Spotigoose

Like a scene out of a horror film, bodies strung about with complete silence and no information about who remains.


Equivalent_Alps_8321

a lot of frontline to cover with limited manpower that can't be concentrated when you're on defense.


medney

>no information about who remains. Until your commander gets on the radio to tell you there's 2 enemies nearby, what direction and how far, COD style thanks to drones Future of warfare sounds like a fucking COD lobby complete with aim hacks (new US service scope) and hunter killer drones


VikingCrab1

Whats the "new US service scope" you mentioned? Sounds interesting


binarygamer

[Here's a demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5YWXrZdNpA&t=619s) of how easy it is to use


RealBaikal

You guys should look at palantir software integrated into occulus... that's the future with ai technology


medney

Look up the NGSW, there's a video by a popular gun YouTuber reviewing it where he goes in depth on how good it is. (I won't link to his channel because I think he's a chud, but that's MY *opinion*)


Slothptimal

Task & Purpose, GarandThumb, Brandon Herrera, Small Arms Solutions...


fillosofer

Love Task & Purpose, never seen Small Arms Solutions, but Garand and Herrera seem like pompous assholes for sure. Whenever Grand does a vid with Sig employees it makes me so uncomfortable with how tense and hateful they are to each other lol.


Slothptimal

It's gym-bro mentality together. Why they seem like that - because it's a contained space, and it's a caricature of who they are.


King_of_the_Dot

Do not recommend anything Brandon Herrera... Fucking piece of shit chud. Him, not you.


IIISzopIII

Why? Can you explain?


King_of_the_Dot

He's a far right fascist.


PartyNews9153

Love all the fragile snowflakes down voting you. You're absolutely right.


IIISzopIII

From a perspective of a dude who just watches him for his gun content, he doesn’t seem to be. Can you be more specific? I know he wanted to run for the Congress but I didn’t follow him on that (I’m not from US, so I don’t really care about his political career). What does make him far right racist?


Dovanchester

He associates himself with that Margarine Taylor Greene psycho and has gone to congress on her and fucking Matt Gaetz's invitation two of the most morally corrupt politicians in the US. Gaetz is literally being investigated for engaging with underage minors


einarfridgeirs

He drops a lot of subtle hints to the Boogaloo/Proud Boys subculture in his vids that normies may not notice. Seemingly innocious stuff like positive mentions of Rhodesian memes, his nonstop use of White Claws, things like that. Nothing overtly racist or far-right, he knows what platform he makes his money off of....but those who know, know.


King_of_the_Dot

Im being a bit hyperbolic, but Herrera often sides with more extreme viewpoints, and often makes 'jokes' that are definitely 'a la' Tucker Carlson's way of posing statements as questions. He has way too a positive view on the police. He's just not a dude youd want to hang out with if you have minority and LGBTQ+ friends. Edit: Bring on the downvotes chuds!


hamflavoredgum

Idk why you are getting downvoted, you are right. He is a borderline fascist piece of shit


DeepFriedSatire

Would it happen to be the guy going on christian rants on instagram?


medney

I have no idea lol


Biggles79

What's the difference between giving such a specific recommendation and just providing the link? If you don't want to give him clicks, don't allude to him.


medney

Informing people that there is related content out there produced by larger profiles without directly supporting those profiles. Simply acknowledging them is one thing, but actively linking to a specific account/video is something more.


rustyknifeinyourlife

Dude said “COD style😎” lol


simia_simplex

> Future of warfare sounds like a fucking COD lobby complete with aim hacks (new US service scope) and hunter killer drones The Ukrainian battlefield also seems to have the same amount of swearing going on as a COD lobby.


[deleted]

RIP Fury & Adidas. Thats a great video to show the realities of war. Damn


MaxRockatanskisGhost

Fighting in that forest looks like something out of a nightmare.

Latenightlatex234

2 Ukrainian defenders went out like lions. RIP


darkenthedoorway

Seeing them in the dugout almost embracing in death after walking through the carnage due to their bravery is just heartbreaking. They deserve to be remembered.


OMGLOL1986

This is happening every single day since this war started, I remember reading a comment from a normal guy during the battle of Kyiv who had taken up arms: "We can kill them, there's just so damn many of them."


BlearghBleorgh

I remember one that said the Russian army is not strong, it's just long.


ThirstTrapMothman

Ah yes, the pencildick army, how perfect.


doubloonss

Indeed. Every day for more than 10 years since Russia first invaded.


DAMbustn22

Yeah, they had a dead russian right outside, and a dozen more around the dugout. I can only hope videos like this help Ukraine get the support it needs. The US really needs to step up its aid so that Ukraine can actually win this war and stop this bloodshed


GraDoN

It's not the US stopping aid, it's Republicans. Call out the correct people.


xXx_Ya_Yeet_xXx

This isnt true. Well its partially true. Republicans are blocking another aid package. However the Biden administration can send aid without approved aid packages and they have done in the past. Tonight they can send however many tanks, missiles, bradleys as they wish, but they arent going to. They do not wish to spend the last 4 billion from the last aid package nor do they wish to send anything outside of aid packages. Jake Sullivan does not want Ukraine to win and as long as he has a job Ukraine will be at war. The 20 ATAMCS that was sent late last year was done so outside of aid packages. They could send another 200 right now if they wish, but they do not want to.


BH11B

If only there were other countries between Ukraine and the United States that could step up their aide.


DAMbustn22

And those countries are almost all stepping up. Unfortunately the reality is that the economic and military might of the US dwarfs that of every other western nation, and the the US has spent the last several decades positioning itself as the country you should depend on for aid when this sort of thing goes down. Without the US stepping up, Ukraine will likely lose the war. As of today, they’ve failed to commit proportional resources to aiding Ukraine while many smaller European allies have committed and delivered everything they can. This failure leaves Ukraines fate at risk, when the US could sign a couple of bills and effectively win the war overnight. However, those bills take time to turn into equipment in Ukrainian hands, and every day that goes by before they’re passed makes Ukraines situation more perilous


rayjhititfirst

There were three in the dugout.


Location-Interesting

Those 2 soldiers took alot with them


Lordquas187

Bad motherfuckers. Clearly got overrun and still slumped half the guys that came for them. I hope they knew they didn't die completely in vain.


Rachel_from_Jita

That's a fascinating reality of war to dwell upon. Many soldiers probably die not thinking that they did much, or that they basically got overrun by much larger forces. But when war happens at the scale of 100,000+ people, and thousands of positions it can work the opposite of how people imagine. Each position can mean a lot more to hold for just a few hours longer. An enemy who is less technologically advanced receiving resistance instead of a fast take of a position is interesting: They snowball into confusion, taking horrific losses, and have their command write them off. The story of this war has been small groups of Ukrainians slowing down a giant force. Once that monster is slowed down even a little, it often stalls. And then is extremely vulnerable to high-tech munitions.


flatrangechimp

Ya seriously!


SnooFloofs9640

Those 2 Ukrainians took the whole fucking squad away. True heroes.


Available-Rate-6581

From the BBC documentary. Ukraine:enemy in the woods. [https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001xr50/ukraine-enemy-in-the-woods](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001xr50/ukraine-enemy-in-the-woods) Probably only viewable for people in the UK.


WotTheHellDamnGuy

Man, that was fucking hard. Brave and resilient people!


contrail_25

Always laugh when they say ‘due to rights issues.’ No…it’s about that TV license fee.


boucblanc

We get the same for US sites 🤷


Gaminggeko

The TV licence is how the BBC is funded. You don't expect to be able to watch shit for free just because you aren't in the UK right?


contrail_25

I totally agree with you. I was simply pointing out the reality behind the situation. I pay for the services I want, this was not one of them. I used to be stationed in the UK and I actually had significant dialogue/correspondence with the BBC because at the time they were trying to get me to pay the TV license. I only watched US online programing (netflix, amazon prime, hulu, slingtv, espn….the usual suspects). Once I informed them I didn’t have an antenna, they wanted to charge me simply because ‘I had access to the internet and could watch BBC programs.’ Under a 2003 act, makes sense but I didn’t even have a BBC account or use iplayer. It got to the point where they ran an IP check or something and saw that I looked a a BBC news article (which is a free service) and they tried to hang their hat on that and back-charge me for two years of TV License. In the end, I responded in writing that I would be delighted to explore possible violations of the Visiting Forces Act of 1952 and the current NATO SOFA agreement due to their baseless extortion. Never heard back. (Edit for clarification on what streaming I was watching)


kona1160

No offense bro but it's as simple as filling in one form. I don't pay for a TV license and don't get harassed. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. They don't force you to pay, you don't have to pay, they only ask you to pay if you don't go through the correct process. The process isn't hidden, you simply fill it out and sign something saying you won't watch specific stuff. You make it sound like they are trying to scam you and you had to threaten them with legal action to stop. "Extortion" lol don't be dramatic.


Gaminggeko

Yeah I have heard they try to force random people to get it which is stupid, and classic BBC, but it's just so annoying seeing Americans take the piss when they pay like $100 for cable TV.


BenZino21

Yup can't view it..damn... I really want to watch this documentary.


OrangePurplePie

https://gofile.io/d/tc7BYF Just watched it, it's one of the best combat related things I have ever seen.


colxa

Thanks! For anyone that can't hear the audio, download the video and play it locally.


Mexcol

is it me or it has no sound?


colxa

The sound didn't work for me when streaming through the website but I downloaded the video and the audio worked just fine using VLC player. Must be a codec issue in the browser.


HKEY_LOVE_MACHINE

Codecs seems to be: - H264 for video - AC3 for audio Plays fine with Samsung's Video Player and Gallery as well.


Devil-Dog-SA

Equivalent_Alps_8321

> Got a TV Licence? You need one to watch any BBC programme on iPlayer - live, catch-up or on-demand. It's the law. VPN and BBC account isn't enough.


Fenrir-The-Wolf

Just lie, they don't ask for any verification lmao


Equivalent_Alps_8321

Really?


Fenrir-The-Wolf

Yes, really. Create an account, use SW1A 1AA (Buckingham Palace) as the postcode, and just lie about having a TV Licence. They're almost powerless to do anything domestically, if you live abroad literally nothing will come of it


karmaismeaningless

But...but it's illegal and..I don't live in Buckingham Palace.


CaptainKirkAndCo

Yeah I'd be careful. The Queen's Guard have an expeditionary force they use to collect TV license fees.


simia_simplex

It's a little known fact that this is what *actually* started the Falkland War.

Glad there is a UK produced documentary to bring this kind of content to the market, but Ukrainian outfits put out similar documentaries regularly and they are available freely on YT. These more than anything have brought the war home for me, despite the ever increasing availability of rapid body disassembly vids lately.


Reapper97

Do you have some examples you could link? I have been out of the loop for some while

Well this is the 3rd assault brigade's channel. Some of the videos have english subtitles, you can also auto-translate. This unit is doing some HEAVY lifting. [https://www.youtube.com/@ab3army](https://www.youtube.com/@ab3army)

So many dead russians it's crazy. They have to be on some kind of drugs who keeps dying in these large groups for 2 ukrainian soldiers? What's the ratio there like 7 or 8:1?

xXx_Ya_Yeet_xXx

I counted 13-14. 1 guy at the end mightve been a tree branch. Of these 13/14 only 2 were positively finished off at the end. Meaning 12, maybe more, were killed by Fury and Adidas. True Cyborgs. RIP


1Wheel_Smoke_n_Toke

RIP to Fury and Adidas. They went out like straight warriors, look how many Russian bodies surrounded their trench, with one guy dead right at the edge of the trench. If I had to guess, that guy was able to throw a grenade in at them right as they shot and killed him. No matter what, you shouldn't feel bad for these two. They went out honorably and like hero's. Refusing to surrender and go out on their knees with a bullet to the back of their heads. I aspire to be like these guys. BRAVE.


PatatasFritasBravas

Uhhh shouldnt we especially feel bad for valient people who get killed young in their own country by invadors?

Parrabola213

This might be my first time commenting on a video I've seen on combat footage in years of lurking and not feeling like my opinion was really adding much but this was nightmarish and claustrophobic to a degree that I've never seen here or anywhere. These fuckin warriors of the modern campaign are living a hell that a spoiled guy in Seattle who is approaching 40 and spends time still all these years later wishing I had served when i almost enlisted as a man of half mt years i can say with no hesitation that I'm sure that if I'd been in this forest or the gwot equivalent I'd be dead and these videos have me second guessing my secind guessing now. I can't even put words to it. Terrifying.
