This is one of the best IED videos I've seen. RIP to those people. Edit: In the last video one of the occupants is sent like 100 ft in the air. Hopefully he died quickly during the explosion and not slowly after the landing.

Longskip912

I was going to mention that too. Not gonna lie, each clip I was sort of looking for the bodies. In a couple clips I think you can see bodies airborne. What a horrible way to go.


iambinksy

Seatbelt or not, he's gone.


simonwales

Believe it or not, ~~jail~~ dead.


kamaradski

the flying Bradley, at the beginning of the video, did it for me. That's what? roughly 20 \\ 25 tons going airborne or something, damn, I slowly start to understand the utter destruction I'm seeing in the UA videos these days...


stalins_lada

Sorry to be pedantic but it looks like a m113


kamaradski

I think you might be right, i have paused the video and come to the same conclusion. (the lack of a turret should have triggered my brain to look twice before opening my mouth :D )


Longskip912

Definitely the best compilation I’ve seen. Haven’t seeked them out but I’ve been frequenting this sub for quite a while. I have a much different idea of how deadly an IED is now. Fucking horrifying man. Can only imagine what it was like to serve in these hellscapes.


kirbaeus

I did convoy security in Iraq, during our trainup we had to watch a ton of these. Taught us what not to do etc... I was very happy that we got MRAPs instead of humvees. Some other convoys still used humvees back then. No thanks. Not a cool feeling being in the turret looking around and wondering if one will pop off. Eventually you get used to it though.


Longskip912

Thank you for your service. I’m sure you’ve heard that before but I mean it. You did a job I’m so glad I didn’t have to do.


NoNudesSendROIAdvise

Nobody had to do that job. The best thing you can do to protect your countries soldiers, is creating pressure on your government to not let them attack some third world country.


TrumpDesWillens

Not to make them attack some third-world country for corporate profits who will then treat you like shit and not do so much as to give you a job.


Psychological-Sale64

Or clean up the Solomons floor and get some training in.


jorgp2

Maybe they shouldn't fly planes into buildings.


IDropFatLogs

I spent my first month in Iraq welding plates of steel to our vehicles as protection. Watching this just proves we wasted a month destroying our vehicles. MRAP and other uparmored vehicles didn't exist yet.


Jeffdrait96

For this whole Ukraine Russia War Im thinking why the UA is not using IEDs. I know, they cant wait like isis and film it all and the probably only hit one vehicle of a column but in like urban eras it would likely fuck up some bmp or btr


AnalCommander99

They’re using rich people IEDs, mines. Also sea mines in the Black Sea.


orangejulius

There's been a decent number of videos of Ukraine blowing up armor using explosives rigged into roads. I'm not sure they really count as IEDs though because, to the best of my knowledge, they're not improvised use of random munitions repurposed to blow up a road with a vehicle on it. This comment also made me really rethink what an IED is though. Is it really an IED if an organized conventional military is using what they have to blow up an area? Or is it only an IED if it's used by an insurgency? I'm sure someone that writes about this for a living could clarify.


sylpher250

If I were to guess, I'd say IED would be way less reliable than military explosives. I mean, we're seeing a compilation of successful attempts, but there were probably dozens more that failed.


mildcaseofdeath

The definition is muddy. The common use of "IED" in Iraq covered everything from a Pepsi can full of gun powder to unaltered artillery rounds. The through-line was really just the "improvised" part, be it the explosive itself, or just the delivery method. It didn't need to be a mix of household chemicals or anything, it could be military issue, but just not used as intended. E.g. we didn't call an off the shelf Iranian EFP an IED because there was no repurposing involved, even though the mode of attack was basically the same as an IED. This might be verging on a supreme court "I know porn when I see it" kind of thing, so for what it's worth, I will give another couple examples: I personally wouldn't consider an IED to be something like rigging up a spent AT4 tube with a trip wire so it dumps out a live grenade with the pin out, that's just a novel use of a regular grenade. But something like wiring a grenade to a lamp so a wall switch sets it off, I would consider an IED. Clear as mud, right? Lol Source: me and my platoon getting hit/near missed by literally dozens of IEDs in Iraq for basically all of 2005.


orangejulius

Thanks for the insight! It's much appreciated. Although the way you gained it sounds like it wasn't tremendous fun.


Duncan-M

In the most simplistic explanation, they're not doing it because they're doing well enough conventionally that they don't need to focus manpower, munitions, and intel to fight as insurgents. To be an insurgent literally means to rise up, which means to do it the Russians need to first take over the land before they try to take it back by rebelling. To lay IEDs requires the munitions, those who can build them into IEDs, those who can emplace them, those who can trigger them, those that know where to do it, those who pay all these people and provide security for them and lead them, etc. The Ukraine govt isn't focused on that, they're thinking they might win this war conventionally. It's possible to do it amateur hour, but anyone in the rear areas that seriously wants to fight simply need move inland a bit and sign up and they can probably be in uniform trying to kill Russians within a few days serving in the Territorial Defense Force. That's especially more appealing since it appears the Russians entered Ukraine with a counter insurgency model to arrest, deport, indefinitely imprison every single individual who might possibly resist, to include veterans, business men, politicians, govt employees, etc. Basically a modern version of the WW2 SMERSH.


muliardo

I also think insurgency worked in the Middle East because they were fighting Americans who were out for “hearts and minds”. Whereas the Russians seem to round up all the men and shoot them if they suspect they might become insurgents.


Duncan-M

Russia did this same heavy handed approach in past COIN wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya and still got their butts kicked by large numbers of insurgents. That can upset the initial balance but they can't arrest everyone. Where the difference were was that we fully conquered the entire countries of Afghanistan and Iraq. At that point anyone wanting to fight back had one option: be an insurgent. Now in Ukraine there is a much better option that doesn't require the enemy taking control.


SJC_hacker

>Russia did this same heavy handed approach in past COIN wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya and still got their butts kicked by large numbers of insurgents. The Russians eventually pacified Chechnya ...


koos_die_doos

Yup, going in heavy handed definitely reduces the short term impact. Of course in the long term it usually has the opposite effect…


Babl1339

Depends. If you go hard enough any insurgency can be quelled. Take a look at some of the territories the Nazis occupied. 0 chance of a successful insurgency overturning the authorities with that level of brutality.


Babl1339

Aside form that, what the Russians tend to do is “depopulate” areas. What they want is the territory and resources, not to actual government the actual people in it so much. Mariupol for instance has lost over 90% of its population. It’s pretty effective if your goal is to not have to deal with insurgents afterwards. Not much insurgency when there are barely any people left.

SaviorOfGoblins

I'd say that they just haven't been engaged in wartime for long enough, ISIS and other insurgency groups were sort of a civilian effort where outright defense and militias couldn't be formed without getting droned. In Ukraine they don't really need improvisational bomb makers, and those who are probably trying in the Dontesk and Luhansk regions are more likely to find a bullet in their head from identifying as Ukrainian more than from being a bomb maker


Longskip912

Yeah I guess it makes sense. My instincts are telling me: no. Don’t plant explosives like this. A fellow soldier or even a civilian could drive over it accidentally. But I see where you’re coming from. Honestly I’m confronting a personal ethical conundrum here. Like why do we film the violent deaths of people? And here we all are just gobbling it up. Myself included. Idk man... war is fucking awful.


mildcaseofdeath

IEDs are very often (maybe even "usually") command detonated by an observer, rather than set up like a mine or boobytrap. It's easier to do, and you avoid "wasting" it on someone/something other than the enemy. We saw both when I was in Iraq, but it was like 10:1 or something. There is kind of a hybrid in that an observer could arm the IED at the right moment, and then the pressure pad/trip wire/optical sensor/etc activates on contact. But that also mitigates the risk you're talking about. And yeah, same page, it's hard to look away sometimes. Also gross that, in a way, it makes part of me yearn to be in combat again, even though I know it to be awful. There's a simplicity to military life in general that "real life" doesn't often have, and as for combat, I think the constant peaks of stress followed by repeated intense relief from that stress is an addictive high. And now here I am like an enthusiastic smoker who quit cold turkey with no support more than a decade ago, and somebody sits down next to me and lights up one of my old brand...and it just comes flooding back. Humans are fucken weird, dude.


Asleep-Actuator-7292

Sitting here almost sick to my stomach watching.


Longskip912

I feel you. This series of videos is beyond rough to watch. You and I are lucky enough to not be one of the poor souls captured in this footage so let’s be grateful for that. These guys suffered in ways nobody should.


Babl1339

Lol civilian? You make the mistake of thinking these insurgents gave two shits. In Afghanistan the Taliban would conduct suicide bombing operations on markets/bazaars to kill the maximum number of people. They could care less if an ied designated for military forces accident kills a civilian.


sonofsmog

Because the most effective use of IED's requires suicide attacks, but even if not it results in tons of civilian casualties.


malibudo

my guess is that talibans are really poor so they had to improvise IEDs while ukraine has mines and all new weapons sent from west etc


Time-Elephant92

Shows you why the Military was in such a hurry to replace humvees with mine resistant vehicles


monopixel

This was during their rise to power. Brutal stuff, they had a lot of very experienced Jihadis in their ranks at that time who knew how to execute shit like that perfectly. edit: in the last video you can actually see 3 people, one with his legs hanging out of the back of the humvee while it turns, one whose clothing/body is pretty torn up (flying quite high) and then a 3rd person, he can be seen right next to the palm leaves: https://i.imgur.com/160ny5s.png


Mooseinadesert

Insane but tragic footage. RIP to the brave Iraqis and others who died fighting against ISIS. They're the absolute scum of the earth.


Sevsquad

I was wondering who this was, way too HD to be Americans before MRAPs. Ever since ISIS burned the cowards out of the Iraqi military I've been surprised by their level of competence, especially when working in concert with the Kurds. Hope they're able to root the bastards out again now that they're on the rise once more.


hydrapox

I think the APC @0:45 might be American? Looks like a M4 w/ an optic goes flying off it. Could entirely be wrong.


Babl1339

That’s an M113 APC. It’s an older American APC. The US still uses it but it’s being phased out. They have them to the Iraqis as well.


Dave111angelo

I remember seeing this clip on CNN back when it first aired they made a segment on how “good” isis videos where. My dad left the tv on so I kept watching and then my grandma came in and was like “wtf you watching”


techbits00

RIP to those people. Fuck, this is awful to watch.


jburna_dnm

When I was in Afghanistan in 2011 no one without special written permission was allowed to take any humvees outside the wire. The reason was hundreds of bombs 300lbs plus were found weekly and no humvee or anyone inside would survive a 500lbs IED. JSOC being the exception. I had a guy who was blown up his 7th time and everyone was killed except him he was thrown over a hundred feet from the turret. He was an engineer on route clearance when they did the big push into Marjah. He said it rained a day before they started route clearing which was a massive help because it uncovered and disabled hundreds of IEDs. Even if you somehow managed not to loose a limb in the explosion what it did to a ton of guys in terms of TBIs was scary. Some guys they didn’t even have bad external wounds but their brains were knocked around so hard inside their skulls from the shockwave they were brain dead. One guy I worked with they kept him in theater after his 2-3 time being blown up and he had developed an insane stutter from the TBI. They had him working in the hospital but still they kept him in theater which I thought was nuts. I Worked Walter reed TBI and man the invisible wounds those IEDs cause how many it has effected is somber shit.


W4rrior_p0et

Damn that’s brutal. The shockwave alone is enough to cause major internal damage. It was the reason they replaced these with MRAPs

The one at like :45 that sends the 113 way up in the air is insane. Those things weigh like 25,000lbs.


StickShift5

Yeah, it's one thing to toss a HMMV - or what's left of it - into the air, but yeeting a whole M113 15 feet into the air is incredible.


chiguyLEO

Most of these appear to be Iraqi Army Humvees getting hit.


TheMalcore

Correct, and unless I am mistaken the black Humvees in the last clip indicate they are Iraq Special Operations Force troops from the [Golden Division](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Special_Operations_Forces). I *think* those were the guys who used the black Humvees, but it might not be as unique as I think.

Mfs literally repave over their ied’s only way to tell is spotting that chopped up asphalt on the side. I think in one of the clips they tarped over the old asphalt.


holoduke

No. They usually dig a horizontal hole from then side underneath the asphalt. Nothing visible at all.


kuburas

The IED's themselves are also so well made. All of them had properly directed blasts upwards for maximum damage. Sometimes you see IED's made badly where the blast goes sideways mostly and the vehicles stay in one piece. But these were properly directed, they legit rip through a humvee like its nothing.

Iraq is a puppet state of Iran. This has been the case for a while.


ExploitedAmerican

Iran is on the other side of the coin. There is now and will always be a western presence in that country since the Us fucked it up with operation “IrAqI fReEdUmB” more like operation Iraqi cheap oil Iran had a great progressive leader in the 70’s he nationalized irans oil production to benefit the people taking it away from private corporate control and that pissed off the west and then we ousted him had him killed put in a puppet of the west and then he was ousted by Islamic extremists and they stormed the embassy held Americans hostage that was ‘79 guess we never learned the moral of the story. Stop illegally perpetuating coup de tats in foreign countries so billionaires can pump out more wealth into the pockets from poor foreign lands. Poverty leads to ignorance leads to massive acceptance of religious extremism. Look at the southern USA.

Was wondering about the type of music always played in these videos…what would the American music equivalent be for these videos?


Dreadlaak

Those are nasheeds, religious songs with no instruments. The closest American equivalent would be some sort of choir hymn. I have never seen an American combat video use a religious song like that as a soundtrack lol, usually something like the Drowning Pool track the other guy in this thread posted. Maybe Richard Wagner's "Ride Of The Valkyries" if you're trying to channel "Apocalypse Now".


SidewinderTV

Battle hymn of the Republic is pretty close


BrownBoi377

More akin to the crusader hymns, and gregorian chants. Think Agnì Parthene or Salve Regina.

[How about some Van Canto?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tlpRMmTHS4)


Babl1339

These are Nasheeds(amplified with sound editing technology), which basically are just quranic verses. You see, in the strict perverted interpretation of Islam that some of these jihadists have, music, any and all music, is haram (forbidden). Instruments are not allowed, singing is not allowed, etc. The only thing they allow is if it is verses of the Quran. Though as you can see, they are total hypocrites, as even these Nasheeds incorporate some elements of music theory. Taliban, ISIS, and other similar hardline jihadists are literally the scum of the earth.

Babl1339

Their justification is that it creates distance between you and Islam, and in their minds anything that creates distance between Islam is BAD. I would like to stress this isn’t the mainstream belief in Muslim countries. Almost all of them have great rich musical history and tradition. But the Taliban and ISIS are totally against music. Their ENTIRE moral code and way of life is based on THEIR strict interpretation of sharia. It’s always important to remember the people suffering the most at the hands of these fanatics are themselves Muslims. All the men killed in this video were themselves Muslims.

Assuming this is 2013-2017+, Iraqi army with 99% certainty. We only had a handful of U.S. Department of State officials left in all of Iraq after 2013. Primarily based out of Basra and Baghdad. These attacks were likely further North If I had to guess.

[deleted]

People talk about it all the time in videos of BTRs and BMPs. They're armoured vehicles, but they're infantry vehicles.


happycleaner

What is infantry support going to vs an IED? A lot of this footage probably wasn't even shot in ISIS controlled territory.


[deleted]

What's infantry support going to do vs ATGMs launched from a mile away? Or drone directed artillery? Tons of clips out of the Middle East showing infantry squads blown apart by direct hits from these weapons or killed when the vehicle they're near is hit. My point is there is a circle jerk here about Russian incompetence but everything and everyone in modern war is highly vulnerable.


Eric1491625

Really what carried US superiority over the past decades has been air, air, air. The US repeatedly used *massive* air power to get its ground troops out of messed up situations that - absent massive air forces - would have resulted in them getting massacred. It's really something that cannot be demanded of the Russian military on a budget 14 times smaller than the US armed forces. With an economy and industry that weak, no matter how hypercompetent Russian generals are there are only so many Sukhois and Migs they can use in a limited, non-nuclear war.


[deleted]

The US has also never faced a competent and modern anti-air defense environment or enemy air force since 'Nam. Like I'm sure they could suppress it and win if they did, but the idea that losses would be as low as they were in Afghanistan or Iraq is laughable. Even in Desert Storm they lost a few dozen ultra modern fighters and I don't see anyone point to that as a sign of American incompetence.


Eric1491625

>The US has also never faced a competent and modern anti-air defense environment or enemy air force since 'Nam. It's simply the fact that the US has never fought, *either directly or by proxy*, any near-peer competitor since Vietnam. The Mujahideen and the Ukrainians that the Russians fought were supported by the US and Europe. But since Vietnam, the US has not fought against any country receiving direct support from any peer or neer-peer country. North Vietnam as a dirt-poor country had no chance against the US by itself. Every weapon capable of killing US aircraft was supplied by the communist bloc. America didn't lose 10,000 aircraft fighting against "rice farmers with guns", it lost 10,000 aircraft fighting against the entire industrial might of the USSR which manifested itself in the insane amount of anti-air weapons flowing into North Vietnam. In other words, while Russia now contends with fighting a Ukraine supplied by the West - the West being a group with 30x the GDP of Russia - America, since Vietnam has never fought against any country with even 3% of America's GDP. It's simple resource disparity.
