So the message of this video is don't be scared, go fight against weak russian army in UA , its will be easy walking. So bad you will understand its lie too late))
It's not an *Aircraft Carrier* it's a *Tugboat Escorter* (Tugboats are the most precious ships in the Russian fleet and must be protected at all costs)
A Ukrainian soldier ran up to a nun, out of breath, he asked, Please may I hide under your skirt, I’ll explain later he said. The nun agreed. A moment later two military police ran up and asked. “Sister have you seen a soldier” The nun replied, he went that way. After the military police ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, “I can’t thank you enough, Sister, you see I don’t want to get mobilized, they've already forced us to stay in the country despite being bombed daily!. The nun said “I understand completely” The soldier added, “I hope I’m not rude but you have a great pair of legs! The nun replied, “if you looked a little higher, you would’ve seen a great pair of balls too. I don’t want to be forced to fight either. SLAVA UKRAINA
russian troops themselves have known for years that their equipment and vehicles sucked. one soldier famously said about the BTR, which is supposed to be an amphibious vehicle "we dont bother driving it into water, we know it will sink like a rock"
It's still a good rifle especially with a good scope on it . I have a .243 varmint gun based on a Mauser 98 action that was designed in 1898 and my one was manufactured in 1902 . With some modification and a heavy alloy rail stock plus good handloads it shoots very accurately .
Barrett weight 14kg, Mosin Nagant weight 4kg... Mosin Nagant is a very good sniper riffle like every other serious military riffle. Old riffle doesn't mean bad riffle. They are intended to kill. Old riffle like Mosin Nagant are overpowered, they frequently overpower modern riffle...
Mosin-Nagants are fine for certain things if they are accurized, QC was garbage during manufacture, but they are still not up to modern combat. They are suitable for sporterization as civilian hunting rifles and as collector wall-hanger surplus rifles. Militarily all they are good for is ceremonial, training, and far-in-the-rear security duties for troops that should never have to use them in anger. That they are being issued out of Soviet stockpile to frontline combat troops today is frightening. It was replaced in the DMR role by the SVD in the 1960's. Insanity.
I know a girl whos dad is a logistics general ( very high up in supply chain of russian army ). Now , she and her brother have lived in Bulgaria for 12 years or so. Never worked , have kids , no working spouse. They travel world wide . Have all the toys. I know her and her brother and the corruption is from a lowest rank for $5 USD to billions at level of billionares that keep $$ OUTSIDE of Russia
Some Ukrainian high rank officers are thankful to russian oligarchs for stealing money from army, the war would be much more difficult if russians were fully investing into army and have legit threat. All they have right now is mercenaries with rusty AK47's and childish tantrum nuclear threats.
@anonymous i have actually... reluance in established war chest almost exhausted (coincidentally demonstrating Russia was planning a war for years in advance). Oil at inflated prices being capped... Brain drain of professionals from Russia fleeing... Population growth in the negatives... Loss of life and no ability to replace exhausted technology... Russia has destroyed itself... Makes me wonder whether you have any care for the average citizen... clearly not.
When I did my compulsory military service in the Russian Army, I was assigned to a new unit that had been established less than a year earlier, and we were already short of uniforms. By the end of my service, the situation had only gotten worse.
Uh, mix Mazut/Bunker fuel with used motor oil, heat till the mix is good and runny, then immerse stuff you want to not rust in it and then drag it out to cool? Note: the above “waste” materials give a “crude and nasty” species of “Cosmoline.” Adding some paraffin or other petroleum waxes would result in a (much?) closer approximation to the real thing.
It's easier then you think. Sell materials and pocket money what was given to repair warehouse roof. Inspectors never will come when it's rainy weather. They will never open crate to check firearm condition.
@SamboBambo It was revealed only a couple of weeks ago that it is estimated that 100,000 Ukrainians have been killed. Presumably, this includes combatants.
@Leo kind of sus you went from special forces to special operation forces. Also strange to see a colonel from the special forces community commenting on Clip-Share shorts or even an account with a bio like yours. With 9 combat tours you must have a stack like Sam Trautman colonel. I'd ask where but from 1977-1994 we aren't really at war with anyone so it must have been mostly with SOAR right?
Do you really believe Russia can not give it's 200k soliders modern weapons? That is apsurd if you really think so my friendly advice is stop watching all media. Russia does 20% of world's arms trade and I think that should enable them to afford guns...
Russians do in fact use air guns, Spetsnaz primarily. Don’t knock an air rifle. In my 12 years with the 5th special forces, my mos was weapon Sargent , we tested and adopted several air rifles from .17 to .22 cal. Deadly as hell at 50 yards. Steel pellets, sub sonic. Head shot, you’re down for the count. Zero flash, low noise and silenced to a whisper.
@Tax Evader 76 my comment got deleted probably because it had a link, you can find them for sale it’s called “sniper tactical QB57” it’s a cheap Chinese pellet gun. they’re actually becoming a bit of a collectors item now too bc of this footage lol that’s why you’ll see some of them are actually selling for a decent amount
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” This alone is enough to proof Putin is not a smart man.
Which is why i dont believe anything i hear on the news. The only part i believe is that there is conflict in ukraine. Anything further is a question mark
It was Putin who chose to go to war. The problem was that he'd been told his armed forces were way way better than they actually are. But he knows that now...... Putin was *so* confident in his army, he claimed they could have boots on the ground in 6 European Capital cities within 48 hours.....
4:42 That helmet is an STSh-81 "Sfera" helmet and it is a real design from all the way back in the Soviet Union times. Issued mostly to interior police and special purpose troops for anti-terrorism and urban combat, it consists of three separate titanium or steel plates. It's an older design, and looks odd because of its unorthodox construction, but it isn't necessarily a fake. (although commercial reproductions are made for airsoft or cosplay that offer zero protective capabilities and this could be one such example)
@phill davies I love these clueless misinformed people that always trying to be cocky but end up saying nonsense, you realise the purpose of a ballistic helmet is not to stop bullets right?
@phill davies you don't buy helmets to protect from high velocity rounds wtf are you talking about. it's there for small fragmentation debris and falling objects like rocks, sticks, and other things that get displaced in combat. Even a plastic helmet is better than nothing in that sense.
If what this video say is true, Ukraine will be winning already. Corruption is every where, USA is highly corrupted or where you think all the billions they sent to Ukraine are going. I think even thing USA and Russia are partnering under the table to Use this war so each other can scam their own pople an Europe.
It is a cultural problem. From my limited experience of spending 22 hours in Sheremeteyevo airport in Moscow and talking to everyone including the airport director, everything in Russia works with bribes and stealing government money. Everyone said corruption is worse now than Soviet times. The airport police would all gather under a giant no smoking sign to smoke cigarettes. The x-ray machines are permanently kept turned off to "save electricity", but I bet they were fake. Any cash or alcohol I had in my luggage was stolen by customs. The Russian airline provided a 3 meal credit because our connecting plane broke and had a 22 hour layover, but the airport managers took a cut of the money, so for 3 meals they gave me enough money for a bag of chips and a bottle of water. There were only a couple of benches and chairs in the whole airport, because someone stole the money for benches. From what I saw, bribery and corruption is as much part of the culture as not smiling for photos or drinking vodka.
It sounds as though the west would do better than supply Ukraine if they just offered to buy any Russian kit that happened to drive out of Russia control. Nothing would reach the front
I mean, the basic idea of avoiding war by making your enemy think you cant be beat isnt very stupid. What IS stupid is starting a war you cant win because you forgot your own military doctrine. Thats not just stupid, thats absolutely insane.
Russia attacked with a contingent of 120,000-180,000 soldiers plus a Seraratist force from eastern Ukraine, the 250,000-300,000 army of Ukraine. Moreover, they stretched these 120000 both along a huge front and in time, they were gradually withdrawn from the reserve for 2 weeks when they saw the failures of the forward detachments. Of these 120,000, not all of them were full-fledged army, many of them were more of a police force and were armed with parade uniforms, rubber batons, tear gas and plasma shields to disperse demonstrators. Putin did not plan a war, he planned a special operation where the Russian army intimidates everyone and changes the regime in Ukraine. How did the Taliban in Afghanistan when 70,000 Taliban dispersed the 300,000 Afghan army armed with American weapons. And the Russian Army, despite all its problems, has more modern weapons than the Taliban! In 2014, Kharkov, captured several hundred rebels and held it for several days, in 2014 the entire Odessa fleet temporarily went over to the side of the Russian Federation until the commander of the fleet was arrested by the Ukrainian authorities for treason. The Russian Federation has no reason to believe that 120,000 soldiers and modernized tanks will not be enough to capture Ukraine.
@Ketoku Yeah and they hardly have any means to drop one. The US has let china and Russia think for years they are strong. But the US is far superior. North Korea would be a better fight than china
Let's Game It Out, playing russian nation: "I tricked everyone into thinking I am the 2nd strongest military power on earth by building fake tanks, planes, nuklear missles, armor und guns. exploided my own military, by letting my soldiers buy their own equipment."
It is still hard to believe, that what's going on is already a history. Glad that estimations, about the time given to Ukraine, were wrong. Even for myself it was a surprise, that our army endured under such pressure. I'll never forget the morning wake up from my mother with: "Wake up, the war has begun". The dread that rushed into my blood stream, when I looked for the news in my phone and TV. When the city became "dead" at the rush hour and you can feel with your skin how everyone is scared and rush to ATMs. Hours were so stretched, that it felt years to finally reach the evening, where you finally get a mental breakdown from all those news, that you consumed through the daylight, and the fear of unknown. The first night, when you sleep fully clothed and wake every hour to check the news, to see what's going on and how close the enemies to your city. The second day you pack all you can and just sit in front of TV, donate all money from your bank account to the army and scroll news on a phone, all day till midnight. The only thing that helped to disctract from this, for a short time, was a hot shower. Recall, that on the fourth day, one channel on TV suddenly switched from 24/7 news to a Harry Potter and The Gobllet of Fire at midnight time. That was the only time you would fall asleep and wake up next morning to a Harry Potter still being aired. For 2 weeks.)
Know that a lot of people all over the world are hoping for you and your people to come through it and remain free. It shook my world too and I too feared it might end bad, especially in the beginning and it never really goes away.
If you mean incredible as in not credible, I agree. Do not believe any side's propaganda. Russia is corrupt as is Ukraine. Look at all the family members of politicians that had business in Ukraine.
"The" mosin was developed way further and became a very decent weapon family. But ofc it is a bolt action and is in no way or form even comparable to modern weapons. There was a reason why the soviets pushed for the SVT-38 and other semi-automatic weapons at the beginning of WW2. These types of weapons are "partisan" weapons. They should not be used by a professional army. Imagine you are a trooper getting issued one of those and the enemy side uses modern small arms. A trooper with almost no basic training non the less. While you fumble your 5- round stripper clip into your guns chamber the enemy almost instantly swaps out their 30 or 60 round magazines and bullets fly above you. There is no way a russian push can even slightly penetrate a fortified ukrainian position with theses types of guns. There is zero suppression from a couple of bullets fired every couple of seconds. A single AR has more pushing power. You can't breakthrough with artillery fire, airstrikes or rocketstrikes. Those tactics open gaps, sure but it is for infantry and tanks to exploit those. With the degrading russian tank stockpile and the sorry state of its infantry equipment it makes sense why the russian general stuff resorted to terror striking ukrainian cities.
A quite accurately produced news compilation! I'm a ukrainian, and I can vouch for the facts in it. Thank you for spreading the word about these lunatics and their empire.
It blows my mind that Russia didn't take inventory of their invasion force beforehand. Like how do you not have equipment and arms when you are the country invading? They had all the time to prepare for this and no one thought about getting the equipment in fighting shape beforehand? I am no general or military man but if I was in charge of an invasion my first step would be to check how much equipment we have, how well it's operating and what is actually useful. Logistics and preparation go such a long way. Imagine expecting someone to fight for you when you give them cardboard body armor.

What's the point of doing an inventory before an invasion? Are you out of your mind? What do you want every Russian general to voluntarily deliver a detailed report on how much he stole? 😆
do you want to tell putin that 1/3 of the 10,000 tanks aren't operational when he's been giving you billions a years for the military and you've been buying boats and hoes
@Ray Ilmast Seriously? Because they simply do not want to, they would rather deter this Putin disaster. That is why the West is supplying in small increments, to try and discourage Russia/Putin. If they went all out, then what? Not good for the East or West. Not good globally. Putin is trying to hide his sins of embezzling rubles.
Maybe you should ask a different question, like for example, if things for Russians so bad, then why collective west still not managed to do much to defeat Russia?! More than forty countries giving support to Ukraine, $140 billion already spend in arms shipping and all for nothing.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like a severe misallocation of resources to even make an attempt at bolstering your navy if the resources you have available cant upgrade said navy to even half that of your opposition. Would you not be better off prioritizing what would be fronting the majority of your military operations, which for Russia, has been, and still is their meatshield infantry?
As a US soldier looking at what they are dealing with, I sleep a little more sound at night knowing that although our equipment could be better, it work and gets the job done. Training is actually given thought, and we go through many theoretical scenarios. Not to mention, our support is top-notch. Just so those of you wondering know. Yes, the US army spends its money on things that matter and keeps a competent force of soldiers. Thank god I didn't grow up in russia.
US army have amazing equipment, my uncle been in military for many years now and went to many hot points, like Afghanistan and said American bases are like shopping malls, u can find everything, he bought an ipad there cuz it was cheaper lul. Soldier equipment is also top notch wich is no surprise bcs highest military funding in the world. Literally no other country compares. So yeah u should actually be very happy about ur equipment.
US military goofs up with some of its over-budget tech projects, but at its core has some amazing equipment and vehicles while prioritizing the safety of soldiers over everything else.
Never laughed so much in all my life. Putin found out his Army is just as criminally corrupt as him 🤣🤣🤣 Paper 🐻 LMFAO !!! Western Military's are in a different league all together than Russia. This ain't 1941 when the U.K and U.S supplied the Soviet Union with everything just to keep them in the fight 😂 SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦
Reminds me of when Trunks tried to kill the Androids when they were reviving 16 and did no damage. Then Vegeta says something along the lines of, "All you've managed to do is let them know how weak you are."
Igor Strelkov, who appears in this video, is also known as Igor Girkin. He was recently convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, along with two others, for the missile strike which brought down flight MH17 in 2014. I understand there is a reward of $150,000 for finding him and handing him in (to the Dutch court which convicted him or the Ukrainian government, who would pass him to them). So if you are short of cash, and have some spare time, give it a go. I last heard of Igor fighting in Ukraine as a volunteer in the Russian army.
@pineapplepizza aka germaneistee Its not "some random Dutch courts". They've been sentenced in the International Court of Justice which is located in The Hague, Netherlands.
@pineapplepizza aka germaneistee It's unbelievable how delusional these people are, they expect Russia to care even in the slightest about this Dutch court but when the US commits countless warcrimes and crimes against humanity in every single country their armed forces step on they're silent...
To be fair, eating expired MREs and having to do their laundry in whatever they could get their hands on in the field isn’t unusual. We do the same things in the American military too.
@King Raptor Then why are those politicians asking for more scrutiny and audit of aid given to Ukraine treated like traitors? Almost like there is a collusion between many corrupt people at the top to skim tax money!
@Ncs I won't deny that there is certainly a lot of corruption in the highest levels of our government and military but it's nowhere near as bad as it is in Russia. Western militaries emphasize accountability, accountability, and accountability above all else - any weapon, optic, or shipment of supplies going missing is a HUGE fucking deal and all hell will be let loose until it is tracked down. I didn't mean that eating expired MREs or doing laundry wherever you can when you're in the field is indicative of poor logistics or corruption, that's just how militaries work.
Well I mean, look at the houses, cars, and wealth of all your American "leaders" from politicians and generals. They needed to get the money from somewhere. This video act like Russian oligarchs are the only greedy people even though we can easily see the amount of American billionaires smh
1st of all, I appreciate your channel where you share both your knowledge and humor. In this video, you brought up the deceptive Russian media is...and I thought to my self, "I'm sure happy the USA media tells the truth! LOL! Damn all the wantabe journalist!
I understand that these kind of videos are aimed at demoting the capability of the Russian military efforts.... but I stopped watching when clear proof of its bias was shown with the Poland incident. I hope Ukraine wins... but I don't want to have my time wasted by watching biased youtube content. This video is uncredible.
My university had an exchange program with a sister school in Russia, and so we had professors & students that went there all the time (one was friends with Stalin's daughter & my ex-wife studied there for a semester). Our economics professor said he was looking out his hotel window watching construction in the parking lot and saw a wooden flatbed truck pull up with tar on it, the guys quickly pushed it all out with brooms before it dried in the truck, it only half covered the lot, and then they were done for the day & didn't come back to finish. This how I imagine everything is done there, half completed using the lowest tech processes you can imagine.
Russia has the weapons, but not the troops Some or most are undertrained and due to that, soldiers will die due to their leader, innocent soldiers who've been fed lies will die Both Ukraine people and Russian people will lose something heavily We humans will never be able to avoid war with one another until we learn it truly, teach it truly and have no lies to the future generation about the heavy weight of war. Heavyweights on humans and our one and only green-blue planet.
I have a number of Russian Vostok watches, they are very basic and they will go down to depths of 200 metres +. Would I actually want to dive in one to those depths, NO! They have a lot of equipment that can do the job, it just doesn’t do it very well.
SInce 2014, the army of Ukraine recieved a lot of training from western militaries. In just 8 short years they managed to modernize their army. Meanwhile, Russia's military continued to rot.
Yeah, we put a lot of work into making sure this war would happen, making sure it would be as bad as possible, last as long as possible, and sell a LOT of weapons and ammo.
I was with you until you dissed the Moist Nugget rifle. If it was good enough for Ivan in 1905 and 1917...and 1939 and 1945...it's good enough for Ivan today, dammit!
My dad has a colleague who was drafted into the war, he is 20 now, he had a class of 16 students and only 3 returned with one being captured. he was assigned into a sniper division and they used mosin nagant rifles with modern scopes (these are the same rifles the Soviet Union used in ww2 against Germany). You guys have probably heard of the Russian army using maxim machine guns and you probably have seen a few videos of them, well I thought there were just a few of these machine guns and weren’t used en masse, but they are. The colleague said he was posted in an entrenchment system and he would go around being a sniper, he said he saw many maxim machine guns and could hear them being used a lot. This is because it turns out that the maxim machine gun actually supports one of the most common machine gun rounds used by the Russian army which is why they are using the maxims so much. The reason he was sent back home was because he suffered two gun shot wounds and 2 concussions.
Old=/=bad, the US still uses a machine gun based on the M1919, before the 92FS became their current service weapon they still used the M1911, the B-52 is from...the 50‘s...
@Praetorian Yeah the US fund their army more than anything else but really I think the sheer amount of allies they have do more intimidation than the army.
All these years of collecting taxes, so much money, and they didn't even invest that in their army. A functional army is a dictator's wet dream yet nope, not gonna equip & maintain my army. The psychology of narcissists (US government) but at a whole different level (Russian government). At least the US gov know what without their army they're nothing so they're taking extra care of it.
@Obi-Wan Kenobi They are getting pushed back mostly due to lack of experience, supplies (ammo, food, etc.) and overwhelming amounts of donated equipment, not because they are using an old but apparently still reliable weapon. The reason I say its a good idea is because of the abundance of ammo and because a gun is a gun, it's going to kill regardless of the age and of course if it's reliable and easy to use then it makes sense to use it. Also NATO do use weapons that date as far back as 1919 in the form of the M2 and M1919 browning MG's.
4:11 Not sure about this one. The Soviets used a lot of these in ww2 and they hold the warmth better than normal socks. Not as good as thermo socks thought.
Design Age doesn’t determine use ability. For example the mini gun is based on the Gatling gun, the M2 was designed in the early 1900’s. Both are still in service
Thank you for showing the world the truth about Russia. And as a Russian, I can say that almost everything you said coincides with reality - budget figures, the number of tanks, etc. Hope this hell ends soon
"they yelled at the russians to go home" I'm pretty sure i'm hearing "nahui" and from what i know it doesn't mean go home lmao I could be wrong though but it's one of the few words my russian speaking friend tought me
Ironically, I’ve seen a lot of real Russian military gears and equipment somehow end up for sale on some popular Chinese platforms such as Taobao, Jingdong, and Alibaba… I originally thought these are all replicas made in China for military enthusiasts, but it turned out that many of them are actually authentic Russian equipment of good quality, including anti-thermal camouflage uniforms, Kevlar bulletproof helmets etc, and even utility bayonets from the AK rifles🙃
@TheTeaStoners 1. Never said they have GOOD gear. 2. They annexed big part of ukraine, so i dont know if thats actually losing.( by "GOOD" i meant best in the world, obviosly they have working gear and not as bad as shown, but its obviously not best in the world.)
@Brrrt brrt oh yes, they have the best gear in the world, thats why they are winning this war so easy.... yeah right if you believe they have good gear then that is your choice but if they do have good gear, then why are they loosing ? because of the so called "nazi Ukrainians" ?
@Littlekong What is "ancient" about Ukraina? Everything connected to that identity is not more than 300-400 years old. The oldest about Ukrainian identity, when talking about non-Russian Ukrainian identity is the plan from western elite to make it and so try to destroy Russia. Real Ukrainians are at the same time Russians as "real" Texan are, in fact - Americans, more than any others. Believe or not, communist soviet regime did unproportionally more damage to the Russian people than any other. Estonians, Lituanians, LEtonians, "Ukrainians", all they can say they had had more luck than Russians under soviet regime. Soviet communism mostly destroyed Russian people as a spine of the Russian Empire.
Now one thing to take from this. They have the capability to build and make all the helmets and vests...so for now its good, but wouldnt be surprised some factory hidden up north is pumping these out...
As a British taxpayer, i know my taxes pay for the NHS, they also pay for the 248000 mile road network of the UK, although there's a fair amount of potholes, on the whole it's pretty good. I also pay for one of if not man for man the best military in the world. On the whole i'm happy If i saw this and was a Russian taxpayer, i'd be absolutely miserable and would be demanding a refund on my taxes lmao. What a crapshow.
Did it occur to you that this video might be complete and utter rubbish intended to gather a bajillion internet points? It's not even credible enough to demoralise any Russians who might see it, so I doubt it is even intended as anti-Russian propaganda.
The use of Mosin Nagant probably more like a personal choice. The 7.62x54R is a widely available caliber everywhere. Its basically the standard hunting caliber in East Europe. The PKM classes (machine guns) also has the same ammo which is again widely available in military storages. Just because the design is old those rifles could be pretty brand new, just taken out from grease, stored somewhere in decades. They also use it back home for hunting, so knowing a gun is again a plus. Do not underestimate a weapon just because it's design is old. Knife is pretty much an old design, and its still count as a weapon.
"Knife is pretty much an old design, and its still count as a weapon." thats a terrible comparison however. I agree that the mosin nagant is an excellent rifle and the 7.62x54r is an extremely powerful round and even more so than the NATO .308/7.62x51 but compared to modern bolt action rifles its not so great. The bolt isnt as smooth as most of these rifles are really old, and i highly doubt they've replaced the old barrels with modern ones that would help with accuracy and distance. And thats not even including the ammo probably not being nearly as consistent as NATO counterparts since snipers from NATO countries use their own custom ammo and know what they're firing. I cant imagine a country that doesnt have enough of something as basic as socks, giving their recon units custom ammunition for their mosins.
I've been waiting for a video like this to really explain what happened with Russia and its military. This is a very well done and informative video on the subject. I'm sure more will come out as time goes on as well. It's incredible to me that Russia had the world so well duped, but then again the Soviet Union was always doing the same thing and Putin is a product of that himself. However, I assumed he would not be so foolish as to actually pull the curtain back and let the world see the sorry state. Putin is such a cunning politician in most other regards, but I suppose everyone makes a mistake and Putin has been in power so long he has become detached from what the reality of the situation is. Evidence to Putin being unaware just how bad things were is the fact that he is changing his inner circle and in some cases those members are going missing entirely. And of course the ones suffering from this are soldiers who don't want to be there and of course the Ukrainian people. As winter looms, I imagine things will only get worse.
@HathcockDMR I'm not exactly sure what you are referencing, but if it's the 'NATO army's haven't stepped in yet', there is a very big difference between volunteers and full military mobilization from NATO. That would be a very different situation.
@Gitami C Ursula, "mistakenly" said that there are more than 100k ukrainian soldiers killed, not long after that the statement disappeared. A day later a Russian Telegram channel made a post with a chart and photos of thousands of obituaries of Ukrainian soldiers that can be found online, the total number was 107k. However, the ukros are denying it and the officials are lying that the casualties are only 10k... Considering that most of the dead ukrainian soldiers are treated like vanished without a trace, because by doing so the government is not obligated to pay to the victims families, we can get a picture of what the actual death toll given by the ukros is.
@Maximus Aralieous Most of the "volunteers" and the PMC's fighting on the ukrainian side are US, UK, Polish and French ex.special forces, dafu* are you talking about?
The ones you show where they have poor helmets and body armour and stuff those are from front line troops which in obvious sense front troops don't have the best but the special troops have the best think about the samurai era their front are not good as it is but their elite is so it's no doubt Russia still has good stuff for others but not for all and another not because it's seen in few doesn't mean it's for all of them already
@Lolatron45 all wars is tough and rough, so... It will be finished some days...as a Russian myself can say that it hard for our army, entire world against us But at the end we will see on which side is truth
@Kingslayer or its just incredibly hard for both sides.. essentially we have people holding on for dear life with external help and people holding on for dear life without external help + sanctions.
9:28 i love how you used kerbal space program there😅 also this vid shows the true side of the russian military, incredible how underpowered they are compared to what they claim

With our current woke and corrupt leadership in the US, I worry about our combat readiness. I support our military but discourage my boys to join in this environment.
It might be unbelievable to see so many things failing due to maintenance, but to be honest high end tanks, trucks, and aircraft require a very significant amount of highly trained crews to support their operation. For example for each individual fighter jet sortie you will typically have between 20-50 technicians dealing with the fuel, inspections, engine maintenance, repair, rearmament around the clock. Much older equipment, like the simple truck or less sophisticated tanks, requires less frequent maintenance and fewer support personnel; but they still require people trained in proper procedures and quality components (tank tracks fall off pretty easily if you use 40-60 year old spare parts, or don't know the people with knowledge of the 'tricks' to making them last). And then when you use that older equipment you can't expect them to perform up to the speeds and capabilities of newer models.
@vsGoliathor they siphoned out all the good gasoline or diesel and put in either water or stale gas so that it looks full in terms of the fuel gauge but when you go to start it runs for maybe five seconds and then stalls because the carburetor is clogged as shit
Reminded of a story a friend told me when he lived in Russia. he needed a washing machine asked his Russian counterpart what to buy. He told to buy this one. 3 weeks later it broke. he fixed it. He went to the Russian and asked why did you say this was a good buy. The response "Its easy to fix." That is an interesting mind set.
@Kevin Smithwick Since February 23, the DPR and LPR have been fully mobilized its Nazi army and almost all men already died. Now, when they became part of Ukraine. The good thing is that the Ukrainians have shown their fighting spirit from the top down, and they know resistance to Nazi russian army
@Max Max No, DPR and the LPR not even exists. UN not recognized this terrorist failed states. This land belongs to Ukraine, and all countries in the world are supporting Ukraine in this war
@Max Max You say that like agreeing this is a proxy war is some kind of checkmate. Of course both sides in the war (pre-2022) were proxies. Also second line Russian standards are still pretty low. The VDV were the only sizable pre-war force, that was reasonably equipped by western standards.
The most painful thing for them was their dramatic loss of the equipment they could get started. Equipment that will take them multiple decades to replace. In order to have enough to defend their territory in the event of a NATO conflict they would have to pull off a mass production miracle to replace current losses. As it currently stands they do not have enough equipment to defend against a serious invasion and would have to use tac nukes immediately. Not even a paper tiger more like a wet kleenex tiger now.
You can bet that if the war ended, and assuming Russia had cash or gas to pay, western politicians would be rushing to sell Russia the kit and technology to make money for their mates, at first excuse. not forgetting cheap help from China.
@Trokgorny Ball There is an enormous difference between the two. The US military is modern, well-stocked, top tech, battle tested, repeatedly trained, etc. The US military is exponentially more lethal. Russia has always thrown their soldiers and civilians toward the fire as cannon fodder.
@Hero4fun I mean can you blame them? Look at how many idiots eat up Trump's BS and they have unlimited access to the internet unlike Russians. And they have been protesting. Difference is if they start showing up with weapons Putin wouldn't hesitate to have the army open fire on them all. The fact that they are protesting at all is impressive since they could get locked up for life and there's nothing stopping it from happening.
Russian are being lied to, but they should be able to do something about it if they all protest, but lots of them still belief kremlin's propaganda. Get out of the propaganda is the first step, second the protest, third storm the corrupted government's place. Time is money and russian government is wasting russian citizen money for their own benefit. Money that could have spent for easier life for russians. Too bad.
@TetraGames Team Ignorant people think that, but they don't matter. The people who do matter know what's going on and don't hate you for it. Because you can't even talk about the war in a negative way without getting locked up for it.
@IRISHgamerKAIN yes, you're correct. The Russia sucks because of Putin mostly. Sadly, a lot of people still hate us and say we could prevent all of this somehow 😕

Look how civilized westerner's with blue eye's are struggling to say that they are the good side and stronger than enemy
@John Shelton They are.
Are you a real expert?
And yet you have people on You Tube, claiming that Russia is winning the war.

@Semechki for Putin Submarines have flags, but they prefer to fly brooms.
@Clara Hilaire Tessier Where?
@Vertti Koo Yes, are you going to fight ?
A Ukrainian soldier ran up to a nun, out of breath, he asked, Please may I hide under your skirt, I’ll explain later he said. The nun agreed. A moment later two military police ran up and asked. “Sister have you seen a soldier” The nun replied, he went that way. After the military police ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, “I can’t thank you enough, Sister, you see I don’t want to get mobilized, they've already forced us to stay in the country despite being bombed daily!. The nun said “I understand completely” The soldier added, “I hope I’m not rude but you have a great pair of legs! The nun replied, “if you looked a little higher, you would’ve seen a great pair of balls too. I don’t want to be forced to fight either. SLAVA UKRAINA
russian troops themselves have known for years that their equipment and vehicles sucked. one soldier famously said about the BTR, which is supposed to be an amphibious vehicle "we dont bother driving it into water, we know it will sink like a rock"
@Jose Avila if the rubber seals are loose. They are not amphibious anymore
@Jose Avila far as i know, BTRs are all amphibious. with the exception of btr 40 and btr152
I thought only certain btr types were amphibious
@Privat Adress bro, captalist had it flaws,but at least it make the citzens live comfortable, communism on other hand
it only led to riot or protest.
@Privat Adress come on then, russian bot, are you gonna respond or what? pathetic.
It's still a good rifle especially with a good scope on it . I have a .243 varmint gun based on a Mauser 98 action that was designed in 1898 and my one was manufactured in 1902 . With some modification and a heavy alloy rail stock plus good handloads it shoots very accurately .
@O5-3 What the fuck are you talking about? All Barrett 50. cals are anti material rifles, they're not suppose to shoot people regardless.
@O5-3 0.50 calibre is for the small vehicles, armor, buildings not for people
I can get better MOA for $450 at a Walmart, buying a Savage.
Barrett weight 14kg, Mosin Nagant weight 4kg...
Mosin Nagant is a very good sniper riffle like every other serious military riffle. Old riffle doesn't mean bad riffle. They are intended to kill. Old riffle like Mosin Nagant are overpowered, they frequently overpower modern riffle...
Mosin-Nagants are fine for certain things if they are accurized, QC was garbage during manufacture, but they are still not up to modern combat. They are suitable for sporterization as civilian hunting rifles and as collector wall-hanger surplus rifles. Militarily all they are good for is ceremonial, training, and far-in-the-rear security duties for troops that should never have to use them in anger. That they are being issued out of Soviet stockpile to frontline combat troops today is frightening. It was replaced in the DMR role by the SVD in the 1960's. Insanity.
Russia is currently the second best Military in Ukraine, definitely not the World.
@LaStick ツ good.
52 countries are helping Ukraine
I know a girl whos dad is a logistics general ( very high up in supply chain of russian army ).
Now , she and her brother have lived in Bulgaria for 12 years or so. Never worked , have kids , no working spouse. They travel world wide . Have all the toys.
I know her and her brother and the corruption is from a lowest rank for $5 USD to billions at level of billionares that keep $$ OUTSIDE of Russia
@dykytsenko
How about super corrupt American politicians, bureaucrats, and oligarchs?
@DavidElCid300 mostly supercorrupted african politicians
Do you know any other nation/nationality that does the same thing? Hmm?
Have the corrupt Russians already obtained Bulgarian citizenship?
“Appear weak when you are strong and *strong when you are weak”*
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Some Ukrainian high rank officers are thankful to russian oligarchs for stealing money from army, the war would be much more difficult if russians were fully investing into army and have legit threat. All they have right now is mercenaries with rusty AK47's and childish tantrum nuclear threats.
Not a great idea when you're using sophisticated technology in warfare.
@𝟗𝐖𝟑𝟐𝟑𝟎 It's foolish to rely on old dogs to herd young sheep
@Lmaousack It's foolish to rely on assumptions 🧐
@Awake Ant nonono, they appear strong when they are weak, that much they did right. The text between the lines is that weak = no fight, they fought
Imagine knowing all of these issues yet still deciding to invade.
They were so embarrased over these issues they had to blur stuff.
That is the point, they didn't know!
The corruption and propaganda are so significant that even the government believes itself to that
@anonymous i have actually... reluance in established war chest almost exhausted (coincidentally demonstrating Russia was planning a war for years in advance).
Oil at inflated prices being capped...
Brain drain of professionals from Russia fleeing...
Population growth in the negatives...
Loss of life and no ability to replace exhausted technology...
Russia has destroyed itself...
Makes me wonder whether you have any care for the average citizen... clearly not.
@anonymous and lost even more of the seized ground at the cost of theor econony and hundreds of thousands of russian lives lost :)
this guy said the russians ran out of ammo 8 mons ago lol
When I did my compulsory military service in the Russian Army, I was assigned to a new unit that had been established less than a year earlier, and we were already short of uniforms. By the end of my service, the situation had only gotten worse.
5:40 Well, you gotta hand it to Russian logistics: It takes some talent to destroy a Kalashnikov like that
Uh, mix Mazut/Bunker fuel with used motor oil, heat till the mix is good and runny, then immerse stuff you want to not rust in it and then drag it out to cool?
Note: the above “waste” materials give a “crude and nasty” species of “Cosmoline.” Adding some paraffin or other petroleum waxes would result in a (much?) closer approximation to the real thing.
Maybe they were short on cosmoline.
It's easier then you think. Sell materials and pocket money what was given to repair warehouse roof. Inspectors never will come when it's rainy weather. They will never open crate to check firearm condition.
I guess since they designed it, they would know a shortcut or two in destroying AKs.
That feeling when tank turrets have more air time than planes.
Russian Tanks have earned frequent flyer miles. 😂
Didn't understand this til 8:30.
I'm fucking dying lmao send an ambulamps
@SamboBambo It was revealed only a couple of weeks ago that it is estimated that 100,000 Ukrainians have been killed. Presumably, this includes combatants.
@Stop Motion Harry not in all cases.
@спецназThe Ukrainian army has much better Western tanks coming .
Just to add to the wildness, that rifle at 5:59 is actually a pellet gun.. probably not the only Russian soldier who was outfitted with one either
@Leo kind of sus you went from special forces to special operation forces. Also strange to see a colonel from the special forces community commenting on Clip-Share shorts or even an account with a bio like yours. With 9 combat tours you must have a stack like Sam Trautman colonel. I'd ask where but from 1977-1994 we aren't really at war with anyone so it must have been mostly with SOAR right?
Do you really believe Russia can not give it's 200k soliders modern weapons? That is apsurd if you really think so my friendly advice is stop watching all media. Russia does 20% of world's arms trade and I think that should enable them to afford guns...
Russians do in fact use air guns, Spetsnaz primarily.
Don’t knock an air rifle. In my 12 years with the 5th special forces, my mos was weapon Sargent , we tested and adopted several air rifles from .17 to .22 cal. Deadly as hell at 50 yards. Steel pellets, sub sonic. Head shot, you’re down for the count. Zero flash, low noise and silenced to a whisper.
Probably not a Russian soldier either, but an actor in the USA.
@Tax Evader 76 my comment got deleted probably because it had a link, you can find them for sale it’s called “sniper tactical QB57” it’s a cheap Chinese pellet gun. they’re actually becoming a bit of a collectors item now too bc of this footage lol that’s why you’ll see some of them are actually selling for a decent amount
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” This alone is enough to proof Putin is not a smart man.
I absolutely love that Russia CHOSE to go to war knowing full well they couldn’t support their troops. What a mind boggling situation.
Which is why i dont believe anything i hear on the news. The only part i believe is that there is conflict in ukraine. Anything further is a question mark
It was Putin who chose to go to war. The problem was that he'd been told his armed forces were way way better than they actually are. But he knows that now...... Putin was *so* confident in his army, he claimed they could have boots on the ground in 6 European Capital cities within 48 hours.....
im speechless, russias mass produced reconisence drone includes a water bottle and normal cameras as parts
4:42 That helmet is an STSh-81 "Sfera" helmet and it is a real design from all the way back in the Soviet Union times. Issued mostly to interior police and special purpose troops for anti-terrorism and urban combat, it consists of three separate titanium or steel plates. It's an older design, and looks odd because of its unorthodox construction, but it isn't necessarily a fake. (although commercial reproductions are made for airsoft or cosplay that offer zero protective capabilities and this could be one such example)
@phill davies I love these clueless misinformed people that always trying to be cocky but end up saying nonsense, you realise the purpose of a ballistic helmet is not to stop bullets right?
@phill davies you don't buy helmets to protect from high velocity rounds wtf are you talking about. it's there for small fragmentation debris and falling objects like rocks, sticks, and other things that get displaced in combat. Even a plastic helmet is better than nothing in that sense.
@CaptainDope thats the purpose of all helmets muppet. Even "Real helmets" arent meant to, and rarely can take a straight shot
Kim the little missile man: Who are you?
Russian: Im U. But little bigger.
3:14 ok I do get what he means but that video is old AF, like March tipe shit
So Russia's only greatest strength was scare tactics?
If what this video say is true, Ukraine will be winning already. Corruption is every where, USA is highly corrupted or where you think all the billions they sent to Ukraine are going. I think even thing USA and Russia are partnering under the table to Use this war so each other can scam their own pople an Europe.
And the idiocy of the people
@jollygreenjeff Not sure they'll stack up to the modern ones US giving to Ukraine.
No. Scare tactics and ancient weapons! You can’t forget the ancient weapons!
Before the Ukraine war i would have called bullshit on this video but the Russian performance points to you being right
very well written. thank you.
It is a cultural problem. From my limited experience of spending 22 hours in Sheremeteyevo airport in Moscow and talking to everyone including the airport director, everything in Russia works with bribes and stealing government money. Everyone said corruption is worse now than Soviet times. The airport police would all gather under a giant no smoking sign to smoke cigarettes. The x-ray machines are permanently kept turned off to "save electricity", but I bet they were fake. Any cash or alcohol I had in my luggage was stolen by customs. The Russian airline provided a 3 meal credit because our connecting plane broke and had a 22 hour layover, but the airport managers took a cut of the money, so for 3 meals they gave me enough money for a bag of chips and a bottle of water. There were only a couple of benches and chairs in the whole airport, because someone stole the money for benches. From what I saw, bribery and corruption is as much part of the culture as not smiling for photos or drinking vodka.
It sounds as though the west would do better than supply Ukraine if they just offered to buy any Russian kit that happened to drive out of Russia control. Nothing would reach the front
I mean, the basic idea of avoiding war by making your enemy think you cant be beat isnt very stupid.
What IS stupid is starting a war you cant win because you forgot your own military doctrine. Thats not just stupid, thats absolutely insane.
Russia attacked with a contingent of 120,000-180,000 soldiers plus a Seraratist force from eastern Ukraine, the 250,000-300,000 army of Ukraine.
Moreover, they stretched these 120000 both along a huge front and in time, they were gradually withdrawn from the reserve for 2 weeks when they saw the failures of the forward detachments.
Of these 120,000, not all of them were full-fledged army, many of them were more of a police force and were armed with parade uniforms, rubber batons, tear gas and plasma shields to disperse demonstrators.
Putin did not plan a war, he planned a special operation where the Russian army intimidates everyone and changes the regime in Ukraine. How did the Taliban in Afghanistan when 70,000 Taliban dispersed the 300,000 Afghan army armed with American weapons.
And the Russian Army, despite all its problems, has more modern weapons than the Taliban!
In 2014, Kharkov, captured several hundred rebels and held it for several days, in 2014 the entire Odessa fleet temporarily went over to the side of the Russian Federation until the commander of the fleet was arrested by the Ukrainian authorities for treason.
The Russian Federation has no reason to believe that 120,000 soldiers and modernized tanks will not be enough to capture Ukraine.
@Kokiden Wanna test it? One missile = 12 warheads for Europe or, 6 for USA.
@Ketoku Yeah and they hardly have any means to drop one. The US has let china and Russia think for years they are strong. But the US is far superior. North Korea would be a better fight than china
I've seen all kinds of propaganda including north korean propaganda and I have to say russian propaganda takes the price. 😂
It's also how the Russians have done things for generations.
Let's Game It Out, playing russian nation:
"I tricked everyone into thinking I am the 2nd strongest military power on earth by building fake tanks, planes, nuklear missles, armor und guns. exploided my own military, by letting my soldiers buy their own equipment."
Good one!
This was a truely amazing video :o) LOVED it !!!
Those guns belong in a museum, not in the military.
Remember when Kherson was forever Russian? Funny times 😂
Remember when lose mariupol was lise ukraine? Or lose soledar?)
It is still hard to believe, that what's going on is already a history. Glad that estimations, about the time given to Ukraine, were wrong. Even for myself it was a surprise, that our army endured under such pressure.
I'll never forget the morning wake up from my mother with: "Wake up, the war has begun". The dread that rushed into my blood stream, when I looked for the news in my phone and TV. When the city became "dead" at the rush hour and you can feel with your skin how everyone is scared and rush to ATMs.
Hours were so stretched, that it felt years to finally reach the evening, where you finally get a mental breakdown from all those news, that you consumed through the daylight, and the fear of unknown.
The first night, when you sleep fully clothed and wake every hour to check the news, to see what's going on and how close the enemies to your city.
The second day you pack all you can and just sit in front of TV, donate all money from your bank account to the army and scroll news on a phone, all day till midnight.
The only thing that helped to disctract from this, for a short time, was a hot shower.
Recall, that on the fourth day, one channel on TV suddenly switched from 24/7 news to a Harry Potter and The Gobllet of Fire at midnight time. That was the only time you would fall asleep and wake up next morning to a Harry Potter still being aired. For 2 weeks.)
WOw, thanks for sharing what that was really like. It sounds so just like it would be.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Stay safe.
Know that a lot of people all over the world are hoping for you and your people to come through it and remain free. It shook my world too and I too feared it might end bad, especially in the beginning and it never really goes away.
Stay strong, Ukraine will prevail
Да... 24 число просто страшно вспоминать! Этот подъём от взрывов в 5 утра будет мне долго сниться в кошмарах...
What an incredible short documentary, 👏
If you mean incredible as in not credible, I agree. Do not believe any side's propaganda. Russia is corrupt as is Ukraine. Look at all the family members of politicians that had business in Ukraine.
The most impressive military hardware in this video has to be the luxury yachts! 👍😂
"The" mosin was developed way further and became a very decent weapon family. But ofc it is a bolt action and is in no way or form even comparable to modern weapons. There was a reason why the soviets pushed for the SVT-38 and other semi-automatic weapons at the beginning of WW2.
These types of weapons are "partisan" weapons. They should not be used by a professional army.
Imagine you are a trooper getting issued one of those and the enemy side uses modern small arms. A trooper with almost no basic training non the less. While you fumble your 5- round stripper clip into your guns chamber the enemy almost instantly swaps out their 30 or 60 round magazines and bullets fly above you. There is no way a russian push can even slightly penetrate a fortified ukrainian position with theses types of guns. There is zero suppression from a couple of bullets fired every couple of seconds. A single AR has more pushing power.
You can't breakthrough with artillery fire, airstrikes or rocketstrikes. Those tactics open gaps, sure but it is for infantry and tanks to exploit those. With the degrading russian tank stockpile and the sorry state of its infantry equipment it makes sense why the russian general stuff resorted to terror striking ukrainian cities.
A quite accurately produced news compilation! I'm a ukrainian, and I can vouch for the facts in it. Thank you for spreading the word about
these lunatics and their empire.
It blows my mind that Russia didn't take inventory of their invasion force beforehand. Like how do you not have equipment and arms when you are the country invading? They had all the time to prepare for this and no one thought about getting the equipment in fighting shape beforehand? I am no general or military man but if I was in charge of an invasion my first step would be to check how much equipment we have, how well it's operating and what is actually useful. Logistics and preparation go such a long way. Imagine expecting someone to fight for you when you give them cardboard body armor.
Russia attacked with a contingent of 120,000-180,000 soldiers plus a Seraratist force from eastern Ukraine, the 250,000-300,000 army of Ukraine.

The Russian Federation has no reason to believe that 120,000 soldiers and modernized tanks will not be enough to capture Ukraine.
What's the point of doing an inventory before an invasion? Are you out of your mind? What do you want every Russian general to voluntarily deliver a detailed report on how much he stole? 😆
do you want to tell putin that 1/3 of the 10,000 tanks aren't operational when he's been giving you billions a years for the military and you've been buying boats and hoes
@Ray Ilmast Seriously? Because they simply do not want to, they would rather deter this Putin disaster. That is why the West is supplying in small increments, to try and discourage Russia/Putin. If they went all out, then what? Not good for the East or West. Not good globally. Putin is trying to hide his sins of embezzling rubles.
Maybe you should ask a different question, like for example, if things for Russians so bad, then why collective west still not managed to do much to defeat Russia?! More than forty countries giving support to Ukraine, $140 billion already spend in arms shipping and all for nothing.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like a severe misallocation of resources to even make an attempt at bolstering your navy if the resources you have available cant upgrade said navy to even half that of your opposition. Would you not be better off prioritizing what would be fronting the majority of your military operations, which for Russia, has been, and still is their meatshield infantry?
hahahaha, you think russians have common sense
As a US soldier looking at what they are dealing with, I sleep a little more sound at night knowing that although our equipment could be better, it work and gets the job done. Training is actually given thought, and we go through many theoretical scenarios. Not to mention, our support is top-notch. Just so those of you wondering know. Yes, the US army spends its money on things that matter and keeps a competent force of soldiers. Thank god I didn't grow up in russia.
US army have amazing equipment, my uncle been in military for many years now and went to many hot points, like Afghanistan and said American bases are like shopping malls, u can find everything, he bought an ipad there cuz it was cheaper lul. Soldier equipment is also top notch wich is no surprise bcs highest military funding in the world. Literally no other country compares. So yeah u should actually be very happy about ur equipment.
US military goofs up with some of its over-budget tech projects, but at its core has some amazing equipment and vehicles while prioritizing the safety of soldiers over everything else.
Never laughed so much in all my life. Putin found out his Army is just as criminally corrupt as him 🤣🤣🤣 Paper 🐻 LMFAO !!! Western Military's are in a different league all together than Russia. This ain't 1941 when the U.K and U.S supplied the Soviet Union with everything just to keep them in the fight 😂 SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦
Reminds me of when Trunks tried to kill the Androids when they were reviving 16 and did no damage. Then Vegeta says something along the lines of, "All you've managed to do is let them know how weak you are."
Igor Strelkov, who appears in this video, is also known as Igor Girkin. He was recently convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, along with two others, for the missile strike which brought down flight MH17 in 2014. I understand there is a reward of $150,000 for finding him and handing him in (to the Dutch court which convicted him or the Ukrainian government, who would pass him to them). So if you are short of cash, and have some spare time, give it a go. I last heard of Igor fighting in Ukraine as a volunteer in the Russian army.
@pineapplepizza aka germaneistee Its not "some random Dutch courts".
They've been sentenced in the International Court of Justice which is located in The Hague, Netherlands.
@Felix You are a pathetic victim of propaganda
@SkrtSkrttt Things change quickly, especially during wars. Anything could happen.
@pineapplepizza aka germaneistee It's unbelievable how delusional these people are, they expect Russia to care even in the slightest about this Dutch court but when the US commits countless warcrimes and crimes against humanity in every single country their armed forces step on they're silent...
@Elisa Bird Good luck getting him lol, he's a former FSB officer...
This is why I'm not concerned about Tyranny. A dictator will always forget there's 10 other people looking to overthrow him in his personal circle.
"I'm not concerned" he says as tyranny continues regardless in Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, Belarus, North Korea etc. 🙄
Excellent video. Well prepared. I had a good laughter 😅
So much for the second best. I'm not sure about China's condition but im thinking they're probably better, even with far more soldiers.
To be fair, eating expired MREs and having to do their laundry in whatever they could get their hands on in the field isn’t unusual. We do the same things in the American military too.
@Ncs That’s a pretty big leap of logic. I do agree with the need to stress accountability of our gear being sent to Ukraine.
@King Raptor Then why are those politicians asking for more scrutiny and audit of aid given to Ukraine treated like traitors? Almost like there is a collusion between many corrupt people at the top to skim tax money!
@Ncs I won't deny that there is certainly a lot of corruption in the highest levels of our government and military but it's nowhere near as bad as it is in Russia. Western militaries emphasize accountability, accountability, and accountability above all else - any weapon, optic, or shipment of supplies going missing is a HUGE fucking deal and all hell will be let loose until it is tracked down. I didn't mean that eating expired MREs or doing laundry wherever you can when you're in the field is indicative of poor logistics or corruption, that's just how militaries work.
Well I mean, look at the houses, cars, and wealth of all your American "leaders" from politicians and generals. They needed to get the money from somewhere. This video act like Russian oligarchs are the only greedy people even though we can easily see the amount of American billionaires smh
you know the situation is bad when even the missiles want to return home
Makes you wonder about the state (as in safety) of their nuclear arsenal.
@Ysin van Gulik is anyone left alive in Ukraine?
😂
Wants to return home is the best one I’ve heard in a really long time
Russian Roulette Missiles!!! 😅😂🤣
Imagine getting the same boots that your grandpa wore in world war II
Wore*
I have seen russians were these boots in 2014-2018
1st of all, I appreciate your channel where you share both your knowledge and humor. In this video, you brought up the deceptive Russian media is...and I thought to my self, "I'm sure happy the USA media tells the truth! LOL! Damn all the wantabe journalist!
I understand that these kind of videos are aimed at demoting the capability of the Russian military efforts.... but I stopped watching when clear proof of its bias was shown with the Poland incident. I hope Ukraine wins... but I don't want to have my time wasted by watching biased youtube content. This video is uncredible.
This was a great video. Thanks hanks for putting it together
My university had an exchange program with a sister school in Russia, and so we had professors & students that went there all the time (one was friends with Stalin's daughter & my ex-wife studied there for a semester). Our economics professor said he was looking out his hotel window watching construction in the parking lot and saw a wooden flatbed truck pull up with tar on it, the guys quickly pushed it all out with brooms before it dried in the truck, it only half covered the lot, and then they were done for the day & didn't come back to finish. This how I imagine everything is done there, half completed using the lowest tech processes you can imagine.
@David he was sarcastic.
We have the same thing in the UK. The builders are called Pikkies. Did they also sell bunches of lucky heather?
@David Vik No, since Zelensky is in Ukraine, nothing has changed with the corruption
and they bought cheap Taobao walkie talkie for military use, that just LMAO.🤣🤣🤣
@Gar Sm no they all got kicked out when Russia invaded
Remember they got rid of the Russian backed leader and elected zolenski
I agree with the video! And for full clearence Ukrainian side problems should be shown.
"Well, they voted in favor of Russia, but honestly, this one video I saw of protestors means that's not true." OK buddy, lol
Russia has the weapons, but not the troops
Some or most are undertrained
and due to that, soldiers will die
due to their leader, innocent soldiers who've been fed lies will die
Both Ukraine people and Russian people will lose something heavily
We humans will never be able to avoid war with one another until we learn it truly, teach it truly and have no lies to the future generation about the heavy weight of war. Heavyweights on humans and our one and only green-blue planet.
Great video!
I have a number of Russian Vostok watches, they are very basic and they will go down to depths of 200 metres +. Would I actually want to dive in one to those depths, NO! They have a lot of equipment that can do the job, it just doesn’t do it very well.
SInce 2014, the army of Ukraine recieved a lot of training from western militaries. In just 8 short years they managed to modernize their army. Meanwhile, Russia's military continued to rot.
Yeah, we put a lot of work into making sure this war would happen, making sure it would be as bad as possible, last as long as possible, and sell a LOT of weapons and ammo.
So that's why Abramovich had such a large yacht.
imagine being a russian soldier and seeing that you have the same equipment as your grandpa
Lol that is funny
Use what works the best ;) I mean the red army took Berlin or am I wrong?
If it works it works
Imagine finding out your Grandpa is still considered fit to be mobilised to the front line of something that's supposed to not even be a full war 🤣🤣🤣
I had 50 years old gun when i was soldier
The absolute state of the Russian military
I was with you until you dissed the Moist Nugget rifle. If it was good enough for Ivan in 1905 and 1917...and 1939 and 1945...it's good enough for Ivan today, dammit!
6:10 There you have to differentiate between russian troops and the Lugansk and donetzk militias
That bulletproof vest 😳😭💀
My dad has a colleague who was drafted into the war, he is 20 now, he had a class of 16 students and only 3 returned with one being captured. he was assigned into a sniper division and they used mosin nagant rifles with modern scopes (these are the same rifles the Soviet Union used in ww2 against Germany). You guys have probably heard of the Russian army using maxim machine guns and you probably have seen a few videos of them, well I thought there were just a few of these machine guns and weren’t used en masse, but they are. The colleague said he was posted in an entrenchment system and he would go around being a sniper, he said he saw many maxim machine guns and could hear them being used a lot. This is because it turns out that the maxim machine gun actually supports one of the most common machine gun rounds used by the Russian army which is why they are using the maxims so much. The reason he was sent back home was because he suffered two gun shot wounds and 2 concussions.
Old=/=bad, the US still uses a machine gun based on the M1919, before the 92FS became their current service weapon they still used the M1911, the B-52 is from...the 50‘s...
@glass of milk lol yeah there's that too.
@Praetorian Yeah the US fund their army more than anything else but really I think the sheer amount of allies they have do more intimidation than the army.
All these years of collecting taxes, so much money, and they didn't even invest that in their army. A functional army is a dictator's wet dream yet nope, not gonna equip & maintain my army. The psychology of narcissists (US government) but at a whole different level (Russian government). At least the US gov know what without their army they're nothing so they're taking extra care of it.
@Obi-Wan Kenobi They are getting pushed back mostly due to lack of experience, supplies (ammo, food, etc.) and overwhelming amounts of donated equipment, not because they are using an old but apparently still reliable weapon. The reason I say its a good idea is because of the abundance of ammo and because a gun is a gun, it's going to kill regardless of the age and of course if it's reliable and easy to use then it makes sense to use it. Also NATO do use weapons that date as far back as 1919 in the form of the M2 and M1919 browning MG's.
4:11 Not sure about this one. The Soviets used a lot of these in ww2 and they hold the warmth better than normal socks. Not as good as thermo socks thought.
I completely believe the socks thing because its the only thing they couldn't sell on the black market.
Design Age doesn’t determine use ability. For example the mini gun is based on the Gatling gun, the M2 was designed in the early 1900’s. Both are still in service
@Lolatron45 old video from 2018 from saud-arabia🙂
@Deep Prey Yes it is
@Deep Prey Yes, it is, kind of.
The AK platform is from the 50’s is it out of date?
The AK platform is from the 50’s is it out of date?
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
It’s all about readiness folks. Can’t win a war without it!😉
Thank you for showing the world the truth about Russia.
And as a Russian, I can say that almost everything you said coincides with reality - budget figures, the number of tanks, etc.
Hope this hell ends soon
You know its bad when you're mom tells you that, we have military at home..😆
This is the best vid I've seen since the war began ... . rarely is the nail hit so precisely on the head
"they yelled at the russians to go home"
I'm pretty sure i'm hearing "nahui" and from what i know it doesn't mean go home lmao
I could be wrong though but it's one of the few words my russian speaking friend tought me
Idy Nahui basically means fuck off or go fuck yourself, so it sorta is that
@Alex S'aint oh thank you, as i said i don't know many words of russian and i am not learning russian so the help here is more than welcome
They're yelling "domoi" which means "go home". But in their mind they meant "nahui" for sure 😁
Ironically, I’ve seen a lot of real Russian military gears and equipment somehow end up for sale on some popular Chinese platforms such as Taobao, Jingdong, and Alibaba… I originally thought these are all replicas made in China for military enthusiasts, but it turned out that many of them are actually authentic Russian equipment of good quality, including anti-thermal camouflage uniforms, Kevlar bulletproof helmets etc, and even utility bayonets from the AK rifles🙃
Lol is true some military enthusiasts are getting russian equipment better than what russian soliders get
@John Sikes ? Dude even Mylar thermal blankets are anti thermal. Its easy. Reflect the laser.
@TheTeaStoners 1. Never said they have GOOD gear. 2. They annexed big part of ukraine, so i dont know if thats actually losing.( by "GOOD" i meant best in the world, obviosly they have working gear and not as bad as shown, but its obviously not best in the world.)
@Brrrt brrt oh yes, they have the best gear in the world, thats why they are winning this war so easy.... yeah right
if you believe they have good gear then that is your choice
but if they do have good gear, then why are they loosing ?
because of the so called "nazi Ukrainians" ?
@Littlekong What is "ancient" about Ukraina? Everything connected to that identity is not more than 300-400 years old. The oldest about Ukrainian identity, when talking about non-Russian Ukrainian identity is the plan from western elite to make it and so try to destroy Russia. Real Ukrainians are at the same time Russians as "real" Texan are, in fact - Americans, more than any others.
Believe or not, communist soviet regime did unproportionally more damage to the Russian people than any other. Estonians, Lituanians, LEtonians, "Ukrainians", all they can say they had had more luck than Russians under soviet regime. Soviet communism mostly destroyed Russian people as a spine of the Russian Empire.
14:57 fun fact that tank is like the first 1 to get stolen era from ukrainians
Now one thing to take from this. They have the capability to build and make all the helmets and vests...so for now its good, but wouldnt be surprised some factory hidden up north is pumping these out...
5:06 Aren’t those the actual proportions of Imperium Guard armor?
As a British taxpayer, i know my taxes pay for the NHS, they also pay for the 248000 mile road network of the UK, although there's a fair amount of potholes, on the whole it's pretty good. I also pay for one of if not man for man the best military in the world. On the whole i'm happy
If i saw this and was a Russian taxpayer, i'd be absolutely miserable and would be demanding a refund on my taxes lmao. What a crapshow.
Did it occur to you that this video might be complete and utter rubbish intended to gather a bajillion internet points? It's not even credible enough to demoralise any Russians who might see it, so I doubt it is even intended as anti-Russian propaganda.
The use of Mosin Nagant probably more like a personal choice. The 7.62x54R is a widely available caliber everywhere. Its basically the standard hunting caliber in East Europe. The PKM classes (machine guns) also has the same ammo which is again widely available in military storages. Just because the design is old those rifles could be pretty brand new, just taken out from grease, stored somewhere in decades. They also use it back home for hunting, so knowing a gun is again a plus. Do not underestimate a weapon just because it's design is old. Knife is pretty much an old design, and its still count as a weapon.
Shooting from a rusty AK probably more like a personal choice as well 😁 Its "Rust" game cosplayers 😆
"Knife is pretty much an old design, and its still count as a weapon." thats a terrible comparison however.
I agree that the mosin nagant is an excellent rifle and the 7.62x54r is an extremely powerful round and even more so than the NATO .308/7.62x51 but compared to modern bolt action rifles its not so great. The bolt isnt as smooth as most of these rifles are really old, and i highly doubt they've replaced the old barrels with modern ones that would help with accuracy and distance. And thats not even including the ammo probably not being nearly as consistent as NATO counterparts since snipers from NATO countries use their own custom ammo and know what they're firing. I cant imagine a country that doesnt have enough of something as basic as socks, giving their recon units custom ammunition for their mosins.
They hired early wipe Tarkov players to design their army loudouts
I have said since the late 70's the russians were not what people thought they were military wise. Now people see I was right
Great video
I've been waiting for a video like this to really explain what happened with Russia and its military. This is a very well done and informative video on the subject. I'm sure more will come out as time goes on as well. It's incredible to me that Russia had the world so well duped, but then again the Soviet Union was always doing the same thing and Putin is a product of that himself. However, I assumed he would not be so foolish as to actually pull the curtain back and let the world see the sorry state.
Putin is such a cunning politician in most other regards, but I suppose everyone makes a mistake and Putin has been in power so long he has become detached from what the reality of the situation is. Evidence to Putin being unaware just how bad things were is the fact that he is changing his inner circle and in some cases those members are going missing entirely. And of course the ones suffering from this are soldiers who don't want to be there and of course the Ukrainian people.
As winter looms, I imagine things will only get worse.
@ЭЮЯ In the depths of self-delusion, just like the simi-naked man, riding a horse, in the poster above *your* bed.
@ЭЮЯ You tell the -best- _jokes_
@HathcockDMR I'm not exactly sure what you are referencing, but if it's the 'NATO army's haven't stepped in yet', there is a very big difference between volunteers and full military mobilization from NATO. That would be a very different situation.
@Gitami C Ursula, "mistakenly" said that there are more than 100k ukrainian soldiers killed, not long after that the statement disappeared. A day later a Russian Telegram channel made a post with a chart and photos of thousands of obituaries of Ukrainian soldiers that can be found online, the total number was 107k. However, the ukros are denying it and the officials are lying that the casualties are only 10k... Considering that most of the dead ukrainian soldiers are treated like vanished without a trace, because by doing so the government is not obligated to pay to the victims families, we can get a picture of what the actual death toll given by the ukros is.
@Maximus Aralieous Most of the "volunteers" and the PMC's fighting on the ukrainian side are US, UK, Polish and French ex.special forces, dafu* are you talking about?
The ones you show where they have poor helmets and body armour and stuff those are from front line troops which in obvious sense front troops don't have the best but the special troops have the best think about the samurai era their front are not good as it is but their elite is so it's no doubt Russia still has good stuff for others but not for all and another not because it's seen in few doesn't mean it's for all of them already
If all of this was real, why would it take so long for Ukraïne to win this war?
@Lolatron45 all wars is tough and rough, so... It will be finished some days...as a Russian myself can say that it hard for our army, entire world against us
But at the end we will see on which side is truth
@Kingslayer or its just incredibly hard for both sides.. essentially we have people holding on for dear life with external help and people holding on for dear life without external help + sanctions.
propoganda. =_= u cannot believe utubers cuz u must be on field of battle to prove or not something that they say
they are just waiting for pight to kill
😂 I’m guessing Ukrainian soldiers hope that the 540.000 waiting on the border to come in have these rifles 😂
Well this is a very Western view
on Russia. I am not pro Russian but I really miss your souces and proof. A lot of the images you showed a propaganda.
9:28 i love how you used kerbal space program there😅 also this vid shows the true side of the russian military, incredible how underpowered they are compared to what they claim
Lol and what nato and ucraine win in war? ( Not when russian retreat themself)?
Impressive how corruption ruined their once good army in the soviet period

Pilots using google maps to navigate WTF?? 😂😂😂
It's funny how Wendover productions treats the threat of the Poseidon missle as very much real.
Due to the lack of solid facts, all viewpoints and supposition are equally valid and invalid.
This is literally what they did in ww1 and ww2 as well, just send everyone on the front, that will solve the problem...
With our current woke and corrupt leadership in the US, I worry about our combat readiness. I support our military but discourage my boys to join in this environment.
Brilliant video! Great delivery of information!
As a Ukrainian, I have to admit - everything that is said is true.
My recommendations!
Насолили сала в соледаре)
For the record, that was Ukrainian defence system that miss the Russian missle and kill 2 ppl in Poland.
So, what’s with the thumbnail? That was from the breakaway states in Ukraine, not the Russian army
It might be unbelievable to see so many things failing due to maintenance, but to be honest high end tanks, trucks, and aircraft require a very significant amount of highly trained crews to support their operation. For example for each individual fighter jet sortie you will typically have between 20-50 technicians dealing with the fuel, inspections, engine maintenance, repair, rearmament around the clock. Much older equipment, like the simple truck or less sophisticated tanks, requires less frequent maintenance and fewer support personnel; but they still require people trained in proper procedures and quality components (tank tracks fall off pretty easily if you use 40-60 year old spare parts, or don't know the people with knowledge of the 'tricks' to making them last). And then when you use that older equipment you can't expect them to perform up to the speeds and capabilities of newer models.
@vsGoliathor they siphoned out all the good gasoline or diesel and put in either water or stale gas so that it looks full in terms of the fuel gauge but when you go to start it runs for maybe five seconds and then stalls because the carburetor is clogged as shit
Bad luck then if their skill level is drunk Russian!
@Local Review King And then you find out that some conscript ripped all the wiring out to sell the copper for some Adidas.
@Boss Dog And when there is no maintenance... And when the gear is fifty years old...
I was a tech in the RAN and I can tell you that ALL military gear breaks down and needs fixing.
Can't wait for us to discover that russian ICBMs are damped 😂
One particular Top Gear clip comes to mind....
If that one of those ICMBs falls on your stupid head, would you be happy?
Ukraine has become a sink for NATO weapons .There is no shame in using old weapons if they are effective
Are we sure the Russian government knows were in the 21st century?
Maybe it says the year is 1922 there? 🤔
Reminded of a story a friend told me when he lived in Russia. he needed a washing machine asked his Russian counterpart what to buy. He told to buy this one. 3 weeks later it broke. he fixed it. He went to the Russian and asked why did you say this was a good buy. The response "Its easy to fix." That is an interesting mind set.
Imagine being shot as a Russian soldier...Looking at the holes in your "body armour," your last realization being what it truly means to be Russian
Literally Placebo armor.
@Kevin Smithwick Since February 23, the DPR and LPR have been fully mobilized its Nazi army and almost all men already died.
Now, when they became part of Ukraine.
The good thing is that the Ukrainians have shown their fighting spirit from the top down, and they know resistance to Nazi russian army
@Max Max No, DPR and the LPR not even exists. UN not recognized this terrorist failed states. This land belongs to Ukraine, and all countries in the world are supporting Ukraine in this war
@Max Max DPR and LPR is not exists. It is Ukraine now
@Max Max You say that like agreeing this is a proxy war is some kind of checkmate. Of course both sides in the war (pre-2022) were proxies.
Also second line Russian standards are still pretty low. The VDV were the only sizable pre-war force, that was reasonably equipped by western standards.
i understand russians, i also bought a gps system (garmin fenix6xPro and a mount) for my bicycle.
I’m second guessing if they even have nukes at this point 😂 they lied about everything else.
Wanna try to figure that out?
The most painful thing for them was their dramatic loss of the equipment they could get started. Equipment that will take them multiple decades to replace. In order to have enough to defend their territory in the event of a NATO conflict they would have to pull off a mass production miracle to replace current losses. As it currently stands they do not have enough equipment to defend against a serious invasion and would have to use tac nukes immediately. Not even a paper tiger more like a wet kleenex tiger now.
You can bet that if the war ended, and assuming Russia had cash or gas to pay, western politicians would be rushing to sell Russia the kit and technology to make money for their mates, at first excuse. not forgetting cheap help from China.
Thanks for a very enlightening video! I knew Russia was exagerating their capabilities but after that video, I think any country can invade Russia.
The real problem is that we know we're being lied to, but we can't do anything to it
@Trokgorny Ball There is an enormous difference between the two. The US military is modern, well-stocked, top tech, battle tested, repeatedly trained, etc. The US military is exponentially more lethal. Russia has always thrown their soldiers and civilians toward the fire as cannon fodder.
@Hero4fun I mean can you blame them? Look at how many idiots eat up Trump's BS and they have unlimited access to the internet unlike Russians. And they have been protesting. Difference is if they start showing up with weapons Putin wouldn't hesitate to have the army open fire on them all. The fact that they are protesting at all is impressive since they could get locked up for life and there's nothing stopping it from happening.
Russian are being lied to, but they should be able to do something about it if they all protest, but lots of them still belief kremlin's propaganda.
Get out of the propaganda is the first step, second the protest, third storm the corrupted government's place.
Time is money and russian government is wasting russian citizen money for their own benefit. Money that could have spent for easier life for russians. Too bad.
@TetraGames Team Ignorant people think that, but they don't matter. The people who do matter know what's going on and don't hate you for it. Because you can't even talk about the war in a negative way without getting locked up for it.
@IRISHgamerKAIN yes, you're correct. The Russia sucks because of Putin mostly. Sadly, a lot of people still hate us and say we could prevent all of this somehow 😕
