Ukraine didn't have MANPADs in 2014 as far as I know? Unless that is Russia shooting down a Ukrainian helicopter.

There was some sort of mistranslation when it popped up yesterday that meant initially a whole lot of people flagged it as being old footage, which was then corrected after an hour or so. It happened in like 3 different threads.

e] it's more obvious when you see the original footage, it's absurdly high quality.

Are they perhaps abandoned and they're just being cautious when destroying them? Couldn't hear any engine sounds.

if the supply issues we've heard about are true, they were probably trying to conserve fuel and simply off. though also could be abandoned, but you'd think they'd want to drive them off if that's the case.

I don't think that's necessarily true, your average infantryman probably doesn't know how to start and or drive it, and you wouldn't want to pull a platoon guy to spend an hour driving it to the rear, then having to get back somehow, etc.

"Is this tank abandoned or is the crew just sitting inside while conserving gas to keep out of the -2C windy cold?" is not a question you want to answer by walking up to a coax and knocking.

Based on gear and weapons, these aren’t your regular infantrymen.

Yeah, they're using ARs instead of AKs. I think in the TFR thread it was said that they're some sort of Ukranian-built version of an AR, but the upper receiver doesn't match with that rifle.

Random lurker here and I didn't see the other thread but aren't they using L119s?

It's been reported as a Kord special paramilitary police unit, which seems to match what I can find. They wear multicam and use some sort of AR, though I can't find a pic with a roll mark or distinct feature I can ID.



They do seem to get up to some stuff.

If you write it as SoF, I'm going to read it as Soldiers of Fortune.

Like, you see that poo poo since Battlefield 2, I don't expect to ever see actual video of an LAV (or similar) rolling up on a BMP/BTR BRM and hosing down infantry.

You could see the feet of the infantry that presumably came out of the BRM underneath it when it started firing.

And the BRMs turret starts out pointing right, but ends up pointing left, so it traversed right past the BTR at some point in the smoke. :stonk:

Looked like he also shot underneath so the infantry could have taken damage too. No idea if it was intentional but the effect could have been there.

If that's dismounting infantry as it gets fired upon, what are they gonna do when they are getting pounded?

Man if you're Russia, how do you ever secure the supply lines or "policing" forces? A fire team with a drone operator relaying positions to the shooters can ambush like never before. And we're not even seeing much in the way of IEDs yet. A drone operator could be a half mile away waiting for the moment to press the button, if you're a lone truck you are hosed.

Targeting pod videos of bomb impacts with "let the bodies hit the floor" over is the same, just a different sub genre.

It's pretty standard propaganda.

We do the same thing. I can't even count how many videos of drones/jets/anything getting blown up to the soundtrack of Drowning Poll, Disturbed, Slayer, etc

Edit: Pool, not Poll, but I like it there so it stays.
