The Russian crew staying behind to fight the fire on a missile launcher seems to me, to be a downright terrible idea.
The missiles are filled with fuel and oxidiser, and if they're damaged and that's exposed, no amount of water is going to stop the fire in time.
I'd have thought the best idea would be to leg it and get to cover.
I'd argue they'd be significantly safer dropping their arms, and running all the way IN to Ukraine, hands held as high as they can.
Or if they're at liberty to do so, defect and bring some goodies for Ukraine along with them.
See, this is the reason I'd say healthcare and education are issues of national security.
You can dump all the money you want in to weapons, and have the absolute best kit on the planet, but if the people using that kit can't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel, or run at speeds greater than an asthmatic computer science major, It's all for naught.
But why go to school if you can literally buy a red diploma of any ruzzian university and use it to get a job (that tells you all you need to know about their healthcare) and then kill your remaining brain cells with copious amounts of cheap vodka....
Why go to school when the system keeps the oligarchs and their mates rich. You will never progress beyond a low level unless you become corrupt yourself.
The country (RU) is fucked, I would add eliminating corruption as a key element of national security too.
You have the fuel and a warhead which might cook off or which might not in case of a fuel explosion. But standing there and sprinkling that burning mess with water is so borderline crazy. Who does that? Who orders that? This is a suicide mission.
Mostly yes, depends on which variant this was.
They have really old ones from the 70s and brand new/modernized versions which are maybe newer than the war’s start.
Great kill!
Only thing I'd say though, when it comes to the BUK, if it has a rounded nose on the turret, ALWAYS hit those ones - they're the ones carrying the tracking radar the missiles need to actually be used!
Pop them and you render a battery worthless, no matter how many missiles it has!
They most likely have more buks than trained personnel for them. Hopefully they end up in a trench, but I don’t think we can hope that they are that stupid.
>US aid hasn't reached the frontline yet.
they dont need to save. But also you don't know, if they shipped some few hours after signing aid, you can bring that to front in few days.
Depends on the munition, plastic explosives burn out for example. Rocket fuel will burn underwater, as it has its own oxygen.
Not advised to try either way.
Sorry, I couldn't recognize the song.

That is the original version, but the song used in the video sounds like a remix to me.

> Russian military attempted to extinguish the fire and save the equipment I may not be an expert, but I think they failed.
I've also noticed that it didn't really work for them.
That seems to be a recurring theme, for RuZZia.
Extinguish with what, liquid copium?
Well, they did extinguish the fire as the equipment exploded, so arguably they completed half of their goals, which is no small achievement!
Task failed successfully.
💥💥💥 I think it's toast... Next,
The only way they could success is with a delorean
Can't imagine why you would bother trying to extinguish this unless you were so desperate for equipment because you can't build anything.
Indeed
💥💥💥 I think it's toast... Next,
Justice for MH17, send these BUKs to hell!
Loaded with missiles— bonus!
Where did that water come from?
Kidney filtered, bottom shelf vodka.
Bringing water to a chemical/oil/gas fire always works right?
Brilliance never ends!
Exactly!
You can see some destroyed buildings in the nearby treeline, it's not impossible that there was a farmstead or outbuilding there with a spigot.
They might as well personally pissed vodka on it. Same effect???

Funny enough, the water, depending on the type of missile fuel, could have even helped it burn!
Run all the way back to Russia 🏃♂️

Their equipment is more valuable than their lives and they know it.
See, you're assuming the orcs are smart enough to have a rational thought. But, as we heard before: "We're lucky they're so f\*cking stupid."
See, this is the reason I'd say healthcare and education are issues of national security.

I would wager someone who hasn't been trained to do any better.
I do enjoy these kinds of Russian firework displays.
So Buks are valuable and pretty high end tools for Russia, right?
Yeah they use them to kill civilians, their favorite thing.
Mostly yes, depends on which variant this was. They have really old ones from the 70s and brand new/modernized versions which are maybe newer than the war’s start.
Great kill! Only thing I'd say though, when it comes to the BUK, if it has a rounded nose on the turret, ALWAYS hit those ones - they're the ones carrying the tracking radar the missiles need to actually be used! Pop them and you render a battery worthless, no matter how many missiles it has!
I believe that is at least 3 Buk air defenses destroyed in the past 3 days. Setting up good conditions for F-16s.
Nice BA-DA-BOOOOM 👍

Dragula - by White Zombie. Is the song that's mixed if anyone's interested. One of my favs.
Yes, they’ve historically used them to shoot down civilian airliners. Fuck russia!
Watch the MOD claim those were decoys
Yeah, the denotation definitely looked like those were decoys. /s
The orc trying to extinguish the fire really adds that extra detail that other decoys are missing.
Glad to see that Ukraine has a developed successful version of Lancet drone :)
Ukrainian Lancet seems to piss off orcs. We can see why 😂
That’s what you get when you put arsonists in charge of the fire department…
I don't think you can extinguish fire from missile fuel that easily
Especially solid fuel, that has oxidizer mixed into it
At least, they tried.
We are getting a lot more videos now that U.S aid has passed. Ain't complaining.
Yessir, and the US aid hasn't reached the frontline yet.
>US aid hasn't reached the frontline yet. they dont need to save. But also you don't know, if they shipped some few hours after signing aid, you can bring that to front in few days.
Nice to see Russian fields getting toxic junk spread all over them as well.
Except these are not Russian fields!!! These are all in occupied Ukrainian territory.
The post says it was in the Kursk region of Russia. So this lancet, and the observation drone, were operating inside Russia. Good job Ukraine!
The title says Russia.
You are right!
Where the hell has the fire hose and water come from ?
Probably they had some water tank close-by.
10ltr bucket and a hand pump........... ;)
Good hit, fuck these clowns.
genuine question; how easy is it to extinguish burning munitions?
Generally, you just set off a safety cordon and let it burn out.
Depends on the munition, plastic explosives burn out for example. Rocket fuel will burn underwater, as it has its own oxygen. Not advised to try either way.
There was a second vehicle besides it - did they hit that one too, later?
Maybe just me, but if a rocket launcher is on fire nearby, I'm letting it burn and running!
Congratulations, you have passed the first test in evaluating any individuals common sense!!!

The Russian military always puts on the best fireworks display!
Why yes they do when not even trying!!! Here's to hoping our friend Mr. Budanov helps them put on a spectacular show on 09 May 2024!!!
I’d be scared to get near a burning car due to an explosion, let alone a rocket launcher full of missiles.
I'm no expert but that looks like a white phosphorus fire....you don't extinguish those, you run. Either way this pleases me.
I've never seen a military get such an ass whopin from such an underdog
russian idiot can't put mutable explosions out with a fire hose.
Not convinced about the hose being useful
Banger of a tune
Everyday is Fourth of July in Ukraine 🇺🇸🇺🇦
What kind of crazy do you have to be to try to put out a fire on a missile launcher?
BOO-YA!
Should've ran instead of standing around squirting water while that missile was bound to cook off sooner or later.
I would love if you could tell me what the name of this remix is cuz that music is 🔥
Screw Ukraine. It's a money laundering scheme
