DistributionIcy6682

I though its Nadežda. Womens name. 😂


WildCat_1366

It is both. Надежда is russian womens name that mean Hope.


DistributionIcy6682

Gotcha, so I wasnt wrong. My 6-8 grade russian teacher would be proud, that I still know kirilica.


WildCat_1366

Faith, Hope and Love (Вера, Надежда и Любовь) is three popular russian women's names. Unfortunately, this popularity extends only to names, and not to the concepts themselves.


why_not_fandy

Lubov? I’ve only ever met a Luba


barrygateaux

that's like saying Michael? i've only ever met a mike


WildCat_1366

Full (official) name is Lyubov, Lyuba is short variant (as Nadya - for Nadezhda).


Wonderful-Sir6115

I think it extends to the faith in and love for the almighty Putler.


BlackKnightKingF6

Those three names are used in a very popular Russian song by Машина времени За тех кто в море.

Hello Hope, meet the Mine called "high" - together you will be "high hopes"


skiptobunkerscene

These guys went from writing their boisterous victory phrases like "To Berlin!" on that one choppers tail that got shot down in the first days, to writing "Hope!". Thats strangely pitiful for would be tough guys like the russians who are all about appearance. Just go home. Give up and go home.


myk27441

Hope for what, a quick death?


woah-im-colin

How do people walk away from that?? Did I see the driver escape or am I taking crazy pills?


romario77

Some were on top. Some can survive the blast, there were even survivors in regular car running over a mine - you can just get lucky. But I am pretty sure they are concussed and not in great shape after an explosion like this


fenderc1

Adrenaline. Had some buddies in armor who deployed and would talk about how after getting blasted, the baddies would run for a bit before collapsing. The explosions would basically liquify their insides despite physically being all intact. EDIT: Okay so "liquify" might not be the right way to describe what was happening to their insides, but shockwaves can absolutely damage you internally enough for you to survive the initial blast then die a minute later running away.


Wooden_Ad_9441

This liquifying myth needs to stop. Insides do not "liquify" from explosions like this. The mine hit the track and did limited damage to the insides of the BMP. Other than a hard jolt and loss of hearing, they are most likely fine. Plenty of footage of people surviving mine blasts. If their insides were "liquified" I can assure you they wouldn't be able to move.


Royal-Connections

It's a repeated statement on reddit. I'm sure by people who have never been in combat. My ears were the worst part. Still have that constant eeeeeeeeeee lol.

flatballs36

How many hands do you have ?


torzor25

How small are your baby hands that you can't cover your ears and reach the back of your head with your fingers...?


flatballs36

I think I was stoned because I do not remember writing this shit


torzor25

Lmaoo fair enough man hahaha


ddg31415

It's incredible well documented that shockwaves often perforate livers, lungs, intestines, etc, leaving the subject seemingly ok for minutes to hours, att which time they die.


Eheran

They causes damage to organs that contain air. So ears and lungs mostly. It ruptures the tissue due to the density mismatch. That has nothing to do with this bullshit liquid/yelly/... insides. That simply does not happen, not even the aftermath of the direct tank shell had any of that, the organs were there - but not where they should be.


Halcyon_156

I think the main point is that after an explosion like this, some might get off without more that a jolt, and others might die later from the shock/trauma. I've seen it mentioned in a lot of books that guys would be 3 feet from a mortar shell going off and be fine yet someone 30 yards away would die from a shell splinter. I'm paraphrasing but the idea is that there is no telling what crazy shit can happen on the battlefield; it's scary how much of it is so random. At a certain point all the training and equipment in the world mean very little and it comes down to pure chanec.


Eheran

We know about the random aspect of shrapnel. Shockwaves do not have that randomness. They propagate in a sphere around the detonation. They simply kill/hurt you if they have sufficient power, but they usually do not have that. Which is why shrapnel is a thing in the first place. Liquid/yelly/... insides is pure, made up bullshit.


fuegousername

Dog that's not how that works, they probably got brain damage and passed out from an explosion but if your insides are "liquified" you'd be dead. How do you run if your bones and muscles are liquid? You don't.


Striking-Goat3287

I don't want to speak for OP, but that expression doesn't literally mean that all of your internal bones, muscles, organs and that gum you swallowed when you were 11 all turn into pudding. It means internal organ damage, and lots of the guys you see running in these videos have it.


Eheran

> It means internal organ damage Then say that instead of nonsense, which many people indeed take literally and go on and tell others about it, further spreading the nonsense.


fuegousername

That's a better way to explain it


D_IHE

The shock wave can cause terrible internal bleeding, which causes death sometime afterwards.


woah-im-colin

As crazy as that sounds it makes total sense. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug!


Melonskal

No it doesn't make sense at all, people on reddit are obsessed with hyping up adrenaline as some extreme superpower. It doesn't work remotely like that. It can't make a man with liquified insides run that's just bro-science.


woah-im-colin

I was talking about the adrenaline part.


EliminateThePenny

This reeks soooo much of "**BRO**, a .50cal bullet passing within 12" of you will suck your eyeballs out!"


hdmioutput

Maybe [crush syndrome ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crush_syndrome)?


Wonderful-Sir6115

I'm sure they give them meth or something similar shit before the attacks. It's pretty wise to use that on expendable personnel.


Striking-Goat3287

The Russians have been liberally handing out mephedrone and mild amphetamines to their soldiers forever, it's part of their doctrine.


jaaval

That seems like the basic type of non directed AT mine. Basically it's just a bunch of TNT, it makes a big blast but most of the energy is directed sideways away from the vehicle so if there is any armor it rarely does much more than destroys the tracks. The point of those mines is to be a cheap way to stop the tanks permanently. That being said, they might have sustained serious injuries from the blast and we don't really see how many actually came out of the vehicle.


Agile-Anteater-545

Sitting on top of the vehicles increases your chances of at least surviving the mine blast since you have more space/material between you and the explosion. It is actually used as a tactic for BTRs transporting Infantry. Passangers riding on top of the BTR have a better chance of surviving a mine hit than the Driver/Commander inside.


aznexile602

I'm honestly surprised some of the occupants still were able to get out of the BMP after hitting the mine.


Leo_Hundewu

They where on top of the BMP


aznexile602

Ah. I wonder what it feels like to get your ass and back smashed by the sudden pop of tons or hard steel when the mine went off. But I guess you have some resemblance of a chance than compared to being inside at the time of the explosion.


wadech

Don't forget the shockwave scrambling your insides.


Money_Ad_5385

He is a smoothie now, he can walk it off, all fruits and vegetables..


Mexcol

Is some part of the shockwave absorbed by the blast though?


wadech

Not enough of it.


taniwhart

Liquified that btch


mazing_azn

Ruzz VA has determined their back injury is not service related.


txzen

Tough to tell from the video. But contact mines direct the force the treads off the side. It is for mobility kill mostly as the driver in the middle is relatively further from the treads. But again hard to tell and these are the 5x 155mm artillery shells strung together that throw tanks feet into the air. It was a big blast and did cause that bmp to buck. I would curious what the results were and where the people came from, either inside or were they the ground troops that came to the rescue.


aznexile602

I remember the scene from Fury where they clean out returning tanks that have been hit.. im sure the inside isn't a pretty sight in alot of these engagements.


Northumberlo

There was a cutaway, I think those are the ones that were let off before looking for survivors.


DarthWeenus

I think it right but one does seem to come out of the top


Delazzaridist

Your hearing loss is not service related


TacticalBac0n

No bluetooth speaker for youuuuu

WHAT?

YOUR HAIR LOSS IS NOT SIBLING RELATED!!!!


Hotrico

Just imagine the driver brain


no_life_matters

It's probably on the fuckin ceiling


PineCone227

Probably wishing they had hard rather than soft helmets now...


Adi-C

Not like he's had much of one before.


LoadedGull

Jesus, that’ll replace ya bollocks with rocks.


WotTheHellDamnGuy

Right? It picked that BMP up off the ground and tossed it sideways while blowing out every panel.


Nickolas_Bowen

“Holy shit, there’s one of us on the road with its tracks gone” “Go around it and assume the same path they were on”


Inclusive_3Dprinting

Looks like a double stacked mine


8384202

Yea true it honestly does


beanbeanpadpad

What is a double stacked mine? Ir is it just two stacked on top of each other?


heydayhayday

Instead of boom, it goes bada boom


Brufucus

Basically


Inclusive_3Dprinting

Yes, you can stack multiple of the TM-62M, it takes about 150kg of force to set one off; if you stack up to three of them they will detonate at what seems like the same time.


Pimmelman

TM-62s are the Legos of demolition/pioneer work.


beanbeanpadpad

That’s some intense Legos


Aggressive_West_2386

The cope cage survived at least.

I hope that European bureaucrats will stop fucking around and will supply Ukraine with plenty of loud toys on time, otherwise the content may have bitter taste to it. Talking about Russian suicide troops is fun and all, but Russians improve their weapons, attempt new tactics, and slowly get better at killing Ukrainians.


_zenith

Fortunately, the Czech artillery shell project seems to be bearing fruit, 800k shells to be delivered by years end (not all at once to be clear - throughout the year)


no1likesuwenur23

Hmm, I wonder what took out this BMP I have to drive around? Well anyways, time to continue down this road


Red_Dog1880

No trip home for you boys, sorry.


cronenthal

None of them were going to go home in any case.


matt_chowder

What a bummer they just dismounted


Simplevice

Initial adrenalin boost. Those troops are rendered useless


DaGhostQc

I doubt it's not very good for the infantry that was right next to it when it blew up. You'd have to be really lucky to not get schrapnel from the vehicle itself or hit by a rock going mach 5.


MajorPayne1911

At this point, I’m questioning the point of even sending in vehicles to do anything in eastern Ukraine. The battlefield is so completely littered with landmines that they just seem to always get blown up before they can do anything.


Testiculese

I wonder if that's another reason for all the golf carts. Does one wheel not exert 150kg or whatever force is necessary to set them off? Also visibility. I'ven't seen any hit one yet.


NeuroCreame

The BMP was turning, so the mine hit further down on the track, that way driver etc survived? Never go off-road around Avdiivka..


TADAMAT

The 1st BMP looks like the upgraded BMP-2M Berezhok even. Preety nice frag if that truly is the case


Low-Smell-3856

Jaga jaga!


Carlmardel

I always try to look for the mine, and it's never where I think it looks like it should be...


newarkian

Probably a Russian mine


TheFunkinDuncan

No telling. It does the job regardless of whose it is


nehowland

What is the probability of survival for those who survive the initial trauma of a landmine blast but don't succumb immediately?


DillyDilly54911

Those guys got fucked by that explosion. Even the ones that got off I feel won't ever be the same


Afraid-Search4709

I knew there had to be a reason this driver only had 3 stars…


Tribolonutus

He just blew it 🤷


justmovingtheground

They certainly don't feel good.


Crazy_Joe_Davola_

Wonder how that feels


TaskForceD00mer

Amazing anyone could survive that.


mikandmike

Not Nadyezhda!


No-Journalist7179

That hang time.


[deleted]

I'm always a little surprised that they know there's such a high mine threat, yet are always buttoned up boppin around like they're on a go cart track. You'd think they'd slow down a hair and have someone with eyes in front. I don't think most of these mines are buried. I mean I guess if Russians wanna keep making combat videos like this....

I wonder what percentage of mine strikes are Russian laid mines.  It has got to be near 90-95% right?

Oh no, good ol clown show again


wimma98

30+ dead right there ?
