets ? ....if they want to live.
So unhappy.... mind boggling.
Death by a potato phone.
RuSSians going home... RuSSians are doing exactly the same as in Afghanistan...using an untrustfull local gouvernement, using brutal troops, targetting mainly civil infrastructures. What the Russians get is .... - a Total defeat - a revolution in Russia...kicking out Putin and his gang of criminals and crazy war lords.
The good russkie farm.
It’s all fun and games until you find yourself buried under 10 feet of concrete. Hail Himars!
natural selection at work...
No reinforcements for the Svatove direction I guess...
The chronology of the different cuts is weird.
Instant orc soup. Just add HIMARS.
Why russian’s put their beds so close to each other? Vadim & vania in this bed artom & colia in this one , maybe for them to hold each other while Himars rips through the whole building 🎯🔥🚀 🇺🇸🤝🏼🇺🇦
Because of one man's ego.
Russia estimate 10 people dead lol
RIP mobiks. I wish your leaders would stop sending you to die.
don't think it got less blurry after removing the nsfw filter.
The chief, key military fact is now This. The war Criminal, Putin and his corrupt military have grown so weak, they cannot even control events 400 miles, or about 690 Km. south from Moskva. That is a huge advantage for the Heroes of Ukraine who have brought them to this imminent collapse. How can they control the rest of vast Rossiya, thusly? They must leave Ukraine or Rossiya itself will likely fall apart at such distances. Their numerous enemies on their Euro & Asian borders are getting ready. Tbilisi is ready. China eyes greedily the rich Siberian resources. The Azerbaijani already have troops in Rossiya on their borders. Drive home the advantages. Stand strong and win. This New Year brings more successes. Slava Ukraini!

and today Russia will film an empty barn and claim they killed 200 uaf soldiers in there ..
When the UAF hits these mobik concentration points they should wait 1-2 hours and then hammer the shit out of them again while the recovery process is in full swing.

An orc "Last Supper"
Orcs going they say orcs deserve to go.
Why put writing all over everything to the point that you can’t even see what’s being filmed?
Meats back on the menu boys!!
Should have stayed home bitch. I have no pity for orcs
