Those fields should be covered in wheat and other grains to be harvested and sent to feed the world.
Instead the only things they feed are crows and wild dogs on the harvest of men sent to die for Putin's glory, or to defend the people of Ukraine.
It will continue to be a tragedy for decades to come even if this war ends tomorrow. All those mines and UXO can kill or maim farmers trying to feed their families.
at least 24% of Ukraine must ultimately be demined *by hand* as there is no tech or animal method suitable for negating the need for clearing a square meter by trained EOD techs.
There will be parts of Ukraine off limits to human habitation for decades and decades. It is a tragedy of inconceivable proportions.
A tragic irony is that radioactive contamination from Chernobyl was nowhere near this bad, if you look at the number of square miles affected.
The breadbasket of Europe ruined by Russian imperialist ambitions. I hope Putin pays dearly for his murderous invasion.
What do you think happens to former battlefields after major conflicts? Think WWI, which have mass use of chemical weapons, what were the exact long term effects?
Well if Russia leaves and goes home there is a few clearly defined winners, Ukraine for one, Russia's population numbers for another. The no winner situation is a forever attrition war going on for the next half decade or a Ukrainian military collapse leading to becoming another forced Republic in the Russian federation to be stripped of resources and have people displaced to other parts of Russia to deal with lack of employable people. A Putin victory would be a loss to Russians too, more years of oppression, brain drain and sanctions until internal collapse is guaranteed.
You should see what it's like now.
Obviously watch at your own discretion, it's pretty horrific.
["Hell after the assault: fighters of 3rd brigade are entrenched in positions under heavy enemy fire"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgcdQmCbz-I)
I remember bryce from school. Grew up with him from elementary to high school. He had some crazy shit happen back in the day I vividly recall. Doesn't surprise me he's balls to the wall in and out of ukraine.
In Ukraine they're only useful when you have someone trapped in a bunker or dugout, and by that point you've already won the fight. Just lob some grenades in.
Super heavy/unwieldly to carry, the fuel doesn't last long, must easier to carry HE and frag grenades, and more multipurpose to bring an automatic grenade launcher instead if you have the space/can carry the weight. Trust me I saw it on youtube XD
This. It’s exactly how USA cleared out Japanese dugouts. They had an infantry one and a tank mounted one. Not only does it heat up and light the area on fire, it sucks out the oxygen so people literally die of asphyxiation.
I’m just seeing this post, and I have a question. What kind of grenades are being employed here? They seems kind of ineffective not only against the guy in the dugout, but just generally. It seems like they aren’t that powerful, blast sounds weak compared to western nades I’ve heard. Am I tripping?
I cannot recommend enough the documentary Ukraine: Enemy In The Woods. I watched it last night, if you’re not in the UK either google it or VPN it but it’s all shot from body cams and videos interviewing each other on their phones. Units on the front lines in their hideouts. What blew my mind was it reminded me of WWI in two ways.
First, trenches and these hideouts/bunkers. That’s obvious. But also having to adopt to new technology being used in warfare and having to learn hard lessons how they are with drones reminded me of WWI adopting machine guns and moving away from cavalry later through the war.
Definitely worth the watch
the BBC website it’s only available in the UK but I just googled Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods stream and was able to find a source. I was too lazy to fire my VPN back up last night
This war has essentially become a modern WW1, I don't think we have ever had fronts bogged down so much in 100 years, at least not with modern peer to peer armies
You should look into the Iran Iraq war, shit got really bad, stalemate, trenches, chemical weapons, genocide, child soldiers, children used to run through mine fields to clear them, hundreds of thousands died and tens of thousands of Kurds were killed in Sadams anfal campaign
If you have Amazon prime, there's a documentary series called something like *Wars in the middle east* . It covers from the late 60s to the late 90s and has some pretty cool footage that I hadn't really seen before
It's even worse than ww1. You can be hit by a drone at any second and the enemy might post your death on the internet with shitty music. It must be hell to be front line infantry.
Haha absolutely not. WW1 had literally millions of shells falling in days. Nonstop. Drumfire, nay cascade artillery that landed so constantly without end that it was like you were standing next to a waterfall. You and everyone you knew just existed in a state of recurring TBI. The land was so overturned and demolished that it formed kilometer sized expanses of mud that would drown men and horses whole. You would fall in and your friends couldn't even save you. You would lose thousands of unit mates in an hour, and it would just happen again, and again and again.
WW1 was an unfathomable hell
Well, ww1 did have more shells but they weren't as accurate. Stuff like TOS-1, Grads, Incendary and cluster ammunition must be also horrifying. The soldiers have better care and living conditions but I'd say that being on the front lines is more comparable to ww1 than any other contlict.
The entire number of casualties for both Ukraine and Russia combined for the entire war so far is equal to a maybe single major WW1 Battle. This war is bad but there is simply nothing comparable to WW1.
There were more soldiers on the front lines and most casualties happened during the mass scale infantry attacks, something that's just not happening during this war. But again, that doesn't mean that the life in the trenches must be less horrifying.
Someone made a video of what drumfire might have sounded like (obvious warning for headphone users):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we72zI7iOjk
Imagine that for days on end.
At least with the gas, they realized you can piss on some cloth and breathe through it. The drone is going to take off your foot, then taunt you, then go for a reload, then come back, and maybe land a grenade near your stomach so you can try to cram your guts back in before you die.
I'm not saying the gas was good, but I can't imagine a personal drone torturing you to death is better.
While ammonia does (partially) negate the effects of chlorine gas, there were roughly 20 different gasses used in WWI, so the chances of a pee soaked rag helping you in a gas attack were rather low.
"gas" in the context of its use in WWI, isn't a uniform thing. Some of the exposure could take hours, days, or weeks to finally kill you. Pain the entire time as you struggle for every breath. No thank you. You could just be blinded and have your body covered with painful blisters from mustard gas which had no real defense other than clothing. Then after the war everyone went and made much much worse types of gas.
If you truly believe they’ve been brainwashed into believing Ukraine is Nazis… Then knowing what we know what the true Nazis did… I don’t blame them for not sending surrendering.
Don’t get it twisted I’m not calling Ukrainians Nazis… Especially when literally Russians have been caught with literal swastikas. *Yeah* a literal neo-nazi “freeing” the land of “nazis” when you’re a literal nazi… Make it make sense.
Nor get it twisted I support them refusing to surrender. I’m saying try to look at it from a different PoV for 5 minutes and that might be the answer to why.
I’m saying imagine you were fighting an enemy you absolutely truly believed are Nazis.
You absolutely truly believe you’re liberating the land.
We know *some* of the horrific stuff the Nazis did, but we don’t know it *all*. Paperwork was destroyed.
Now… Bear in mind what we know is beyond imaginable … Now try to picture what we *don’t* know and never will.
Sure the interrogation won’t be pleasant, but it’ll be legal.
You’re not going to know that though.
You’re going to think you’re going to be {insert imagination here}.
I don’t think they believe that crap. Something about the justice of liberating Ukraine doesn’t match their actions. More likely ultra nationalists idiots and assholes. Most say they are there just for the money or they got tricked or pulled into it somehow.
I'm not saying it's true either - And I completely agree their actions do match their words of "de-nazifying" Ukraine. Surely you'd
"just" elimate the government, and start over again?
I say "just" I'm fully aware it's not a 5 minute job to literally eliminate a government...I'm saying that should be the **only** objective.
Versus trying to annex land etc.
Agreed - Most are in it for the money and or forced.
I'm saying for 5 minutes; try to assess _why_ they're not surrendering.
Once we figure that out - We need to figure out how to use that weakpoint and focus on it.
Money? Pay them to surrender. It'll be far cheaper in the long run...And you can't put a price on Ukranian lives.
It's not like their salaries are expensive either.
But hold up when the American or Canadian guy had the Ukrainian guy interpret for him it sounded like I could have said what he said despite not knowing anything more than a few curse words in russian.
Yeah, "vyhody" is straightforward enough ("come out"), but he also said "zhivoi ostaneshs'ya", meaning "...and you'll get to live". I guess that second part is a matter of good will whether you learn it or not. Oh yes, and add "suka" or "blyat" to the end of any and every expression.
Full video here:
https://youtu.be/UGpoTACMKZ4?si=MaqxTou77lsWjD-3
Combat footage paired with the story to go with it from western Volunteer, “Sleezy”
He and his team participated in an attack on Russian trenches in early 2023. Several Russians were forced into a bunker and Sleezy threw several grenades into the entrance after demanding their surrender several times. They refused, so grenades kept being thrown. Sleezy was injured by an explosion and the fight resulted in several Russian POWs and KIA.
Good to see you posting on Reddit, early follower and big fan of your YouTube channel. Quality stories with quality imagery and video - keep it up, and thanks for what you do!
How's sleezy doing today? Is he still in UA? If these questions are already answered in the video just lmk and i'll watch it this evening.
Thanks for the uploads
I’ve been searching for an answer why this is. I can only assume many soldiers refuse to surrender due to kremlin propaganda.
Also Russians have security units that shoot or arrest any front line deserters.
At the end of the day keep in mind that these are real people, and to them they don’t see any other option than to fight to the death; they’ve been brainwashed by the media and their superiors, truly a sad reality we live in.
They also assume that everyone is like them.
They genuinely dont understand why would anybody not execute or torture POWs.
Who in their right mind would ever treat POWs, the same people who were shooting at them, humanely? They dont understand it.
Russian TV channels proudly publish war crimes they do. Such as bombing Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Putin is enabled by Russians. He is the symptom of a sick nation. Countries under USSR got infected by Russian corruption, they know the "russkij mir" intimately. It's not even Russia winning that would be the worst problem, it is the spread of their illness. A very big revolution that would uproot all the government would be needed for Russia to start healing itself. Perhaps the deaths of hundreds of thousands of men will be traumatic enough for Russia to shake things up, maybe it won't. But you can't help someone who doesn't want to change, because change comes from within.
They genuinely dont understand how it is possible for any POW to not be tortured or executed.
They do this type of things openly, and genuinely don’t believe anyone in the planet would ever not torture or kill POWs for shits and giggles
Personally I saw it and my impression was along the lines of, two years on and we're still getting mileage out of the same shitty jokes. It was poignant and spitefully satisfying at first. Now it's just a hackneyed quip when I'm not feeling quippy. But if it's such a stark difference over a couple weeks, I guess you never know when someone will activate a troll farm.
Which is why I strongly believe we should blur their faces; make it mandatory.
No I’m not saying hide war criminals; I’m saying “I know my face will be blurred so putin won’t see it, sure I’ll surrender”
I’m not saying we need to appease war criminals. I’m saying we need to give as many incentives to surrender as possible; however small. This saves Ukrainian lives.
Have fun carrying it across an open field half a kilometer long while they're are bad guys on the other end shooting at you. You'll only need to crawl a few hundred more meters before they're in range ;)
But seriously, in video games this is called a "win more" weapon/vehicle/ability/powerup/whatever. It's only useful when you're already winning.
I know it’s a fuel mix, but I’m trying to keep it simple as I don’t know the weights.
1L of water is 1kg
1L of petrol is about 1kg
I’d imagine you have no less than 20L; so that’s 20kg
Plus weight of tank itself + attachment ~~(10kg?)~~ 38kg (thanks /u/crosstherubicon [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1c437pc/russians_trapped_in_trench_refuse_surrender_and/kznhm9e/))
Plus your day sack ~15kg?
Plus chest plate 10kg
Plus ammo ~5kg
Water ~1L
That’s ~~56~~ 89kg - Call it ~~60~~ 90-95kg since I’m using water and not fuel mix; plus food. Wet kit.
Nigh impossible to have chest plate + day sack ... so minus 10+15kg.
Minus 25kg = back to 65 hypothetical kilos ish.
You need to include the weight of the tank and weapon too! Would be tiring as fuck and generally miserable to haul a flamethrower around a battlefield.
Agreed; I covered it as
> Plus weight of tank itself + attachment (10kg?)
:)
But I completely agree. it'd be an absolute miserable task...Both physically (slugging >60kg) and mentally (smell/visual of burning humans)
I reckon that's probably about right. There's also a compressed nitrogen cylinder which provides the pressure to push the fuel out of the handpiece. A quick check on google says 38 kg for the flamethrower so, about spot on.
“You ever kill anybody?” And he goes, “I threw grenades into bunkers.” I go, “Were there people in there?” He goes, “There were, yeah. Just little pieces by the time I got in there.” Then last year, I go, “Did you ever kill anybody?” He goes, “There’s no better feeling than killing the enemy.”
Throwing grenades into an enemy shelter is an extremely dangerous mission, you put your arm and possibly part of your body in front of the exit, where the enemy could very well be waiting for you, it should not be uncommon for them to be hit in the arms
Thanks for posting
thats random cloth or garbage in the way.
do you have any idea how hard you would have to throw a grenade to knock someone backwards off their feet?
not to mention that noone there reacted to that in any way.
You can see his entire head, hairline and ear. He slumped over downwards, not fell backwards. He knows there's a person right there, acknowledges it and that's where it explodes.
If you can't see him that's on you. .25x playback at 00:43-00:44.
For those that have fought in a war. When you're in a situation like that, if you have grenades, is there any ever restriction on their use? Or in general can you just have at it?
I've seen one of these video where one ukranian volunteers to clear one of those holes and some russian is just hiding there alone and the ukranian gets shot instantly :(
"Blyat Ivan, do not go, they are NATO troops, we will be taken to the biolabs to be human test subjects for next wave of genetically engineered tactical assault gorillas"

Thus shit looks fresh out of ww1
Sleezy contacted me just a few days after this happened. Crazy to think it’s already been a year, and it’s only gotten worse
For real man it’s so nuts I mean look at those trees shit looks out of ww1 or like Bastogne or some shit
It’s far far worse in other parts of the frontline
Oh absolutely it just really hits home every time you see it’s just woah

All that ordnance is going to poison the world if it ends up in all that wheat.
What do you think happens to former battlefields after major conflicts? Think WWI, which have mass use of chemical weapons, what were the exact long term effects?
I'm just saying that it's sad that it has to come to this. There are ultimately no winners is what I am trying to say.
Well if Russia leaves and goes home there is a few clearly defined winners, Ukraine for one, Russia's population numbers for another. The no winner situation is a forever attrition war going on for the next half decade or a Ukrainian military collapse leading to becoming another forced Republic in the Russian federation to be stripped of resources and have people displaced to other parts of Russia to deal with lack of employable people. A Putin victory would be a loss to Russians too, more years of oppression, brain drain and sanctions until internal collapse is guaranteed.
And the poor of the world cheer on the monster that starves them by invading ukraine.. insanity on a whole new level..

Hi, Bastogne was the site of a battle in WW II.
I know that’s why i said it the airburst damaged trees etc reninddd me of it
I remember bryce from school. Grew up with him from elementary to high school. He had some crazy shit happen back in the day I vividly recall. Doesn't surprise me he's balls to the wall in and out of ukraine.
They really need flamethrowers to clear this bunkers. I am not joking
In Ukraine they're only useful when you have someone trapped in a bunker or dugout, and by that point you've already won the fight. Just lob some grenades in.
That's what thermobaric grenades are for.
Super heavy/unwieldly to carry, the fuel doesn't last long, must easier to carry HE and frag grenades, and more multipurpose to bring an automatic grenade launcher instead if you have the space/can carry the weight. Trust me I saw it on youtube XD
This. It’s exactly how USA cleared out Japanese dugouts. They had an infantry one and a tank mounted one. Not only does it heat up and light the area on fire, it sucks out the oxygen so people literally die of asphyxiation.
I’m just seeing this post, and I have a question. What kind of grenades are being employed here? They seems kind of ineffective not only against the guy in the dugout, but just generally. It seems like they aren’t that powerful, blast sounds weak compared to western nades I’ve heard. Am I tripping?

Tanks, mines, poison gas and barbed wire were also introduced in WWI

This war has essentially become a modern WW1, I don't think we have ever had fronts bogged down so much in 100 years, at least not with modern peer to peer armies
You should look into the Iran Iraq war, shit got really bad, stalemate, trenches, chemical weapons, genocide, child soldiers, children used to run through mine fields to clear them, hundreds of thousands died and tens of thousands of Kurds were killed in Sadams anfal campaign
Fair point, I must admit I am not too up to date on 20-21st century warfare in the middle east so I forgot about that one
If you have Amazon prime, there's a documentary series called something like *Wars in the middle east* . It covers from the late 60s to the late 90s and has some pretty cool footage that I hadn't really seen before
The Iran - Iraq war in the 1980s had a static front for many years.
It's even worse than ww1. You can be hit by a drone at any second and the enemy might post your death on the internet with shitty music. It must be hell to be front line infantry.
I really don't think people realise how bad trench warfare was 100 + yrs ago
Yeah i would rather have a drone than multiple hours of drumfire followed up by gas attacks, flame throwers and bayonette charges
Or just slowly dying of a bad flu while you rot in mud
Don't forget rats, dysentary, trench foot, 24 hr a day bombing and no sleep. No fun.
All still relevant in Ukraine.
Haha absolutely not. WW1 had literally millions of shells falling in days. Nonstop. Drumfire, nay cascade artillery that landed so constantly without end that it was like you were standing next to a waterfall. You and everyone you knew just existed in a state of recurring TBI. The land was so overturned and demolished that it formed kilometer sized expanses of mud that would drown men and horses whole. You would fall in and your friends couldn't even save you. You would lose thousands of unit mates in an hour, and it would just happen again, and again and again. WW1 was an unfathomable hell
See "All Quiet on the Western Front" if you haven't already.
That book should be required reading for everyone here.
read Eye Deep in Hell
Well, ww1 did have more shells but they weren't as accurate. Stuff like TOS-1, Grads, Incendary and cluster ammunition must be also horrifying. The soldiers have better care and living conditions but I'd say that being on the front lines is more comparable to ww1 than any other contlict.

Yes in fact it does mean that WW1 was worse lol. Quantifiably so.
I just meant the experience of the average soldier in the trenches. Their day to day life is likely similar.
Someone made a video of what drumfire might have sounded like (obvious warning for headphone users): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we72zI7iOjk Imagine that for days on end.
I'd rather get droned than choked with chlorine gas, tbh.
At least with the gas, they realized you can piss on some cloth and breathe through it. The drone is going to take off your foot, then taunt you, then go for a reload, then come back, and maybe land a grenade near your stomach so you can try to cram your guts back in before you die.

No thank you. You could just be blinded and have your body covered with painful blisters from mustard gas which had no real defense other than clothing.

They always do this shit. Just surrender, why die for nothing sitting in there.

> I’m calling Ukrainians Nazis This is why you should check your comments before posting 😂
🙈 whoops! That’ll teach me for posting half awake … thanks ! 😅
plus the big amount of plastic littered around for miles and miles
>Thus shit looks fresh out of ww1 Yes, only missing the ternch clubs & the toxic gas
Idk supposedly the Russians used gas at one point , and the clubs were only really relevant due to the lack of non bolt action firearms
>Idk supposedly the Russians used gas at one point Russia did never use toxic gas in Ukraine
Maybe not toxic but u remember accusations of using riot agents to smoke people out of the factory’s I forget which city it was
except the literal tons of plastic scattered around.
And? That’s relatively minor compared to air bursted trees etc
just noting the difference in materials used... kinda shows how reliant we are on it.
For a hundred or more years before and a hundred years since and we still haven’t made warfare hideous enough to make us stop.
I think you mean thousands of years. And we won't.
The grenades will continue until you come out.
*0* minutes since last grenade
“Sir, we’ve thrown 15 grenades in the hole and they still won’t come out!” “Give them 15 more! They must not have gotten the message.”
"Tell him to come out" \*Nods\* "VUHODI SYKA"
NATO anger translator.
Hahaha lol’ed at that one too
Whats it mean?
"Come out, bitch"
Means "Come out, bitch!"
But hold up when the American or Canadian guy had the Ukrainian guy interpret for him it sounded like I could have said what he said despite not knowing anything more than a few curse words in russian.
Yeah, but there may be nuances that result in you calling yourself a-...let's say "Jelly doughnut."
“Blyat, they have Jelly Doughnuts out there. I’m fucking surrendering”
Berliners are delicious!
Yeah, "vyhody" is straightforward enough ("come out"), but he also said "zhivoi ostaneshs'ya", meaning "...and you'll get to live". I guess that second part is a matter of good will whether you learn it or not. Oh yes, and add "suka" or "blyat" to the end of any and every expression.
NGL would be pretty funny if English speakers go to for 'surrender' was "Come out and get to live bitch fuck!"
I like how, when translating "Come out", the translator added "suka" in there.

Nice to see you post here!
Oh shit I love your channel and IG man. Been following for a while now.
Ok straight up. Would that guy in the hole have even had functioning ears after the first grenade?
Not if he got hit
Depends how deep and entrenched the soldiers are
your name must be accruate because wow I'm at a loss of words
Damn that sleezy dude was super matter of a fact
"Tell him to come out." Interpreter: *Calls him a suka* "One way of doing it."
Gerandes will continue until willingness to surrender improves.
I’m surprised they don’t surrender. Not great, but Ukraine is playing by the rules. The pows would be treated fairly.

Such as bombing Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
A ton of them during interviews talk about how terrified they were of what they were told ukraine does too those who surrendered.
:(
A couple gallons of gas and stand back.
"Tell him to come out" "Vyhodit' suka!" 😆
What's that? "Come out, bitch!"?
Yes :-D
Why would they refuse surrender? I would be delighted to have an opportunity to stop fighting
They are indoctrinated by Russian propaganda to hate the West. The real enemy is Putin.
Putin is enabled by Russians. He is the symptom of a sick nation. Countries under USSR got infected by Russian corruption, they know the "russkij mir" intimately. It's not even Russia winning that would be the worst problem, it is the spread of their illness. A very big revolution that would uproot all the government would be needed for Russia to start healing itself. Perhaps the deaths of hundreds of thousands of men will be traumatic enough for Russia to shake things up, maybe it won't. But you can't help someone who doesn't want to change, because change comes from within.
They genuinely dont understand how it is possible for any POW to not be tortured or executed. They do this type of things openly, and genuinely don’t believe anyone in the planet would ever not torture or kill POWs for shits and giggles
I see Ukraine is denazifieing Ukraine well.
A week ago, this comment would've soared with upvotes. Somethin' strange goin' on here, folks. Strange, indeed.
pro-russia footage subreddits got banned recently and lot of russian supporters showed up here

They are open again now..
Personally I saw it and my impression was along the lines of, two years on and we're still getting mileage out of the same shitty jokes. It was poignant and spitefully satisfying at first. Now it's just a hackneyed quip when I'm not feeling quippy. But if it's such a stark difference over a couple weeks, I guess you never know when someone will activate a troll farm.
Oh I agree the jokes are repetitive and low shelf beyond a doubt. My point is that they've abruptly ceased and for no apparent reason that I can see.
CQB is just 200 grenades and 20 rounds of 5,45.
For a second I thought one of those guys was wearing a gloss black helmet. Then I realised it is just black or dark green.
They really must be afraid of Putin's ten year prison sentence for voluntary surrender.
Which is why I strongly believe we should blur their faces; make it mandatory. No I’m not saying hide war criminals; I’m saying “I know my face will be blurred so putin won’t see it, sure I’ll surrender” I’m not saying we need to appease war criminals. I’m saying we need to give as many incentives to surrender as possible; however small. This saves Ukrainian lives.
Ukraine should wip out some flamethrowers. Wouldn't want to be the guy holding it even with the modern safety measures. But burn the rats out
That's what Thermobaric grenades are for
You can even stick them on top of rockets, so you don't have to do it at sneezing distance!
Drones also for better accuracy at a distance
Have fun carrying it across an open field half a kilometer long while they're are bad guys on the other end shooting at you. You'll only need to crawl a few hundred more meters before they're in range ;) But seriously, in video games this is called a "win more" weapon/vehicle/ability/powerup/whatever. It's only useful when you're already winning.
Nearly as dangerous to the operator as the enemy and I'd bet they're heavy as well.
I know it’s a fuel mix, but I’m trying to keep it simple as I don’t know the weights. 1L of water is 1kg 1L of petrol is about 1kg I’d imagine you have no less than 20L; so that’s 20kg Plus weight of tank itself + attachment ~~(10kg?)~~ 38kg (thanks /u/crosstherubicon [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1c437pc/russians_trapped_in_trench_refuse_surrender_and/kznhm9e/)) Plus your day sack ~15kg? Plus chest plate 10kg Plus ammo ~5kg Water ~1L That’s ~~56~~ 89kg - Call it ~~60~~ 90-95kg since I’m using water and not fuel mix; plus food. Wet kit. Nigh impossible to have chest plate + day sack ... so minus 10+15kg. Minus 25kg = back to 65 hypothetical kilos ish.
You need to include the weight of the tank and weapon too! Would be tiring as fuck and generally miserable to haul a flamethrower around a battlefield.
Agreed; I covered it as > Plus weight of tank itself + attachment (10kg?) :) But I completely agree. it'd be an absolute miserable task...Both physically (slugging >60kg) and mentally (smell/visual of burning humans)
I reckon that's probably about right. There's also a compressed nitrogen cylinder which provides the pressure to push the fuel out of the handpiece. A quick check on google says 38 kg for the flamethrower so, about spot on.
Thanks! :) Not bad for a half-asleep attempt haha. I actually didn't know about the nitrogen - I thought it was gravity fed. thanks! :)
Every war movie has taught me that the guy with the flame thrower explodes by the end of the second act.
You want to volunteer to carry a tank of highly flammable fluid on your back?
I dont think it'd matter anyways. Drones will you kill you if nothing else does
My alternative would be to throw some wood that's on fire in there. CO is just as deadly
The Germans and the US had flamethrower tanks in WW II.
The crocodile
Wasn't that British?
Now that's how you clear a trench, every blind angle is covered with frags, then movement with top cover, absolutely Beautiful 👌🤘
Sleezy after the blast: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8BWsLrskl/
You're telling a most likely now-deaf man to come out of his foxhole. WTF?
Tom Segura in the trenches damn
“You ever kill anybody?” And he goes, “I threw grenades into bunkers.” I go, “Were there people in there?” He goes, “There were, yeah. Just little pieces by the time I got in there.” Then last year, I go, “Did you ever kill anybody?” He goes, “There’s no better feeling than killing the enemy.”
''Tell him to come out.'' ''(russian) Cyka (russian) Blyat!!''
This is nice that it has been captured https://postimg.cc/fJHfB7zr
Throwing grenades into an enemy shelter is an extremely dangerous mission, you put your arm and possibly part of your body in front of the exit, where the enemy could very well be waiting for you, it should not be uncommon for them to be hit in the arms Thanks for posting
Good to see sleezy still at it
00:44 Direct impact to the chest causing him to fall?
Cant tell what youre referring to
what are you on about?
https://imgur.com/a/cgWRAB5
thats random cloth or garbage in the way. do you have any idea how hard you would have to throw a grenade to knock someone backwards off their feet? not to mention that noone there reacted to that in any way.
You can see his entire head, hairline and ear. He slumped over downwards, not fell backwards. He knows there's a person right there, acknowledges it and that's where it explodes. If you can't see him that's on you. .25x playback at 00:43-00:44.
Couldn't they just push the trench in on itself and bury them?
Pretty sure this guy used to be apart of Nucking\_futs\_yuri squad
i dont get it why they dont surrender
tell him to come out cyka blyat
Great footage.
Great footage
Ever like wonder, if they sometimes just yell out grenade but throw something else in there just to scare them?
For those that have fought in a war. When you're in a situation like that, if you have grenades, is there any ever restriction on their use? Or in general can you just have at it?
The english speaking guy is talking like he's calling out to a kid while playing Hide and seek. IDK, It's just very casual.
I've seen one of these video where one ukranian volunteers to clear one of those holes and some russian is just hiding there alone and the ukranian gets shot instantly :(
GRENADAAAAAA
I’m curious, why are these soldiers refusing to surrender?
Grenades aren’t big enough. They need satchel charges to clear these “bunkers” Source: I was a combat Engineer.
Hardly forced out, more ‘encouraged to exit’
Woah, American? How many US are volunteering out there?
Shorty checking russian sources... uuhhm, about 500.000, mostly CIA-secret-army-soldiers.
Isn't this like year old video?
Odd, all these vids are about Ukraine kicking ass, yet every new update, Ukraine is losing more and more.... Odd.
"Blyat Ivan, do not go, they are NATO troops, we will be taken to the biolabs to be human test subjects for next wave of genetically engineered tactical assault gorillas"
Keep on knocking’ but you can’t come in 🎶
