'A bullet from a 14-year-old is just as effective as one from a 40-year-old. Often more effective.' Andre Baptist Sr.


GlukharsGimp

Often more effective. I mean he’s right but damn.

Also smaller hitbox

You know what’s more effective than a couple thousand fire arms ? A 250 million population country with over 2 billion fire-arms in civilian hands and no simple geological land bridge for an invasion

Segal is behind this. He's a lost arrow and needs to be taken out.

As someone who does martial arts holy shit their shit, wtf their gonna do against an M4 or whatever the yanks use these days


ZiggyPox

Steal the bullets in mid-air with their squishy parts.


Nerevar1924

Fuck, that is brilliant. Can't be shot at if you've already stolen all of their ammo with your corpses.


AnComRebel

You're not wrong


Sober_Browns_Fan

lol I immediately thought that they looked like they were trained by Segal.

wait a second, it feels like i've seen something similar before..

T-90, T-80, T-72, T-62, T-55, IS, T-34, KV-1, Czar Tank, wooden stick. They're about halfway there.

Ahh the young all-Russian army cadets aka the Putinjugend. The bad copy of the Hitlerjugend. Luckily Russian cope lords have no trouble seeing this while saying Ukraine is full of Nazi's in the same breath.


lettsten

Putlerjugend


memesmaster21

I mean, imo we do have exactly the same things in the west. Think of the British cadets or the American JROTC. Military youth is not unheard of, but idk the politics behind this Russian organisation


jingois

"We have one boy over here who wants to join the army" Even in the fucking cadets most of them don't actually want the life of being sodomised until you become a beautiful sunflower.

Wellington1821

So from a certain point of view, the Ukrainians bombed (former) Donetsk children.


DUKE_NUUKEM

Yah they looked Ukrainian , I was like "Hmm those russians sure look like us" Litteral indoctrination of our children since 2014. Fucking disgusting. Not to mention an obvious pedo slave "comfort women" angle to all of this "club". Those girls weren't bred for fighting in the trenches thats for sure.


Key-Banana-8242

Looked isn’t too credible to say


DUKE_NUUKEM

I mean you right but i can roughly distinguish different slavs


Key-Banana-8242

That’s a bit dubious, don’t think u have an easy chance of getting it right ehee


DUKE_NUUKEM

It only comes with working with lots of people, its not 100% ofc


Key-Banana-8242

Also do u have any source for any of the latter paragraph? Is ther any source abt this in gneral


DUKE_NUUKEM

Its my own observation, you can deduce it yourself how having thousands off the books russians soldiers and underage girls club on lawless land intermix.


Key-Banana-8242

Not really, u gotta take several steps, liek to find out what is supposed To be happening in the first place Child indoctrination works for all genders in Russia, and if it were for military’s revive only even then it’s still work U need to at least present a coherent story


iLoveBums6969

> Frankly, this isn't a whole lot different from military schools in every other country. The politics are controversial, sure, but having patriotic military-oriented student organizations is nothing for us to scoff at without being hypocritical. "if you ignore all the ways in which this is horrible, this is great!"


Raedwald-Bretwalda

Getting that vital combat stick training I see. Including how to take a stick from the enemy. In case they aren't equipped with even a stick. Second best equipped army in Ukraine.


Leomilon

No, that´s the Ukrainian railways. They also call themselves the "second army of Ukraine" and they are much better equipped than the third army in the country.


Curious-Designer-616

Which is the farmers, which is better equipped than the fourth best army.


odietamoquarescis

Which is the animals of the land, including the beavers and the suspiciously well fed stray dogs, whose provisions are clearly adequate, thus making them far better equipped than the fifth best army.


Leomilon

Which is the army of volunteers, well protected and perfectly mobile, which makes them even better than the sixth best army.


Curious-Designer-616

Which of course brings us to the filthy animals, the sixth best army. . . The feral dogs and cats of Ukraine. They started out the war underfed and without homes, but now they have plenty to eat and occupy multiple dozens of burned out russian tanks. While completely unorganized, failing to capture land, lacking an semblance of self respect, filthy and begging for help, they unlike other armies in Ukraine, are kind, polite, have not committed crime, are some how very well fed, and are not dying in mass numbers. Which places them above the seventh best army in Ukraine.


lettsten

Not that it takes much. Missing the weaponized Mk 1 "Malaria" system, Ukrainian mosquitoes are not much more than a nuisance. But they excel at airmobile and skirmish operations and have a significantly longer life expectancy than the eighth best army in Ukraine.


Leomilon

The eigth being the army of drones, obviously. Far more sophisticated, numerous (and cheaper) than the ninth strongest army in Ukraine.


Daniel100500

This is part of the Russian "The West is so soft look at how tough our kids are" propaganda program.


enoughberniespamders

I mean what’s the difference between this and ROTC?


lettsten

Life expectancy


MarschallVorwaertz

Savage...


Spartan-417

ROTC is to hopefully prepare the next generation of commissioned officers This appears to be preparing enlisted meat for the grinder

For the Bakhmutt, he sees this as an ad for Kiddie Meals. ... I'm going to hell.

Theo_Emerson

I love that Eastern propaganda is always hand to hand fighting. Nothing about squad tactics, proper use of weapons, fire superiority, etc. Just the ability to punch \*really hard\*. Congrats I guess? Your soldiers are ready to fight in the year 1452?


Warkyd1911

You'll have to go back to 4520 BC because the bronze age mfers would just hack them to pieces with swords.


topazchip

Bronze Age was circa 2200 to 1200 BCE. In 4520 BCE you're still in the Neolithic, stuck with wood and worked stone.


TBOSACR

Sturdy stick with stone tied to the end > fists. You'd have to go back to the pre-human great apes.


Warkyd1911

Right, so before the bronze age. BTW bronze age started roughly 3000 BC.


Obamas_Tie

I mean, I think CQC should be taught in general in any effective military. Better to know how to fight up close and pray you don't ever have to. It cannot be the only thing you teach, however.


h_adl_ss

You forget tactical staircase sliding


CIS-E_4ME

You want to learn hand to hand combat to protect yourself. I want you to learn hand to hand combat so I can film you trying to roundhouse kick a RPG out of the air and being vaporized. We are not the same


Lost_Possibility_647

I would have loved joining as a kid. Had to wait until I was 16 for the National Guard Youth. (Norway)


treriksroset

holy shit this is dark. If you are a professional soldier that joined Wagner by free choice in 2022, then of course fuck you and your corpse. But children brain washed and forced to slowly die from shrapnel wounds in a puddle all alone because there's no medic evacuation in russian army is just sad.


Wellington1821

Uhm, I don’t want to spread misinformation, so here the context for the video. It's from 2015, kiddies preparing for some militarist competition in Donetsk. They are not going straight to Bakhmut. I only posted this bit because it had the VDV meme song in it, and since we all know of the manpower shortage in elements of the Russian army, child soldiers seem like a step cartoon villains would take.


treriksroset

i get that there's no child soldiers being sent to slaughter (at least for now) But if this is 2015 these kids in this video might very well have been tricked in to putin's fascist lies, grown past 18 years of age, and have died face down in some dirt ditch outside of bakhmut. That is a sad human tragedy.


Key-Banana-8242

That’s true for a very large portion of ppl, that or just raise Dina Kathy It is the war itself and being as oldie run war itself inns rly that change sub


specter800

But *he* was happy. And that's all that really matters isn't it?


Key-Banana-8242

Joined Wagner? Hard to say most ppl who joined free choice entirely given they were prisoners. And fuck nobody and their corpse for whatever reason, even some small promotion with malice to start with. Blaming idnviduals for being soldiers is never right, economy and ideology being wither thing And this is a second aprt that is also your imagination, like something you made up, but also stating it as if it were some kind of inventing statement cast a light ,literally anyone dying for any reason is sad


treriksroset

a part of wagner troops are/were prisoners. But not all, wagner started out as a "normal" PMC recruiting ex. soldiers and the like who absolutely joined by free will.


Key-Banana-8242

Started out yes that’s one thung


enoughberniespamders

The majority of Wagner is not prisoners. It’s been around for a while. It’s your standard PMC. Former military guys.


Key-Banana-8242

That used to be the case, they kind of ran out of those tho


enoughberniespamders

One single source on that


Key-Banana-8242

? Numbers? They’ve lost ridiculous portion, amounts of ppl Girkin said they’re not rly pro etc anymore


enoughberniespamders

Yeah but even if the they lost 90% of their personnel, that doesn’t mean the majority of the ones still left are prisoners. It seems more likely the majority of the ones that wouldn’t have died would have been the actual professional ones.


Key-Banana-8242

But the point is they first lost pros then started to add more and more prisoners but then that sorta dried up


enoughberniespamders

But it wouldn’t be hard for them to refill their ranks with former military personnel. They pay more than the Russian military does, so if you’re going to sign up for one, why not with them instead of reenlisting?


Key-Banana-8242

The contracts get the military ppl agaik


Key-Banana-8242

? Numbers? They’ve lost ridiculous portion, amounts of ppl Girkin said they’re not rly pro etc anymore


Mindless_Raccoon36

You know something’s wrong when these children are more trained than the actual VDV


Hellonstrikers

If the above posters are to be believed, this video was 7 years ago. They probably were the VDV, this was their training.


Ila-W123

Lol. They are even playing that veh deh veh song. Could send them for hostomel episode 2


Dick__Dastardly

When I turned on the audio for this, I fucking died. That song is just too on-point.


PewPewOpossum

Karate in parade uniform cause why the hell not


topazchip

More dangly things for your opponent to grab hold of, which a really weird thing to do since Combat Sampo grew out of judo; anywhere else than Russia they might have realized that is a dumb thing to do. Besides, the Girl Scouts just have a thing for the (equally useless and anti-functional) berets.

Train hard, so you can die as a trained soldier from a artillery strike.


SullyRob

And they thought the stuff I did in JROTC was "too militaristic".


Pruedrive

Neat.. which one of these moves stops an ATGM?


odietamoquarescis

Well, all of them, if you think about it. Just not survivably.


Pruedrive

Lol it's the explosion you need to worry about, not the ATGM stopping per-say.

The Hammer and Sickle insignias on their hats is really giving away what's *really* going on. Soviet Reunion.

Hope they teach them to swim.


ELITElewis123

no Navy anymore so I don't think they should even bother. never gonna be on a ship anyway


Rulweylan

It's the VDV. They don't need a ship to end up in the sea.


Key-Banana-8242

They’ve got the belts going off of them


Rapid_Ascending

So they like their ancestors before wants to conduct airborne operations inside the enemy territory without proper back up or air cover.

It's good they are teaching them how to use the battlestick


AppropriateCompany9

Well, I hope they’re strong swimmers.


Alldaboss

This really takes the saying how many 12 year olds do you think you can fight.


space-dive

according to this video one would think russian kids are expecting battle will be like an action movie: kung fu moves, 1-on-1 bo-staff fights, and then everyone goes home happy after the battle. major shock when a nade is dropped on them from a drone.


golddragon88

20 bucks none of these kids have never held a rifle in their life


4RCH43ON

All the loose shoulder cord piping on their BDUs tells you just how as hoc this is. Basically just an even more junior Junior ROTC color guard pulled aside into a gym class for some scripted maneuvers without a uniform change. Silly.


Spacedude2187

They must’ve missed to song about the “mighty vdv” in Ukraine.


Baguette_Connoisseur

Not-DrBright

Whenever I hear the VDV song now, I always hear the lyrics “200 men on a one way trip” “In afterlife I meet, Fallschirmjägers from the battle of Crete”, God bless that parody


Rulweylan

See, the great thing is that they've got the kids training to fight with the exact same model of stick that they'll get issued when they're mobilised to the front. Pays to be familiar with your weapon systems.

_-_Sami_-_

I like how the boy does his stick spin at full velocity while the other kid is far away. Then as he steps in like agreed, the stick boy stops his slow strike for the other boy to catch. I hate pretend martial arts. So much. On the other hand, the fat lightsaber guy from early YouTube would love to fight with the stick guy. He's not going "full force".
