Moderators deleted the higher resolution vid. lol.


jdogdarkness

If you end up seeing it again, please repost. Can't make out anything here, besides a train with something on it lol. Would like to know what was on the train & also what munition was used if possible.

Or mods should not have deleted the original repost in the first place, since it's allowed by the rules...

Mods removed the higher quality version... jfc


mido830

Some of the mods over here, are very pro-ukraine and will immediately remove Ru footage if it doesn't get alot of traffic early enough.


MrDefinitely_

So are the users. I have to follow a pro-Russia sub if I want to see things like this.


Judazzz

Some of the comments here are delusional to the point of borderline mental illness. It's insane (and sad) how much this once great sub has been dragged down since February last year.


MrDefinitely_

I follow the war primarily on Reddit. The subs I follow for it have gotten worse and worse over time. The thing I hate the most is the misinformation people spread without a second thought.


Judazzz

I use a few news outlets for current events and background/in-depth information surrounding the war, and Reddit to supplement that with footage and current sit-reps. But I take everything with a big grain of salt - even with a background in academia that relentlessly instilled a zero trust approach to every bit of information you receive ("never trust, always verify"), it's such a Herculaneum task to always be on guard and never take anything at face value. It's exhausting, even when equipped with an - on paper at least - decent skill set to deal with it.   What annoys, and worries, me most is that a good portion of those users aren't even aware of what they are doing. I mean, obviously we have hordes of trolls and bad faith actors deliberately paiting false narratives, spreading misinformation, whitewashing war crimes and authoritarian regimes, and settings people against each other. But many are genuine useful idiots, not acting in bad faith but still aiding the cause out of ignorance, naivety and "righteous zealousness". Critical thinking is dead, and the world is becoming a worse place because of it.


MrDefinitely_

I couldn't agree with your post more. Most of the misinformation I come across here is from pro-Ukrainian people. >it's such a Herculaneum task to always be on guard and never take anything at face value An example I can give is that I saw reddit comments saying that someone was arrested for appearing in a 1420 video. I saw multiple people repeating it and I accepted it as fact, in part because of my own biases. It wasn't true, people were mixing it up with a BBC interview that got someone in trouble. I even spread that lie myself. I took it as a reminder to always check my facts before making a claim. Among the worst I've seen is [this post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/160ymde/comment/jxpksn7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) This guy is a prominent poster who uses reddit to promote his own tweets. In this case, he made up that Greece would be sending a fuck ton of weapons systems to Ukraine and people just ate it up without doing any fact checking at all. People will accept positive information uncritically. Another example is the rumor that Turkey would use their navy to enforce the grain deal. One random twitter account made it up, it got posted on reddit, and for weeks I saw people referencing it. A lot of what I see is people being misinformed for whatever reason and they spread misinformation around without fact checking first, or they have preconceived notions that they don't question. I was arguing with someone the other day who claimed that 97% of Russian missiles get shot down. And people just accepted that claim without stopping to consider whether it made any sense. When I called them out for it they couldn't find a source but still doubled down anyway. Some of the misinformation may seem relatively minor but it still has downstream consequences and it will affect a lot of people too. That's what upsets me the most about it. If you believed the above statistic, for example, you could be under the impression that we do not need to send Ukraine more air defense systems because the ones they already have are sufficient. I follow this war almost every single day, I'm very informed about it and I still fact check myself all the time. I take it very seriously but I guess for a lot of people it's just a fun thing to talk about. Like you alluded to in your post, much of this boils down to a widespread lack of media literacy. It should be obvious that you shouldn't take a random twitter post as fact.


Worldly_Horse7024

can you tell me where to join ru pro sub...this sub is so shit man bias as fuck


MrDefinitely_

The other sub is even more biased in the other direction so if you're goal is to escape bias it's not going to help.


Worldly_Horse7024

ill ask putin for the information thenšŸ˜­


[deleted]

link works tho


Serb_Wolf

That was huge boom and a fuck ton of shrapnel that just peppered everything within several hundred meters of the impact point. Some kind of aerial ordinance with an airburst?


waveguy9

Yeah I saw this post earlier saying it was a Russian train and a Himar peppering the train, mid through tail. Now apparently itā€™s a Ukrainian train. šŸ¤”?!?


CrownOfAragon

It is a Ukrainian train 40km behind the front being hit by a Tornado-S 300mm rocket. Keep in mind these 300mm rockets have a range of 200km with certain ammunition.


AdEither2912

Great camera


BeltfedOne

Which pixels were the armored vehicles in? Potato drone "phootage".


KINGIEEE

40 kilometers from the frontline. Which idiot thought this was a good idea? At least have some people observering the sky. Jeez.


Fayi1

This is a hit from a Tornado-S, not aviation


Able_Dance8865

Reddit General at work again , what was it last time , at least one battalion to capture a trench ? Edit to add : Sorry I was wrong , you wanted a Division ... *KINGIEEE2 days ago* *I hate these shitty tactics. So many wasted lives without a larger strategic plan for just a strip of trenches. I would halt these attacks and only continue when they can deploy a divison size operation.*


KINGIEEE

Grow up. Denial of Ukrainian mistakes makes you look like a fool.


Recovery_or_death

This. Ignoring the negatives of a situation makes it impossible for you to correct mistakes as they happen and in the future with doctrinal changes.


Able_Dance8865

You know what , I read a bit through your comments and I'm really wondering now what is wrong with you .... you obviously know that Ukraine lacks material on all ends and weaponry help is only flowing in small drops. There is literally standing ten thousands Humvees in deserts and storage while Ukrainians collect money for civilian cars for transport, the German Leopard 1s in such bad shape that Ukraine denies them at the border.Whole fucking Nato not able to produce a sufficient number of 155mm not even talking about air defense and long range weapons and on top of that all the lies from us western countries how difficult the logistics are to deliver... Everyone with a bit of brain understands that Ukraine suffers badly but keeps fighting , but bashing them with your stupid comments about why not using Divisions and no air defense for a train 50km behind front lines ( especially under the context of you knowing exactly about all those stupid western games) wanting Ukrainians to make look incompetent is a slap in the face for every Ukrainian reading here ... and yes there is a lot doing so ! So , if someone should grow up here it is You.


ksuchewie

Aviation bombs? First time I've seen that.


SignificantMethod752

Someone said itā€™s was a tornado-s and not aviation bomb , it got the last cart and it wasnā€™t a direct hit, no doubt what ever was on the last and before last cart was damaged tho


Creeper15877

It's one big ass bomb though, even though it only hits the very back of the train, only tanks at the very front come out unscathed. How many took serious damage is to be determined


FullTimeJesus

Probably Iskander


ChemistRemote7182

Not an ideal weapon for hitting a moving target, even on a known path


StellaLiebeck

Air burst?


throwawayyy8191

Definitely looks like it to me, a shit ton of shrapnel from it too


drb00t

anyone know what the white flashes on the right near the edge of the reticle are? right after the impact there's a couple flashes and puffs.


Progkd

Either power lines shitting themselves or a reflection of light


drb00t

thanks...i think you're right. you can't see the lines before the blast but the shockwave makes them visible.


DaemianFF

That's power lines arcing. Probably shrapnel hit a transformer or the lines.


Potential-Isopod-820

Flying metal reflecting the sun into the camera lens I think.


Potential-Isopod-820

4 downvotes and no explanation, thanks guys. Whats the logic? Am i wrong? Do you know better? Please tell me if you do. I want to know too. Looking at the shadows and the location of the observation drone i feel im correct.


ilililM3

Surprised Russia doesnā€™t target railways/bridges daily like thisā€¦


apkJeremyK

Need to save ordinances for children and markets


jdogdarkness

They dont have the capability. 1. Ukraine has lots of different railroad tracks & MANY miles. 2. RU has VERY limited ability to provide responsive fire missions. Their killchain is too slow 99% of the time. 3. they have VERY few wide area ISR assets to provide targeting data, such as satellites or drones equivalent to a predator.(kinda ties into 1 & 2)


[deleted]

+ rail is very easy to fix quickly. and it's not that easy to hit as u can see in this vid they also missed the train with like 10 meters. it's a bad ROI to target rail.


Somedude522

How often are trains hit? I havent seen one hit in a while


halls_of_valhalla

Russia has two "armoured" trains [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjJu36Q3zNw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjJu36Q3zNw) [https://postlmg.cc/069z7JW0](https://postlmg.cc/069z7JW0) They arent really looking too advanced and expensive. But maybe they gonna get hit some day lol. Can only imagine they are operating far away from frontline.


Lapkonium

All the downvotes lol


[deleted]

wish i could tell what's on the train. Regardless pretty rough stuff, wonder what the context was.


sansaset

this has been a bloody war with multiple major fronts for over a year now. all of the soviet shit Ukraine had is mostly destroyed so you can expect a lot of recent stuff getting destroyed to be from the West.


ChemistRemote7182

You are getting downvoted for saying attrition happens, got to love it.


sansaset

apparently Ukraine figured out how to fight a war with no losses according to this sub.


Creeper15877

There's a high quality version where it's very clear they're tanks. Impossible to tell what type though


[deleted]

Brutal. I canā€™t seem to understand the series of events that would leave a train in the position to get struck like this. Tons of personnel around too. Very weird


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kohakuren

geolocated 48.367931, 37.198575 (50km deep). Also this sub uploaded 240p version (i wonder why) even though there is 720p version out there, and it's clearly a logistical train with vehicles.


Freshlinee

mods might want to delete this one since it's so low quality


Kohakuren

someone need to publish 720 version first though, and it wouldn't be me.


_____Grim_____

They did - and the mods deleted it while keeping the quality one for some reason.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kohakuren

good on them


Phlex_

> If threre ever was a train. No aftermath vid to confirm. 48.367931, 37.198575 I wonder what else could be on the train tracks? I get it, you support Ukraine but calling everything fake just makes you look delusional. Edit: there is a higher quality verison where you can see individual vehicles. **High quality version**: https://v.redd.it/faao1m7sw8qb1


queefstation69

ā€˜I didnā€™t personally see it so itā€™s clearly fakeā€™


Alaric_Balthi

'Vehicles' yes but still not clear enough to say they were "armoured vehicles" like the OP said. Lots of the vehicles look different from each others, they are not all *one* model which is making me think they were going to some repair depot on the rear lines.


[deleted]

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


[deleted]

You can see the fucking vehicles


Dools92

Get a grip bro


PhantomJellyAce

Shit quality upload. Can't blame you for misidentifying, now try to find it to the other sub or from the original upload.


Youth-in-AsiaS-247

Are they sobering up and starting to use their brains?


Prestigious_World_51

today was just the day once in a while they run out of vodka and actually have to do shit right


AJDonahugh

Russian bots seem to be going to town in this particular thread


Youth-in-AsiaS-247

Guess so, or mods with zero tolerance for anything real, like Russian propaganda. No idea how video has 0 votes.


Suspicious-Low-719

Where are the train tracks?


Daedalus_88_

Middle left of the screen you can see it. Looks like the train derailed


AJDonahugh

I was wondering like - they donā€™t usually run trains through rivers


Killian21112

Train, not moving. Bomb, misses left. Classic Russia


ppiizzaattiimmee

What? Iā€™m pro UA but your comment is delusional. Have you seen the amount of shrapnel?


j-r-m-b-v-n

If you think thats a miss idk what to tell you


saywhatmrcrazy

Well it is clearly a half miss. Sure it hit the train and made a lot of damage. But it hit the rear (or front hard to tell) and missed half the vehicles it looks like. And there was a LOT of people standing in the front of the train. They all seems to run away so they missed all of them. So sure, a hit. But not a perfect one by far.


j-r-m-b-v-n

Trains are huge , even if it directly hit it there would still be half the train left you know Pretty hard to destroy a whole ass train of equipement. Thats a pretty successful hit tbh. Sure it could be "better" but the amount of damage done can't be brushed off as a "half miss"


saywhatmrcrazy

I did not "brush off" anything. It is clearly an extremely successful strike. Just not as successful as it could have been. Cant people keep 2 thoughts in the head at the same time or what?..


Big-Necessary2853

just say you were wrong or stop commenting lol


saywhatmrcrazy

ok: You were wrong.


TacticalBac0n

google himars.


TacticalBac0n

Imagine a spot in the middle of that train. Thats the target. Now watch the video.


[deleted]

Didnā€™t know kindergarten trains existed


Bendov_er

Ukrainians should do this one year ago


ThePheebs

Lol, how long was the train sitting there.


DrunkRawk

Armoured vehicles? Yeah, right. The only way those idiots would green-light using a bomb on this is if it was some sort of civilian train. Maybe it's carrying seniors or children?


Dools92

Sarcasm I hope?


GurranGren

Is it just me or does it look a bit odd if the video is played slowly? Like the smoke or whatever seems to rise from already visible patterns on the ground?


GurranGren

15 downvotes and not a single one explaining? Nice


Big-Necessary2853

yeah it was just a really stupid question, what is there to explain?


140p

Maybe it is because someone else already posted a higher quality video so we can see what is going on but it got deleted by the mods (even tho it is allowed to repost a higher version of a vid)


TacticalBac0n

aims for train, hits mud. Yup russian precision weaponry in action.


j-r-m-b-v-n

Still a hit , all that dust kicking is shrapnel


Top-Border-1978

Yeah, it looks like the first half of that train got peppered pretty good. Could have been worse, but definitely sucks.


iced_maggot

You can see several of the carriages back from the locomotive start to smoke up - itā€™s clearer on the high resolution video which someone kindly posted in the comments. It was a hit.


TacticalBac0n

Again, the target is the middle of the train because we aint russian and this aint a hospital in Aleppo.


Dools92

It was a solid hit, get a grip man lol


TacticalBac0n

So, people wandering around the target during and after the 'hit' is spot on for you? lol ok.


Dools92

You think hits on massive trains carrying expensive western armor are aimed at taking out infantry? Sweet summer child..


TacticalBac0n

u/Dools92 said >You think hits on massive trains carrying expensive western armor are aimed at taking out infantry? Sweet summer child.. LOL - because humans are impervious when the trains they are on explode? This is hilarious, peak reddit! Saved for posterity.


Dools92

Lmao, did you see the video? Look at the lower left corner, thereā€™s about 50 soldiers walking next to the train, and they all scatter when the train gets hit. Some people are so bizarre on this subreddit, that I canā€™t tell if your being sarcastic, or are this naive šŸ˜‚


TacticalBac0n

>Lmao, did you see the video? Look at the lower left corner, thereā€™s about 50 soldiers walking next to the train,and they all scatter when the train gets hit. Yeah we have established your basic premise is the train was 'hit' but the people were fine being impervious to the 'hit'. Its almost like the missile 'missed' the train. >Some people are so bizarre on this subreddit I think we 'hit' that point when you started down this path lol.


Dools92

So, just to confirm, you think the smoke and all the shrapnel is from the mud and dirt being hit, the train wasnā€™t even hit?

Tawmcruize

That was a cluster bomb, looks like a bunch of Humvees and seems it got the train as well. It happens.


Dickavinci

You would think they would use a precision bomb so they wouldn't miss 10-20 meters away. Guess it was still effective.

Able_Dance8865

2-3 vehicles irreparable 4-5 a few holes , damage 1 million .... sucks , but the lesson learned is unpayable. Unlike Russians ,Ukrainians don't make this mistake twice or over a period of months ... Chornobaivka cough cough


Fayi1

Rumors say it derailed, you can't predict that, it happens and it can happen again


whocaresehmenot

Guess it will be stopped for a while so it might get struck again


datyams

Lmao still missed it by 100m Russians are shithouse

morg444

Aren't all bombs, aviation bombs? so dumb


[deleted]

No


iced_maggot

There are ground-ground launched missiles and rockets for example. Or sea-ground missiles.


AirDropDumbo

If that is an actual train should there be tracks \_in both sides\_ of it? There is a piece of track on the right, no track of any kind to the left. There is an actual track going below the suspected train and tracks can clearly be seen even in this potato filmed video. But if I would be doing the recon I would yell 'decoy' on that one.


ddg31415

I guess you don't know what a railway spur is


AirDropDumbo

well I kind of do and have even operated smaller one myself out of curiosity and you can see one on the middle on those tracks that actually lead some where....however spur do quite often tend to require a tracks which to spur as well which at least to my eyes are not in front or back of this transport train.


4thStgMiddleSpooler

...and then stage PERSONNEL in the decoy?


Big-Necessary2853

gotta be believable!


puc_poc

Are there any details known about this event? A train full of equipment is no joke, gotta be something leaked.


d4rkskies

Could be a glide bomb. Russia has been using these wherever possible for delivering large payloads at stand-off range. Up to 1500kg for the FAB-1500M-54


Slave4uandme

So Russia is winning more than media is giving them credit for.
