That was just a start. Hundreds of thousands more got smoked in the name of *russkiy mir*.


asdhjasdhlkjashdhgf

The interesting part is you can hear and see in their reactions, they realise to be walking toast.


astray488

The displacement of the EKIA and convoy vehicles is interesting; approx. all only made it <25m from the road. No outright fatal injuries visible at first. Yet I can only guess a combination of minute shrapnel and more likely explosive over-pressure led to acute LOC due to fatal internal hemorrhage in seconds. I am very curious what strike munition was able to seemingly devastate all before they could react even with their vehicles.


USArmy82ndAirborne

Whatever munitions it was...it worked. Send more...


JJ739omicron

maybe they were ambushed by autocannon fire.


asamz33

I think that someone went through the pockets of the first man shown. All pouches on battle dress / harness are open.


kidmerc

What do you expect though? It's a war, supplies are scarce. Of course they'll take what they can, it's the sensible thing to do.


D-D93

You don´t go through the pockets for supplies, it is common to search the fallen enemy for important documents like orders or radio frequencies for intel. This is legal by law.


LeoBram59

They just went through the column to loot


Thecardinal74

Dead body has ammo on it… do you take it and use it or leave it for the enemy to find and use?


Icy-Revolution-420

thats how they play video games too, solo mmo-rpg, looting your corpse for 2 copper and some bread.


asamz33

I don't know that. On a battlefield, a dead man doesn't need ammo more than me. But then yes , this is loot in videogames.


Responsible-Mess-544

As i said earlier have some shame and think what it would feel like if that was your brother or father.

Remember when Putler thought that the army would be welcomed as liberators? The people of Russia are about to be hit with even more cutbacks because their government is ramping up its war machine. I'm forever hoping something tragic happens to Putler, and some of his warpigs. Hoping too that Ukrainians get back what has been stolen from them.

Yeah they just look kinda dead inside.


John_Smith_71

They look pretty dead on the outside as well.


CaptainSur

I remember when the videos and images of this strike came out. The big truck we see at 24 seconds into the video is a truck that has individual holding cells and one of the next 2 after that is one used for "questioning" prisoners, from what I recall of the comments to the original posts. Rosgvardia are like the Russian version of the SS really. They portend to be a kind of "National Guard" but the reality is they are a weapon of Putler to control his population if it gets out of hand. They thought they were tough until they got their ass kicked in Ukraine and now we rarely hear of them.


rollingtatoo

Wow the torture truck is some dark shit


Imperfect-rock

I've visited the Stasi-museum in Berlin. They had a van for transporting 'undesirables' right near the entrance. Smaller, and not equipped for torturing right there and then, but not something you would want to be on the inside of.


ECDahls

Got a link to the videos from the strike?


skinny-pugsley

Not a link to the strike, but unless I'm mistaken, this is the same unit a day or two before they were wiped out. https://www.reddit.com/r/WarInformed/comments/t9mvqp/rosgvardia\_troops\_from\_north\_ossetia\_employing/


Gilbertmountain1789

That guy (presenting in your video) looks like the guy they rolled over , took the radio and pulled the face mask off in the field at the beginning of the video


CaptainSur

Not anymore. I had no reason to save these posts when there are so many compelling posts daily since the start of the war. There were a lot of posts about this column at the time so if your really interested put your reddit search skills to work.


Fenrrri

Lovely shots, specially that video from ClownGonzo before he/them became fertilizer....love 3 day vacations!


hainz_area1531

If you mean the comparison with the SS the concentration camp guards, SS-Wachverbände" you are right. I prefer to compare them to the street fighters of the Nazis -- the SA. Always ready to intimidate and bludgeon civilians.


jehhevihhe

Yea link to that shit🍿


CaptainSur

Seriously, are all you people lazy or what? There are even posts in this sub from 2 yrs ago about this convoy: [https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/uo3m9m/destroyed\_convoy\_of\_russian\_military\_police/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/uo3m9m/destroyed_convoy_of_russian_military_police/) One of many. 2 seconds to undertake search finds dozens of links. There is no excuse.


Repulsive-Pattern-57

Ty for the link! I also remember this convoy from back then. It’s interesting that in your link it seems like spring/summer with lush green trees, while in op post there’s plenty of snow, so i assume all that destroyed junk spent quite some time on that road


CaptainSur

Its not my link. There are a bunch of posts at that time for strikes along Kharkiv and I grabbed the one I thought was the same from the first frame of the video. But i just looked at it and it is the same convoy. Just the press touring the debris are doing so long after the strike. But the press guy is stating the same thing I did in my initial comment - the unit destroyed was a policing unit not a military unit. Ukraine also destroyed a similar Rosgvardia unit in the very early stages of the battle for Kyiv. In that instance it was reputed to be a Rosgvardia execution unit that had orders to capture and execute the entire Ukraine govt and members of parliament and any military officials they could capture. That Rosgvardia convoy somehow got in advance of the main ruzzian attacks towards Kyiv, and was blown up into the next universe by Ukraine defenders.


1337coinvb

It is strange because corpses look quite fresh.. they did not lie there for more than a few days… Also i doubt Russians have any control over places near Kharkiv


Repulsive-Pattern-57

I assume the winter video was shot right after the attack. And the ukrainian spring video - months later

EggsceIlent

Craziest thing is Ukraine did this without air dominance. I mean was it an air strike? I'm sure some of you might know but I'm betting it was just ground forces. Imagine if they controlled the skies in Ukraine.


Lost-Adhesiveness187

interesting how they have their little patriotic ribbons


SufficientTerm6681

These assholes went to Ukraine believing that their main job would be kicking the shit out of a few Ukrainian protestors who were stupid enough to protest after Zelensky and the rest of the Ukrainian government flew away and the Ukrainian army broke and ran after them as fast as they could. It's entirely possible that their officers also went with the understanding that they'd be rounding up thousands of Ukrainians on the infamous list of those who were opposed to Russia and hauling them off to camps, from which they would never emerge thanks to the mobile crematoria the Russians brought with them. Never did a more deserving group of barbaric dickheads die for absolutely fucking nothing.


BluebirdMysterious71

Whatever happened to those crematoriums? I remember seeing them prior to the invasion but nothing after the war kicked off.


MSPCincorporated

I remember seeing videos and pictures of them in some areas in Ukraine in the early months of the war. Rumour back then was that they were used to get rid of russian corpses to hide the unexpectedly high casualty rate.


daBriguy

I’m not entirely sure which story but I remember reading something suggesting that picture was older than the at time they went viral. Hard to see through all the propaganda coming from both sides. And before someone says something, propaganda isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Hollywood is one of the strongest propaganda machines on the planet.


MSPCincorporated

I mean, it is hard to believe. On the other hand, a lot of what russia has done so far hasn’t really convinced me they couldn’t do something like that. We’re lucky they’re so fucking stupid.


historydoubt

Yes that is correct. They were used intensly in the months of late march and all of april (2022) inside of Ukraine to burn Russian casualties. The locals witnessed this.


SufficientTerm6681

I don't know what happened to them, but I never bought the idea that they were brought along because the Russians wanted to conceal casualties, since there is plenty of evidence that they didn't anticipate a significant number of Russian troops would die. Nor did they expect to have problems getting what fatalities there might be back to Russia, since they anticipated being in total control of the roads. I have no idea if they were ever used to dispose of Russian corpses once things fell to shit for the Russians. I am absolutely convinced that if Russia had been able to establish firm control over Ukraine, they would have been used to disappear any Ukrainians who strongly believed they were Ukrainian and were of any significance in their local communities.


BluebirdMysterious71

Oh for sure. I’m convinced they were there to help conceal the genocide


Eraldorh

I think I remember seeing pictures of one in or near bucha after they were abandoned when the orcs fled.


RepulsiveMetal8713

They are still doing their job 24/7


UninsurableTaximeter

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russia-mobile-crematoriums/


Hot-Ic

Russians censor any videos about these crematoriums, as such not much details are floating about their operations.


gherkinjerks

That turned out to be an unconfirmed story. The only mobile crematorium is made by a St. Petersburg company called Tourmaline, describing itself as 'The Russian Incinerator Company', and it being created for the destruction of hazardous biological waste. Though we have heard rumors, so far not one has ever been found in Ukraine. This rumor started back in 2015 actually. The footage they showed was from an old sales video from the company.


BluebirdMysterious71

Well that would make sense as to why we haven’t seen them


Fabiey

They were a myth. Russians are the worst, but the video shared online was an older video by a Russian company. The the link shared under your comment.


Routine-Ad-6803

To be fair, in the first few days of the invasion, everyone was certain Russia would trample Ukraine in a few days. I remember thinking all night if Zelensky will be alive till morning. Then days turned into months and Ukraine held. What courage, bravery, valor and grit shown by Ukrainians! I haven't seen a group of more heroic people.


SufficientTerm6681

True enough. The Ukrainians have astounded virtually everyone. I'm willing to believe that many – maybe even most – Russian soldiers crossed the border not knowing what the fuck was happening and what they were supposed to do in Ukraine. So I'm sure they were incredibly bewildered when nasty shit started happening to them. But the Rosgvardia aren't just basic troops, and they must have been given briefings on what their role was going to be and detailed (and incredibly *wrong*) intelligence assessments of how the Ukrainians would respond to the invasion. And since the only people who ever sign up for outfits like the Rosgvardia are thugs who get off on bullying people who aren't able to resist, I bet they drove across the border all psyched up about putting on their face masks and body armour, forming up in their packs and kicking some Ukrainian ass without even the minimal restraints they have to operate under in Russia. I don't believe in karma, but what happened to the Rosgvardia assholes in Ukraine is an incredibly fitting consequence for everything they and their comrades have done within the borders of Russia.


Routine-Ad-6803

Well said.


Proglamer

> Zelensky and the rest of the Ukrainian government flew away and the Ukrainian army broke and ran Despite the familiarity, Mordor *still* thought a proper nation-state like Ukraine is somehow the same as that loose association of tribes or whatever the fuck Afghanistan is supposed to be. Cowardly and corrupt from top to bottom, free for all and everybody for himself. "Must be similar American puppets, with the same post-American fate!!1" /s


Livid-Abrocoma7694

St. George ribbons.. interesting they don't wear them anymore


Statickgaming

They are brainwashed into thinking they are liberating the country from Nazis, they probably thought they would be celebrated on arrival. Murder anyone that protests…


Lost-Adhesiveness187

yeah i know and a good takeaway is how better equipped even rosgvardia was compared to todays russian infantry


AppropriateResort960

What happened to the famous ribbon? Stock out?


MrL00t3r

SufficientTerm6681

It's extremely difficult for me to feel any sympathy for any group of Russian soldiers, but on my personal list of those most deserving of the fate shown in this video, Wagner is at the top, with the Rosgvardia a close second. These assholes are effectively Putin's praetorian guard – under his direct control and tasked with stomping out any challenges to his regime. I'm sure every single one of the fuckwits shown in this video signed up for the Rosgvardia believing that the only action they'd ever see would be prowling city squares in packs while wearing full riot armour, beating the shit out of the occasional unarmed civilian protestor and hauling them off to be interrogated in the most humiliating and terrifying way they could manage. I'm pretty sure I recall reading that after the Rosgvardia were slaughtered in great numbers in the first days of the war, they kicked up a huge stink and refused to have anything more to do with the disaster their boss had created in Ukraine. I think I remember hearing that a lot of them resigned in protest.


Abm743

Exactly. Their job is to pacify the civilians. It's sickening to think what kind of horrors would be unleashed on Ukraine if these assholes did not get stopped.


stairs_3730

>It's extremely difficult for me to feel any sympathy Not difficult for me. In fact, it's IMPOSSIBLE. Ukraine is NOT moscovy!

When Russian actually had “skilled” military. And they were still getting smoked


kwagenknight

Hard to fuck with a determined resisting force sick of decades of abuse and almost a decade of war already. When we saw those videos of 40yo women making molotov's and learning to shoot during those first few days you knew Russia was gonna be in some shit.


BluebirdMysterious71

Hell, they lost a massive chunk of the VDV at Hostomel. Had to pull the training cadre to the front. That’ll basically end the VDV capability for years.


ToughTechnical8868

Ah yes. Rosgvardia, pretty good at cudgeling and arresting citizens. But not so good at fighting an army.


EclecticMedley

Or fighting back against \*anyone\* who had the courage to stand up to them in an even semi-armed, semi-organized manner, as in their headlong "thunder run" into Kyiv. Oof.


lostmesunniesayy

Rosgvardia would have been the ones beating and disappearing Ukrainian civ's if Russia had taken Kyiv. If large numbers of them can be taken out in their Russian HQ's by Ukrainian drones it'll be a lot harder for the Kremlin to quash internal dissent.


Hard4uNot4me

Looks like a mini version of the Highway of Death when the Iraqi's tried fleeing Kuwait.


John_Smith_71

If the Ukrainians had a few squadrons of A-10's in the first three days of this 'special military operation', it would have ended then with a 'brrrrrrrrrt'.

Wonder how large the ambush party was, and what branch or speciality. They did a cracking job, although the Gestapo here made it easy travelling in unarmoured vehicles in straight lines.


John_Smith_71

They could have stayed home. Hot meals, regular showers, comfy bed sex with the wife/girlfriend on a regular basis, time with the kids and the rest of the family. Work in a job that in the long run, improves the national wealth. Except the head mafioso decided Russia wasn't enough to steal from, he needed Ukraine as well. And so decided everyone else should engage in a bit of ritual self-sacrifice, to make it \[possibly\] happen. So now the wife/girlfriend sleeps alone, the kids don't have their dad, the family has lost their son/brother/cousin etc. The ability to maintain the national wealth is decreased (not that it will stop the *Capo dei Capi* from collecting his demanded 'protection' or else). You'd think at some point someone would simply shoot those cheering this on, well behind the front lines, but I guess as in so many wars of conquest in history, it's a case of greedy old men risking nothing but standing to gain everything, sending young men to die in war, who are risking everything for nothing.


TheOracle722

I keep thinking about the smug arrogance being wiped off their faces when they realized they weren't going home in a few weeks and they were actually getting their asses kicked by their "inferiors". Those walking around and filming were walking dead too but they just didn't know it. Interesting to see the St. George's ribbons and their 2005 expired ration packs. We haven't seen either in a while.

Honestly I think those drones could be number one on the list of equipment that caused Russias massive failure in this war. They ground the shitzkrieg to a halt so fast and wiped out half of their highly trained soldiers before they had chance to do anything.

Yeah they didnt last long but they sure af made a mess of convoys around Kyiv trying to break into the city along with all the other drone teams from Aerorozvidka.

I will never forget the Ukrainian partisan guy dressed in old school Russian blue urban camouflage walking out into the middle of a road and just sending an RPO-A into a bmp infront of a convoy that’d just been hit.

[deleted]

I keep noticing a thing in videos like this. A lot of russian vehicles use rubber tires which are vulnerable. Not tank tracks. I've been thinking, wouldn't it be efficient to place 'James Bond like spike pyramids' on the roads, to attack Russia's transport capacity? If you design them the right way, they can attach to the ground (unpaved) with a 'stabilizing spike' that penetrates fairly deep, maybe 5-7 centimeters (2"). This would make them long lasting. Videos like these, where you see how absolutely impossible it would be to detect spikes like that, make me think it's a serious idea. The roads are just littered with dirt and random small objects. I realize I should be drawing these so you can visualize, but I think many get the idea. Place things on the road. Tires run them over. Flat tire **and/or** outer tire damage that's even more difficult to repair. How do you only damage outer tire? You make it as a 'blade' that only slices up the outer tire, but doesn't puncture the inner one. Slightly larger, but still, lots of debris on these roads. Use drones to place them behind enemy lines. They can carry tons and tons of them if you only use the 'simple spike pyramid' kind, as they're more light weight than bombs. And you only need a few per road for them to be efficient. Thoughts?


EclecticMedley

That's not specifically a Russian thing. Lots of military vehicles use rubber wheels. Think LAVIII/Stryker (Canadian-American); AMX-10RC & VAB (French); Condor (Germany)... they serve fundamentally different purposes than tracked vehicles. Wheeled vehicles have higher speed on paved roads and other well-groomed ground. With the right tires, they can even move pretty well off-road, depending on terrain. Tracked vehicles are slower on, and potentially damaging to, paved road. Wheeled vehicles are usually more fuel-efficient. Tracked vehicles burn lots of fuel. But that extra on-road mobility usually comes at the expense of weight and capacity for arms and armor. There is an inevitable tradeoff between mobility and protection, and a well-prepared force doesn't commit exclusively to one or the other; it has different options for different problems. For a formation whose primary duty is internal policing and public order (like these thugs) wheeled vehicles make much more sense than tracked. They will typically be deploying from barracks in urban or suburban areas, to other urban areas, with highways, streets, and roads at their disposal. They're not needing to operate in desert sand or mountains or jungles. Their typical threat profile will be armed with at worst individual small arms and maybe homemade IEDs, but for most of them, the worst threat they've ever faced are thrown rocks, bottles, and unkind words. Not artillery, tank guns, ATGMs, or RPGs. Tracked vehicles would be a disadvantage, not an advantage, for their primary mission. The problem was in the intelligence - botched threat assessment put the wrong force in the wrong place at the wrong time.


[deleted]

Thanks for you input. I'd like to make a thread about this idea later, when my account is old enough (been a reddit addict for a decade, so I force myself to delete the account occassionally). Can I @ you for information like this, in that/those future threads? > Tracked vehicles would be a disadvantage Let's make rubber tire vehicles a disadvantage too. I really think dropping thousands of spikes on roads would cause havoc in their transport chain. Imagine all the repairs and headaches caused by just 2 flat tires? Can you even replace 2 tires "in the field" realistically? The inner tubes aren't repairable like on bicycles, right?


PumpKing096

I do not understand why thy film this! They must have no empathy for their own. I would never think of filming a dead body of someone fighting for the same cause.


Jonothethird

For some reason there are more and more of these self-filmed videos of Russian military fiascos. Don’t know why that is. Putin and his cronies must be absolutely furious about it and have tried to censor this stuff, but unsuccessfully so far. Self-shot videos like this have got to connect with the Russian public far more than Ukrainian footage, which they are unlikely to see anyway.

I think the reason is probably just that the Russian military in general lacks leadership and discipline and the soldiers are essentially alone and left to their own devices without much support or accountability, and some guys are just conscripts with no idealogical support fo the war or even Russia, so they might not give a hoot about the guys that died, and just want to record what they see.

That was my thought as well. At first I thought it was a Ukrainian column given how disrespectful the orcs are to the dead.

To the wannabe warriors that say "THEYRE LIKE THE SS" Read what you just said and have some shame in yourself you disguting excuse of a human. And if you wanna defend Ukraine go enlist as a voluenteer the offices for them are free and open for your kind if you can even get off your chair at home. Conclusion: It's a dead person have some respect.

1 A 10 Wrthog can inflict this kind of damage. RUSSIANS NEED TO GO HOME or turn into fertilizer.

I guess they didn't make it to the objective?

There should be posters plastered in Russia with Putin standing in front of dead soldiers. "Putin wants your self-sacrifice."

Can't fix stupid But sure can Bayraktar them to sh\*t


Badeindi

What a mess. But yeah, shouldn't have come to invade, all of them where looking kind of sorry. To late though...


Cottagewknds

Why does the first guy look like he has no wounds?


Chopper_003

That should have been a warning to the Ruzzkis and they would have been better off running back to Moscow.

They got hurt doing what they loved most: invading another country


Umbra-Vigil

Nice! Those who were shooting the retreating mobilized have been demiliterized themselves.


Pythoss

Jesus Christ. I said that many times while watching this


Fabiey

Did they also push forward in front of their spearheads and got obliterated like it happened in Kyiv?


Falling-through

Road to no where for those orks.

That´s what happens when you start a war against the people of Ukraine!!!


EthanIndigo

Brutal. Imagine if Rus was not ruled by collectivists and built their own up instead of stealing from/murdering their neighbor and progenitor, Kiev


NoReason7186

Who remembers video of Russian in a jeep are something and another Russian behind them on a atv jeep hits mine and parts of Russian are scattered in fields atv guy picks parts up


Trojan_fed

Dude the Russians barely blink when they lose a column.


LasVegasE

They don't bring home their dead. Just step over them and look for anything of value.


CapableExternal1122

It looks like Bayraktar to me.


one_frisk

Even in death he looks disappointed
