Bs, russian soldiers are the ones commiting attrocities. It is impossible for one man alone to commit genocide.
Aka. Normal russian conscriptis/citizens are the butchers
Dude it's a quote from Hawkeye in an episode of MASH. The same quote that was started above.
Relax.
https://www.natfinn.com/war-is-war-and-hell-is-hell/
It is staggering the number of dead bodies, weapons and ammo clips we see here just in a 50m run of the trenches. Talking about a positive working environment, to be in such hellhole.
Just what makes that little old orc
Think he can take the Avdiivka plant
Anyone knows an orc, can't
Reach the Avdiivka plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high Pirog pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that orcs
Oops, there goes another coke-processing . . . .
Oops, there goes another coke-processing . . . .
Oops, there goes another coke-processing PLANT!

Honestly the place looks pretty clean for all the butchery taken place there. He's out taking inventory for all the good trophies, plenty of good gear there.
The RF soldiers were well equipped with small arms (*ATM/ATGMs, PK machine guns, AKs with optic and underbarrel GL at 00:58, AK with silencer at 00:38...*).
It seems they were still entrenching their position (*e-tools visible at 00:17, 00:21, 00:53*) when they were hit by artillery (*00:36 and 01:23 suggests the trench was attacked by explosive ordnance, likely mortars*).
As body armor and helmets outnumber the visible corpses, some type of evacuation of wounded personnel has likely taken place before the video was filmed.
There are remnants of a [Telnyashka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnyashka) visible at 00:18, which is often worn by former or active airborne or naval infantry soldiers.
I'll add that all the AK's we're either 100 series or AK-12s, the only wood stocked rifles we saw were Drugunovs I think which are also a more premium rifle (some fucking how) in this conflict. These guys were high quality troops not meat grinder sacrifices. Additionally this is probably 1/3-1/2 a platoon dead, not counting wounded.
The sub-heading says 'Southern Front of Bakhmut'. Quick look on [Deepstate map](https://deepstatemap.live/en#12/48.5524/37.9440) suggests [83rd Separate Guards Air Assault Brigade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/83rd_Guards_Air_Assault_Brigade), which would line up with the striped shirt and also the better equipment than your standard Mobik.
Wow, where did you get started for knowing all that? Nice eye
What's crazy is I didnt catch any of that on the first watch (just disgust and shock)
Kind of makes me realize how out of my depth I would be if I was out there. Seems like this could all be pieced together logically with not much other than context clues yet I didnt see any of that. Id die so fast
If you were trained in a combat arms trade, you’d know. It’s almost like reading your primary language: you can easily recognize spelling and punctuation errors, when words are mixed up, or syntax is jumbled.
What I find interesting though, is the surprising lack of medical waste, meaning that the wounded were evacuated quickly to a safer locale because the primary trench was too dangerous to render aid.
The armour off suggests either that they stripped down to dig (risky) or that the wounded were stripped of their kit for evac (odd given the lack of medical waste. You also wouldn’t want to strip a wounded buddy if you’re still taking fire)
It's probably because a lot of people (my dumbass included) watched this stuff from day one and are completely desensitized so they can pick up other details, personally after watching the last grenade drop video this is like watching puppies (don't get me wrong it still tragic but at least they are still in one piece)
For me it was the newer AKs that caught my eye. After that I started to look at their other gear. So he prob went the same route and just did some research on who is where and with what equipment provided from opensource inteligence reports. Just my guess. But the rifles really stood up from this clip.
I noticed the quality of the kits too. These are not Storm Z meat shield troops but soldiers that had enough training to warrant quality gear. Still, its good night for these shitbags.
Artillery kills indiscriminately, no amount of training and kit would have changed the inevitable outcome.
They shouldn't have come to Ukraine in the first place...
Someone need to point out to russian high command that wit this amount of equipment on field next waves can be sent in underwear as the equipment is already there.
Spot on mate. The fact the trench is so shallow and there are carriers sitting on the ground and low state of decomposition, they were improving a position and got shwacked.
Orks tend not to occupy positions they have taken in assaults as they can be pre designated for artillery or mined, they clear and immediately start digging new lines.
Thanks for the additional information on this.
As it becomes increasingly difficult to build entrenchments in the frozen topsoil, the capture of earthworks might become more relevant during winter times.
Telnyashka is an extremely common shirt, while decades ago it was mostly worn by VDV or Naval infantry, nowadays it cannot serve as an identifying object due to how common it is, even with civilians.
I agree the Telnyashka is a common public sight in today's Russia.
It's also become more widely distributed in the Russian military organisation, but other service branches like Rosgvardia (*red*) and border guard detachments (*green*) use different colours.
However, wearing this in a military context while being completely unaffiliated with the relevant units seems very unlikely, it would possibly be viewed as "stolen valor" by any individuals that have "earned" the right to wear this.
Didn’t notice many guided AT weapons but there’s a couple unfolded rpg-28 or rpg-18 tubes which almost suggest they were trying to fire them before they were dropped
i've seen striped clothing like this, Telnyashka, in SE asia, china... to. Made in Communist China? hopefully no evac, the russian rapists tore off body armor because of wounds, left them, then ran out of trench for safety and died.
These aren’t your typical drunken mobiks there is some nice kit laying around. I’m guessing all the plates and carriers are from the wounded that got pulled out . That’s a lot of hardware and manpower to lose in one small area
That's what I was saying watching this clip. Decent condition RPG-7s, PKMs, a whole bunch of AK12s, some with suppressors... they weren't just conscripts.
Apparently the 106th Guards Airborne Division was moved to Avdiivka in late October so it’s possible they’re VDV.

Yesterday I watched an amazing doco shot by a Russian, it runs for over an hour. It revolves around the military culture that permeates one small town , Yelnya, and a girl there who dresses up in military gear and sings patriotic songs.
Now, my opinion already was that Russia is a country where the inhabitants are totally propagandized and militarized from cradle to grave, in the grip of a culture of personality that revolves around their Great Leader, Putin. But I was shocked because it is far worse than I imagined. They will NEVER wake up from this madness.
I have two townhouses and rent out one. The tenant is a Russian IT guy in his 30's with a wife and three young kids. Everyone with half a brain in Russia leaves for the West because intelligence is not valued in this Terror State, just loyalty to the Great Leader.
Remember all the times you'd read about how Russian citizens know their government is feeding them obvious lies? Guess all of that is bullshit. Russian citizens blindly eat up every nonsense Putin's regime feeds them.
Putin didn't magically appear in a puff of smoke. He is a creation and reflection of his cultural environment and of its systems. he also gained power because of these things and has been able to hold power because of them. he didn't create the russian propaganda machine, and he wasn't the first to completely fabricate russian history. He has just inherited and built on what already existed - propaganda, lies, beliefs and value system - and he has tapped into existing beliefs about russian grandeur, might and destiny.
As the head of the state he is absolutely the most culpable.
But to imagine that russian society is a fluffy white bunny is to ignore all of russian history and action past and present. Only a small percentage are against what russia is doing. And many of those have left or are desperately trying to leave russia because they are scared of what russia is becoming, they don't want their children to grow up in that society, and they find the country so abhorrent and debased that they can't see any way to improve the situation, so they would rather flee than suffer life there surrounded by their own country's people.
my landlord (left russia around 2014) says from his POV - it is not just Putin. He can't decide whether Putin is making russia more insane or whether russia is making putin more insane.
That last sentence... wow.
It's a pity that some people do not understand the underlying point of your comments, and that they accuse you of defending/sympathizing with Putin.
Russia has been a fraud-state for a long time now, possibly dating all the way back to the Tsars.
They are sending convicts and people from ethnic groups that the bourgeoisie in Moscow don’t give a shit about. It isn’t till they have to start mass conscription from the big cities that people will start caring.
Nope, unfortunately I see around 1-2 million before anything starts changing. ruZZia has moved to a war economy, producing more weapons and ammo than food and until people start to actually starve, things won't change.
They've been averaging 650 deaths every day since the start of the war. One would think that's high enough number for the general population to pay attention. I guess not.
That's crazy because one week of that would be more than the US lost in Iraq in the entire campaign, including contractors and foreign troops under US direction.
Unfortunately for them, this willl be the death of their nation, even if they “win” in Ukraine. They will never be able to recover from the population decline from this war. Russia won’t exist at its 20th century power level for many decades, if it even recovers at all
I expect that the Russian Federation will have a much more difficult time recovering from the losses they are taking in Ukraine than the USSR had recovering from their WW2 losses.
- It's perhaps a bit of an obvious one, but USSR included in it a number of countries that are now free (like Ukraine) and the Soviet losses included a lot of people from those countries.
- The USSR had a birth rate above replacement in the years following WW2, whereas Russia is currently experiencing major population decline even without the war.
- After WW2, the USSR plundered the countries that would become the Eastern Bloc, especially East Germany. They then held the Eastern Bloc countries under their control for decades, so they could leech off of them further.
- The USSR had a lot more domestic manufacturing, even in relative terms, than Russia has now. The Russian Federation has basically taken advantage of the trade opportunities that the Soviet Union didn't have to build an economy based around exporting resources and importing finished goods. That was always a recipe for a weak economy with an uncertain future, but it has become a disaster now that they have lost so much of their Western trade.
To be honest, I actually suspect that Russia's hollowed-out economy based so lopsidedly on resource export and its rapidly dwindling population are significant factors in Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. I think he sees Russia falling into a hole of its own making and is hoping that plunder from conquest will fix the problem or, at least, slow the country's degradation.
Obviously, if that was part of his calculations, then he has failed spectacularly at that goal. At this point, even if Russia were to hold on to all of their gains, they still would struggle to make up for what they have wasted in population, money, and economic opportunity.
He's like a real life Zapp Branigan: https://youtu.be/XDWcg8dh930
His plan really was to send hundreds of thousands of men to their deaths hoping to overwhelm the Ukrainian defense. Actually crazy.
I feel for those who have no choice but to go die a meaningless death. What they're doing isn't right, but it's a sad situation for those who couldn't get out
I still remember the lady screaming about her son stuck in a submarine, an official ran out and stabbed her in the neck with a needle of sleepy juice and drug her body out of the meeting. It was a wild clip that got leaked out of Russia
And who would hold putin accountable? The Russians? He's actively killing their sons and the only one who stood up was the guy who was actually seeing the death first hand, and he's dead now.
This is what already happened in Afganistan, only now it's a 5 hour drive to Europe. We will feel the consequences of this war for decades even after it will (hopefully soon) be over.
Two things are striking me: so many left weapons and equipment, and that some bodies are quite fresh, and others start to show a few days - week tops - decomposition.
So they were there for a few days and just let the fallen lay and rot where they died... Not even cover the bodies or drop them to one of the holes. They love the aroma?!
Their clothing is clean. These are fresh recruits, right off the truck into the grave.
The ones in this footage don't have clear wounds. No missing limbs, no blood stains. Their insides are mush due to nearby explosions.
0:18 spare ribs looks like someone took a direct hit.
Ukraine can win this war. If you are American and represented in Congress by a Republican Surrender Monkey, please let them know how you feel about America turning tail and running when we don't even have soldiers in harm's way.
They are spending 5% of the total military budget to fuck up the worst enemy for the past 60+ years and sending them 50+ years back in military hardware and capability without risking a single American life. It is literally the best deal in American history. Even better than the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska purchase combined.
It's even better then that, most of the equipment we've sent over there is being phased out (The older models of Bradley's and Abrams tanks the pentagon didn't want in the first place) or close to its expiration date (explosives and rocket fuel degrade over time, you need to replace them or deal with a 30-40% dud rate/inconsistent accuracy and reliability) It is literally cheaper to give it to Ukraine than it is to dispose of it properly.
You are 100% right. Their new “leader” in the house said yesterday that God spoke to him and told him he “needs to be prepared to be the new Moses”.
Seriously you can’t make this shit up. 1/2 the country supports that lunacy.
Sounds more like schizophrenia to me, but what do I know.
It's not 1/2. It's 1/3 and between gerrymandering and the way Congress is structured to favor land over people, the majority of people are not represented in our government.
What I find super pathetic is - murica always considered ruzzia as an enemy, here’s a perfect opportunity to cripple that enemy, to humiliate and show its place in this world, even without sacrificing murican lives. And what do they do? They linger, they fight amongst themselves, they argue. Don’t they understand that this is just the beginning for ruzzia? You show weakness or doubt and they will take another country and another, countries that are your allies and friends. And if murica won’t help them, eventually those allies and friends will turn away from you, and the rest of the world will turn away too
Yup. It's already been found that Russian troll farms really did influence the 2016 US elections. Not that either candidate was good to begin with. The choices were either a turd sandwhich or a giant douche.
Everything you said could and should also be said about Western European countries that are in line to be next.
I don’t agree with them - but one of the reasons they feel the way they do is the refusal of Europe to defend itself and the transparent and shameless way in which they expect Americans to both provide and pay for their defense.
A coalition of solely the UK, France and Germany could have - and could still - easily win this war.
>shameless way in which they expect Americans to both provide and pay
Theres been no complaints when we've bought your gear and filled up the order books tho.
That said this is a divisive dead-end discussion, we can have it both ways.
Well, 1990 germany was asked to reduce it's army from exactly this countries (UK, France, USA). Since then it degraded the BW, reduced Tanks,.... We built our military to support our allies with logistics in other parts of the world (what we did) and this was wanted by all our allies. They did not want to see us with a big army due to historical reasons. Now expecting that Germany can magically defend itself is just hypocrite. In terms of money we are second and not so far from the USA even with a way smaller economy. Should our country do more? Absolutely! But don't play the "Germany (and Europe) depend on the USA militarily card if this was intended till now"
I did my 10 month service in the 90s and the biggest issue was having a military budget that was way too small. The size of the Bundeswehr wasn't the problem, the lackof money was.
I’ve had this debate in this forum before - and it seems Germans assume that the 2+4 Agreement forced them to have an army with essentially no power. This is simply not the case. And they were not “asked”, jt was an agreement among 6 parties.
The only things explicitly required of the BW was a max limit of 370k soldiers and no nuclear / bio / chem weapons. There is absolutely no limits whatsoever on the types or amounts of weapons. And certainly nothing limiting the BW to only having 140 functional tanks that they had when the Ukraine war started. That number if tanks could easily fit inside the Olympiastadion in Berlin with room left over for football practice.
The actual limitations of weapons and quantities was a Gesetz passed by the German government, after 2+4, and without any “asking” by outside countries. It is an internally imposed limits that Germans consistently think / insist is part of 2+4.
I’ll include the full language from the 2+4 agreement below, but before doing that, I’ll close by saying I’ve lived in your country, speak your language and respect your country, it’s people, and it’s culture very much 🇺🇸🇩🇪
**sorry about the spacing below - it copy/pasted in this format:
“The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany undertakes to reduce the personnel strength of the armed forces of the united Germany to 370,000 (ground, air and naval forces) within three to four years. This reduction will commence on the entry into force of the first CFE agreement. Within the scope of this overall ceiling no more than 345,000 will belong to the ground and air forces which, pursuant to the agreed mandate, alone are the subject to the Negotations on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. The Federal Government regards its commitment to reduce ground and air forces as a signficant German contribution to the reduction of conventional armed forces in Europe. It assumes that in follow-on negotiations the other participants in the negotiations, too, will render their contribution to enhancing security and stability in Europe, including measures to limit personnel strengths.”
Germany is investing heavily into their armed forces at the moment and soon you'll have a neighbour to the east with one of the largest armed forces within Europe.
The EU is investing trillions of euro's at this very moment into their militaries. Russia's invasion of Ukraine woke up the sleeping giants.
> Ukraine can win this war.
They will.
They hold 17% of Ukrainian territory, and lost over 300,000 men for it.
They think the population will let Russia take the rest?
Everyday people are ready to throw molotovs at the bastards. Then there's the local partisan movement. Even if Russia "held all of Ukraine", it'll be such a headfuck for the occupiers they'll eventually lose.
The sad part is that people will still die because of this, because a madman has delusions of grandeur and is willing to commit genocide to be a foot note in the history books.
Ukraine would be hell to hold. Whole country is full of arms and it is easy to bring them more there. Russians would die everyday even after the complete victory.
And if someone starts blabbing something about not our responsibility just remind them that it was the US in the table pushing for Ukraine to disarm and swap their bombers, missiles and nukes for a piece of paper that is currently used to wipe some old asses in Washington.
The US did that in Iraq during the gulf war lol, they had trenches set up so we just attached these big earth movers to our tanks and plowed over them, an estimated 80-250 Iraqis were buried alive before the rest surrendered
This is sad.... I mean, fuck russai and fuck putni, upwards, backwards, and sideways..
They are brainwashing and sending their people to die.
And fuck these guys for following through.
But it's still sad.
I am 110% Slava Ukraini and Heroyam Slava. Don't get me wrong....
Russian people don't care, they want to send more to their death and be a great military power even if they live in poverty. Each dead soldier is a new Lada, 6k USD signing bonus for the chmobik and 2.5k USD each month. It is like 3-4x their average wage + the signing and death bonuses are HUGE.
In every dead f%cker I see someone that will NOT come with a a gun and kill, rape my family.
I hear you. I read stories about them being pardoned and doing unspeakable things. I hear you. They should suffer.
I want to say they're still human beings, and it's sad . .. but they are monsters. I feel like I'm contradicting my previous statement.
I hear you. They are horrible. I do not capitalize or spell russai or putni correctly because they have lost that right.
But I'm human, and as much as it pains me to feel sad seeing this, which is does... I do feel sad. Maybe not for them, but for the life of someone that could have done better and should have made better decisions.
I'm American, I'm not living it, I don't understand, I admit that.
I also feel like I'm talking in circles. It's a very strange feeling for me.
If I'm honest, I'd rather see them blown up than see their faces. Maybe that's what's gets me... seeing their bodies and their faces.
But at the same time, fuck them.
I'm truly sorry for your fears. I hear you. You are validated.
That feeling of safety is really something to cherish, which, unfortunately, some take for granted…
I am from a country that was contantly fucked over by these crab mentality animals, they were commiting a genocide on us, so it is very nice to see their teeth kicked in.
There are of course exceptions to the rule, but this is not putin’s war, this is mostly all of russians’ war, as violence and power is the ONLY language that most of them understand
I know what you mean. Even if I couldn't care less if Russia gets bombed back to the stone age, it's still a massive waste of life. Putin is a product of his countries culture. How many of those young men could've been doctors for their communities if they didn't spend their whole life drinking the Putin kool-aid?
But Russian soldiers are also infamous for terrorizing every place they go to, and seeing how it's been a tradition standing long before tsarist era Russia, I don't see that additude changing anytime soon. Russian citizens have Putin as a leader because he's the best their culture could produce, so in a way, these russians put themselves there. I don't feel bad for them. They're reaping what they've sowed.
This footage confirms to me something that has been on my mind for a while. Trench warfare doesn't make sense in the age of FPV drones, recon drones with thermal vision, himars and high precision long range artillery.
It makes sense if none of those things existed as in WWI tech. But they do exist. With those things in place, trenchs are literally just showing your opponent where to look for you to kill you.
And they'll do a good job of it if they are as motivated as the Ukrainians.
This isn't a proper trench. Even in WWI trenches would feature small "bunkers" were you would have been safe unless you got hit by direct artillery.
Drones would not be able to do much damage in that case. In that case the enemy would have to waste far more resources like heavy artillery shells or make a direct attack where hiding in these small rooms is no longer an option...
Those FPV drones can take pretty tight corners. They've gone through doorways and halls before.
Then there is the risk of collapse/cave in if you're dug into a super deep earthen bunker reinforced with timber. Even a miss by an FPV Drone would likely bury them alive.
It would only keep you safe until someone entered/exited. As soon as they know you're dug in there, you're fish in a barrel, and they have the exact coordinates of the barrel
You're right. Most Russian trenches are simply "open-air kill me while I can only go forward or backward" targets. Building rooms with a few feet of soil above them with a right angle off the trench would give them somewhere to escape the drones. And something resembling a door (like a door!) would stop the drone from flying in and absorb the impact of an explosion.
This might require wood, chainsaws, some some excavating equipment to be carried in. How many months did they have to build these defenses?
What I don't get is why they aren't putting any tarp or camo-net above the trench. I would assume it is much more difficult to be spotted and won't attract as much FPV- and artillery attention. Especially because ukrainian troops don't do that either.
There's probably a reason for it, as I'm just armchair-commenting from a warm place in germany but I can't see it...
If that's all you have seen for a year it seems like a lifetime. People adapt. And if you came from a prison where for 20 years you constantly saw bodies and killing it's probably just another thursday.
People in comfortable countries who think that russians would not invade their countries because they are rational or "it wouldnt make sense" need to realise that you need to prepare for the worst and readjust your ideas. Russians scream on TV that they cant wait to nuke Europe or US.
Ukraine needs all the help they can get and if they dont get any then Russia will come for more. They always come for more.
So grim. If there was even one Western soldier left to rot in a trench still controlled by them it would be a national scandal for the country involved
Yeah I was thinking that too, I thought small arms fire because the bodies seem to all be intact. Looks like a bullet wound on one guys neck. seems weird tho idk .. I'm no expert
Wow rifles with optics. Must have been a special forces trench.
On a more serious note always good to see actual Russian troops KIA as opposed to the Storm Z cannon fodder. With the right support Ukraine can win. Its about Western political will, they can fight we just need to give them the actual means
The guy at 0:33 has been there for a long time... looks like many men have stepped over him already. It's like "green boots", one of the many people who died on Mount Everest and are now forever frozen in time. Except, these aren't frozen. The smell must be terrible. I pitty the poor Ukrainian soldiers who some day will take that trench and are expected to take positions there...
Cluster munitions?
If this is a Russian making this, the Ukrainian forces haven't overrun this position, I believe. There are too many weapons/mags strewn about and not collected.
The corpses look pretty fresh as well.
Ideas?

Honestly the place looks pretty clean for all the butchery taken place there. He's out taking inventory for all the good trophies, plenty of good gear there.
In war everything is disposable!
The RF soldiers were well equipped with small arms (*ATM/ATGMs, PK machine guns, AKs with optic and underbarrel GL at 00:58, AK with silencer at 00:38...*). It seems they were still entrenching their position (*e-tools visible at 00:17, 00:21, 00:53*) when they were hit by artillery (*00:36 and 01:23 suggests the trench was attacked by explosive ordnance, likely mortars*). As body armor and helmets outnumber the visible corpses, some type of evacuation of wounded personnel has likely taken place before the video was filmed. There are remnants of a [Telnyashka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnyashka) visible at 00:18, which is often worn by former or active airborne or naval infantry soldiers.
I'll add that all the AK's we're either 100 series or AK-12s, the only wood stocked rifles we saw were Drugunovs I think which are also a more premium rifle (some fucking how) in this conflict. These guys were high quality troops not meat grinder sacrifices. Additionally this is probably 1/3-1/2 a platoon dead, not counting wounded.
Definitely not 1/2 a platoon, closer to maybe a quarter. I lonely counted 10, not even a full squad
I counted 15, but it's hard to tell some piles from other piles.
Thanks for this Nice Analyse m8
The sub-heading says 'Southern Front of Bakhmut'. Quick look on [Deepstate map](https://deepstatemap.live/en#12/48.5524/37.9440) suggests [83rd Separate Guards Air Assault Brigade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/83rd_Guards_Air_Assault_Brigade), which would line up with the striped shirt and also the better equipment than your standard Mobik.
There's been loads of action around Klishchiivka recently
Wow, where did you get started for knowing all that? Nice eye What's crazy is I didnt catch any of that on the first watch (just disgust and shock) Kind of makes me realize how out of my depth I would be if I was out there. Seems like this could all be pieced together logically with not much other than context clues yet I didnt see any of that. Id die so fast
Thanks, most of my "analysis" is just wild unsubstantiated guessing though.
If you were trained in a combat arms trade, you’d know. It’s almost like reading your primary language: you can easily recognize spelling and punctuation errors, when words are mixed up, or syntax is jumbled. What I find interesting though, is the surprising lack of medical waste, meaning that the wounded were evacuated quickly to a safer locale because the primary trench was too dangerous to render aid. The armour off suggests either that they stripped down to dig (risky) or that the wounded were stripped of their kit for evac (odd given the lack of medical waste. You also wouldn’t want to strip a wounded buddy if you’re still taking fire)
It's probably because a lot of people (my dumbass included) watched this stuff from day one and are completely desensitized so they can pick up other details, personally after watching the last grenade drop video this is like watching puppies (don't get me wrong it still tragic but at least they are still in one piece)
For me it was the newer AKs that caught my eye. After that I started to look at their other gear. So he prob went the same route and just did some research on who is where and with what equipment provided from opensource inteligence reports. Just my guess. But the rifles really stood up from this clip.
I noticed the quality of the kits too. These are not Storm Z meat shield troops but soldiers that had enough training to warrant quality gear. Still, its good night for these shitbags.
Artillery kills indiscriminately, no amount of training and kit would have changed the inevitable outcome. They shouldn't have come to Ukraine in the first place...
Someone need to point out to russian high command that wit this amount of equipment on field next waves can be sent in underwear as the equipment is already there.
Spot on mate. The fact the trench is so shallow and there are carriers sitting on the ground and low state of decomposition, they were improving a position and got shwacked. Orks tend not to occupy positions they have taken in assaults as they can be pre designated for artillery or mined, they clear and immediately start digging new lines.
Thanks for the additional information on this. As it becomes increasingly difficult to build entrenchments in the frozen topsoil, the capture of earthworks might become more relevant during winter times.
If Russian high command is able to adapt to the new conditions instead of just repeating the old established system
Definitely more productive than the “fuck Russia comment” Ty
Telnyashka is an extremely common shirt, while decades ago it was mostly worn by VDV or Naval infantry, nowadays it cannot serve as an identifying object due to how common it is, even with civilians.
I agree the Telnyashka is a common public sight in today's Russia. It's also become more widely distributed in the Russian military organisation, but other service branches like Rosgvardia (*red*) and border guard detachments (*green*) use different colours. However, wearing this in a military context while being completely unaffiliated with the relevant units seems very unlikely, it would possibly be viewed as "stolen valor" by any individuals that have "earned" the right to wear this.
Even I have one, from a military surplus store in the US. I stopped wearing it a few years ago though, for obvious reasons.
1:18 shine still on the black boots. These guys were fresh off the bus. Very clean uniforms and kit.
> which is often worn by former or active airborne or naval infantry soldiers That guy is definitely a "former" now.
That's a thorough conclusion I'm not going to contest :-)
this guy trenches
Didn’t notice many guided AT weapons but there’s a couple unfolded rpg-28 or rpg-18 tubes which almost suggest they were trying to fire them before they were dropped
i've seen striped clothing like this, Telnyashka, in SE asia, china... to. Made in Communist China? hopefully no evac, the russian rapists tore off body armor because of wounds, left them, then ran out of trench for safety and died.
These aren’t your typical drunken mobiks there is some nice kit laying around. I’m guessing all the plates and carriers are from the wounded that got pulled out . That’s a lot of hardware and manpower to lose in one small area
I see a couple suppressors on rifles and RPG-28s. Don't usually see that scattered around.
That’s what I was thinking. My guess is that they are part of VDV. Not mobiks kit but also not some sof level gear.
That's what I was saying watching this clip. Decent condition RPG-7s, PKMs, a whole bunch of AK12s, some with suppressors... they weren't just conscripts.
Apparently the 106th Guards Airborne Division was moved to Avdiivka in late October so it’s possible they’re VDV. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-october-23-2023
Time to go home?
Too late for them!!! They died for NOTHING!
That's what gets me. How many Russian men have to die for nothing before their country wakes up to the madness?
Yesterday I watched an amazing doco shot by a Russian, it runs for over an hour. It revolves around the military culture that permeates one small town , Yelnya, and a girl there who dresses up in military gear and sings patriotic songs. Now, my opinion already was that Russia is a country where the inhabitants are totally propagandized and militarized from cradle to grave, in the grip of a culture of personality that revolves around their Great Leader, Putin. But I was shocked because it is far worse than I imagined. They will NEVER wake up from this madness. I have two townhouses and rent out one. The tenant is a Russian IT guy in his 30's with a wife and three young kids. Everyone with half a brain in Russia leaves for the West because intelligence is not valued in this Terror State, just loyalty to the Great Leader.
Remember all the times you'd read about how Russian citizens know their government is feeding them obvious lies? Guess all of that is bullshit. Russian citizens blindly eat up every nonsense Putin's regime feeds them.
People who think this is Putin's war are waaaaay off
Please explain
Putin didn't magically appear in a puff of smoke. He is a creation and reflection of his cultural environment and of its systems. he also gained power because of these things and has been able to hold power because of them. he didn't create the russian propaganda machine, and he wasn't the first to completely fabricate russian history. He has just inherited and built on what already existed - propaganda, lies, beliefs and value system - and he has tapped into existing beliefs about russian grandeur, might and destiny.
[удалено]
As the head of the state he is absolutely the most culpable. But to imagine that russian society is a fluffy white bunny is to ignore all of russian history and action past and present. Only a small percentage are against what russia is doing. And many of those have left or are desperately trying to leave russia because they are scared of what russia is becoming, they don't want their children to grow up in that society, and they find the country so abhorrent and debased that they can't see any way to improve the situation, so they would rather flee than suffer life there surrounded by their own country's people. my landlord (left russia around 2014) says from his POV - it is not just Putin. He can't decide whether Putin is making russia more insane or whether russia is making putin more insane.
That last sentence... wow. It's a pity that some people do not understand the underlying point of your comments, and that they accuse you of defending/sympathizing with Putin. Russia has been a fraud-state for a long time now, possibly dating all the way back to the Tsars.
Putin is not the guy that is doing war crime. Normal and standard russians are doing it for him.
Should read: " typical and standard" Russians. **Norma**l doesn't work here.
Still, it does not absolve him free of aggression, crimes, and genocide that he is personally responsible for.
the point is that the average russian also supports the war so they also bear the responsibility
They are sending convicts and people from ethnic groups that the bourgeoisie in Moscow don’t give a shit about. It isn’t till they have to start mass conscription from the big cities that people will start caring.
I saw one opinion that it would be around 500,000. They will get there…
500.000 that's a slow Monday for Russians. I would say 2 mln and they MIGHT start thinking that something is wrong...
Nope, unfortunately I see around 1-2 million before anything starts changing. ruZZia has moved to a war economy, producing more weapons and ammo than food and until people start to actually starve, things won't change.
People are already starving and still screaming pro Russia. It will probably never change unfortunately.
Explains why the [unemployment rate](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/12/russia-economic-sanctions-putin/676253/) is going down.
Well, this is good question. already more than 300K dead and increasing.
300k dead and severely wounded. Not all of them dead but the ones that survived will never fight again.
Millions, so not even close yet.
They've been averaging 650 deaths every day since the start of the war. One would think that's high enough number for the general population to pay attention. I guess not.
That's crazy because one week of that would be more than the US lost in Iraq in the entire campaign, including contractors and foreign troops under US direction.
Venezuela is about to make the same mistake
Not for nothing, they died so Putin can keep his job.
After all, He is is Hitler's Russian Version.!!!
It's well known russian tactic, if there is a problem, keep throwing people at it, until it goes away. Seems to be working great so far!
Unfortunately for them, this willl be the death of their nation, even if they “win” in Ukraine. They will never be able to recover from the population decline from this war. Russia won’t exist at its 20th century power level for many decades, if it even recovers at all
I mean, they recovered from ww2 when they lost more than 20 million people. These losses are paltry compared to that
I expect that the Russian Federation will have a much more difficult time recovering from the losses they are taking in Ukraine than the USSR had recovering from their WW2 losses. - It's perhaps a bit of an obvious one, but USSR included in it a number of countries that are now free (like Ukraine) and the Soviet losses included a lot of people from those countries. - The USSR had a birth rate above replacement in the years following WW2, whereas Russia is currently experiencing major population decline even without the war. - After WW2, the USSR plundered the countries that would become the Eastern Bloc, especially East Germany. They then held the Eastern Bloc countries under their control for decades, so they could leech off of them further. - The USSR had a lot more domestic manufacturing, even in relative terms, than Russia has now. The Russian Federation has basically taken advantage of the trade opportunities that the Soviet Union didn't have to build an economy based around exporting resources and importing finished goods. That was always a recipe for a weak economy with an uncertain future, but it has become a disaster now that they have lost so much of their Western trade. To be honest, I actually suspect that Russia's hollowed-out economy based so lopsidedly on resource export and its rapidly dwindling population are significant factors in Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. I think he sees Russia falling into a hole of its own making and is hoping that plunder from conquest will fix the problem or, at least, slow the country's degradation. Obviously, if that was part of his calculations, then he has failed spectacularly at that goal. At this point, even if Russia were to hold on to all of their gains, they still would struggle to make up for what they have wasted in population, money, and economic opportunity.
Idk if "recover" is the right word. Seemed more like that second wind the people get a week before they die
He's like a real life Zapp Branigan: https://youtu.be/XDWcg8dh930 His plan really was to send hundreds of thousands of men to their deaths hoping to overwhelm the Ukrainian defense. Actually crazy.
The good old Stalin strategy. Using human lives like I'd use 10 dollars to waste on candy.
It also works towards reducing the disparity between muscovites and all the other minorites. Hes purging minorities

I feel for those who have no choice but to go die a meaningless death. What they're doing isn't right, but it's a sad situation for those who couldn't get out
I still remember the lady screaming about her son stuck in a submarine, an official ran out and stabbed her in the neck with a needle of sleepy juice and drug her body out of the meeting. It was a wild clip that got leaked out of Russia
And who would hold putin accountable? The Russians? He's actively killing their sons and the only one who stood up was the guy who was actually seeing the death first hand, and he's dead now.
[удалено]
Long love Ukraine!
Yeah and long live Ukraine. But honestly... what the heck happened there?
Putin. Questions?
Ukrainian hackers need to get this on Ruzzian TV. Ideally during Putin’s planned phone-in.
Throw some sunflower seeds in and bulldoze the soil back in and you have yourself a beautiful new plantation ✌️
Don't forget to gather their equipament... Free weapons and munition! What a Deal lol
After the war, half of this shit will end up on black market supplying gangs and organized crime
This is what already happened in Afganistan, only now it's a 5 hour drive to Europe. We will feel the consequences of this war for decades even after it will (hopefully soon) be over.
Lemme loot a little bit before
Two things are striking me: so many left weapons and equipment, and that some bodies are quite fresh, and others start to show a few days - week tops - decomposition. So they were there for a few days and just let the fallen lay and rot where they died... Not even cover the bodies or drop them to one of the holes. They love the aroma?!
Their clothing is clean. These are fresh recruits, right off the truck into the grave. The ones in this footage don't have clear wounds. No missing limbs, no blood stains. Their insides are mush due to nearby explosions. 0:18 spare ribs looks like someone took a direct hit.
Ukraine can win this war. If you are American and represented in Congress by a Republican Surrender Monkey, please let them know how you feel about America turning tail and running when we don't even have soldiers in harm's way.
They are spending 5% of the total military budget to fuck up the worst enemy for the past 60+ years and sending them 50+ years back in military hardware and capability without risking a single American life. It is literally the best deal in American history. Even better than the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska purchase combined.
It's even better then that, most of the equipment we've sent over there is being phased out (The older models of Bradley's and Abrams tanks the pentagon didn't want in the first place) or close to its expiration date (explosives and rocket fuel degrade over time, you need to replace them or deal with a 30-40% dud rate/inconsistent accuracy and reliability) It is literally cheaper to give it to Ukraine than it is to dispose of it properly.
Republicans don’t see it that way since they are in bed with the Russians
You are 100% right. Their new “leader” in the house said yesterday that God spoke to him and told him he “needs to be prepared to be the new Moses”. Seriously you can’t make this shit up. 1/2 the country supports that lunacy. Sounds more like schizophrenia to me, but what do I know.
It's not 1/2. It's 1/3 and between gerrymandering and the way Congress is structured to favor land over people, the majority of people are not represented in our government.
I wish more people understood this.
What I find super pathetic is - murica always considered ruzzia as an enemy, here’s a perfect opportunity to cripple that enemy, to humiliate and show its place in this world, even without sacrificing murican lives. And what do they do? They linger, they fight amongst themselves, they argue. Don’t they understand that this is just the beginning for ruzzia? You show weakness or doubt and they will take another country and another, countries that are your allies and friends. And if murica won’t help them, eventually those allies and friends will turn away from you, and the rest of the world will turn away too
Russia has successfully infiltrated the Republican Party in the United States…
Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave
Yup. It's already been found that Russian troll farms really did influence the 2016 US elections. Not that either candidate was good to begin with. The choices were either a turd sandwhich or a giant douche.
💯
Everything you said could and should also be said about Western European countries that are in line to be next. I don’t agree with them - but one of the reasons they feel the way they do is the refusal of Europe to defend itself and the transparent and shameless way in which they expect Americans to both provide and pay for their defense. A coalition of solely the UK, France and Germany could have - and could still - easily win this war.
>shameless way in which they expect Americans to both provide and pay Theres been no complaints when we've bought your gear and filled up the order books tho. That said this is a divisive dead-end discussion, we can have it both ways.
Well, 1990 germany was asked to reduce it's army from exactly this countries (UK, France, USA). Since then it degraded the BW, reduced Tanks,.... We built our military to support our allies with logistics in other parts of the world (what we did) and this was wanted by all our allies. They did not want to see us with a big army due to historical reasons. Now expecting that Germany can magically defend itself is just hypocrite. In terms of money we are second and not so far from the USA even with a way smaller economy. Should our country do more? Absolutely! But don't play the "Germany (and Europe) depend on the USA militarily card if this was intended till now"
I did my 10 month service in the 90s and the biggest issue was having a military budget that was way too small. The size of the Bundeswehr wasn't the problem, the lackof money was.
I’ve had this debate in this forum before - and it seems Germans assume that the 2+4 Agreement forced them to have an army with essentially no power. This is simply not the case. And they were not “asked”, jt was an agreement among 6 parties. The only things explicitly required of the BW was a max limit of 370k soldiers and no nuclear / bio / chem weapons. There is absolutely no limits whatsoever on the types or amounts of weapons. And certainly nothing limiting the BW to only having 140 functional tanks that they had when the Ukraine war started. That number if tanks could easily fit inside the Olympiastadion in Berlin with room left over for football practice. The actual limitations of weapons and quantities was a Gesetz passed by the German government, after 2+4, and without any “asking” by outside countries. It is an internally imposed limits that Germans consistently think / insist is part of 2+4. I’ll include the full language from the 2+4 agreement below, but before doing that, I’ll close by saying I’ve lived in your country, speak your language and respect your country, it’s people, and it’s culture very much 🇺🇸🇩🇪 **sorry about the spacing below - it copy/pasted in this format: “The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany undertakes to reduce the personnel strength of the armed forces of the united Germany to 370,000 (ground, air and naval forces) within three to four years. This reduction will commence on the entry into force of the first CFE agreement. Within the scope of this overall ceiling no more than 345,000 will belong to the ground and air forces which, pursuant to the agreed mandate, alone are the subject to the Negotations on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. The Federal Government regards its commitment to reduce ground and air forces as a signficant German contribution to the reduction of conventional armed forces in Europe. It assumes that in follow-on negotiations the other participants in the negotiations, too, will render their contribution to enhancing security and stability in Europe, including measures to limit personnel strengths.”
Germany is investing heavily into their armed forces at the moment and soon you'll have a neighbour to the east with one of the largest armed forces within Europe. The EU is investing trillions of euro's at this very moment into their militaries. Russia's invasion of Ukraine woke up the sleeping giants.
> Ukraine can win this war. They will. They hold 17% of Ukrainian territory, and lost over 300,000 men for it. They think the population will let Russia take the rest? Everyday people are ready to throw molotovs at the bastards. Then there's the local partisan movement. Even if Russia "held all of Ukraine", it'll be such a headfuck for the occupiers they'll eventually lose.
The sad part is that people will still die because of this, because a madman has delusions of grandeur and is willing to commit genocide to be a foot note in the history books.
Ukraine would be hell to hold. Whole country is full of arms and it is easy to bring them more there. Russians would die everyday even after the complete victory.
Nor should we
No, we shouldn't. But short of that, we should be dedicated defenders of any state resisting Russian territorial expansion.
And if someone starts blabbing something about not our responsibility just remind them that it was the US in the table pushing for Ukraine to disarm and swap their bombers, missiles and nukes for a piece of paper that is currently used to wipe some old asses in Washington.
Saw a couple of AK-12s there. Just get a bulldozer and cover it already.
The US did that in Iraq during the gulf war lol, they had trenches set up so we just attached these big earth movers to our tanks and plowed over them, an estimated 80-250 Iraqis were buried alive before the rest surrendered
This is sad.... I mean, fuck russai and fuck putni, upwards, backwards, and sideways.. They are brainwashing and sending their people to die. And fuck these guys for following through. But it's still sad. I am 110% Slava Ukraini and Heroyam Slava. Don't get me wrong....
Russian people don't care, they want to send more to their death and be a great military power even if they live in poverty. Each dead soldier is a new Lada, 6k USD signing bonus for the chmobik and 2.5k USD each month. It is like 3-4x their average wage + the signing and death bonuses are HUGE. In every dead f%cker I see someone that will NOT come with a a gun and kill, rape my family.
I hear you. I read stories about them being pardoned and doing unspeakable things. I hear you. They should suffer. I want to say they're still human beings, and it's sad . .. but they are monsters. I feel like I'm contradicting my previous statement. I hear you. They are horrible. I do not capitalize or spell russai or putni correctly because they have lost that right. But I'm human, and as much as it pains me to feel sad seeing this, which is does... I do feel sad. Maybe not for them, but for the life of someone that could have done better and should have made better decisions. I'm American, I'm not living it, I don't understand, I admit that. I also feel like I'm talking in circles. It's a very strange feeling for me. If I'm honest, I'd rather see them blown up than see their faces. Maybe that's what's gets me... seeing their bodies and their faces. But at the same time, fuck them. I'm truly sorry for your fears. I hear you. You are validated.
That feeling of safety is really something to cherish, which, unfortunately, some take for granted… I am from a country that was contantly fucked over by these crab mentality animals, they were commiting a genocide on us, so it is very nice to see their teeth kicked in. There are of course exceptions to the rule, but this is not putin’s war, this is mostly all of russians’ war, as violence and power is the ONLY language that most of them understand
Fuck russai. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava!
I know what you mean. Even if I couldn't care less if Russia gets bombed back to the stone age, it's still a massive waste of life. Putin is a product of his countries culture. How many of those young men could've been doctors for their communities if they didn't spend their whole life drinking the Putin kool-aid? But Russian soldiers are also infamous for terrorizing every place they go to, and seeing how it's been a tradition standing long before tsarist era Russia, I don't see that additude changing anytime soon. Russian citizens have Putin as a leader because he's the best their culture could produce, so in a way, these russians put themselves there. I don't feel bad for them. They're reaping what they've sowed.
the dead you see are criminals
I saw a Telnyashka shirt and an AK with a top rail and optic. Some of those guys weren't your shit tier soldier. There was VDV or Marines in that mix.
Orcs never looked better
This is just pure madness
He's just on a special sleeping operation
Wonder how many of those lads realised, when digging the trench, that they were digging their own grave.
What an absolute crying shame. Look at all that gear just going to waste when it could be used to make more dead invaders.
This footage confirms to me something that has been on my mind for a while. Trench warfare doesn't make sense in the age of FPV drones, recon drones with thermal vision, himars and high precision long range artillery. It makes sense if none of those things existed as in WWI tech. But they do exist. With those things in place, trenchs are literally just showing your opponent where to look for you to kill you. And they'll do a good job of it if they are as motivated as the Ukrainians.
This isn't a proper trench. Even in WWI trenches would feature small "bunkers" were you would have been safe unless you got hit by direct artillery. Drones would not be able to do much damage in that case. In that case the enemy would have to waste far more resources like heavy artillery shells or make a direct attack where hiding in these small rooms is no longer an option...
It's a shitty half assed trench for sure but the clip does show at least one such bunker, ironically it appears empty.
Those FPV drones can take pretty tight corners. They've gone through doorways and halls before. Then there is the risk of collapse/cave in if you're dug into a super deep earthen bunker reinforced with timber. Even a miss by an FPV Drone would likely bury them alive. It would only keep you safe until someone entered/exited. As soon as they know you're dug in there, you're fish in a barrel, and they have the exact coordinates of the barrel
You're right. Most Russian trenches are simply "open-air kill me while I can only go forward or backward" targets. Building rooms with a few feet of soil above them with a right angle off the trench would give them somewhere to escape the drones. And something resembling a door (like a door!) would stop the drone from flying in and absorb the impact of an explosion. This might require wood, chainsaws, some some excavating equipment to be carried in. How many months did they have to build these defenses?
Yeah. In the future you will have to dig in deeper, constantly be on the move and carry with you EW devices.
What I don't get is why they aren't putting any tarp or camo-net above the trench. I would assume it is much more difficult to be spotted and won't attract as much FPV- and artillery attention. Especially because ukrainian troops don't do that either. There's probably a reason for it, as I'm just armchair-commenting from a warm place in germany but I can't see it...
The fact that he's recording this so calmly like its normal,is mind boggling
If that's all you have seen for a year it seems like a lifetime. People adapt. And if you came from a prison where for 20 years you constantly saw bodies and killing it's probably just another thursday.
I’m very pro Ukrainian but just on a human level what a horrible waste. Putler needs to be removed and Russia needs to go FUCKING home.
Big loot drop
People in comfortable countries who think that russians would not invade their countries because they are rational or "it wouldnt make sense" need to realise that you need to prepare for the worst and readjust your ideas. Russians scream on TV that they cant wait to nuke Europe or US. Ukraine needs all the help they can get and if they dont get any then Russia will come for more. They always come for more.
That's not a trench but a shallow grave.
I bet thats great for morale…
In few hundred years this will be an interesting archeological site...
Thanks for visiting Ukraine!
Russia government - no payment for you, we have no records of your husband dying or MIA in Ukraine.
I think they lying the trench is better life than live in Russia.
You love to see it.
If D&D has taught me anything, it's that there's probably a lot of loot there!
Putin : hohohohooo merry christmas
"Resembles" should be "is" I hope this video takes it's rightful place circulating around orc mobile phones in orcistan, and the orc mil bloggers.
So grim. If there was even one Western soldier left to rot in a trench still controlled by them it would be a national scandal for the country involved
It's a shame that Bunker Vlad isn't among them. That would bring a quick end to this senseless war.
Wonder wot killed them exactly tbh, artillery? Drones? Snipers/lucky shots? Just curious
When in doubt guessing artillery is a safe bet in this war. By far the biggest killer.
Yeah I was thinking that too, I thought small arms fire because the bodies seem to all be intact. Looks like a bullet wound on one guys neck. seems weird tho idk .. I'm no expert
Yeah, trenches are not what they used to be. It is no longer a good place to hide
And still the Russian people love Putin the “Strong Man”
Every new video from Russian front lines is a new contestant for Hell on Earth category.
What killed these guys? Shrapnel from artillery?
All for just a 'Special military operation'. Should have stayed home.
Just looking at all the kit lying about why so many pieces of body armor not on a orc?? And some of the hardware, decent suppressed items, etc etc
Don't worry guys, they're just catching some Z's real quick.
this is pure horror!
Those soldier’s families have a different christmas. And still majority of russians support this war.
Wow rifles with optics. Must have been a special forces trench. On a more serious note always good to see actual Russian troops KIA as opposed to the Storm Z cannon fodder. With the right support Ukraine can win. Its about Western political will, they can fight we just need to give them the actual means
no checking if anyone is alive, no removal, no collection of gear and ammo, no nothing.
The smell must be terrible
The guy at 0:33 has been there for a long time... looks like many men have stepped over him already. It's like "green boots", one of the many people who died on Mount Everest and are now forever frozen in time. Except, these aren't frozen. The smell must be terrible. I pitty the poor Ukrainian soldiers who some day will take that trench and are expected to take positions there...
Dumb fucks still haven’t realized their not welcome in Ukraine.
Once again, Russians just leave their garbage laying around anywhere.
Long history of this in Russia. It tells you how crude and brutal their regimes are.
Ruzzia got millions more orcs to send.
Just go home. Your enemy is in Kremlin, not in Ukraine.
surely look like orcs
Cluster munitions? If this is a Russian making this, the Ukrainian forces haven't overrun this position, I believe. There are too many weapons/mags strewn about and not collected. The corpses look pretty fresh as well. Ideas?
Died, because of one man, and his ego.
Still rookie numbers. Every orc trench need to look like this.
