The Korean Axe Murder Incident:

wikipedia posted:

In addition, a 64-man task force of the South Korean 1st Special Forces Brigade accompanied them, armed with clubs and trained in taekwondo, supposedly without firearms. However, once they parked their trucks near the Bridge of No Return, they started throwing out the sandbags that lined the truck bottoms and handing out M16 rifles and M79 grenade launchers that had been concealed below them.[4] Several of the commandos also had M18 Claymore mines strapped to their chests with the firing mechanism in their hands, and were shouting at the North Koreans to cross the bridge.[13][14]

The primary source has an extra bit of flavor:

A few of the ROK marines with us unbutton their shirts, showing that they have claymore mines strapped to their chests and they have the clacker (firing mechanism) in their hands. They start yelling and waving at the KPA to come on over. One of the ROK’s is laying on his side, on the ground, supporting his head his his hand, looking all casual and care free. Once in a while he lifts his head a bit and hits the rear tire of Exum’s deuce with the back of his fist, shaking the entire truck bed. Anybody who’s ever been on a deuce knows that’s not easy.

There's a just released interview with trench guy that goes over what happened, and it has really good english subtitles. It's much clearer what's going on.

Of note:
* The russian bmp apparently stops around 5m from the trench. Trench guy thinks he hit it at least twice, and it's possible that some of the RPG rounds didn't arm (or didn't hit in the right way) because it's so close
* It's the first time for the trench for ammo guy, and apparently he had a concussion on top of everything else
* The rifles seem to jam a bit
* Trench guy fires a round into the trench wall when reloading
* There's alot of grenades being thrown by both sides

Agree.

I also like that they took the time to talk about his battle buddy - that would have been me, but worse. Glad that guy got some props.

I wonder if they are going to pull him off the line to do a PR tour, Basilone-style. It would surprise me, but he must have a sizeable Russian bounty* on his head now.

Nice bit of context that video provides: What I initially though was a cry of terror was actually a whoop of joy because permission had just been given to use all of the toys he'd been provided with.

Yeah, and making it so quickly, and ending up with something that wasn't completely useless, was one of the very very few things Russia has done during the last decade that was seriously impressive.

Seeing it again with the commentary feels even more terrifying. The PKM accidentally discharging when he reloads it leaves a clean visible hole in the original video. Fumbling around with the ammo in the dugout was nauseating

YT seems a bit weird about when it just lets you click through the warnings and when it demands that you register your credit card with them in order to verify your age.

Managed to skim through the video a bit at work. It's kind of wild that the stuff you used to only read about in Medal of Honor citations is now available on HD PoV video.

Apparently the Ukrainians have been busy decking out newly arrived Leopard 2A4's in ERA bricks. Looks like there's scaffolding on the turret for more to go on? It's going to look like some bizarre amalgamation of a Leo2 and a T-72 when they're done.
