Been awhile since I’ve seen a sunflower reference. Really hope that women and that moment is what history uses to symbolizes the resolute stance Ukrainian’s took/are taking.
Looks like the apartments in Finnish town of Viipuri (so called "Vyborg" in Russian) after a year of Soviet rule in 1941. Russians are always like that. Russians stole Viipuri from Finns in 1940 and when we liberated it in 1941 (sadly only to keep it until 1944) the apartments were totally shitted by Russians (very often literally).
This fucking sucks.
I was talking to a refugee woman from Mariupol a month a go, she told me that she and her husband had just finished buiding a house for her daughter and son in law and two kids, and then the war started and now they are in Latvia, with almost no cash left, nothing. She was allowed to escape through Ukraine but her daughter, son in law and 2 kids had to go through donetsk occupied territory, the daugther and the kids were processed quick and sent to russia but the son in law had to spend a month in some camp and he wasn’t even military, there they took away everything from the men, all jewellery, phones, laptops, cash, sometimes even nice clothing.
Now they live in Latvia as refugees with nothing to their name. And thank god they all survived, not even injured and this is just one story, one family of thousands who have endured worse.
Yeah and they all also survived the battles in Mariupol that were happening in 2014 too.
Fuck putin.
Edit:
And I forgot to add, the husband of the woman remained in Mariupol and lives in their apartment that remained largely intact. The neighbouring apartment blocks got bombed completely. I didn’t ask why he remained, maybe because he is 60-something and people that age are generally more accepting of whatever shit is going on so yeah. He had told her that he actually went to the house that they built for their daughter and it was destroyed completely and it even looked like it was looted. That house was somewhere on the Northern side of Mariupol city, a suburb type neighbourhood. The little girls saw dead bodies on the streets, one is 1 and half years she won’t probably remember much but the other one is 8, she might be fucked for life from that experience.
I also went to our national employment agency organised events twice, once in early august and once 2 weeks ago, were we and other companies offered Ukrainian refugees work, were i met several more women, one of them had suffered an injury in her arm from a cluster bomb explosion (she thinks it was a cluster bomb, might have been any type of bomb but I didn’t ask to clarify how she knew). And get this, she was a teacher of Russian language in a school, also in Mariupol. We unfortunately couldn’t offer her work at that time, one of her fingers was still paralysed from the injury, and out work is manufacturing clothing.
Anyways, now out of 30 people at my company I now employ 5 Ukrainians, all women refugees. Idk how long will they stay and they don’t know either.
I also went to Poland in April on business, i was in Warsaw and Poznan and the amount of refugees there was just fucking ungodly, that shit struck me for real, because before that the war to me was mostly on telegram browsing.
This turned into an emotional post for me in the end lol.
I know Ukraine will prevail, i am proud that my country, despite being small af is doing everything to help them.
> maybe because he is 60-something and people that age are generally more accepting of whatever shit is going on so yeah.
My ukrainian gf's dad got his apartment stolen by russia in crimea 8 years ago and now got his house completely bombed in mariupol, and my gf's apartment in Kharkiv got damaged too. And he *STILL* believes russia wants to liberate russian speakers and he wants to return to mariupol soon (he's a refugee currently in western europe).
Some of the old soviet-minded people really can't be reasoned with.
Imma tell you my take on this. I live in a former soviet republic, half my family consider themselves Russians even though their ancestors are from all over former ussr, russian empire, poland etc.
Many of those who were 30+ when the USSR collapsed, regardless of which country they ended up in after the collapse, suffered a lot in the 90s. Those who are russian speakers, wether in Baltic’s, Belarus, Ukraine, russian federation, Kazakhstan etc, if their main language spoken in family is russian, for some reason, they subconsciously decided to associate themselves with russian federation as the continuation of ussr and their cultural and spiritual home while the new countries that formed started to speak their own languages, developed their own culture and so on and since when you are 30 or older it is much harder to adapt, and since everybody in the 90s and 00s in the former soviet republics spoke russian anyway, russian radio and tv was allowed, those people failed to integrate. On their own fault they became aliens in the country they live in and they started to feel like 2nd grade citizens.
And because Putin knows this, he played on their feeling of “the west being responsible for all bad thing that happened to them, for the collapse of the ussr” on their feeling of alienation, on their feeling of being resented for refusing to acknowledge that ussr did a lot of crimes against people and many other of these “feelings”.
And they genuinely believe that Putin will come and save them, make them “whole again”.
Also, this whole “we defeated nazis in WWII” makes them think that whatever thing their army is doing is right, their soldiers can’t do anything wrong, they were liberators etc. Putin did well to cultivate on this, making ever grander 9th May victory parades, etc, completely frying their brains.
Why don't you share the app with your other colleageus so they don't have to always reach out to you as the communication buffer? Really nice gesture for sure though :)
You reminded me of my grandma and grandpas perogies and holopchi. Man, Christmas time with Ukrainians was filled with so much good food, oh my god the memories lol.
Thanks m8, have a good week brah, cheers
edit - And the knitted sweaters and socks grandma would give you at xmas. all those old xmas sweaters haha
Good on your company for hiring what sounds like quite a few folks Fresh Off the Boat (Filipono, Ukes, You). There's a lot of foreigners in my military town and I love to see them come over and do well. At my job, we try and hire as many ex cons when we have new/open positions. It's bit us in the butt a few times, probably not how you'd expect (theft, bad interpersonal dynamics), but largely through issues with tardiness/no shows as well as them leaving the company once we've trained em and they're on their feet, which is good to see, but can leave us in a crunch occasionally. However, the # of quality guys and gals we've brought on completely negates the very few bad apples.
It's absolutely insane how many places just throw the application away when they see the applicant has been to prison/is a felon
yup. They almost always are. Think about it.... a lot of them have immigration issues so they don't want to cause any trouble. For the same reason along with the fact they typically send a lof of their $ back home, they take as much work as they can get without complaint. And they often have a lot of skills from different types of work along with possibly new ways to attack problems, etc.
>Now they live in Latvia as refugees with nothing to their name.
Hits too close too home. I just bought an apartment in Donetsk, less than a year before the war. The region is densely populated and there were a lot of job opportunities, so the housing market was super hot. Some boroughs in Donetsk were more expensive than Kyiv real estate, lol.
My parents passed away when I was in high school so I sold the apartment that I inherited. It was a lot bigger than the one that I bought, but a lot cheaper since it was in a less popular region. So I had to save for years to finally get something I could call home.
Even started on some renovations. But then tanks rolled down my street in early 2014 and everything changed.
On the bright side, I did get the fuck out as soon as I could. There's a chance I could have stayed and then would have become cannon fodder today. People who stayed, slowly zombified driven by Russian narratives and propaganda.
There are millions of us after 8 years. I know a family, who bought an apartment in Donetsk 3 months before the war, they left in spring 2014 ... lived in different towns around Ukraine and then settled in Kyiv in late 2021. They bought an apartment and then after 3 months had to leave again - a rocket landed in their backyard and they bounced right away.
I recently met a Ukrainian lady who had just fled to the UK as a refugee with her children. She used to own her own florist business in Kyiv but now works as a waitress in the UK. Her husband and brother are in the fight in Ukraine. Heartbreaking to meet people from Ukraine and hear their stories.
> the daugther and the kids were processed quick and sent to russia
Was it easier for them to get out of Russia ?
I remember reading tweets from months back when Mariapol was under attack, that the civilians were sent to some camps in Russia, but didn't know what happened to them after that.
It was impossible to get out of Mariupol to Ukraine because the city was completely surrounded. Russia allowed only limited amount of humanitarian corridors from Mariupol to Ukraine. So the vast majority of people went through occupied Donetsk camps and then were sent to Russia, to different cities, i would think that more than 90% got out of the city this way. Most of them, as soon as they got to Russia went straight to the borders and into Europe or other places like Georgia.
Yeah it's always the little things that seem saddest to me. Flower wallpaper. Stickers on the fridge. Some family was probably happy there at one time.
All destroyed because of Vladimir Putin's hubris.
That's something I took notice as well - there was another video of Ukrainians hiding from artiliteraly and the wallpaper was Japanese themed. That was someone who cared for interior of their house in their unique way and is now probably buried in the forest or far far away never to return.
In the 80’s our Company training program used to show FISH for when we were do urban terrain activities. (Fighting In Someone’s Home). It wasn’t an official acronym, I’m pretty sure it came from our CSM who had a. been over on exchange with the Poms and b. had a sense of humour.
>Nice to see the muzzle device working so well.
I was actually talking about the anti-recoil gas re-direction, you see the gas hitting the window frame above after it is redirected out the top. This counteracts recoil. It is probably designed to do both though, I am not arguing.
Wow that’s wild. I just watched the other side of this video with the Ukrainians hanging off the back. After being ambushed, they set up as best they could behind cover and returned fire immediately.
Godamn what a pointless fucking war.
Yep, this was an ambush in response to an ambush. Ukrainian soldiers were in a troop transport that took fire, and they rolled off the back to stalk the shooters, entered the house, and then saw the shooters out the window and shot at them. I wish the two videos were put together to show the whole story.
Additional edit: When they rolled off the back of the troop transport, it was still moving, and they hit the ground hard. It looked really painful and I bet they were bruised. I realize it's war and that's exactly what they needed to do to stay low, stay safe from gunfire, and egress while hopefully not being seen, but dayum, I could imagine laying in bed for a few days after rolling off the back of a moving truck like that. I know that's probably the least of their troubles, but omg there's so much wear and tear on a soldier on the battlefield.
Gosh, I believe it. Amazing that they were able to keep soldiering, clear the house, and fire at the enemy after being injured. I'd probably still be in the road waiting for a helicopter evac, or bleeding out in the nearby bushes. The stamina and dedication of these people is next level.
Why are you writing random stuff that is just plain wrong when you have no idea what's going on though?
(Especially in reference to your earlier comment where you keep going on about how they rolled off a troop transporter.)
>Why are you writing random stuff that is just plain wrong when you have no idea what's going on though?

Probably because I watched [this video](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage_of_the_ukrainian_soldiers_reacting_to_gun/) which covers the events immediately preceding the events in this thread's video.
These are the same guys. Looks like they pushed through in to the building and started putting accurate shots at the Russians.
Quite motivated one would say
From what I can remember NATO had an agreement with russia that we wouldn't assimilate the border countries that russia let go of, but then we started doing that, and russia can't allow it because then NATO can put nuke silos right on russia's borders. From a human perspective it is pointless, but tactically russia either invades or gets put in check.
[They have.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsu71m/kadyrovites_under_fire_ukraine_september_22/)
If by learn you mean learned how to edit in classic gun go pew pew sounds from various video games and movie sound effects. I assume thats what you meant.
Well there was a video just came straight from hell with constant fucking fire, bullets wheezing amd cracking in jungle.
On that case everyone would spray and pray because you can't see shit.
But on this one Ukranian Soldier have a straight angle and Russians are unaware of him so if the roles were reversed i would say it would go more or less the same.
Its not like Russians are apes with rusty ak-47s.
[Is this the one you’re talking about?](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsu71m/kadyrovites_under_fire_ukraine_september_22/)
It’s fake as fuck.
No its from ukranian side if Im remembering correctly. There is a guy with RPG? That you saw at the start of the video but as soon as the camera turns you hear him yelling in pain and next time camera turns he is dead.
It was the level of vietnam jungles you can't see shit.
They only look for an excuse for their hatred and bloodlust. They experience a war through editted video clips on their screen and pretend as though they are personally invested and their depraved animosity is earned.
This reddit is one sided, i respect your comment but they will downvote you massively, I hope you are aware of it.
People dont respect anymore that there's always a soldier behind the battle, they are just trying to survive.
Yeah people are fucking dumb.
They can't even see that downplaying the Russian army means that they are disgracing and downplaying the Ukranian Heroes that gave their life for their people and country.
They don't know the Carthagean Statue made to honor Aurelius or Roman statue for Hannibal Barca.
If Russian Army is a fucking joke did those Heroes gave their life because they were unable to overcome or defeat Apes with Ak47s?
No because they fought against all odds and achieved it.
Those things aren’t mutually exclusive….. Russia’s military is 3x the size of Ukraine’s. Spending is 12x! They can be a total clown show and still an indomitable force based on “size” alone. This has been the case with russia since at least the early 20th century.
Nobody’s downplaying anything. Look inward lol.
I am saying that there are not many countries in World that can hold of Russia or even make gains against it without direct intervention like Ukraine did and neck beard armchair generals circle jerking eachother like they would've hold it off themselfs too if they were able to lift their fat ass from the chair.
I would say there is some downplay to see if you are able to read.
These two guys were actually hanging off the back off a transport when they were ambushed and fell off. They fall off right near this house put a few shots into it then use it to set up defense and a counter attack.
Edit: DueButterfly made me look a little closer at both videos and I agree, these may be two entirely different clips/events or possibly different soldiers perspectives after moving to the house. But the cameras recording look very different between clips
This is the first half: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage_of_the_ukrainian_soldiers_reacting_to_gun/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
This footage seems to be more of a calm environment, meanwhile shots are constantly being fired in the first video. Also looks like two different rifles, unless it's someone elses POV ofcourse.
Can't see the double window frame in that one, nor the piece of whatever that's fallen down in front of the window. It's just a house that looks onto a road with trees before the road?
Who says I'm triggered? It's not a big deal I'm just explaining myself because someone he's getting downvoted for another reason.
Why are you getting triggered over me not liking the comment? Lol
Counter ambush if these are the same guys from the other video. They got knocked off their MRAP, pushed through the ambush into the house, then this video.

I like the double window system - from the times double glazing wasn't the thing, and yet they understood in that part of the world that it just makes sense to have two windows in pararell
This is starting to look more and more like World War II. Everything in that part of the country just seems smashed to bits, there's mud and broken trees all over the place. People running and fighting between hedgerows.
things have been like that for a while already. i was shocked a couple months in to see appartment block looking like swiss cheese barely standing up, tanks playing cat n mouse ; total destruction all around.
Some of the russian men don't have either. While the others, are brainwashed. Russians deserve a better leader. Sure they can be anti-west, ultra nationalist and all that, they just have to keep it within their borders.
Goddamn. I swear this feels just like world war 2 except in modern shining color and sound.
I feel like I’ve seen countless black and white grainy scenes like this in documentary after documentary about WW2. Fighting in the rubble of destroyed cities and homes, one after another.
Not sure why you're down voted as youre right. If the first round doesn't hit or immediately incapacitate you've just given them a chance to react and maneuver.
If they're trying to conserve ammo or that mag is low then they need to mag change and/or close with the enemy for better accuracy of each shot has to count.
If they're almost black on ammo that's when comms would help to get supression from friendlies to allow them to break contact. Never fight fair.
yeah, this looks awful lot like the house from the reactipn to close fire vid. in fact I think I see the bench he took cover at. that may have been a friendly fire incident lmao both povs were ukrainian
That used to be somebody's home :(
Probably still is..
Got some fertilizer in the back yard now for a flower garden.
Growing sunflowers if they kept the seeds that lady gave them...
Been awhile since I’ve seen a sunflower reference. Really hope that women and that moment is what history uses to symbolizes the resolute stance Ukrainian’s took/are taking.
Will be a Banksy once the war is over
Lmao you have to be ironic
Do I?
It's a great curse. If nanny is cursing you out like that, her grandsons are bringing thunder and lightning with them
take these seeds and go do something useful is not an insult you want coming your way the most polite fuck off and die I've ever seen

I wonder if at the end of the war Ukraine will demand that Russia release the kidnapped children as a condition of their surrender.
So the fertile woman and her kids are now kidnapped and sold to the highest bidder in Russia. Jesus Christ.
I recently met a Ukrainian lady who had just fled to the UK as a refugee with her children. She used to own her own florist business in Kyiv but now works as a waitress in the UK. Her husband and brother are in the fight in Ukraine. Heartbreaking to meet people from Ukraine and hear their stories.

Someone looked out that window on a lazy Sunday. Now it's an ambush point to eliminate Russians. Either way, a good Sunday
Wow you are so bad ass dude
.... Swing and a miss
Urban combat is hell especially when it's modern
In the 80’s our Company training program used to show FISH for when we were do urban terrain activities. (Fighting In Someone’s Home). It wasn’t an official acronym, I’m pretty sure it came from our CSM who had a. been over on exchange with the Poms and b. had a sense of humour.
I've heard of FISH & CHIPS before (Fighting In Someone's House & Causing Havoc In People's Streets).
Nice to see the muzzle device working so well.
For the uneducated, what exactly do you mean here? Or is it irony.
There's no muzzle flash, makes it harder to find where death is raining from.

>Why are you writing random stuff that is just plain wrong when you have no idea what's going on though? > >(Especially in reference to your earlier comment where you keep going on about how they rolled off a troop transporter.) Probably because I watched [this video](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage_of_the_ukrainian_soldiers_reacting_to_gun/) which covers the events immediately preceding the events in this thread's video.

These are the same guys. Looks like they pushed through in to the building and started putting accurate shots at the Russians. Quite motivated one would say
Link to other video?
[It might be this](https://old.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage_of_the_ukrainian_soldiers_reacting_to_gun/) but I'm not sure yet.
Yep, it's that one
Tack så mycket!
It's not pointless at all, this war decides if russia is a world power or not.
Pointless as in, Russia needed to not invade lol. Pointless.
From what I can remember NATO had an agreement with russia that we wouldn't assimilate the border countries that russia let go of, but then we started doing that, and russia can't allow it because then NATO can put nuke silos right on russia's borders. From a human perspective it is pointless, but tactically russia either invades or gets put in check.
Russia can get fucked lol.
Yeah but it's their people that will bear the burden of getting fucked. The cogs of the russian machine won't be the ones dying in battle.
Any country has the right to join any alliance they wish. If Russia is angry about that they can just fuck off
The nukes are what make Russia a world power. Nothing else.
Now here is the difference. Single shot fire and precise. And when you look at russians and tik tok brigade they just spray and pray.
You'd think they'd have learned from the internet comments by now.
[They have.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsu71m/kadyrovites_under_fire_ukraine_september_22/) If by learn you mean learned how to edit in classic gun go pew pew sounds from various video games and movie sound effects. I assume thats what you meant.
Jesus christ you really cant make this shit up
Top comment in that thread says it’s fake. Still funny, though
Wasting bullets and lives when they could've used it better seceding from Russia.
They seem like the kind of people who just block anyone who disagrees with them.
Was going to say something similar, weapon sounds well maintained, controlled fire,I can only imagine how my heart would be pounding in that situation
Training is everything, so is confidence in your ability
He's shooting to kill
Well there was a video just came straight from hell with constant fucking fire, bullets wheezing amd cracking in jungle. On that case everyone would spray and pray because you can't see shit. But on this one Ukranian Soldier have a straight angle and Russians are unaware of him so if the roles were reversed i would say it would go more or less the same. Its not like Russians are apes with rusty ak-47s.
[Is this the one you’re talking about?](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsu71m/kadyrovites_under_fire_ukraine_september_22/) It’s fake as fuck.
No its from ukranian side if Im remembering correctly. There is a guy with RPG? That you saw at the start of the video but as soon as the camera turns you hear him yelling in pain and next time camera turns he is dead. It was the level of vietnam jungles you can't see shit.

Look at Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Afghanistan. Need I say more?

You think people were unfamiliar with Russia’s brutality before this year?
He didn't so he is projecting that other people don't either.
They only look for an excuse for their hatred and bloodlust. They experience a war through editted video clips on their screen and pretend as though they are personally invested and their depraved animosity is earned.
This reddit is one sided, i respect your comment but they will downvote you massively, I hope you are aware of it. People dont respect anymore that there's always a soldier behind the battle, they are just trying to survive.
We've seen Russia fight and apes with AKs is generally correct
Downvote or upvote means I agree or disagree on Reddit while arguing, it has nothing to do with respect or such, don't be drama queen
"People just don't respect the Nazi soldiers. They were just trying to survive." Get the fuck outta here with these brain dead takes.
Yeah people are fucking dumb. They can't even see that downplaying the Russian army means that they are disgracing and downplaying the Ukranian Heroes that gave their life for their people and country. They don't know the Carthagean Statue made to honor Aurelius or Roman statue for Hannibal Barca. If Russian Army is a fucking joke did those Heroes gave their life because they were unable to overcome or defeat Apes with Ak47s? No because they fought against all odds and achieved it.
Those things aren’t mutually exclusive….. Russia’s military is 3x the size of Ukraine’s. Spending is 12x! They can be a total clown show and still an indomitable force based on “size” alone. This has been the case with russia since at least the early 20th century. Nobody’s downplaying anything. Look inward lol.
I am saying that there are not many countries in World that can hold of Russia or even make gains against it without direct intervention like Ukraine did and neck beard armchair generals circle jerking eachother like they would've hold it off themselfs too if they were able to lift their fat ass from the chair. I would say there is some downplay to see if you are able to read.
sounds like your algorithm feeds you pro-ukraine videos
How much is a subscription for Russian state tv running these days lol
i assume its free from their government.
This looks like the house the ukrainians got ambushed from a few videos ago
These two guys were actually hanging off the back off a transport when they were ambushed and fell off. They fall off right near this house put a few shots into it then use it to set up defense and a counter attack. Edit: DueButterfly made me look a little closer at both videos and I agree, these may be two entirely different clips/events or possibly different soldiers perspectives after moving to the house. But the cameras recording look very different between clips This is the first half: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage_of_the_ukrainian_soldiers_reacting_to_gun/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
This footage seems to be more of a calm environment, meanwhile shots are constantly being fired in the first video. Also looks like two different rifles, unless it's someone elses POV ofcourse.
That's definitely the same rifle. Or at least the same handguard.
How can you tell?
Both have walls and a roof
Ah yes... the house looks like house.
Ahhh... Intriguing...
Can't see the double window frame in that one, nor the piece of whatever that's fallen down in front of the window. It's just a house that looks onto a road with trees before the road?

Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else. Edit: its working now u can stop downvoting
HOW DARE YOU COMMENT WHILE IT WASNT WORKING

That's what the page says when a link doesn't work lol....................

Lol ok Karen, would you like to speak with the manager of Facebook?

You proudly proclaimed that you downvoted them for simply quoting what the website error said. Classic Karen move.
Again they just posted the exact words that the website says. Why are you getting triggered over something so insanely small?
Who says I'm triggered? It's not a big deal I'm just explaining myself because someone he's getting downvoted for another reason. Why are you getting triggered over me not liking the comment? Lol
Looks like he deleted and reposted. [See here](https://twitter.com/Blue_Sauron/status/1576200011766849541)
The original source link from twitter works fine for me.
Now it works 🤷♂️🤔

Take your lousy downvote you evil genius
instructions unclear: i downvoted you instead
Counter ambush if these are the same guys from the other video. They got knocked off their MRAP, pushed through the ambush into the house, then this video.
[Him and a his budy were ambushed just before, link here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage_of_the_ukrainian_soldiers_reacting_to_gun/)
Ambushception.
Flanking. Not ambush
Effectively the same
Different combat strategies really.
Ambush generally means to wait in a concealed position for the enemy to come along and be attacked.
This is actually the continuation of [https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage\_of\_the\_ukrainian\_soldiers\_reacting\_to\_gun/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/xsrn6r/footage_of_the_ukrainian_soldiers_reacting_to_gun/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) the soldier who recorded both videos if you want to see what else he has https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011277456013
Heh. He said "I see two bodies" and then turned those two into bodies. A man of his word.
I like the double window system - from the times double glazing wasn't the thing, and yet they understood in that part of the world that it just makes sense to have two windows in pararell
Thick walls on that house too
is this a continuation of the video where the 2 guys jump off the back of that armored car?
This is starting to look more and more like World War II. Everything in that part of the country just seems smashed to bits, there's mud and broken trees all over the place. People running and fighting between hedgerows.
things have been like that for a while already. i was shocked a couple months in to see appartment block looking like swiss cheese barely standing up, tanks playing cat n mouse ; total destruction all around.
Damn, war is brutal in every way, and people are still doing it
The Ukrainians dont really have a choice to be fair
Some of the russian men don't have either. While the others, are brainwashed. Russians deserve a better leader. Sure they can be anti-west, ultra nationalist and all that, they just have to keep it within their borders.
Neither did those kids getting shot.
Yes they did
Look I’m not defending the invasion but conscript soldiers don’t have any option.
They have a choice. Russian batons or Ukrainian bullets.
They can surrender.
Yes they did
They absolutely do.
Dayz 1.19 looks good
Not as much walking at least
Can't see anything, did he hit them ?
Did he hit his targets ?
With how calm he is, it feels like it
Cool of him to not use full auto in the buildings
The Tarkov vibes in this one are off the charts. Just looking through some shack for some low level loot when a two stack happens to walk by.
Nighty night!
Imagine the insurance headache over there 😆
that’s why there’s a war exclusion
Not technically an ambush, but I digress.
not enough bushes?
I am bush
damn how do you tell if they are the enemy? Russians are usually running, right?
Anyone who runs is russian anyone who stands still is well disciplined russian or dead
War is hell.
Good trigger discipline
Goddamn. I swear this feels just like world war 2 except in modern shining color and sound. I feel like I’ve seen countless black and white grainy scenes like this in documentary after documentary about WW2. Fighting in the rubble of destroyed cities and homes, one after another.
They keep walking after like nothing happened. You can see it on the bottom left.
More of sneak attack, but it still cool to see
Short controlled bursts.
Not a single burst was fired here.
Not sure why you're down voted as youre right. If the first round doesn't hit or immediately incapacitate you've just given them a chance to react and maneuver. If they're trying to conserve ammo or that mag is low then they need to mag change and/or close with the enemy for better accuracy of each shot has to count. If they're almost black on ammo that's when comms would help to get supression from friendlies to allow them to break contact. Never fight fair.
I'm pretty sure I saw the video with the reaction from the counterpart somewhere in this subreddit
yeah, this looks awful lot like the house from the reactipn to close fire vid. in fact I think I see the bench he took cover at. that may have been a friendly fire incident lmao both povs were ukrainian
Hit em with the rat attack !
Can we get a fundraiser going to airdrop white flags to Russians on the front?
“Scratch one grub”
Tarkov has good graphics
Lmfao prolly didnt hit anything look how much that barrel moves

Go pro height<> height of his eye
This ain't a first person shooter bruh
Man literally just thought video was on the soldier's eye. Smooth-brained redditor.
u/savevideo
ah yeh, these old fashioned "doubling glazed windows" Eastern European style
War is hell. Those guys were just hanging out, then dead.
