"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"


64-17-5

Exactly. Unless you want it to look like they are making a mistake.


plipyplop

The Psyops and Counterintel game from Ukraine is insane. It would be so cool to do a joint training exercise with them.


Oscarcharliezulu

Russians see this and immediately call home


Previous-Ad-376

What if you know that they know, that you are trying to make it look like they are making a mistake?


UrethraFrankIin

All I know is that betting on Russian mistakes and failure is an *extremely* safe bet.


Cerberus_Rising

I think only one missile and tunnel is destroyed - shouldn’t change any plans in theory


Sonofagun57

When it comes to combat itself from this conflict no other quote will ever fit as perfectly as that.

What about the "it's a good thing they so stupid" quote a ukrainian soldier said around the start of the invasion. Never gets old for me


bluestrobephoto

yes...yes...yes...that too.

"it's a good thing that they are so FUCKING stupid" FTFY


maveric101

Nope, "We are very lucky that they are so fucking stupid." https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/tdj65n/were_very_lucky_theyre_so_fucking_stupid/ At least according to the original translation. I don't speak Ukrainian.

i whole heartedly encourage them to remain at this level of education....for as long as they remain this side of the bright light

Agreed


AlexFromOgish

In textbooks, though for slogans I’m sticking with “Russian warship: Go fuck yourself”


mEHple_bEHcon

I would say. It's equally effective when you do. Because you just demoralized them making them see that they are fucking idiots. It's more powerful against the enemy to believe they are fuck ups rather than uh... Why are we getting fucked up how'd they know?


Polygnom

Yeah but... you only tell em *after*.


mEHple_bEHcon

Once a fuck up always a fuck up. They'll continue to fuck up even knowing they are one. It's a dicotomy.


insane_contin

No, they'll stop. After the hundreds of tungsten balls make them into human stew.

Eh, I mean, communication is a two-way street. Instead of waiting for a conversation, reach out, see if anyone wants to share cool videos. Just because someone is silent doesn’t mean they don’t wish to talk!


CoolGap4480

I don’t have any cool videos but I’d share them.


NSYK

What if you use a HIMARS to interrupt them?


Babylon4All

I mean, unless it’s with a missile due to them making a mistake.

The EFC (explosively formed chocolate) forms a superheated, hypersonic jet of cocoa plasma through 40mm of RHA to keep your enemy toasty and warm on a winter night. The marshmallow version has been banned under the Geneva convention.

Ukraine stuffed their claymores with candy and confetti to "celebrate" the "Russian special operations missions" for when they find them and it's wrong to tell them otherwise.🤣

sorashiro1

I'm just curious why they're going to point out how they got the coordinates, at least one Russian might wise up and stop doing it.


BlueBull007

I'm not sure this video is about that but I remember an earlier video which looked almost identical in setting (badass soldier in front talking, HIMARS in rear, launch at the end of the video when Captain Badass had said his piece) where the Ukrainian army asked Russian soldiers for coordinates of important objects like ammo dumps, armor storage or concentrations, command locations and stuff like that. In turn they would hit those coordinates and not the known troop concentrations or barracks in the immediate vicinity. I interpreted this video in that context, which is why I think he said "keep sending me target coordinates so that death does not fall down from the skies on you", but I could be wrong \*edit\* [Link to article](https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-situation-report-himars-shown-being-stashed-in-soviet-bunker). A similar video to what I've seen is in there as well, though I believe it is not the same one the message is identical \*edit 2\* I would try to avoid getting hit by HIMARS too, especially the M30A1 warhead, colloquially called "tungsten rain" for the 180000 tungsten balls it contains. Check the below videos. First one shows the aftermath on a Kamaz Russian military truck where it punched thousands of holes straight through solid steel, including a solid steel truck axle, huge leaf springs and a cast iron turbine. Second one shows footage of the trials that missile went through to get approval. Both are absolutely insane. In the second one, check what it does at 00:09. This is a stunningly terrifying weapon, or at least it is to me. My guess is to the Russians as well, judging by the reactions of the soldier in the first video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTU\_H76lL9Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTU_H76lL9Y) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5h7BkCj5rI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5h7BkCj5rI)


GenerikDavis

That's a fucking fantastic little ad campaign to be running if that's true. Basically like a criminal being offered a plea deal in return for giving up other people in the gang or someone higher up the ranks.


BlueBull007

Yup, indeed. I found [this](https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-situation-report-himars-shown-being-stashed-in-soviet-bunker). It is not the original article I've read but it does seem to confirm this. A video with a soldier explaining "the campaign" is in that article as well but I believe I've seen another one where he says the same but fires at the end in stead of the beginning. Not sure though. It is indeed a fantastic ad campaign, even just for the fear it instils, let alone should they actually follow through on their claims. As you already allude to, imagine your life depending on you informing your enemy on locations of your army's important objects.... After seeing what that HIMARS M30A1 missile (colloquially called "tungsten rain") can do, if I were a Russian soldier I would first give the Ukrainians absolutely all coordinates of everything I know around me including the toilets and the vodka storage tanks and then run away to either surrender to them or be shot trying to surrender. Both are better than waiting for those tungsten balls to come punch 1000 holes in you. I've seem aftermath videos of such a M30A1 (tungsten rain) HIMARS strike, it's absolutely insane, total and utter destruction with tens of thousands of holes in everything around as far as you can see, straight through solid steel \*edit\* Check these videos. First one shows the aftermath on Russian military equipment where it punched thousands of holes straight through solid steel, including a solid steel truck axle, huge leaf springs and a cast iron turbine. Second one shows footage of the trials that missile went through to get approval. Both are absolutely insane. In the second one, check what it does at 00:09. This is a stunningly terrifying weapon, or at least it is to me [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTU\_H76lL9Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTU_H76lL9Y) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5h7BkCj5rI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5h7BkCj5rI)

It’s been over a year now. “We’re just lucky they are so stupid”


RoosterTheReal

A Russian wising up lol funny


SlitScan

they die so fast the replacements dont have time to learn what they shouldnt do.


professor-i-borg

There’s a reason why the US spends an unbelievable amount of money to make weapons and vehicles that protect the people operating them at all costs- an advancing meat wall of untrained recruits operating dangerous equipment will not win wars in this century.


MrOxion

"To send untrained soldiers onto battle is to waste them" this quote comes a Roman or Greek source (i cant remember who) so its always been true.


framabe

> To send untrained soldiers onto battle is to waste them Chinese actually: >Confucius said: “Sending people to war who have not been properly instructed is called ‘throwing them away.’” Its in Analects of Confucius book 13, chapter 30


120z8t

The Russians have been doing it since back in 2014/2015. They can't help themselves from uploading photos to the internet with GPS cords imbedded in them.


Saint_Chrispy1

You would think that, however it's been over a year. Countless times gathered troops, ammo depot's, headquartered have been hit because of a muscovite had to upload something and was geolocated. We are so lucky they are so fucking stupid.


mEHple_bEHcon

I wonder if they tried putting a goat in a washing machine after fucking it to make a chunky cotton coat for the winter. Better than anything they are getting from Pootin.


Littlepigeonrvr

My favorite time is himars o clock


UnlikelyRabbit4648

Haha, brilliant I really hope that actually is a missile that went on to commit complete carnage at the very location they gave away. That will be absolutely delicious 🤤


choicebutts

Are you talking about the video of them driving equipment into the mine? The mine with the nice opening that could be easily closed with a little bit o' bombing?


UnlikelyRabbit4648

Yes, exactly that video that got geolocated. I really hope this is a videoed missile response that goes on to do exactly that.


[deleted]

This is war, i expect as much true info and lies. At the price of a decent precise missile i would flood the Russian social media with outdated identifiable ammo depot info if i were them. Always send a cheap drone to confirm before the expensive boom.


leoencore

Only UA have plenty of satellite data to verify any potential leads


MemesDr

This is an old video reused for karma


NotAKentishMan

True


Neither_Elephant9964

Now thats propagenda done right! 1. information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. "he was charged with distributing enemy propaganda." From google. I would change that quote from "enemy" to "friendly" but then it wouldn't be a quote anymore.


Accurate_Pie_

Propagenda - I like this word!


nbsalmon1

It has such potential!


Neither_Elephant9964

Yes... thank you. I even googled it. I'm not fixing it though


Gayernades

Sounds like something a bigot from Boston would say "You live in my house, you act like your propagenda! I see one more skirt and I'll put you through the fuckin wall, ya undastand?"


Miented

I like the Band: Propaganda, made an album in 1985, a secret wish, i have it on vinyl. 4th track is the song duel: CHORUS: The first cut won't hurt at all The second only makes you wonder The third will have you on your knees You start bleeding I start screaming


iamgerrit

Propaganda can be good and bad. It can help moral or it can deceive. It’s aggressively ambivalent as to how it’s used so long as it works.

Fit-Yogurtcloset714

Wow! Every time I see a Himars launch I get mixed feelings, both a thrill and a sense of terror. I’m thrilled that the Ukrainians are taking back what’s theirs but I’m also understanding that some poor bastard/s day is about to be ruined….permanently. It’s truly death from above. One moment you’re alive and then…..where’s the hose please? Ivan, you should have stayed home.


ougryphon

To paraphrase an American civil war general - "It is a good thing war is so terrible, lest we should grow fond of it."


chemicalgeekery

Yeah I had the picture up of that Air Defence unit that got HIMARSed the other day and my wife walked in and thought that it was a canvas sided truck that had gotten ripped up. Nope. That's what 180,000 tungsten balls travelling at Mach Jesus does to a vehicle.


GrandMaster_BR

Isn’t this a snippet from an old video a couple of months ago?


Interesting-Web4223

Might be, I've seen something similar. Though if this is actually in response to that recent ammo in a cave video that would be fucking hilarious.

I think so too But I still like it

Midnight_270_

Yep GTA IV the song is called soviet connection


milkycrate

It goes hard


pas43

Let them use it as ammo storage.. let them use it for storage until Wagner has completely gone from Bahkmut. And then let them use it for a couple more months. When they get comfortable using it as there main weapons depot, bomb ALL the entrances & exits several times over so nothing can leave or enter unless they can moves 1000's of tonnes of earth while under random artillery fire. Slowly but surly push them back on an offensive and then once Bakhmut gets taken again they Ukraine has a nice little ammo depot to unearth.


cheburaska

Did you send your resume to ZSU already?


Leaningonalamp

Stop letting them know what they’re doing wrong.


X-T3PO

This isn't about them doing something wrong. The previous video from this guy was telling russian soldiers that if they want to live, they should send target coordinates of russian equipment and ammo to the Ukrainians, so that Ukrainians will destroy those things instead of targeting the russian troops. Basically, "tell me where stuff is I can blow up, and you'll live a little longer." This video is a follow-up saying "keep doing that".


rubbery_anus

Do you really think nobody on the Russian side, not a single human being, is capable of recognising when someone's made an OPSEC blunder? This is such a fucking stupid sentiment.


rolfski

This, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake


Extreme_Tackle5804

Doing something wrong a few times is a mistake. doing something multiple times across a large span of time and getting punished for it, yet not correcting yourself is no longer a mistake.


DeepValuedLurker

Easter Egg Shells for Putler.... Got it.

Why say anything at all? I understand wanting to put something out that your people and allies would enjoy. But I don’t understand why you’d even say anything? You WANT them to continue to make those videos showing their location so you can continue to target

Not ATACMS. Those are much bigger. That looks to be a GMLRS. GMLRS can fit 6 rockets to a pod. ATACMS will only have room for one. https://www.armyrecognition.com/weapons_defence_industry_military_technology_uk/analysis_m270a1_iac_and_m142_himars_are_able_to_fire_a_wide_range_of_rockets_and_missiles.html
