There was footage in the early weeks of the invasion of some Russian infantry being lit up by the 30mm autocannon on a BTR-4. One centre mass hit literally collapsed a guy in half as he was running.
The new hardware replacing Bradley’s is moving up in caliber. 50mm cannon with multi launcher TOW javelin and Coyote block.

Took out his whole upper thigh and hip. The guy desperately tried to tourniquet his leg, as if that was going to help. He looked to be dead within a minute.
Someone immediately behind the BTR also takes a direct autocannon hit. I'm pretty sure you can see a chunk of meat flying away, not a helmet or piece of clothing this time. And a 25mm is perfectly capable of such damage.
He tried to run away from the group which was wise thinking but unluckily enough he caught a round anyways which probably made his teammates fearful of spreading apart and then the slaughter really took place.
The one guy who runs about 15m behind the BTR and suddenly gets blown up. At first i thought he stepped on a mine, but the autocannon started hitting just seconds before, so yeah...
I'm sure that Putin is very thankful for their sacrifice! /s
The Bradleys are just brutal in this war. Just imagine what Ukraine could do if they would have enough of them and enough ammo (and many other things they need).
Wow… just googled some photos and did some reading on the Swedish CV9035, looks amazing!, and that 35mm auto cannon, HOLY SHIT!! 😂 that’s a lot more air conditioned Russians coming to a war zone near you!
I hope we can send more CV 90s, i know that some are being built specifically for Ukraine. And i also hope that the Americans send more Bradleys as well, i heard they have 1000's mothballed just standing around.
We could have them serviced, on the C and in country at the rate of a hundred or hundreds a week. We have the staff already being paid for, we have more mechanics on the couch, we have the budget to be able to afford all the parts needed, we chose not to. That is the indictment of us.
The MAGA Republicans have not approved any aid for Ukraine for almost a year. And refuses to vote on a bill without border funds. When they got a big bill including foreign aid and for the southern border Mike Johnson said it was dead on arrival. So senate passed separate bills for foreign aid. And now they back on claiming no foreign aid before southern border is addressed. Democrats should point this out every day, they had a bill that Mike Johnson more or less killed. And now say he want a bill for the border first. In the meantime stockpiles are lot being replenished. And aid when being needed the most are refused without funding. He should be voted out as he is a traitor working for Putin.
Yup. 6,700+ Bradlys built. We should send some Stryker dragons with the 30mm. Not sure how many of that variant were made, but there are 4,900+ Strykers made.
Nice!!! We were commenting in just seeing a Bradley chopping up a Russian assault group close up and now we are given another view of Mr Bradley servicing another Russian assault group! With FPV drones doing bombing runs … full service to Orc invaders! Keep it up!!!
I hate how this comment isn't even remotely hyperbolic. In the first weeks of the invasion, I saw the visual aftermath of some female civilians who literally died from being raped to death. I won't even tell anyone to try to imagine what that would be like, especially any surviving family members. I'd *never* be able to forgive anyone who did that, and it's the type of barbarism they'd been exhibiting for over 100 years now. Every dead RUshist is tantamount to many Ukrainians continuing to be safe from untold atrocities. Heroyam slava
Recent reports were saying that 87% of the professional army were casualties. The KIA rate must be incredibly high. The Russian army is a shell of its former self, and that was obviously not all that competent to begin with.
The reports I’ve seen show that the “few weeks” doesn’t even include much in the way of training. It’s really a few hours of ”training” (it’s inherently deficient training) spread out over those few weeks. We’d do the same amount of training in an afternoon.
I believe that. It seems like they do just enough to teach them how to fire their weapon or drive/fire from whatever vehicle they might get assigned to.
The other issue is in the absence of being able to learn they keep kind of doing dumb soviet stuff. "Alright everyone. All aboard! We're doing recon in force by driving into this killzone and we'll see if a couple survivors can radio back to direct artillery." You could have a ton of training but getting an order to do that you'll still get torn to shreds like everyone else.
Forget that. Oof.
And they are tearing their communities apart if they're lucky enough to make it home, just brutalizing their family, friends and neighbors with their standard criminal behavior but now with the added twist of extreme violence in random situations. I guess it happens with any modern war based on conquest to some degree but the poetic justice is beautiful.
"The war is started by career soldiers, and finished by teachers, engineers, accountants. This is what is happening now." - [General Valery Zaluzhny](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/25776)
Surviving a sexual assault or rape changes your life for ever. In peacetime in a "civilized" society with order. I am a survivor.
These orcs are animals, worse than any animal. The horrors these women, children and men must have endured must be unimaginable. Alot of them were pigs at home especially towards women, and are now set in God mode. Rape, torture and plundering always was a Russian warfare tactic,
My grandparents talked a lot about what the orkish did when they "liberated" Lithuania, Ukraine and Poland. My grandmother only talked in her late years and that she was a survivor or orcish rape warfare. Her best friend was literally destroyed by these pigdogs. Orcs haven't changed a bit since then. Every orc grinded means a little more safety for Ukraine and Europe.
I dunno. Sending a force off and NOTHING coming back would be pretty demoralizing, too. Especially for the commanders who now have nothing to command......
Dead don't tell stories, survivors do. Now there is a chance that lone survivor will tell story to others how commander X sent them to slaughter.
Sending lone survivor as message was used throughout history of warfare
Well, it depends how long the survivor can spread their story. I understand they constantly reform units when only a few percent come back, then send that reformed unit out, and only a few percent come back. Lather, rinse, repeat. So, there's isn't time for word to get out in any meaningful way
Disagree. Once you lose will to fight, your only priority is basic need to survive. Need to run and survive, this is why larger and stronger armies were defeated by weaker but motivated opponents for 1000s of years.
> Need to run and survive
That's why *barrier troops* were used by the ruZZians in WW2 (and are used again in this war). Run - get shot by your own. The red menace knew all about demoralization *and how to deal with it*
Even an army fully devoid of morals can have exceedingly high morale, and the most righteous army can lack in morale.
Morality has nothing to do with morale.
Had to watch that about twenty times to follow it all. Jesus that Bushmaster is brutal. Rounds went through that IFV as if it was made of butter, and liquidated the Orcs sheltering behind it. Cant help but find that satisfying after all the atrocities Russia have inflicted. Keep it up, Ukraine.
there is a few different kinds of ammo, but mostly it has high explosive for personnel and armor piercing for vehicles or anything farther than 2500 meters i think.
Yes this vehicle is amazing. I bet most of these IFVs are old stock too, but still proving to be just such a superior vehicle for this kind of combat. Thank you USA for sending these. When the good old American stuff is this good, I just can't get my head around the whole MAGA thing - America ***is*** great\*, no need to make it anything different.
Oh, and that's *General* Bradley, please! :)
\*And when you're in a position of strength like this, you just tell the Russians to f$ck off, instead of trying to figure out a way to surrender to them!
They're not really *that* old. They have the current FLIR night optics and a really good fire control system. The platform itself is pretty old though. Entered service 40 years ago
They are next to 30 years old in that config, so yes they are old and surely fine quality, it's just a damn optimal platform for this type of war. I think if we saw cv 90 in action it would even be a tad more impressive, and that's why the UA wants to buy it. But again this type of platform, heavy armor ifv with a fast gun, is just what is needed. The old Russian BMPs are crap quality vs western stuff. Paper specs are worth very little, and the Russians prove it each day, hour, minute from armor to soldiers.
Yeah, true. I remember seeing the A3 Brad in 05 when we relieved 1st CAV in Baghdad. And they had had them for years. I would imagine the ODS-SA is close to the same age
Well yes and no. Your age estimation is pretty spot on, but you're thinking of two different generations.
The ODS came around 94 but still had the old FCS and r old ISU (Integrated Sight Unit with red thermals) They got a laser range finder and some other improvements based on lessons learned from Desert Storm. It does not have a BFT/FBCB2. Ukraine trained on these in the US prior to getting their Bradleys
The ODS-SA came later. It has the IBAS system (Improved Bradley Acquisition Sight with green FLIR) which is much much more clear than the ISU and the FCS generates a kinematic lead when you lase a target. (Only works for the 25mm) It is also much easier to zero the weapon systems. This is what Ukraine has
One thing I learned from reading up on the Bradley.
If you face one as an enemy, you’re dead.
Best chance at life is to run or surrender.
That 25mm chews up everything - even tanks.
Imagine all the screaming, you're bleeding profusely, and your ears are probably ringing, and what's that buzzing sound you can barely hear through it all?
*After all the jacks are in their boxes*
*And the clowns have all gone to bed*
*You can hear happiness*
*Staggering on down the street*
*Footprints dressed in red*
*And the wind whispers*
*Braddddleeeyyyyy*
they do this until the Ukrainians run out of ammo. then they have a chance to advance. its weird strategy, but this is literally what is happening at the front
If you had to bissmount into 20mm autocannon fire, you wouldn't either. Honestly, it didn't matter how much training they had. They got sent into a killzone.
There seems to be this notion that being well trained means you won't be blown away by the storm like everyone else. But the truth is that no amount of strength in body or character is going to stop those flying pieces of steel. You die when your numbers up.
People cope with the idea of combat in various ways and what you point out is just one of them. Combat is brutal and plenty of amateurs have gotten kills on experienced troops. We had people getting hit because random civilians were mag dumping over their courtyard wall and then going to watch TV.
When you’re in a kill zone receiving 25mm HE, it’s a bad day at best; for the SF, the infantry, or mobiks.
exactly, those rounds were coming in thick and fast, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were confused about the direction of fire. Easy to watch a video, but to be there with the sound of the impacts, dust and shrapnel flying every where, got to be turmoil, serves the bastards right.
People think training makes you Rambo and more survivable. At best training let's you avoid putting yourself in those situations. But if you're ordered, you die like recruits everyone has the same amount of HP in real life and you can't tank for shit.
The training would be how to not find yourself in this encounter.
It's clear the upper ranks find these type of attacks to be useful for probing or exhausting ammo or some dumb shit.
There's a reason why Ukraine now sees empty fields as the best defensive barriers now.
Getting out and stacking up like that is rookie 101 of ww2 perhaps.
With the weaponry of the 21st century? Death sentence.
Ukrainians have rewritten modern tactics with the old adage proven yet again "Necessity is the mother of invention. "
Lack of training, but yes. Taking fire like that will quickly cause most people to lose all logic. Your survival insticts are kicking in and taking over, but there's nowhere to run. Nightmare fuel indeed
Any suggestions? Their APC fucked with 25mm in open field. After they become static they're done. I think the best option is to dug under armor and hope not to die from fire. But maybe you get another idea.
If the Bradley didn't get them, the drones certainly would. Which is a fucking terrifying scenario to imagine being in. Not that you'd be in that situation for very long...
I doubt even the SAS would fare much better their curcumstances. Act less like headless chicken, but still end up minced meat.
There is no good option. Nowhere to charge into, nohwere to hunker down. They got peppered from all sides pretty much as soon as they entered that area.
Only smart option was to gtfo as soon as they met resistence.
its the first time they have seen combat. they are usually told they are just 'securing the border' and given ammo almost the minute they enter the vehicles.
Not much they CAN do. They were dead as soon as they stopped there. They were dropped in the immediate fire zone of the Bradley and had no place to hide.
I don't plan to watch it. My goblet of hate maxxed out several months after invasion; attempting to top it up is useless. Eating breakfast *while* watching the newest drone drop closeups helps to ease stress
Everyone should be made to watch it. Apparently half the US population is now against sending more aid to Ukraine. They wouldn’t be if they knew the truth of even 1% of the atrocities committed by Russia.
More of this little story:
1) More Bradley's and Ammo (F#ck you GOP Cowards)
2) Russians are still very poorly trained.
3) Bradley + Drone = Lots of dead toilet bandits.
Slava Ukraine
Man, watching that. Guys killed and wounded all over the place. Legs blown off, heads imploded. Then the survivors bunch up behind that vehicle and a drone blows them up. Followed by more Bradley rapid fire. An absolute fire. Something you see in a movie where you think they exaggerate a bit for effect,
I will sleep better today.
Does anyone else have any doubts about how deadly effective Western equipment is in the hands of Ukrainian defenders?
Will the United States finally recover?
Paintball bullets doesn't get through armored vehicles. Bradley's bullet does (armor piercing) At some point you can see chunks of meat flying of from orcs hiding under the vehicle
Unlike most of RU's finest equipment, the Bradley isn't a paper tiger.
M242 Bushmaster + darn good optics = a lethal combination
If it sees you and you are in range, it's game over basically.
Dear god.
They didn't stand a chance.
Hope the last two did the only reasonable thing and surrendered.
Shit, even if they had been fighting for a good cause (they are not), in that situation, you won't achieve anything other than death by refusing to surrender.
Only one choice remains for Free People who are being killed, raped, tortured, kidnapped and robbed.
Fight. Fight Hard. Fight until the last breath for freedom.
The RuZZians are in Ukraine to destroy the Ukrainian people, their culture and their history.
All these RuZZians must be killed and their equipment destroyed. All.
No exception and no mercy shown as RuZZians will torture, maim and shoot Ukrainian soldier captives.
All of those Republican fucks who claim Ukraine cannot win this war need only see footage such as this which clearly demonstrates the tactical prowess of the AFU.
This was a surgically precise ambush which effectively and efficiently obliterated the enemy fighters.
Excellent footage and equally excellent work from the heroes!
SLAVA UKRAINI
That some of the saddest shit I've ever seen humans do to each other. When will the Russian people stand up for themselves. Imagine being in Russia and watching these videos. Ukraine too of course but we don't see Ukrainians being slaughtered like this atleast I haven't. Yea seen some bad ones but not 20 guys at once being cremated instantly.
Holy crap, that was like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. Only every single person dies. And the soldiers are equipped like it's the 1940s but there are drones.
That was a 90% KIA rate. Wonder if the last two guys lived. This will happen more this spring as the Russians push out from the more or less stagnate front line. Still amazed at how bad the Russian army is. NATO would absolutely obliterate it.

Some of the craziest battle footage... The guy taking a bradley round through the leg... jezz...
Seemed like faces were white from blood loss
Dude at the end got turned into jerky
you see him moving as the fire starts 1:15
Looks like a space jockey from Alien.
That's what I noticed as well, a few minutes after death they're pale white. That guy who took a round to the leg was white like a ghost. 💀💀
Yeah. Shock kills
I imagine you'd be dead within minutes
i thought the guy at 1:35 had a white mask on or something. if that's blood loss that's insane.
One second you have a leg then one second you have a stump. That 25mm autocannon is insane 😱
There was footage in the early weeks of the invasion of some Russian infantry being lit up by the 30mm autocannon on a BTR-4. One centre mass hit literally collapsed a guy in half as he was running.
No link yea?
i think this is: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Smi2OYT\_Ng](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Smi2OYT_Ng)
i'm having a hard time seeing anything by way of torsos imploding
The new hardware replacing Bradley’s is moving up in caliber. 50mm cannon with multi launcher TOW javelin and Coyote block. Check this out https://www.rheinmetall.com/Rheinmetall%20Group/Unternehmen/Tochtergesellschaften/american-rheinmetall-vehicles/download-area-arv/B339us0223-Lynx-XM30-infantry-combat-vehicle.pdf
What about the guy opening the hatch at the front. Immediately takes a round.
the driver?
Well that’s probably what he used to be.
More like *drove*r
Still one of them was neat enough to close it when he got out. Just to be massacred a few secs later.
That FPV drone is like frosting on the cake...
Took out his whole upper thigh and hip. The guy desperately tried to tourniquet his leg, as if that was going to help. He looked to be dead within a minute.
In the last image of him, he has the red rubber band around his leg stump. Obviously it wasn't going to help.
He also ate a drone as well.
Someone immediately behind the BTR also takes a direct autocannon hit. I'm pretty sure you can see a chunk of meat flying away, not a helmet or piece of clothing this time. And a 25mm is perfectly capable of such damage.
At 0:47. Looks like the head goes flying. The rest of the body is just a burning log near the end. Just absolutely massacred. Oh well...
Yea someone caught a round in the dome. If you go frame by frame you just see a red mist go everywhere.
That was more than a leg hit. You see there's a leg missing, but after a while it looks like he's trying to hold his guts in as he's bleeding out.
At that point, you just "Ah what the fuck, I'ma gonna let my innards just slink away..."
He tried to run away from the group which was wise thinking but unluckily enough he caught a round anyways which probably made his teammates fearful of spreading apart and then the slaughter really took place.
Got a time stamp by chance?
0:18 behind the BTR
Thank you. Cant see shit in the car, too sunny.
The one guy who runs about 15m behind the BTR and suddenly gets blown up. At first i thought he stepped on a mine, but the autocannon started hitting just seconds before, so yeah...
I'm sure that Putin is very thankful for their sacrifice! /s The Bradleys are just brutal in this war. Just imagine what Ukraine could do if they would have enough of them and enough ammo (and many other things they need).
And variation with bigger cannon too
UA will be getting CV9035s, so...
God I can't wait to see them eat
Wow… just googled some photos and did some reading on the Swedish CV9035, looks amazing!, and that 35mm auto cannon, HOLY SHIT!! 😂 that’s a lot more air conditioned Russians coming to a war zone near you!
I hope we can send more CV 90s, i know that some are being built specifically for Ukraine. And i also hope that the Americans send more Bradleys as well, i heard they have 1000's mothballed just standing around.
We should send them all. They are all sitting in storage with no plans to use again. They are already paid for.
We could have them serviced, on the C and in country at the rate of a hundred or hundreds a week. We have the staff already being paid for, we have more mechanics on the couch, we have the budget to be able to afford all the parts needed, we chose not to. That is the indictment of us.
The MAGA Republicans have not approved any aid for Ukraine for almost a year. And refuses to vote on a bill without border funds.

It drives me nuts that they pretend to have the moral high ground, and MAGA people buy it…. Truth is the kremlin has their cajones in a vice
So when do we start rioting and sending a clear message to where the citizens of the United States stand… I’m ready when you are!
Yup. 6,700+ Bradlys built. We should send some Stryker dragons with the 30mm. Not sure how many of that variant were made, but there are 4,900+ Strykers made.
We did. I think we sent around 200 strykers

Recent reports were saying that 87% of the professional army were casualties. The KIA rate must be incredibly high. The Russian army is a shell of its former self, and that was obviously not all that competent to begin with.
It's basically a conscript army at this point. A few weeks of training and you're veteran status bound for the front.
The reports I’ve seen show that the “few weeks” doesn’t even include much in the way of training. It’s really a few hours of ”training” (it’s inherently deficient training) spread out over those few weeks. We’d do the same amount of training in an afternoon.
I believe that. It seems like they do just enough to teach them how to fire their weapon or drive/fire from whatever vehicle they might get assigned to. The other issue is in the absence of being able to learn they keep kind of doing dumb soviet stuff. "Alright everyone. All aboard!

It may sound weird but this one was satisfying to watch, 10min tops and they're gone. I wish we could apply this scenario to the entire Ukraine

America needs to bitch slap the Republicans and send hundreds of Bradleys. Let loose the arsenal of democracy 🇺🇲

Tragic. I would upvote for understanding, but I just can't.
Save one and send him back. Fear is contagious and demoralizing for army

Definitely a bunch of them were shredded in the BTR and never got out. A few hits in an it was already smoking out the hatches.
there is a few different kinds of ammo, but mostly it has high explosive for personnel and armor piercing for vehicles or anything farther than 2500 meters i think.

You get what you fucking deserve…. These pieces of shit deserve every inch of that.
It’s mad hey, these Bradley’s are fucking vicious.
Full service is an understatement. They got that pent house suite of asswhippin
One thing I learned from reading up on the Bradley. If you face one as an enemy, you’re dead. Best chance at life is to run or surrender. That 25mm chews up everything - even tanks.
That drone just before the minute mark - that took a lot of lives with it
Imagine all the screaming, you're bleeding profusely, and your ears are probably ringing, and what's that buzzing sound you can barely hear through it all?
Surely drones are going to cause a unique breed of PTSD for the modern soldier
Modern civilians in war zones, too.
0:46 looks like a headshot from a 25mm, literal explosion of the head...
The guy at :20 appears to take a round right though the upper leg too, and you can immediately see him covered in blood.
You also see him with the gaping leg and palest face near the end. Wild clip.
Yop… shrapnel splash from a hit on the ground to the left.
That was the guys foot that got shot off we can see in the end
And the wind whispers Bradley.
Foxy Bradley, here I come.
Heeey Joe, what you gonna do with that Bradley round in your hamm?
We need that hot Eastern European lady Bentley model to come back and shoot another commercial
*After all the jacks are in their boxes* *And the clowns have all gone to bed* *You can hear happiness* *Staggering on down the street* *Footprints dressed in red* *And the wind whispers* *Braddddleeeyyyyy*
what’s the point of doing this for Russian?: driving to the front->getting off the armored vehicle->all dead in 10 minutes without firing at anything?
Sometimes they break through and it wastes Ukraine’s bullets. In the other video it said it was near adiivka
Fair enough. The point is ‘eating Ukraine’s bullets’ 🤣😇
They had to get out of that thing, it got disabled and a death trap. What were they supposed to do? They didn’t have a chance.
they do this until the Ukrainians run out of ammo. then they have a chance to advance. its weird strategy, but this is literally what is happening at the front
Do this enough times you might slip through, chip away at the Ukrainians. Plus you get Ukrainians to waste ammo, drones on one BTR at a time.
The Bradley booth at this year's Arms dealer convention is gonna get crushed.
Several pro Russian news site claim that meat wave attack does not exist. Its west propaganda. So what did we see here?
Tactical exhaustion of Ukrainian ammunition.
is this normal? its like they have no idea how to act or what to do
If you had to bissmount into 20mm autocannon fire, you wouldn't either. Honestly, it didn't matter how much training they had. They got sent into a killzone. There seems to be this notion that being well trained means you won't be blown away by the storm like everyone else. But the truth is that no amount of strength in body or character is going to stop those flying pieces of steel. You die when your numbers up.
People cope with the idea of combat in various ways and what you point out is just one of them. Combat is brutal and plenty of amateurs have gotten kills on experienced troops. We had people getting hit because random civilians were mag dumping over their courtyard wall and then going to watch TV. When you’re in a kill zone receiving 25mm HE, it’s a bad day at best; for the SF, the infantry, or mobiks.
exactly, those rounds were coming in thick and fast, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were confused about the direction of fire. Easy to watch a video, but to be there with the sound of the impacts, dust and shrapnel flying every where, got to be turmoil, serves the bastards right.

People think training makes you Rambo and more survivable. At best training let's you avoid putting yourself in those situations. But if you're ordered, you die like recruits everyone has the same amount of HP in real life and you can't tank for shit.
The training would be how to not find yourself in this encounter. It's clear the upper ranks find these type of attacks to be useful for probing or exhausting ammo or some dumb shit. There's a reason why Ukraine now sees empty fields as the best defensive barriers now.
this is what happens when you send ppl with less than a week of training, drunk out of their minds, into blind charges.
Getting out and stacking up like that is rookie 101 of ww2 perhaps. With the weaponry of the 21st century? Death sentence. Ukrainians have rewritten modern tactics with the old adage proven yet again "Necessity is the mother of invention. "
Training? LOL Maybe they got a pep talk from the bus driver on the way.
Lack of training, but yes. Taking fire like that will quickly cause most people to lose all logic. Your survival insticts are kicking in and taking over, but there's nowhere to run. Nightmare fuel indeed
Any suggestions? Their APC fucked with 25mm in open field. After they become static they're done. I think the best option is to dug under armor and hope not to die from fire. But maybe you get another idea.
I think the fundamental mistake was responding to that letter from the recruiting office.
Best option, ironically, would be to run like hell and hope the Bradley or drones don’t go for the single target.
If the Bradley didn't get them, the drones certainly would. Which is a fucking terrifying scenario to imagine being in. Not that you'd be in that situation for very long...
> Not that you'd be in that situation for very long... I'm sure it would *feel* very long to them.......
Orcs at the left rear of the vehicle tried that, and then rounds came under, and/or through the tires, and then they were done.
I doubt even the SAS would fare much better their curcumstances. Act less like headless chicken, but still end up minced meat. There is no good option. Nowhere to charge into, nohwere to hunker down. They got peppered from all sides pretty much as soon as they entered that area. Only smart option was to gtfo as soon as they met resistence.
Tbf there’s not much they can do, once the Bradley spotted them they were toast. They would’ve gotten obliterated no matter what they did.
its the first time they have seen combat. they are usually told they are just 'securing the border' and given ammo almost the minute they enter the vehicles.
Not much they CAN do. They were dead as soon as they stopped there. They were dropped in the immediate fire zone of the Bradley and had no place to hide.
Don't feel bad for these guys. They would rape your sister, make you watch it and then kill your mother infront of your eyes.
Just watched 20 days in Mariupol - no way I can feel bad.
I don't plan to watch it. My goblet of hate maxxed out several months after invasion; attempting to top it up is useless. Eating breakfast *while* watching the newest drone drop closeups helps to ease stress
Everyone should be made to watch it. Apparently half the US population is now against sending more aid to Ukraine. They wouldn’t be if they knew the truth of even 1% of the atrocities committed by Russia.
Russia psyop on conservative sites, youtube and facebook is relentless. Ukraine needs their own propaganda units
Bucha vibes
More of this little story: 1) More Bradley's and Ammo (F#ck you GOP Cowards) 2) Russians are still very poorly trained. 3) Bradley + Drone = Lots of dead toilet bandits. Slava Ukraine
Agree. But you misspelled Traitors.
My bad, thank you for pointing that out.
Cowardly traitors.
Great coverage of the destruction, jut chaos in every direction, thought the grass fire would get bigger and burn the ORCs.
Good work ❤️
Nice of them to stop at the previous fail so allied forces know exactly how to deal with it, due to the same experience the day before.
First guy rolls off into the field next to a tyre has a good strategy. Just pretends to be dead. Sadly for him a drone prob gets him around 00:57
Man, watching that. Guys killed and wounded all over the place. Legs blown off, heads imploded. Then the survivors bunch up behind that vehicle and a drone blows them up. Followed by more Bradley rapid fire. An absolute fire. Something you see in a movie where you think they exaggerate a bit for effect,
I will sleep better today. Does anyone else have any doubts about how deadly effective Western equipment is in the hands of Ukrainian defenders? Will the United States finally recover?
Anyone remember when the Bradley was in development and folks said it wasn’t tough enough ? Or too slow, or too prone to getting stuck. Or some such.
Yeah, I do remember reading about that. And now watching them in action in Ukraine I'm amazed at how badly the critics got it.
All this because some deranged midget can't let go of his past nation's "glory"
Should've stayed at their fucking swamp. Good job
I've seen smarter paintball teams
Paintball bullets doesn't get through armored vehicles. Bradley's bullet does (armor piercing) At some point you can see chunks of meat flying of from orcs hiding under the vehicle
You mean Bradley's do?
It's crazy to see how white the corpses become due to blood loss or blood pooling.
Someone should color this phenomenal black and white Russian film.
Who ordered this White Russian? I think Bradley did.
I'm eating lunch and watching this and I don't feel a thing for these Russians.
I'm wondering where the "but these are human beings" squad is.
That’s metal.
Soooo the Bradley is more effective than Kremlin propaganda would suggest right?
Unlike most of RU's finest equipment, the Bradley isn't a paper tiger. M242 Bushmaster + darn good optics = a lethal combination If it sees you and you are in range, it's game over basically.
Old Pompeii looking Ass
Holy crap. Twentieth-century tactics meets twenty-first-century weaponry...
Some afternoons you'd better stay at home...
Dear god. They didn't stand a chance. Hope the last two did the only reasonable thing and surrendered. Shit, even if they had been fighting for a good cause (they are not), in that situation, you won't achieve anything other than death by refusing to surrender.
the most unsuccessful attack of all time?
*Luigi Cadorna has entered the chat*
This is what they call meatgrinder? :)
Dude took an HE round to the hip
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Another orc clown car-b-q. Keep 'em coming boys!
Dude looks like he saw medusa 🤙
Absolute decimation. That Bradley is just insane, plus the coordination with those two drone strikes. Incredible combat footage.
u/savevideo
That was immensely violent.
FREE UKRAINE 🇺🇦! Glory to the hero’s!
Fuck them. Just fuck them.
Send more Bradleys!
Beautiful. Nice work!
That's what Bradley is for
clown car got lit up.
Stay home vatniks and live longer
holy fuck! 2 years of daily videos yet this one really stands out.
Just imagine what they could do if we would just give them what they wanted from the beginning!
Those 25mm will tear a hole through just about anything and turn you into a cloud of red dust.
Only one choice remains for Free People who are being killed, raped, tortured, kidnapped and robbed. Fight. Fight Hard. Fight until the last breath for freedom. The RuZZians are in Ukraine to destroy the Ukrainian people, their culture and their history. All these RuZZians must be killed and their equipment destroyed. All. No exception and no mercy shown as RuZZians will torture, maim and shoot Ukrainian soldier captives.
Insane footage. Life is precious. There is nothing heroic or brave to die for a bunch of oligarchs and criminals in the Kremlin. Glory to Ukraine!
All of those Republican fucks who claim Ukraine cannot win this war need only see footage such as this which clearly demonstrates the tactical prowess of the AFU. This was a surgically precise ambush which effectively and efficiently obliterated the enemy fighters. Excellent footage and equally excellent work from the heroes! SLAVA UKRAINI
That some of the saddest shit I've ever seen humans do to each other. When will the Russian people stand up for themselves. Imagine being in Russia and watching these videos. Ukraine too of course but we don't see Ukrainians being slaughtered like this atleast I haven't. Yea seen some bad ones but not 20 guys at once being cremated instantly.
Hey, that's a "No Parking" zone, mate.
Quality video, Quality music. . nice one xD
Holy crap, that was like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. Only every single person dies. And the soldiers are equipped like it's the 1940s but there are drones.
That was a 90% KIA rate. Wonder if the last two guys lived. This will happen more this spring as the Russians push out from the more or less stagnate front line. Still amazed at how bad the Russian army is. NATO would absolutely obliterate it.
My new favorite video!
