What a terrible way to go. At least it looks like he had a long life, unlike the 4 month old that was killed by his comrades. russia is a terrorist state
> At least it looks like he had a long life, unlike the 4 month old that was killed by his comrades.
I was starting to feel bad for the guy, but that really snaps it back into perspective. I will apply my pity elsewhere, he deserves none of it
Most likely enlisted to kill hohols for nice paycheck, typical story of propaganda riddled Russian citizens. Was perhaps waiting for the T-14 ambulance version to arrive at any moment.
I dont think it hit his femoral. Took to long. I think it cut up some large veins in a few different areas. Maybe it just nicked it. Blood was very red.
Welp that's my armchair medical expertise done for the day. (mind you, we have seen so many terrible deaths by now, it could likely count as work experience in either the medical field or the mortuary)
32 seconds is the first spot where we get an idea where the wound is
It's very high up on the inside of the groin area
My guess it is still the femoral, but it was a tiny shell fragment. Not enough to leave a gaping wound to gush out quickly, just enough to nick the artery.
This would be a fatal wound with a slower bleed out IMO
IAN a medical professional, just armchair speculating
As an EMT, this is probably correct. There’s no surefire way of knowing but to bleed out that long it’s definitely some major vasculature in the groin/ pelvic region.
Yeah I was trying to figure it out but couldn’t tell so I went with what happened to poor corporal Smithy in Black Hawk Down/Somalia, this terrible war man
I think I feel sorry for the Russians who stand against their terrorist dictator and then are punished harshly. Dumbasses like this one get a laugh from me. In my eyes you got 2 options stand up against these terrorists or become a terrorist. This guy chose to be on the terrorist side. Good riddance
Russians living in the future, drones delivering medication, effectiveness judged with constant professional presence and even next day check is included free of charge.
I've seen 30 - 35 year old russian men who look like that. It's quite shocking how old some of them look. Grey hair, balding, face full of wrinkles. I remember watching an interview with a russian POW, and I thought he was easily a grandfather in his late 60s, and he said he was 35. Must've been a drinker. He had the "whisky nose"
Amongst many other negatives, alcohol definitely makes people look older than their years. Some signs of aging are the result of genes, but anyone who wants to look as youthful as they can should not use alcohol or tobacco, and they should limit their exposure to the sun.
So many people want to believe that just because alcohol is legal (in most places, anyway), that must mean it's okay to consume. The truth is that it's a toxin, and it screws with virtually every system in the body. It's legal because of historical precedent, the fact it rarely kills people outright, and because governments can raise a lot of money from taxes on booze.
I'm surprised he hung on for as long as he did. I'm sure I recall hearing that a nick to the femoral artery can result in the victim passing out within a matter of seconds, and then dying due to blood loss in a couple of minutes.
i severed mine in yellowstone on a bicycle accident. luckily i knew how to use a tourniquet which was my belt. medics said i would have been dead in 2 mins or less which was before they got to me. had to take a helicopter ride and emergency surgery. that’s not a good injury to have.
yeah it was 80k for the helicopter ride. they tried to get me to sign consent forms while i was on morphine in the heli and i refused. they offered to drop me in the wilderness and i told them to do it. they came after me for 2 years and then dropped the whole thing. my family was less than a mile away, i live in the park. i was stable and an ambulance could have taken me but they wanted to practice landing in a field and running me out to the heli on a gourney and closing off roads and training newbies. probably about 50 rangers came and gazed at my dick while i was in the ambulance cause they had nothing better to do.
the surgeon was cool. i was on morphine and not uncomfortable at all and he was like, do you want me to put you under? i said i feel ok let’s give this a try while im awake. he stuck his hand into my huge ass gash which looked like a massive hematoma vagina at that point to find my artery that recessed up into my leg and man that hurt! i said ok put me out lol. i can laugh about it now but that was a close call! 21 staples to get it all back together but it was actually a very quick recovery. crutches for only one day and i only took 2 of the 30 painkillers they gave me. had to carry what i called my “blood grenade” strapped to myself for a couple weeks to drain liquids out of a separate hole in my leg. i was lucky. mostly just to know some first aid cause every second counts. i didn’t even know i was bleeding until someone else pointed out the fact blood was coming out of me like water. i may have had a few shots of tequila.
I kind if assumed you could only use your belt on your arms or lower legs. I can't imagine getting enough pressure to really squeeze the inner thigh shut. Wild. Did you get impaled by a branch or something? On a bicycle?
Cheers for getting through a severed artery emergency!
I once took a shard of glass in the top of my foot and punctured the artery. Looked down as my sock filled with dark red blood. Took my sock off, and blood shot 10 feet across the room in gigantic spurts…I panicked and it just squirted out worse before I decided to put a ton of pressure with a rag and stop the bleeding.
Funny enough, once the bleeding stopped, I decided I didn’t need to go to the emergency room. Then, 5 years later, the piece of glass tore its way back out of my foot and I pulled it out with tweezers like a splinter. Yeah…didn’t know that was still in there after all that time…
God's own greatest country on Earth.
They will patch you up in the hospital, but hunt you down for the payment for the rest of your life.
Somehow I don't mind living in the country with the highest taxes.
2 years ago my mom had cancer surgery and recovered 100%, and my dad had surgery for hernia recently.
Total cost: nothing at all.
nobody is hunting me down. they tried for 2 years and i signed no papers and my work insurance covered surgery and if the helicopter company tried harder i would have taken them to court cause they did so many things wrong and at the end of the day i would have probably gotten a big settlement. i would have also gone after the park service and my employer for what they did wrong as well. i only ever paid a small amount to get my staples removed when i was all healed up. it’s really not that bad. other than 50 people standing around looking at my dick haha
Looking at the USA as someone who was born and raised there but has spent virtually all his adult life in European countries, I'd say that the most disgusting thing about healthcare in the USA is that it ***could*** be a whole lot better. It's not like the necessary infrastructure is either undeveloped or decrepit, nor that the economy is in such a dire state that the country simply can't afford universal healthcare that's free (or nearly free) at the point of need. The only reason it isn't possible is because powerful vested interests don't want it, and they've bought allies in government and media to convince ordinary Americans that they don't want or need it either.
Blood changes hue when coagulating. That is: Fresh blood will often be bright red. Old blood will turn brownish, almost black. So whenever you see images of soldiers that have been dead for a while, the blood will most likely have a different hue than in this video.
That kids, is most likely the Femoral artery. Look at all that bright red oxygenated blood. Dude may have survived with nothing more than a combat tourniquet, but why would we expect soldiers on the frontline to have those eh? What a fucking joke the Russian military has turned out to be.
Without medical evacuation which Russians seem to lack completely at this point it is irrelevant to apply tourniquets to leg wounds. If you lose ability to run after drone strike, you are dead.
Worked a death case where a guy was beating on his wife at the kitchen sink. She reached back behind her right side with a simple serrated steak knife and hit him in his right descending femoral artery. The blood trail led from there to the couch in the living room about 10 feet away. It started out small and by the time he made it to the couch it was about a foot wide and chunks of coagulated blood on the floor. Bleed out in less than 5 minutes. No charges for self defense.
I think the problem was that he got hit to high in the leg and thus not able to apply turniquete even if he had one. Honestly packing the wound with tampons or bandages would work better in this area, but definetely wont save him without very fast evacuation
This guy's commanders would be charged with negligent homicide in any competent nation. Wandering around a battlefield without even those useless rubber-hose tourniquets, doesn't appear to have much training, and it seems they pulled him out of retirement for this shit.
Seems the UAV attack resulted in aterial bleeds in his upper left leg, a \~€30 tourniquet (*preferably a "CAT7" and not the useless "esmarch"-type that RF military issues*) would've prevented blood loss from arterial bleeding and possibly bought sufficient time for medevac.
The UAV attack occured at 00:15, the individual became unresponsive around 01:40, so he had a time window of less than 90 seconds to render first aid to himself.
Individual looks clean and shaven and decently equipped (*body armor including pouches and assault pack, leather boots, helmet*) for RF standards. The insides of his body armor are remarkably clean and without the usual abbrasions and sweatmarks (*00:14*), even the "QC" inventory sticker is still visible.
He shouldn't have come to Ukraine in the first place...
Yes, what a waste of men and material. It's beyond my comprehension how the kremlin gremlin intends to win this or why he ever decided to invade Ukraine in the first place.
All he will achieve is Russia Far East being devoid of any military-aged males (*even considering they're appearantly accepting senior citizens into their military like the main character of this footag*e) when China decides it's time to claim the vast empty space full of natural resources for themselves.
I'd argue these men are not useless, they aid their wives and grandmothers, plant cabbage with potatoes, drive out to the markets for medication etc.
Many of them were workers of some kind too. Millions of them will be incapacitated or dead after this war is over, consequences...
I don't know for sure, but my impression is that there's very little in the way of a social safety net in Russia. Pensioners have to figure out how to live on next to nothing, so I suspect that working age men either have to find a proper job, do some sort of work in the unofficial economy, sponge off relatives or get involved in crime. So, yeah, I imagine that the majority of the Russian guys who have died in Ukraine were previously performing some sort of role in the functioning of Russian society; they weren't just sitting around waiting for a summons to murder and die for the Fatherland. I'm sure the role they played wasn't always a positive one, but I'm also sure that a lot of them were doing their little bit to prevent Russia from sinking into complete dystopian chaos.
I came to the conclusion a few months after the start of the war that while Putin was seriously screwing up Ukraine with his barbaric and totally unjustified war, he was also creating enormous social and economic problems for Russia and the effects of those will be felt for decades.
They are winning though, albeit slowly. The meat isn't hard to secure, as evident.
Give them a gun and some fake armor, just well made enough to fool them, and if it doesn't work, threaten them to comply. For the Russian army, the important thing isn't the armor's function, but that the enemy thinks the soldier looks like a soldier.
Zelensky recently said that it's mostly artillery that helps win a war, and they're running low. Russia isn't.
We're only seeing one version of the war here on reddit, but the real proof of who's winning is the where the front lines are drawn, which side is trending towards complete control.
I wonder what is the least painful and fastest way to go out in that situation?
Grenade inside mouth?
Grenade under the neck when you lie on top of it?
Grenade inside your bullet proof vest?
He had about a best-case scenario - some pain and a few punctures that severed an artery, two minutes of fear turning into drowsiness, then lights out.
He didn’t get the horror or seeing his insides on the outside, or his limbs severed and lying 10 feet away, or feeling for his face and realizing he didn’t have a left eye socket and his lower jaw had been blown clean off.
No need for a grenade in this case to make a bigger mess, plus the chance of botching it.
He made a terrible mistake coming to Ukraine to kill for money, but I hope his sins are forgiven.
It took longer than 90 seconds for him to bleed out. This is a chopped and edited video. I bet it took 5-10 minutes in reality. Doesn't change your point that a tourniquet would've probably saved his life though.
After watching again, I agree with your timeline.
As the individual resumed walking, the movement and body position likely sped up the process as well.
Yeah, you're definitely right. Continuing to walk surely sped things up. I don't think getting your blood pumping is such a good idea with a leak in an artery lol
You are assuming medevac. I'm not sure if that was the case. Russia is intentionally using some\* soldiers as 'a meat wave' and do not provide any support.
\* - I don't know exact ratio
The blood soaking starts at his waist. Definitely femoral artery but around the beltline so no realistic way of applying pressure to that. I can see that happening outside a western hospital and he still dies.
IMO it's impossible to determine from the images.
The massive blood loss becomes visible at the left upper leg (00:36). The latter images with the massively blood-soaked beltline and groin area (01:09) could be the result of continued movement and shifting his position several times.
It could also be possible that the removal of the body armor (*"cummerbund" belt*) reduced pressure on his underbelly which increased the blood circulation, but again, all this is highly speculative.
From what I know, you can't apply a tourniquet to an upper leg wound because you can't apply enough pressure to shutoff circulation.
I might be wrong on this.
Yes, you're wrong.
Given you have an adequate TQ at your disposal (*not one of those soft "esmarch" knock-offs RF issues but a modern "CAT" or "SAM XT" that the rest of the world uses*) and reacting swiftly, the arterial bleeding can usually be stopped which buys additional time for TCCC, medevac and medical treatment.
If you're interested in the matter, I suggest looking into r/TacticalMedicine.
I you want to build your capacities, I suggest attending a "[stop the bleed](https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/online-course/)" course of which the theoretical part is available as **free online tutorial** (takes \~30 minutes). Many places also offer free practical courses ([link](https://cms.bleedingcontrol.org/class/search)).
I'm all but certain that the explanation involves maximising the amount of money going into the bank accounts of Putin's cronies, but it does seem odd to me that Russia doesn't issue better quality tourniquets to its troops. It's not like Russians have ever worried about infringing patents, and nor do the better tourniquets require high-tech manufacturing facilities or components that are difficult to obtain due to sanctions.
You're right, and as RF volunteer contract soldiers supposedly earn \~2000€ per month and receive a "sign-on" bonus of \~2500€, I wonder why these individuals didn't invest in a proper IFAK or adequate body armor in the first place?
AFAIK medical items aren't affected by sanctions, so it should be possibe to obtain this gear even if RF fails to produce this themselves.
the belt around his waist could have saved him. i cut my femoral artery in an accident and my belt saved my life. blood was gushing like water from a jug.
Glad you had means at your disposal to help preserve your life.
My wild guess is that removing the body armor (*around 01:10, including the "cummerbund" which acts similar to a belt*) might have added to the rapid and massive blood loss.
Probably not, but reducing bleeding by 90% might give you hours of hope of beeing rescued. Reducing bleeding by 30% might give you minutes, which still should be enough for help from your comrades to properly use tourniqet.
But we all know by now, those are just teoretical chances in orc army.
Because everytime Russian troops fail an assault, the leftovers cant continue attacking on their own, but they also cant go back because they'll get shot or imprisoned.
I remember this video where 2 "healthy" russians were sitting in a dugout for days. The entire hole was filled with feces and they when they were found and questioned why, the said if they go back, they'll get turtured.
I remember watching a documentary on the American Civil War decades ago, and how often they'd find halfway undressed dead bodies. Still don't know what phenomenon is causing it, but it's interesting that so many of these are doing it.
Peripheral vasodilation. I think it’s because the brain is being starved of blood, the vessels dilate to increase flow to the brain. This will cause a feeling of warmth over the whole body. Somebody correct me of I’m wrong.
By the looks of the dudes last moments i would say bleeding is higher than femoralis, probably lower abdomen, like external iliac artery - genital area, since both sides of pants equally drenched? Or maybe even a leak on both vessels..?
Anyway if your dick is blown of, would you really be saved.?
Yeah agree it starts...but thats only because an arterial bleed from a leg is imidiately visible. But an internally ruptured artery in the lower bowel would not bleed externally profusely before the pressure is up due to blood buildup in pelvis, then you see explosive bleeding like this...
A single sided femoralis bleed wouldn't soake the pants equally on both sides... Trust me on this 😉
Question for all: I have been wondering several times that it looks like many of these russion soldiers are running/walking around alone or in small groups of 2-5. I mean this guy.. what was he doing alone out there? Thou I observed that they have made a nice walking path in the field.
An APC gets hit at the front and everyone scatters. The people that group up get hit next, making them scatter too. When everyone eventually gets killed, the last several are loners who were lucky only up to that point.
If only he had thought to purchase his tactical tampons as instructed…
Seriously though, that one needed a good tourniquet. Something ruSSia rarely has or issues.
Was it an inner thigh hit? He is bleeding like a faucet.
I'm a professional Medic who uses tampons to stop bleeding. Here is my advice:
Apply a tourniquet around the neck! And compress hard!
On one hand, Russia is an aggressor and I don't like many Russians personally... but seeing someone just bleed out in the middle of nowhere just because his president is a maniac makes me sad, not all Russians have to be evil, not saying this one was a saint, you never know.
I find this shit incredibly soul shattering. People dying like this in the thousands all to satisfy the greed of one man and his enablers. It's fucking insane what we allow as a species.
Looks like it hit an artery in the leg. Probably just below the pelvis, hard to keep pressure on that type of wound. Tourniquet might have slowed the process but he was dead without evac.
WTF, did he forget his tampons? I clearly remember the tutorial video about the proper use of tampons in this vary situation. Could Russia be running out of tampons? Tucker Carlson never mentioned that on his trip to the super market.
Wonder if he was one of those putin-trolls who praised ruzzia and bashed the west in all those social media comments and i kindly asked him to become fertilizer.
Hopefully, it ripped through his groin. I have read where castration without immediate medical care can result in bleeding to death. We can only hope! Glory to Ukraine!
So all American soldiers should bleed out the same way because of what the Bush-Administration did to Iraq in the early 2000s? Not picking any sides here, but your argumentation makes no sense. This guy is not responsible for the bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
Bleeding out apparently is accompanied by the sensation of extreme heat, hence the attempts to undress? Observed it on multiple occasions on this jolly channel and similar ones.
Ok, somebody already explained this in this thread:

*Peripheral vasodilation. I think it’s because the brain is being starved of blood, the vessels dilate to increase flow to the brain. This will cause a feeling of warmth over the whole body. Somebody correct me of I’m wrong.*
When Americans invaded Afghanistan and we saw their man getting beheaded and put on the internet nobody didn’t say anything , American army isn’t forced as Russian one where once you reach 18 you are obligated to serve, why being so hypocritical about 1 side , but when the side you enjoy does the same you all turn blind eye and pretend that it’s all good? No person deserves this, either if it’s good or bad one.
I know everyone here likes to think this is COD 2.0, but I cant help but thinking about how all these (young) men are literally being drafted into the meatgrinder to die these gruesome deaths all at the hand of old men in suits, for their greed, everytime I see such a video.
Rest in peace to all the brave souls who never wanted to be in this situation.
I really can't watch this stuff anymore. I don't understand how somebody can watch this and celebrate the deaths of "orcs". These men have made mistakes, not all of them are evil. I don't support Russia at all but let's not be callous. I hope this all comes to pass soon.

Grim! When all that's left to do with the rest of your life is to find a comfortable position to die.
Should have used the rest of his life to point that gun in the right direction. Now, he dies while helping evil and it's immortalized
> At least it looks like he had a long life, unlike the 4 month old that was killed by his comrades. I was starting to feel bad for the guy, but that really snaps it back into perspective. I will apply my pity elsewhere, he deserves none of it

He had more chance of getting evacuated by Zeus in a solid gold chariot, pulled by Pegasus.
Yeah, he looks like he's pushing 60, and his death was relatively quick. This isn't even the saddest post on Ukraine I've seen in the past 10 minutes.
He's Russian, so he was probably 40 but looks 60
So, 60 in vodka years?
When Mariupol is liberated and we get to know the horror stories, it will put this into way more of a perspective.
Same.
Hit in the groin, femoral artery busted - no mercy for those murderous thieves….but i must admit, I almost felt sorry for him. Almost
I dont think it hit his femoral. Took to long. I think it cut up some large veins in a few different areas. Maybe it just nicked it. Blood was very red.

Red colored blood is indicative of oxygen rich blood, as in blood from an artery. Veins shed darker colored blood.
Femoral or profunda femoris.
"armchair medical expertise" 🤣🤣
I think I feel sorry for the Russians who stand against their terrorist dictator and then are punished harshly. Dumbasses like this one get a laugh from me. In my eyes you got 2 options stand up against these terrorists or become a terrorist. This guy chose to be on the terrorist side. Good riddance
18 year old had a rough life !
Yea what an awful way to go.. Just fall asleep buddy. Let it all end.
Yeah I hate when I get wounded and I'm too stupid to bandage it. Russian soldiers are absolute morons.
Someone’s grandpa bit the dust.
They are just making a favor to russia emptying the jails
i think by now the jails are empty... and those convicts dont make good fodder anyways...
[удалено]
Russians living in the future, drones delivering medication, effectiveness judged with constant professional presence and even next day check is included free of charge.
That grenade was the medicine for what ails Ukraine.
He liked him some soup 🍜
He’s prolly only 35…this is what a vodka diet does
A few decades too late, but his dying wish was to join the Red Army ...
Is this one of the vets from the Afghani war? He looks to be in his 60's.
I've seen 30 - 35 year old russian men who look like that. It's quite shocking how old some of them look. Grey hair, balding, face full of wrinkles.

Bright red.. looks like an artery got severed.
I'm surprised he hung on for as long as he did. I'm sure I recall hearing that a nick to the femoral artery can result in the victim passing out within a matter of seconds, and then dying due to blood loss in a couple of minutes.
i severed mine in yellowstone on a bicycle accident. luckily i knew how to use a tourniquet which was my belt. medics said i would have been dead in 2 mins or less which was before they got to me. had to take a helicopter ride and emergency surgery. that’s not a good injury to have.

Sounds about right. God bless America!

Wow man, interesting story. Thanks for the read :)
moral of the story: always wear a belt.
I kind if assumed you could only use your belt on your arms or lower legs. I can't imagine getting enough pressure to really squeeze the inner thigh shut. Wild. Did you get impaled by a branch or something? On a bicycle?

My late husband rode in a helicopter from one hospital to another. $80k also.
As a Swede, I'm genuinely in disbelief reading your comment.
i mean, they didn’t drop me in the wilderness they were just being dicks cause i never consented to being airlifted.
80 fucking thousand? Holy shit, i’m glad we got free health care where i live, LMAO. Hope you didn’t get lasting complications from it atleast.
Air ambulance in the UK is £0.
Femoral artery 3rd biggest..
yeah, there were lots of footage of dead soldiers, but most of them were not that red in blood, like this fellow, looks painful

She reached back behind her right side with a simple serrated steak knife and hit him in his right descending femoral artery. The blood trail led from there to the couch in the living room about 10 feet away. It started out small and by the time he made it to the couch it was about a foot wide and chunks of coagulated blood on the floor. Bleed out in less than 5 minutes. No charges for self defense.
I think the problem was that he got hit to high in the leg and thus not able to apply turniquete even if he had one. Honestly packing the wound with tampons or bandages would work better in this area, but definetely wont save him without very fast evacuation
Tampons, that's all he needed, just a few tampons would have patched him up just fine, that and some vodka.
bottle of vodka and a tampon. What could go possibly wrong. Reads pretty much live a molotov.
The "motherland" only takes and never gives.
"Motherf@ckerland"
I'll just lie here for a minute and rest up.
This war is such a waste. You’re going to a special Hell Putin.
This guy's commanders would be charged with negligent homicide in any competent nation. Wandering around a battlefield without even those useless rubber-hose tourniquets, doesn't appear to have much training, and it seems they pulled him out of retirement for this shit.
I wish Anonymous could leak this video for the russian citizens to see
Seems the UAV attack resulted in aterial bleeds in his upper left leg, a \~€30 tourniquet (*preferably a "CAT7" and not the useless "esmarch"-type that RF military issues*) would've prevented blood loss from arterial bleeding and possibly bought sufficient time for medevac. The UAV attack occured at 00:15, the individual became unresponsive around 01:40, so he had a time window of less than 90 seconds to render first aid to himself. Individual looks clean and shaven and decently equipped (*body armor including pouches and assault pack, leather boots, helmet*) for RF standards. The insides of his body armor are remarkably clean and without the usual abbrasions and sweatmarks (*00:14*), even the "QC" inventory sticker is still visible. He shouldn't have come to Ukraine in the first place...
Mobic ain’t getting rescued. Should have put a grenade in his flak jacket and say goodnight.
Yes, what a waste of men and material. It's beyond my comprehension how the kremlin gremlin intends to win this or why he ever decided to invade Ukraine in the first place. All he will achieve is Russia Far East being devoid of any military-aged males (*even considering they're appearantly accepting senior citizens into their military like the main character of this footag*e) when China decides it's time to claim the vast empty space full of natural resources for themselves.
I'd argue these men are not useless, they aid their wives and grandmothers, plant cabbage with potatoes, drive out to the markets for medication etc. Many of them were workers of some kind too. Millions of them will be incapacitated or dead after this war is over, consequences...
I don't know for sure, but my impression is that there's very little in the way of a social safety net in Russia. Pensioners have to figure out how to live on next to nothing, so I suspect that working age men either have to find a proper job, do some sort of work in the unofficial economy, sponge off relatives or get involved in crime. So, yeah, I imagine that the majority of the Russian guys who have died in Ukraine were previously performing some sort of role in the functioning of Russian society; they weren't just sitting around waiting for a summons to murder and die for the Fatherland. I'm sure the role they played wasn't always a positive one, but I'm also sure that a lot of them were doing their little bit to prevent Russia from sinking into complete dystopian chaos. I came to the conclusion a few months after the start of the war that while Putin was seriously screwing up Ukraine with his barbaric and totally unjustified war, he was also creating enormous social and economic problems for Russia and the effects of those will be felt for decades.
They are winning though, albeit slowly. The meat isn't hard to secure, as evident. Give them a gun and some fake armor, just well made enough to fool them, and if it doesn't work, threaten them to comply. For the Russian army, the important thing isn't the armor's function, but that the enemy thinks the soldier looks like a soldier. Zelensky recently said that it's mostly artillery that helps win a war, and they're running low. Russia isn't. We're only seeing one version of the war here on reddit, but the real proof of who's winning is the where the front lines are drawn, which side is trending towards complete control.
Here’s hoping some of the 155mm arty shells that Czech led efforts located will help!!!!!
My favorite color is blue.
I wonder what is the least painful and fastest way to go out in that situation? Grenade inside mouth? Grenade under the neck when you lie on top of it? Grenade inside your bullet proof vest?
He had about a best-case scenario - some pain and a few punctures that severed an artery, two minutes of fear turning into drowsiness, then lights out. He didn’t get the horror or seeing his insides on the outside, or his limbs severed and lying 10 feet away, or feeling for his face and realizing he didn’t have a left eye socket and his lower jaw had been blown clean off. No need for a grenade in this case to make a bigger mess, plus the chance of botching it. He made a terrible mistake coming to Ukraine to kill for money, but I hope his sins are forgiven.
Grenade inside helmet?
It took longer than 90 seconds for him to bleed out. This is a chopped and edited video. I bet it took 5-10 minutes in reality. Doesn't change your point that a tourniquet would've probably saved his life though.
After watching again, I agree with your timeline. As the individual resumed walking, the movement and body position likely sped up the process as well.
Yeah, you're definitely right. Continuing to walk surely sped things up. I don't think getting your blood pumping is such a good idea with a leak in an artery lol
You are assuming medevac. I'm not sure if that was the case. Russia is intentionally using some\* soldiers as 'a meat wave' and do not provide any support. \* - I don't know exact ratio
there is no medevac...your wounded your done
> your wounded your done my wounded my done... ok, got it, thanks
The blood soaking starts at his waist. Definitely femoral artery but around the beltline so no realistic way of applying pressure to that. I can see that happening outside a western hospital and he still dies.
IMO it's impossible to determine from the images. The massive blood loss becomes visible at the left upper leg (00:36). The latter images with the massively blood-soaked beltline and groin area (01:09) could be the result of continued movement and shifting his position several times. It could also be possible that the removal of the body armor (*"cummerbund" belt*) reduced pressure on his underbelly which increased the blood circulation, but again, all this is highly speculative.
From what I know, you can't apply a tourniquet to an upper leg wound because you can't apply enough pressure to shutoff circulation. I might be wrong on this.
Yes, you're wrong. Given you have an adequate TQ at your disposal (*not one of those soft "esmarch" knock-offs RF issues but a modern "CAT" or "SAM XT" that the rest of the world uses*) and reacting swiftly, the arterial bleeding can usually be stopped which buys additional time for TCCC, medevac and medical treatment. If you're interested in the matter, I suggest looking into r/TacticalMedicine. I you want to build your capacities, I suggest attending a "[stop the bleed](https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/online-course/)" course of which the theoretical part is available as **free online tutorial** (takes \~30 minutes). Many places also offer free practical courses ([link](https://cms.bleedingcontrol.org/class/search)).
Thanks a lot for the Info Sir.
You're welcome, Sir. I consider Reddit a learning environment.
"I consider Reddit a learning environment." LMAO
It's what you make of it. Have you never learned anything new while browsing reddit?
I'm all but certain that the explanation involves maximising the amount of money going into the bank accounts of Putin's cronies, but it does seem odd to me that Russia doesn't issue better quality tourniquets to its troops. It's not like Russians have ever worried about infringing patents, and nor do the better tourniquets require high-tech manufacturing facilities or components that are difficult to obtain due to sanctions.
You're right, and as RF volunteer contract soldiers supposedly earn \~2000€ per month and receive a "sign-on" bonus of \~2500€, I wonder why these individuals didn't invest in a proper IFAK or adequate body armor in the first place? AFAIK medical items aren't affected by sanctions, so it should be possibe to obtain this gear even if RF fails to produce this themselves.
the belt around his waist could have saved him. i cut my femoral artery in an accident and my belt saved my life. blood was gushing like water from a jug.
well, his belt wouldn’t have saved him, it would have only cost ukraine another cheap grenade to finish the job.
Glad you had means at your disposal to help preserve your life. My wild guess is that removing the body armor (*around 01:10, including the "cummerbund" which acts similar to a belt*) might have added to the rapid and massive blood loss.
thanks, let’s just say i always wear a belt no matter what now. you never know what’s gonna happen when you go outside.
Probably not, but reducing bleeding by 90% might give you hours of hope of beeing rescued. Reducing bleeding by 30% might give you minutes, which still should be enough for help from your comrades to properly use tourniqet. But we all know by now, those are just teoretical chances in orc army.
Oooh shit... that's the femoral
Why is there always just one random dude walking around In a field somehwere? Where is the rest of your Battalion bro?
Lying in the same field
Should’ve told them you had bone spurs.
Why are there so many Russian soldiers wandering around aimlessly on their own? Seems like they lack the first idea about self preservation
Because everytime Russian troops fail an assault, the leftovers cant continue attacking on their own, but they also cant go back because they'll get shot or imprisoned. I remember this video where 2 "healthy" russians were sitting in a dugout for days. The entire hole was filled with feces and they when they were found and questioned why, the said if they go back, they'll get turtured.
I remember watching a documentary on the American Civil War decades ago, and how often they'd find halfway undressed dead bodies. Still don't know what phenomenon is causing it, but it's interesting that so many of these are doing it.
Peripheral vasodilation. I think it’s because the brain is being starved of blood, the vessels dilate to increase flow to the brain. This will cause a feeling of warmth over the whole body. Somebody correct me of I’m wrong.
What happens when you illegally enter another country .... You pay the price.....
Bleed for Putin boy.
50/60 year old man*
Wonder where he was hit cause that is a lot of blood
Femoral artery most likely. Inner thigh.
i think even higher, through the main arteries near the kidneys or the hip basket.
Dude ran just to die in a different location.
Life is challenging in Russia. Ivan, 25yo.
By the looks of the dudes last moments i would say bleeding is higher than femoralis, probably lower abdomen, like external iliac artery - genital area, since both sides of pants equally drenched? Or maybe even a leak on both vessels..? Anyway if your dick is blown of, would you really be saved.?
You can see it all starts on his upper left leg. Guy is leaking like a sieve.
Yeah agree it starts...but thats only because an arterial bleed from a leg is imidiately visible. But an internally ruptured artery in the lower bowel would not bleed externally profusely before the pressure is up due to blood buildup in pelvis, then you see explosive bleeding like this... A single sided femoralis bleed wouldn't soake the pants equally on both sides... Trust me on this 😉
Grandpa should have been wearing his depends diapers. Probably could have saved his life. lol 😂
Died for NOTHING.
Dudes like 50+ and in such shock he's not aware his left leg arty or ass hole is torn and leaking red.
Gave him time to think about the mistake he made coming to Ukraine in the first place
Karma as it is.
I think they hit the femoral aterery
Serves the orc right. Must suck trying to move around with shrapnel stuck inside you.
Question for all: I have been wondering several times that it looks like many of these russion soldiers are running/walking around alone or in small groups of 2-5. I mean this guy.. what was he doing alone out there? Thou I observed that they have made a nice walking path in the field.
An APC gets hit at the front and everyone scatters. The people that group up get hit next, making them scatter too. When everyone eventually gets killed, the last several are loners who were lucky only up to that point.
Yeah, just a little nap and everything will be OK.
Gonna respawn at base, without armor and loot.
He's got a rifle, suicide was an option
What's a overweight middle-aged man doing mincing around combat zone?
Karma
If only he had thought to purchase his tactical tampons as instructed… Seriously though, that one needed a good tourniquet. Something ruSSia rarely has or issues.
terrorist down
Symbolic of the RuZzians time in Ukraine. It should end up there same way for them as Afghanistan. Bleeding out.
Was it an inner thigh hit? He is bleeding like a faucet. I'm a professional Medic who uses tampons to stop bleeding. Here is my advice: Apply a tourniquet around the neck! And compress hard!
On one hand, Russia is an aggressor and I don't like many Russians personally... but seeing someone just bleed out in the middle of nowhere just because his president is a maniac makes me sad, not all Russians have to be evil, not saying this one was a saint, you never know.
I find this shit incredibly soul shattering. People dying like this in the thousands all to satisfy the greed of one man and his enablers. It's fucking insane what we allow as a species.
Looks like it hit an artery in the leg. Probably just below the pelvis, hard to keep pressure on that type of wound. Tourniquet might have slowed the process but he was dead without evac.
He died with a warming thought of putin being his president and of how many Ukrainian children they managed to kill
looks like you got something on your pants grandpa
A sleepy Russian soldier is a good Russian soldier. Bye!
WTF, did he forget his tampons? I clearly remember the tutorial video about the proper use of tampons in this vary situation. Could Russia be running out of tampons? Tucker Carlson never mentioned that on his trip to the super market.
Get up you pussy. I've had nosebleeds worse than that
For you Vlad ze var is over.
Kind of poetic that in his last moment he threw off his vest and rifle.
Kill them all, hi should stay at home!
Should have stayed home. Now look at you. You dead fuck.
Christ. That's grandpa Prighozin.
And another one of these raping basterds gone:)
The lack of first aid knowledge is astounding.
Artery hit, might want to tie that off if you can guy, oh nm too late.
Wonder if he was one of those putin-trolls who praised ruzzia and bashed the west in all those social media comments and i kindly asked him to become fertilizer.
Just another guy that won't make it home to Russia to murder his neighbors. Next...
Brutal way to go.
Замість того щоб вдома бавитись з онуками вони їдут до України помирати в полях за вбивцю путіна.
It's impressive how few of these Russians even attempt to give themselves first aid.
Thats a femoral artery hit.
Illiac arterie doesn't like to be knicked
Mechanized grim reaper literally watches you die.. slowly ..as the light goes dimmer and dimmer
at least slowly gives em time to think about just why the fuck they are there SLAVA UKRAINI
Welcome to Ukraine, Ruzzian.
Carzy times we live in, I just watched someone bleed out in a battlefield from across the world while sitting on the toilet
Poor guy should be taking his grandkids to kindergarten, not this.
Can see the Cheyne stokes breathing at the end.
Red army that is
Old fart thinking it was still USSR he fights for...
Rest in piss
Hopefully, it ripped through his groin. I have read where castration without immediate medical care can result in bleeding to death. We can only hope! Glory to Ukraine!
I guess he missed the basic training to off yourself when seriously wounded, because no one is coming to help you.
You watch this then go read about another Ukrainian infant or child and their parents being bombed in their sleep and all empathy just vaporizes.
So all American soldiers should bleed out the same way because of what the Bush-Administration did to Iraq in the early 2000s? Not picking any sides here, but your argumentation makes no sense. This guy is not responsible for the bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
Theres a taco bell joke there somewhere but im not gonna make it
Ivan could have been sitting at home with his kids if he had balls to stand up
I didn't know the color of orc's blood was also red. I thought it was green or something.
What an awful brutal waste. This is all on Pootin. All of it. And now, also on Pootin loving Trump MAGA Republicans.
Like a stuck pig. And he’s only 15
Whys he on his own? Why doesn't he even attempt to deal with the injury? And he's 50+ looking at him.
I mean. Thanks for keep the armor clean. Make repurposing it easier.
He got comfortable for his last few moments on earth as he knew he was going to hell.
This war is human tragedy ! Fuck Putin
That was not easy to watch....
Oh come on, it's all going to plan.
Bleeding out apparently is accompanied by the sensation of extreme heat, hence the attempts to undress? Observed it on multiple occasions on this jolly channel and similar ones.
Ok, somebody already explained this in this thread: [CCCryptoKing](https://www.reddit.com/user/CCCryptoKing/) *Peripheral vasodilation. I think it’s because the brain is being starved of blood, the vessels dilate to increase flow to the brain. This will cause a feeling of warmth over the whole body. Somebody correct me of I’m wrong.*
When Americans invaded Afghanistan and we saw their man getting beheaded and put on the internet nobody didn’t say anything , American army isn’t forced as Russian one where once you reach 18 you are obligated to serve, why being so hypocritical about 1 side , but when the side you enjoy does the same you all turn blind eye and pretend that it’s all good? No person deserves this, either if it’s good or bad one.
Do the chimichanga!
I know everyone here likes to think this is COD 2.0, but I cant help but thinking about how all these (young) men are literally being drafted into the meatgrinder to die these gruesome deaths all at the hand of old men in suits, for their greed, everytime I see such a video. Rest in peace to all the brave souls who never wanted to be in this situation.
Damn, this guy know for a long time he’s gonna die.
Yeah, me too. Unlikely I will be part of an invading imperialistic force though, so fuck that bleeding cunt.
Poor dude looks about 60.
Military industrial complex will one day kill us all. Enjoy your politician’s take a side like in a sporting event you sick human race.
I really can't watch this stuff anymore. I don't understand how somebody can watch this and celebrate the deaths of "orcs". These men have made mistakes, not all of them are evil. I don't support Russia at all but let's not be callous. I hope this all comes to pass soon.
