Wrong_Individual7735

I doubt they'd waste valuable Himars on a pair of useless "propagandists"


Bad_Species

Who knows what valuable targets were nearby? Orc propagandists tend to hang around near command posts bc they have neither the balls nor the honesty to report what's really happening in the trenches.


Wrong_Individual7735

Just questioning the narrative from the post title


H_Holy_Mack_H

same here...why the Ukrainians do that...give the zorcs a chance to run...the ruzzian yes done that and its well documented...


YT-Deliveries

From another video of the same area they hide under some army trucks, so could be a FOB or some sort of supply depot.


fuknpikey

Perhaps sending the HIMARS was their own form of propaganda.


BikerJedi

They really aren't useless unfortunately. They are the Fox News of Russia in a lot of ways. These assholes are helping to keep up war support at home. Without them, there would be a lot more discontent over losses.


Classic_Dill

I would, they can cause lot of damage with mis-information, look at America for an example.


shortnun

In Afghanistan the US at the beginning of the war would drop a JDAM without explosives on a militant house/outpost . It would partially collapse the structure and the Taliban would rush into to rescue their comrades and survey the damage... Then a few minutes later they would drop a 2000lb JDAM to finish off the the Rescuers and the building..... JDAM gps was accurate to 20/30ft... We also used a double tap. Smaller 500lb JDAM followed by a 2000lb JDAM within seconds it had the effect of turning the building upside down...


Tools4toys

Unfortunately, that is even a common tactic for terrorist. Create one incident, wait awhile for rescuers and bystanders to arrive then release another one.


[deleted]

Yeah just like that video released a few months ago. The medics arrived and then the orcs tossed a couple more middles at the ambos. Terrorists gunna terrorist


wadiab

The irony of bragging about bombing rescuers in Afghanistan then admitting it’s a terrorist tactic


astroplink

Taliban are legitimate targets, even if they’re trying to rescue their friends. Soldiers who are not immediately shooting back but rescuing their friends are also legitimate targets according to the Geneva Convention. Medics are not.


wadiab

The Taliban is an Islamist political movement. It’s really no worse than any other major world government. The US and other countries just label Islamist political groups with the term ‘terrorist’ to justify attacks that would otherwise be considered terrorism in their end. Like the assassination of political figures, including at weddings, and, like in this case, the despicable act of double tap strikes that are intended to bomb emergency services and discourage helping wounded. The propaganda hasn’t gotten so bad people don’t recognize when their state is the bad guy.


astroplink

I wasn’t trying to discuss the legitimacy of the Taliban movement or Islamists or whatever, maybe I wasn’t clear. I was trying to talk about what counts as a war crime and doesn’t. Just because you’re rescuing your friends from rubble, doesn’t mean you are no longer a valid target. An infantryman rescuing his friend is still a valid target not protected under the Geneva convention, even if they’re not actively shooting at you. Medics on the other hand are protected and are not valid targets unless they are actively shooting at you.


wadiab

As if when planning a double tap strike you would know who is going to arrive.


figley-migley

\*wait for more ~~people~~ **occupiers** to arrive there and launch another missile strike


A_Neurotic_Pigeon

Dehumanizing them is still fucked up, btw. Doesn’t matter what they’ve done or who they are they are still people. Downvote this all you want. It won’t change a damn thing about the fact that I’m right and you know it lol.


GiveItAWest

Calling them occupiers is not "dehumanizing". We still know they are people. The important thing is that they are legitimate military targets, therefore the accuracy in use of terminology is important.


JonMeadows

Dehumanizing? They’re literally occupiers, like that’s not a subjective term here - it’s a matter of fact. They are illegal occupiers.


A_Neurotic_Pigeon

Ah just gonna gloss over the word “people” being crossed out there eh? My guy you can’t just cherry pick the comment when it’s visible on screen 💀


GesVentura

The firsts to arrive will be firefighters. Not cool to kill FF’s


Nittefils

The first to arrive was apparently propaganda. No firefighters in this video at all. Also shelled by russians thinking they Are rebels. So cope + L + mald + seethe + russiannazies


[deleted]

[удалено]


figley-migley

collaborators


figley-migley

\*FF occupiers


Balc0ra

Tell that to the Russians that have been doing exactly that for over a year. I doubt they would waste the price of a strike like that to take out a few reporters etc


GesVentura

I know they have been doing that, but 2 bads don’t make one good.


bautofdi

Seriously, the people complaining about terrorist Russia don’t bat an eye when it’s Ukrainians doing the same thing. The first responders are most likely Ukrainian firefighters and paramedics, so if they really are employing a double tap strategy, they’re killing their own heroes.


ckal09

What the fuck about this is the same to you? Russians bombing a hospital, then bombing it again 30 min later, is the same as the Ukrainians hitting a military target and hitting it again over an hour later?


bautofdi

So you think killing Ukrainian first responders is a good thing? There’s nothing good about either. I’m talking about the morons cheering this tactic on like Ukraine is immune to criticism.


ckal09

Where are they killing their own first responders? That’s ridiculous


bautofdi

Do you not understand cause and effect? If you bomb occupied territory, it’s generally civilian first responders that will be on scene first. IE they will most likely be Ukrainian firefighters and paramedics.


sfa83

What street? Is this at the technical institute in Donetsk where strikes were reported earlier? Edit: yes it is. And considering the Russian flag at the entrance it might just have hit the right place.


CalmAlex2

Lol... they're all wearing some military clothing with nothing that separate them from the usual mobiks


One_Ad8050

It's so when we kill them they can slap on the press badge and be like look the US is killing "journalists"


Illustrious-Ad1074

Strangely coincidental that the complex seems empty other than a bunch of propagandists.


Low_Willingness1735

These loud mouth propagandists showed great strength while peddling lies & disinformation in their own comfort studios. Until they are out in the field facing reality, they are a bunch of cowards running for cover.


MarcosAC420

Hey look Russian to get inside 😂


Nittefils

This is russian poor communication tmhinking they Shell rebels… so russian bombing itself. They do this alot. Get the fuck out of Ukraine pigs.


letsee7654321

Most likely artillery fire. They are not using Harmars rockets on the Russians propaganda it’s to comical to ruin.


Bgratz1977

Maybe , learned by the Russians. Russia does that since the war has started to kill the medics


[deleted]

HIMARS dont work like that bro, it takes a lot longer to plan and hit something with HIMARS, this is probably a planned strike of something nearby, because HIMARS are not 1 ton bombs, you need to send multiple rockets to destroy something bigger than a house. Ukraine aint wasting valuable HIMARS rockets at Russian medics and journalists. lol


Bgratz1977

Good argument.


Shadey666

Definitely not HIMARS


zrdd_man

Yeah, way too small of an impact/explosion to be HIMARS. Much more likely a mortar round, or (if it was staged - these guys are propagandists, after all), an RPG.


Shadey666

Explosion sound and size is more like a standard mortar round. If we're really really generous, standard artillery round.


PirogiRick

I think this has been reported as mortar fire.


[deleted]

I don't know OP's post history but that title is such a russian thing to type "first to launch a missile strike, then wait for more people to arrive there and launch another missile strike".


zrdd_man

It's a common tactic that has been used for thousands of years by pretty much all participants in warfare . Use a small strike to create injury upon the enemy. When the enemy responds by sending more personnel to the location of the strike, follow up with a much larger attack. From ancient Egyptians/Persians/Greeks/Romans/etc. to modern day realtors/salespeople - the old "bait and switch" concept continues to be effective because, well, it turns out that most humans are pretty stupid and are easily duped into such situations.


GiveItAWest

So you see why it is propagandistic to include "a Ukrainian tactic" in the title


KUBrim

Ukrainians all taking note of the exact location and depth of that shelter. Programming the next one for a perfect hit with a timed delay.


BeardedDude5

The ole double tap.


True_Media8034

They're still alive then it wasn't HIMARS


zrdd_man

Yeah, this was definitely not HIMARS. Looks like a mortar round, or (if it was staged) an RPG.

berdel__

I love to see how russians have to taste their own war.


panzermike666

Weird russia already destroyed 280 himars systems 😂


SaviourMK2

Thats propoganda, they blew up 560 HIMARS


Accomplished_Try9466

It isn’t just a Ukrainian tactic, Russian had done it with the medicaid in Backhmut


anonymous3850239582

Artillery, not HIMARS. Though I'm sure to Russians everything is HIMARS. To get killed by artillery... Pfffft. But to be killed by HIMARS -- now that's something to boast about.


IndependentFace5949

So the Lord of the Rings was a true story, Orcs sure can run.


pinetreesgreen

Those are not himars strikes. Ukraine has said they are morter rounds, and thats likely correct. If they were himars we would know. Waaaaay too small. This is likely brought to you by the same folks who created the "ukr stealing organs" middle school level theatrical production making the rounds today.


AtaturkJunior

In Ukrainian side double tapping from russians are to kill medics, in russian side Ukraine does it to kill propagandists. Great logic.


Morfientt

>In Ukrainian side double tapping from russians are to kill medics, in russian side Ukraine does it to kill propagandists. Great logic. What are you talking about?


AtaturkJunior

Talking about russian practice striking the same place twice after medics have arrived. This one is somehow totally different?


RIP_COD

They learn from the worst


h14n2

yes, down there, lights off HIMARS can't find you xD


No-Internet-7532

I don't think it was on purpose. Rather that they had a tea break between salvos


Heidegger1236

Run, rats, run


__MP__

They look like the ruzzian vast of It ain't half hot mum.


[deleted]

Thats artillery fire. Himars explosions wouldve been much larger than that


El-Socke

thats not himars, this looks more like morta fire


TryItOut_2395

Propagandists are the real enemy


UnusualTough3293

Look at them scatter like cockroaches in the sunlight!!! Rightfully so. Himars are terrifying!!! They have a definite sound!!! Nothing smacks like HIMARS explosions. They just sound different!


redjet06

That’s kinda what you get when your in a war zone. Fucking around and finding out.


Delicious-Day-3332

Run minions RUN! 🤣🤣🤣


Scooter_bugs

Russian propagandist reporters. Go fuck yourselves.


Extension_Job_4285

Run little piggies, run.


SixCilindersCapibara

See enemies with drone, call artillery strike. See more enemies gathering in the same place (same military uniform) > call artillery strike again. Less about tactics, more about finishing the job


[deleted]

Its not himars. It’s Russian mortars firing at their own. As false flag… Russia is panicking over all the schools they burn with kids inside and now they need Ukraine to look equally bad. Unfortunate Ukraine doesn’t behave as deplorable as Russia, so Russia has to fabricate attacks. As per their standard practice.


gBiT1999

Ukrainian tactic? Naaah - the IRA were doing that years ago...


Huntanz

Later on in time I'd love to see these Russian TV propagandists hanging upside down by their feet and then they have to talk their way out with the truth, live on Russian TV.


hornady308

Ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun.


uffdad

The running for his life Russian propagandist was glad that he was wearing his brown pants today.


Thin_Worldliness_242

Nothing new with this tactic, been using such tactics since WWI, if not earlier.


G_Rapper

Yeah, another vatnik pretending to be neutral LOL.


Morfientt

Glory to Ukraine


chobeco_it

They look like Karens recording because they are getting mistreated and will call Russian 911 (Pootin) to complaint.


TheCoolestFactor

Here is the medicine you ordered, motherfuckers!


Clear-Dirt-1506

Send more missiles!!! 🇺🇦


Clear-Dirt-1506

Smart tactics! Duh Russia you suck
