Hm, all is nice except that the most probably it was not S-300rocket (Ukrainian) due to how AA rockets work and no AA rocket has such explosive payload
But tbf, the Ukrainian S-300 "missing it's target" was a pretty sloppy gloss over. If it really was our missile, which is yet to be unilaterally confirmed, that only means that it hit it's russian target, which caused the debris to land in Poland. If you wanted a contrasting analogy so much - you could've just mentiond about us using "modified" Maxim and MG machineguns XD Just goes to show, how it's in everyones interests to end this Russian fiasco ASAP and arm Ukraine, without holding back for some madeup reasons.
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.
I would argue that if you can make yourself strong as well as projecting strength, you probably should go ahead and do so in case someone tests you. In this case, the reason their military is in terrible shape isn't necessarily because they didn't invest, it's because corruption devoured the military from the inside out. I think Putin's 'cleaning up' of his inner circle is evidence that while I'm sure he knew about his buddies, and I'm sure himself, dipping into the funds being allocated, he didn't realize just how bad it was. Corruption is so bad that even when they were being sent supplies to prepare for the invasion, the army was just selling the surplus off before it even arrived.
@@insertcognomen I expect the majority of the nukes would work. But those that don't work properly are a very big problem. Not that they will go off by a launch accident, nukes don't work like that, but the damage to launchers, the precious few that exist, will considerably deteriorate any kind of use of those nukes, deterrence or otherwise. Same for fixed launch sites, they are protected underground, but the siles might become unusable.
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)

@@antoniohagopian213 -Pretty uninformed comment if you are suggesting US military corruption is comparable to the Russian military’s level of corruption in any way…I’m not American and no fan of their military actions, but even I can see that.
My sister went to Russia a few years ago on some missionary work to help orphans get high tech hearing aids. She said every facet of Russia is corrupt. It's a way of life there. They had to pay a lot of people off and after they left, the people in charge of the orphans took their hearing aids and sold them after giving them less quality hearing aids to replace them.
look at teh corrupt elections here in the US, the democrat party getting funded by the fraud at FTX and Bernie Madoff, the 2008 collapse and bailout by tax payers, the same people that caused that are now running the corrupt US government. Look in the mirror its worse here. the Russians don't have 31 trillion in debt they are handing off to the next generations.
Corruption rots any country. They people of Russia should be the wealthiest on earth enjoying the longest life spans and long holidays anywhere in the world. They're not of course.

I served in the Russian army in 2001-2003, at the dawn of the Putin era, in the elite space forces. Theft flourished even then. During my service two multi-ton power transformers from the substation, eight traveling wave lamps of 250 kg each from an object cordoned off with barbed wire and an alarm system were stolen. Thousands of palladium capacitors were torn out of the equipment by the officers. Military trucks drove on worn tires, on which there was no tread left, even in winter in ice. A lot of military vehicles were faulty. Pistol shooting classes were held every two months, each officer fired 3 shots. There were no other combat training classes, but we marched a lot, learned to pull the leg and perform marching techniques. The 'eye-wash' flourished. Periodically, commissions came from Moscow, for which we put things in order, made different signs, filled out logbooks, colored a trees and curbs of asphalt paths and did other nonsense. But 20 years ago, at least they gave out a good military uniform to officers and soldiers and the food in the daily rations was not overdue. Service in the Russian army is a daily anecdotal stories. There is a saying in Russia: "those who served in the army don't laugh in the circus."

But I hate Putin and his regime since 2000, when the whole country was shoked the tragedy of the "Kursk" submarine, but Putin said with a grin on the American TV "she drowned." Whole year Putin is killing at least the several crews of the "Kursk" everyday. I am waiting and believe in the victory of Ukraine.
My Father served on a sub during cold war. They took lots of pics of soviet ships coming out of Murmansk. He laughed when people worried about the Soviet Bear. He said they were all rust buckets that bearly ran. He also said it was US propaganda to say the Soviets were a threat. No threat. No money for our war machine.
The wooden explosive block really got me in the feels. Imagine some hero for his nation creeping up to some enemy installation, knowing his capture or death was pretty much inevitable, planting this device that could swing the course of the conflict, and then the timer gets to zero and nothing happens. Dudes must be gutted.

The Russians lie so much about the capabilities of their kit, they assumed that NATO was lying about their stuff too, and got a hell of a surprise when the Ukrainians started getting NATO level kit. Oh, and the video claiming the Russian military is the 2nd best military in the world? It's not even the 2nd best military in Ukraine!
The Russian military isn't even the 2nd best military in Russia (wagner coup, recent Ukrainian invasion)... 2020: Russian military 2nd best in the world! 💪 2022: Russian military 2nd best in Ukraine.🤕 2024: Russian military 2nd best in Russia. 🤣
That's the sniper version with a scope. It fires a more powerful cartridge than the AK. It is capable of hitting a man sized target at over 800 meters. Do not underestimate it.
Remember all the Russophiles back at the beginning of the war and before the war talking about how the Russian military was really better than the US military, with better equipment, leadership, etc? I wonder where they are now, they were so sure of their opinions, it seems strange they don't share them anymore. I'd love to hear them talk about the fleet of SU-57s or waves of T-14 Armatas that would overwhelm NATO in any conflict!

I hope he can explain how more than 300k ukrainians died for nothing and all of this was easily evitable.
I will write through a translator, so I apologize in advance. I served in compulsory military service a year before the attack on Ukraine. While serving in the Russian army, I personally saw how bad everything is. In this army, they are constantly stealing. Literally everything is being stolen - fuel for machinery, parts for machinery and the same dry rations that were in the video.
So what's the deal with the war crimes? I'm talking about some sick torture and rape. Is that regular Russian army? Are the COs holding a gun to your heads making you do this or is this the Wagner group and his crazy convicts? because 55,500+ war crimes is fucking insane amount of evil for just one battalion. And why are they killing civilians? I have never heard of such crimes except in Africa's Congo and under Hitler. The only evidence of Nazi like behavior have ever been found in countries where Russia went, in the 50 + years I've been alive and in the Congo.
The RuSSians are pooping their pants at the thought of what is in store for them and their third world military if their mad Führer provokes a war with NATO. Oh sorry, I meant a "special military operation", not war! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Literally how it went lol. Now they're larping because Ukrainians won't overthrow "Zelenskyy's regime" even though they have a TOTAL of 8 hours without electricity per day. Seems like it's their last hope lmao.
Well Republicans are on Putin's side so it's not over yet. Russia has focused on perception since the cold war. They didn't care who died because of Chernobyl. They cared who knew about it. They didn't care about flaws, they cared about hiding it. That was the most important thing, hiding weakness because they thought that's what everyone else was doing. Republicans are doing the same because they don't know how to fix shit so they are now going pro Russia
Lazerpig also has several videos about this topic, my favourite being "what sunk the Moskva" where he goes in detail about how great the ship should've been, and then reads out an alledgedly leaked readiness report. Let me quote this part directly from that video. "Out of the three-tier anti-missile systems in place, none of the actual systems were working at the time he was struck the short-range sea to air launchers did not work and the flanex last resort missile interception of which the ship has six, only one worked, the rest were being used for spare parts this left the s-300 anti-air systems which could theoretically protect the ship, however the radar system they were linked to interfered with the communications system and thus was turned off but even when turned on, the system apparently had difficulty locking on to targets and that twin-linked 130mm cannon that could be used as a backup to the CIWS system? yeah that also didn't work, hydraulics leak apparently. and all the damage control systems, yeah none of those worked either. several other watertight doors were found to be leaking, some were wedged open. out of the 500 fire extinguishers that were supposed to be on board the ship only had 50 and due to constant theft the safety equipment was locked in storage of which only the admiral had the key to meaning in order to try and save the ship the crew would first have to try and break open the lockers the safety equipment was in it gets worse several of the engines were past their service replacement date by about 10 000 hours, they could only be turned on and run by express permission from the admiral meaning the ship was locked in at about half speed, but only for emergencies the vast majority of the control systems were non-operable or simply did not have a functioning indicator light meaning that if there was a problem no one on the bridge would know about it the ship's generators were all quickly approaching their maximum service life and would appear to work at random. the steering gear was also partially jammed and the ship could only perform a 20 degree turn and the entire ship had heating and cooling issues. Had the Moskva been a US ship and been found in this state the captain would have been court-martialled"
@@eliasziad7864 Sure... 50 years old does come with its issues... but you gotta maintain your stuff. The Iowa class battleships did fine shelling iraq, they were 50 years old too. Fully combat ready with CIWS and missile launchers. Good maintenance is key, but in the corrupt world of russian officers that didn't happen
I will say this. I love lazerpig, but, and this is a big but, he was rather quick to take that document as the real thing. Until I get confirmation that this is a legitimate document of the russian navy, I'm going to hold my doubts on it. But something clearly went wrong with the ship for 2 missiles to have connected.
@@eliasziad7864 the Moskva is only around 40 years old and received a refit in 2016 which expected to extend the ships life expectancy of the ship to 2040.
When I was on deployment, we had entire connex boxes full of current-issue gear that nobody was using because the unit just kind of "forgot" about it. Stacks of new ESAPI armor plates as tall as me, 6x6ft boxes of rifle magazines still in the plastic wrap, CBRNE gear, and other kit. At least the US military has the exact opposite problem.

I grabbed SO many Cliff bars and whole crates of Rip-its.
Respect. Bagram 2010-11, 2017-18. I saw lots of old Soviet equipment left behind, bunkers built by the Russians. I worked in a sturdy old earthquake-proof building built by the Soviets. You could tell what buildings were from the Soviet occupation. We brought connexes and built pre-fab structures.
I remember when the Russian army left East Germany, their soldiers cried ugly tears because their new barracks somewhere in Russia were expected to be much worse than the rat-infested molding damp holes they hat built and operated in East Germany. Most of the barracks had to be torn down after the Russians left… Russia never treated their soldiers well.
Russia's always looked at it's vast manpower as a resource not unlike weapons and machinery. If you have a million artillery shells, you launch 'em . . . you don't think about trying to conserve them. The same thinking applies to their supplies of of "inexhaustible" soldiers. WW2 was a classic example of this. The brutal difference is that no one grieves a dead tank.
The worst offense in this war, and the biggest sign of Russian military failure is the sinking of the Moskva. Actual leaked Russian documents showed the ships’ radar systems and projectile defense systems weren’t maintained properly, yet it was still sent forth into battle after being passed through inspection. If their flagship can’t be properly maintained, than what would be?
the infamy of losing a flagship in a ground war they started against a nation that doesn't even have a navy will scar russia's reputation for centuries to come. Zelenski's best joke imo.
@@vothbetilia4862I don’t think it’s so much the gun itself as much as the fact that the gun was and continues to be in short supply. Russia doesn’t have the industrial capacity it once had. There is a reason why they are forced to reply on old Cold War equipment and that’s because they don’t have the industrial capacity to produce all the new, fancy, high tech equipment. They can make as many advanced designs as they want, maybe even develop fully working prototypes, but if you can’t mass produce them. Then that fancy technology don’t mean shit.
Reminds me of the quote from the HBO Chernobyl tv show: "When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is, still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid"
So in the end they will have to tell us that Ukrainian government and military is infected by neonazis which are just stupid but useful idiots who are being used by USA and this war is not about freedom and democracy because that never existed in Ukraine ever but it is just a good business for USA military corporate and other ruthless filthy murderers who profit from this war and don't care how many Ukrainians die and how many Russians die. Also they will finally explain why Ukraine is not fighting for Moscow now already when it is exceptionally equipped also when it has 1 mil army and Russians has just around 300k army equipped with wodden fake AK's, eating dogs, so no food, no water, no fuel, no ammo, no rockets, instead of bullet proof west they have foam, massive desertion, massive giving up out of lack of interest for fighting and the only one soldier Russian soldier (probably insane Putin believer) remaining in Ukraine can only take out dildo out of his rapist ration package(UK mass media informed public that Russians are equipped with dildos :D like really :D it was not a joke :D) and rape Ukrainian babushkas :DDD at least if I want to eat shit by the tons I know what channel on UA-cam to watch :DDD BTW the footage of Orlan's insides is total Ukrainian fake :D Just watch other videos of downed Orlans and you will see that Orlan is equipped with very good recon camera systems.

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.
My dad was in soviet army, all I can say is it wasn't maintained then, now it probably is worse. He had to drive a rocket carrier truck once a year just to see if it's running, a f-ing rocket carrier with 2 cabins. His jeep wasn't better either , if it broke down he didn't get new parts, he had to take them from another jeep that is sitting by side and is not used currently
@@jimmybayconn thats a big assumption, I think most nato states has the same fate because after the cold war most nato countries cut their defense budgets, only the US didnt.

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)
is it any good for mountain biking? l crashed and broke mine earlier this year, cost me £30 to replace, must be about the same cost as that russian one and about as much use for deflecting high velocity rounds.
@@philldavies7940 No helmet is used to deflect any type of small arms fire. Its like a construction helmet that protects against debris that may injure you, but military helmets also protect against shrapnel from explosions or from bullets hitting the wall which can send fragments of concrete towards your head. A helmet that could protect you from even a .45 caliber round would be way too heavy and unwieldly.
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.
@@maximedaunis8292 It's hard to talk about the opinion of the whole population. But in my environment, for the most part, the Wagner group is treated very badly.

On the other hand, a large part of the population, exposed to propaganda, supports this criminal organization. P.S. I use an online translator. The translation may not be accurate.

@@Morelze Thanks for responding, your translation is clear i think. Until now i had almost never heard of Wagner group or any mercenaries' group, i found it shocking that one such group would have as much "power" as they have.

That said it's also very disrespectful for their victims and their families in Russia i think. I hope you're ok and this doesn't get any worse for all sides involved.
My dad was part of the air force and the only thing he ever told me about his job...Just be cause some branch of the military gives you "facts and numbers" does not mean they are true...and that was during Desert Storm in the 90s
As a veteran soldier. It made me sick to the stomach the lies in equipment and support I just watched you prove the Russian millitary is doing. No one can blame a soldier for performing thier duty for thier country. But if I were a Russian soldier... I'd get a new country. I only hope the Russian people will rise up once again as they did against the Soviets. To change the coruption, the greed and the idiocy. A free and democratic Russia would be a beatiful place to be.
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.

The Mosin-Nagant case is a stupid one. Firstly, designed in 1891 does not mean it is manufatured in 19th century. As a sniper rifer, it has been re-designed and produced in late 20th century, you probably noticed that the model used in the video is not the same length of the 1891 version. Second, the Sniper rifel usually uses a bolt-action manual model, because auto-machine will decrease the stability of gun sight.
If you guys were to serve in the Russian MoD you'd see it as a joke not very far from truth. Many military bases even lack cleaning equipment due to servicemen, WO and officers not being interested in units comprised majorly of draftees. Also there's common theft, corruption and twisted bureaucracy that're slowing the cogs the former two having been reduced in the past 20 years, the US destroyed Russian economy thus military after all and did that well by also introducing the same constitution Weimar once had. You probably hear it for the first time but it even said that international laws took priority over national which is dumbfounding to anyone with IQ score >120 and looks more as if a winner would enforce their demands upon a loser, guys Russia isn't as bad as you think
And I think it's good that some developments are finally taking place. And it's also caused me some brain damage to hear "developed" country citizens who have never been to anywhere speak confidently about real state of business in any country. Guys people like this don't know any better than you stop listening to the BS online
It's a very Russian way of thinking. If you've spent time in Russia or ex-Soviet countries, you see this first-hand. And it's not just the military. It's everything. Industry, machines, everything is made so that it looks great in theory but often stays together with hope and duct tape. If you're working on a farm with a tractor and it breaks down and needs a spare part, you're likely to have to go and scavenge one from another tractor that's even more broken down, but hopefully has a working part that you need. That's just how it's done.

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.
I can't believe that after seeing their incredibly abysmal record, there are people out there who stay convinced that Russia will "invade Europe" next.

This is one of the best examples why fighting corruption is so important. Without it they woudn't have started a war in Ukraine. In a way it was not unexpected taking in consideration how difficult it was for them during the wars in Chechnya.
Ukraine is extremely corruptive country. The US is global leader in systemic corruption of elites. Put together these two and you get minus 100 BN (or more) in the US budget without any real benefit for people. What a BS !
@@crazyafghan5353 I think it's probably 10-20%, the rest get's in the so called businessmen's private accounts. It's the legacy of communism because in almoust all ex-communist nations leaders have the bad habbit of stealing as much as they can without thinking about the consecvences.
That is why Democracy tends to work better than autocracy. The more or less frequent change of who is ultimately in charge naturally limits (high level) corruption. Conversely democracies which keep one party in power for a number of governments have a much higher rate of corruption than democracies which regularly change the party in charge and/or ones with coalition governments.
I really believe Zelensky's defiance played a major role in the morale of the Ukrainian people. Its the reason they've been able to hold the line, get back up and counterattack. Had he just fled, his people would've felt abandoned
To be completely honest, in Ukraine people had (and have) not so much trust in government and presidents in particular, but in last 8 years especially - the topmost trust and respect goes to military, names like general Zaluzhny and others are the ones that bring people confidence. It's fair to say that it was a nice gesture from the President at that moment, but that helped to morale, but I'd not say it was the crucial one. People are fighting not for the damn president - we have a democracy - in a few years - there'd be another one. They are fighting because they know - behind their back - their families, kids, parents, friends. And that makes a grand difference. In 8 years we've seen what it means if Russian military is coming your way. It's not just change of a government (although that we don't want as well) - but it also means murders, raping, violence. Thus people united - even those who're not on the front lines are backing them up with equipment, cars, clothes, or any other possible means of support.
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.

But that's the beauty of it. Think of it this way; Putin gets it in his head and then summons his four top Generals, the order is given. The generals all look at each other, knowing full well, each of them has been skimming 24.5% of that Military fund for the last twenty years... They'll make do, it's a Russian strength.
From what I understand of the situation, Putin expected Ukraine to surrender within weeks, if not days. According to his delusions, Kiev should've been taken after the first push towards it, and Ukraine would have surrendered. No need to account for long-term war supplies. In addition, there's very high corruption within the Russian military: soldiers, both low and high ranking generals and officials lie about equipment and troop capabilities all the time.
@@tallemajas that's true the worst part the russian generals had to have known at some point down the line war was likely. So eventually it would all show.
They have tons of Soviet leftovers, my guess is they using old equipment as they don't need the modern one, and the Soviet equipment is old and will be going wasted anyway if they don't use it now

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.
I was working with a company that designs and manufactures industrial machines. They send out a few guys who know the machine inside and out, but the rest off the workforce usually comes from a third company. This guy said that they had an order from russia, and the people who worked for him building the machines were a bunch of old guys and ladies working in the factory.
In the Chernobyl miniseries, Gorbachev (uncharacteristically) said “Our power comes from the perception of our power”. After seeing how this war has gone for Russia, that line is really starting to ring true. I was wholly expecting them to steamroll Ukraine, instead they’re enduring the exact opposite. Incredible. The Soviet Union may have dissolved, but Russia is still Russia. Just like the Kursk disaster they fumbled back in 2000s.
You could get a glimpse of their modus operandi by watching Syria, Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine from 2014. Watch how they liberated the school in Bieslan or the Moscow theatre.
@Mister RON! The Kursk submarine was rammed by USS Toledo (SSN-769) and sank because of the following explosion of one of its Type 65-76 torpedoes. As much as I hate Putin's regime for its blatant corruption, genocide of Russian people and this cursed war, that particular case is the fault of the USA.
@@marluxia8832 Regardless who is at fault for the incident itself, the Russian Navy and government absolutely botched the rescue/recovery of the sailors and salvage of the vessel. Despite the fate the sailors eventually met with, Russia could have done much better in its response.
Russia isn't losing. They are destroying the Ukrainian army and country. Russia doesn't care if we expected them to 'steamroll' the coutnry. They are moving carefully, dominating the battlefield with artillery to avoid as many casualties as possible, whilst inflicting as many casualties as possible. Large Manuver Warfare is very costly in Russian soldiers' lives. Incremental grinding down of your opponent is not. Russia is pulverizing Ukraine's army , and Zelensky is helping them do it by marching more and more men into zones of fire that Ukraine is going to lose anyway. It is a slaughter.

The reactive armor was removed after capture by Ukrainians and the rubber plates are only spacers for contact5. I’m pro ukraine myself because my mom is from there but some things are just over exaggerated
@@dominiksoukal bruh there are analyses on the internet about this specific issue. The argument was that ukraine needs ERA Plates for their own tanks. That’s why they took all of them off of captured tanks, that aren’t serviceable. Btw on this specific tank, also the gunners sights are missing together with some other important stuff. Without wich even the Russian wouldn’t send tanks into battle
Russia is paranoid of spies, so utilizing fax machines, which are pretty hard to spy through and intercept messages to and from, then using them makes a lot of sense for Russia. It's the same reason why Putin have that many dial up, wired phones next to him. If anything manages to intercept the lines, then you can just cut them and route new lines with new encryptions. That's a bit harder to do with more complex technology.
The British Army has a basic philosophy KISS Keep It Simple Stupid when all the modern tech goes down the simple stuff still works, Fax machines can work independently, all armies and systems have more basic back up systems, the simpler the better. Older systems can keep functions going, even an old Mosin Nagant rifle will still kill at a long range ,improvise, adapt, overcome is also a basic and easier with older kit.
@@chrisdelaplante5515 is because ukraine was not preparing for war and has internal political problems but since Russia took over their land back in 2014 it united them in a big way.

When I was in the USAF from 1984-2007 we were taught that the Soviet/Russian military considers NOTHING is obsolete and they stowed warehouse after warehouse of old equipment ïn case they need it" So when we are talking about their national guard troops being issued the Mosin Nagant rifles.. It fitś
Having fired a Mosin Nagant, i can tell you it might be old but it is a beautiful accurate long range weapon, and even old weapons can kill. People laugh at the Russians with their shovels, they are excellent tools and weapons too, if you are hit with one it is no laughing matter, i would carry one any day. I am a Brit.
Highly recommend Perun and his video detailing the corruption problems. Corruption isn't just how the military works; that'd be a straightforward fix. This is how Russia works. From the local level, to the national level, to the private sector and so on. Also, it's why Britney Griner is an idiot for not bribing the guards immediately. They probably expected a bribe to let her go. If a cop pulls you over in Russia a bribe is expected
> If a cop pulls you over in Russia a bribe is expected Not always. We got some good cops here. But yeah, if for you 200-300$ is nothing, then you can try to bribe them, because it's like a monthly salary.
So true, along with lazerpig video on thr Moskava also mentioning corruption in Russia. That 1.5 million uniforms? Maybe they had that 10 years ago, but sold most of it and said "oh we still have 1.5 mil" Very scary for any reason in the end.
@@pancholopez8829 eh, lazerpig doesn't do as much research and doesn't really check the sources of the documents he uses. For example the maintenance report he mentions in the moskva video is of dubious origin, something that perun pointed out in his video.

@@SueDohman Russia knows what shortcomings exist in the United States. And many intellectuals even began to use the expression "Russia and the United States are brothers for a century" to emphasize that no matter how great a country seems, inside it can be very rotten.
To be fair, the Mosin Nagant is definitely not a bad rifle! And only for the record : Ukraine also uses WW1 weapons, the Maxim Machinegun for example (upgraded with Holosun reddots 😅)
Yes but the thing is that one is the military of a small and poor nation and the other one is what everyone believed to be the second strongest military in the world that could beat NATO in western Europe. Western European NATO soldiers would piss their pants laughing at the Russian military "might"
This is exactly why I distrust most of these youtube videos. Cause it is obvious that they're equally filled with propaganda also. Yes we know Russia is an extremely corrupt country, and their equipment is definitely no where as capable as the US... like they have been under sanctions for like the past 80 years, which means it really hard for them to get equipment and supplies. A budget of 100 Billion for the military annually isn't that much especially when you look at the US's own military spending, like how much equipment, missiles, planes, ships, let alone the personnel and administrative cost per unit. But a lot of the footage shown as evidence of Russian incompetence is and lies seem just like dishonest western propaganda. Like for instance pointing out the Russia is arming troops with Mosin Nagants, as if the Mosin Nagant wasn't upgraded and manufactured till 1950s. Russians obviously aren't arming their soldiers with 130 year old weapons as this video tries to imply. Not to mention many other countries still arm their troops with weapons designed 70-100 years ago. The US still has in service things like M1919 browning machine guns. 1911 pistols are still highly valued around the world cause they are simply well designed weapons that last through the test of time. Germany and many other countries still use MG-42's or rather what they call MG 3s. Not to mention I like how they act like Ukraine was better prepared and armed than Russia was all along... which it obviously wasn't. The Ukrainian military was even in worse condition, the only reason why Ukraine is doing so well is due to the US and NATO supply them huge amount of equipment. As soon as the US and NATO withdraws financial aid and support Ukraine will probably collapse logistically exactly the same way South Vietnam did. Where you have highly trained and motivated military (unlike Afghanistan where moral was low and leadership was a house of cards), but they have no means of producing vital war supplies like ammo, spare parts, fuel, and other ordnance (like missiles, artillery shells, etc). The clip of the fake armor plates being shot by a Ukrainian soldier... how do we know that wasn't staged? Where they just took a Russian plate carrier and took some random plates and falsely claimed that was what was in it? Or the clip of all the abandoned equipment at the edge of the river... the helmets, clothes, and grenades... how do we know the Ukranians didn't just take some previously captured uniforms and just lay them out for a photo op. Or a block of wood instead of explosives... Or the clip with the tank having just rubber instead of explosives where the reactive armor is suppose to be, how do we know that they didn't tamper with the block before hand. A lot of channels like this, Real Life Lore, William Spaniel, etc... all have a very heavy bias and losing credibility recently... where somehow everything is a problem for Russia only, but not a problem for the Ukrainians. For instance somehow supply issues over rivers and bad and an endless ever expanding front is an issue for Russia, but somehow the same thing doesn't apply to the Ukranians. You can't tell me in like 40 minute videos that all the roads were bombed to hell and back, or they were hard to pass due to all the rain and mud, rivers and bridges acting as bottlenecks for the Russians, then the next week act like those aren't issues for the advancing Ukrainians.
- "comrades we are the second best army in the world, youre going to take ukrain in a few weeks" - "sir this AK is 70 years old" - "ah yes a clasic one comrrade"
That's the paradox of the Kalashnikov system. It's definitely need to be upgraded to the nowadays tasks, but still very good for the most types of military service

6:10 The Finnish Mosin nagant is one of two rifle at 9-hole reviews to have reached 1000 yards with iron sights alone, so a scoped Mosin for DMR-stuff isn't quite as outdated as portrayed.
No not necessarily, but that assumes that the soldiers issued with Nagants are actually 1) intended for the DMR role, and 2) have received adequate training. And as @Vik Karabin pointed out, there's no knowing the quality and state of those rifles, especially after potentially many years in stock. It seems more likely to me that they've just been given them because there was nothing else to give.
I would imagine these bolt action rifles were not issued to front line assault troops. I also imagine them as a supplement to say AK--47 which have a range of only about 300m.
Yep an A.R. 15 can go through most body armor as well especially if you have a black tip but the difference is an A.R. 15 can hold 30 rounds and that gun can hold one

This is by far the best video I have seen from you! You showed nothing but facts and a ton of information that I was unaware of, like how deep the corruption actually flows through Russia. Proved everything you said ! Great job, I was expecting to hear everything I already had and was assuming your just late on making the same type of video everyone else has. But that was not the case! It certainly was Not What I Thought!
the bit about Ukrainian missiles striking Poland isn't a "fact" as it hasn't been confirmed to be Ukranian. In fact, it's most likely Russian but the west doesn't want to antagonize Poo-tin. Even if the missiles were Ukranian, the way it's presented in this video is inaccurate. Russian missiles "returning to home" are ones that were supposed to be set up to specifically target a different area. The missiles that struck Poland, IF they were Ukranian, were almost certainly fired from a SAM system in an attempt to destroy Russian cruise missiles, then missed and kept flying into Poland. The reason we know this most likely isn't the case is that Ukranian SAM systems are configured to blow themselves up if they miss the target to avoid this exact situation.
I can't believe I spent 24 years in the Army training and preparing to fight against the Soviet Union/Russia. All I heard was how big, and fierce the Soviet war machine was, and how they were going to take over Europe and USAEUR troops would be overrun in hours. I actually feel sorry for those young Russian soldiers that get conscripted into Ukraine basically to die.
I recently watched a Wagner video basically showing the criminal conscripts being forced to charge into enemy front lines. It appears that some of them weren't even carrying weapons. A recent Wagner escapee said that even if they completed their 6 month tour, rather than having to pay them the money they were promised, they were being executed on the orders of Wagner owners. Since the fall of the Soviet union, corruption has been rampant within the military and government, with everyone lining their pockets at the expense of the Russian people. Russia has such mineral and cultural wealth they could be a legitimate world superpower if not for all the corruption.
Sounds like you were lied to, twice. Once when you were told that Russia was a threat to Europe. Then again when you are told that Russia is incapable of fighting a legitimate combined arms war. its as if your country tells you two very different lies when it suits them to do so. So you will support US hegemony.
Russia in its entire history did not have colonies and slaves. Even Alaska was annexed to Russia on an equal footing, which cannot be said for Europe, the Anglo-Saxons and the United States.
Most of those poor Russian kids don't want to be fighting this d*** war. It's sad that they're put on the front lines without proper equipment. Cancel terrible for them. I have 2 tours in Iraq. We had just about everything we needed. Kids are being killed for nothing man. It's disgusting

Unfortunately most only see lies when they have chosen a side they disagree with. When in fact you are being blinded with lies from everywhere including the side they agree with. That common saying "Don't trust anyone!" Has never been more important than in today's age. The Western media are on par with Russian propaganda. What does not fit a certain viewpoint is now seen as misinformation or hate speech and removed from public access so all you see is what they want you to see. Basic history is not being told correctly by the west especially as to why Russia has gone to war. NATO expansion east and Russia's warning throughout the years are almost unheard, When the Bill Clinton’s administration proposed former Warsaw Pact members Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary to join in 1998 was the 1st step of the beginning of this war and the US and NATO have just kept pushing. Putin said Ukraine was the red line for years. NATO still pushed...... Feel for the Ukraine people, they have been played by both sides. No love here for Putin, no love here for NATO or US foreign Policy. Much Love to the Blind and those that are not fooled.
14:50 Explosive charges with wood? I know what these are!!! I did demolition training in the Spanish army (field artillery). These charges are meant for training and come in normalized sizes, I think this is a 250g pack. The reason is that TNT does not just explode as in the movies, it explodes "by sympathy", it needs a fuse and an initiator charge, which is a smaller charge (50 or 25g, can't recall) and you have to put together the bigger charges adding smaller ones together until you get the desired weight of TNT. These wooden blocks are to train how to set these up, add the fuse and the cable, etc... Once you learn how to safely set up a charge you get the opportunity of the real deal (which is amazing!!!) So, these Mobiks got freakin' training charges!!! OMFG!!! Well, at least they can use them for heating.

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.
I would argue that if you can make yourself strong as well as projecting strength, you probably should go ahead and do so in case someone tests you. In this case, the reason their military is in terrible shape isn't necessarily because they didn't invest, it's because corruption devoured the military from the inside out.
I think Putin's 'cleaning up' of his inner circle is evidence that while I'm sure he knew about his buddies, and I'm sure himself, dipping into the funds being allocated, he didn't realize just how bad it was. Corruption is so bad that even when they were being sent supplies to prepare for the invasion, the army was just selling the surplus off before it even arrived.

I served in the Russian army in 2001-2003, at the dawn of the Putin era, in the elite space forces. Theft flourished even then. During my service two multi-ton power transformers from the substation, eight traveling wave lamps of 250 kg each from an object cordoned off with barbed wire and an alarm system were stolen. Thousands of palladium capacitors were torn out of the equipment by the officers. Military trucks drove on worn tires, on which there was no tread left, even in winter in ice. A lot of military vehicles were faulty. Pistol shooting classes were held every two months, each officer fired 3 shots. There were no other combat training classes, but we marched a lot, learned to pull the leg and perform marching techniques. The 'eye-wash' flourished. Periodically, commissions came from Moscow, for which we put things in order, made different signs, filled out logbooks, colored a trees and curbs of asphalt paths and did other nonsense.
But 20 years ago, at least they gave out a good military uniform to officers and soldiers and the food in the daily rations was not overdue.
Service in the Russian army is a daily anecdotal stories. There is a saying in Russia: "those who served in the army don't laugh in the circus."

Lazerpig also has several videos about this topic, my favourite being "what sunk the Moskva" where he goes in detail about how great the ship should've been, and then reads out an alledgedly leaked readiness report. Let me quote this part directly from that video.
"Out of the three-tier anti-missile systems in place, none of the actual systems were working at the time he was struck
the short-range sea to air launchers did not work and the flanex last resort missile interception of which the ship has six, only one worked, the rest were being used for spare parts
this left the s-300 anti-air systems which could theoretically protect the ship, however the radar system they were linked to interfered with the communications system and thus was turned off
but even when turned on, the system apparently had difficulty locking on to targets
and that twin-linked 130mm cannon that could be used as a backup to the CIWS system? yeah that also didn't work, hydraulics leak apparently.
and all the damage control systems, yeah none of those worked either. several other watertight doors were found to be leaking, some were wedged open.
out of the 500 fire extinguishers that were supposed to be on board the ship only had 50
and due to constant theft the safety equipment was locked in storage of which only the admiral had the key to
meaning in order to try and save the ship the crew would first have to try and break open the lockers the safety equipment was in
it gets worse
several of the engines were past their service replacement date by about 10 000 hours, they could only be turned on and run by express permission from the admiral meaning the ship was locked in at about half speed, but only for emergencies
the vast majority of the control systems were non-operable or simply did not have a functioning indicator light meaning that if there was a problem no one on the bridge would know about it the ship's generators were all quickly approaching their maximum service life and would appear to work at random.
the steering gear was also partially jammed and the ship could only perform a 20 degree turn and the entire ship had heating and cooling issues.
Had the Moskva been a US ship and been found in this state the captain would have been court-martialled"
Moskva was also very old, 50 years old.
@@eliasziad7864 Sure... 50 years old does come with its issues... but you gotta maintain your stuff. The Iowa class battleships did fine shelling iraq, they were 50 years old too.

If you have a million artillery shells, you launch 'em . . . you don't think about trying to conserve them. The same thinking applies to their supplies of of "inexhaustible" soldiers. WW2 was a classic example of this. The brutal difference is that no one grieves a dead tank.

The worst offense in this war, and the biggest sign of Russian military failure is the sinking of the Moskva. Actual leaked Russian documents showed the ships’ radar systems and projectile defense systems weren’t maintained properly, yet it was still sent forth into battle after being passed through inspection. If their flagship can’t be properly maintained, than what would be?
It comes back to what the Kremlin was expecting. They wanted to win a fake war with a fake army. It just so happened the war turned out to be real.

Russia doesn’t have the industrial capacity it once had.

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.
hi
and russia lacked all these things. im willing to bet that a the majority of nato equipment in storage is well maintained and works when needed
My dad was in soviet army, all I can say is it wasn't maintained then, now it probably is worse. He had to drive a rocket carrier truck once a year just to see if it's running, a f-ing rocket carrier with 2 cabins. His jeep wasn't better either , if it broke down he didn't get new parts, he had to take them from another jeep that is sitting by side and is not used currently
@@jimmybayconn thats a big assumption, I think most nato states has the same fate because after the cold war most nato countries cut their defense budgets, only the US didnt.

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)
While you're right, the main purpose of a helmet isn't to stop bullets, but protect from fragments, falling debris, and ricochets.

The Mosin-Nagant case is a stupid one. Firstly, designed in 1891 does not mean it is manufatured in 19th century. As a sniper rifer, it has been re-designed and produced in late 20th century, you probably noticed that the model used in the video is not the same length of the 1891 version. Second, the Sniper rifel usually uses a bolt-action manual model, because auto-machine will decrease the stability of gun sight.

If you guys were to serve in the Russian MoD you'd see it as a joke not very far from truth.

It's a very Russian way of thinking. If you've spent time in Russia or ex-Soviet countries, you see this first-hand. And it's not just the military. It's everything. Industry, machines, everything is made so that it looks great in theory but often stays together with hope and duct tape. If you're working on a farm with a tractor and it breaks down and needs a spare part, you're likely to have to go and scavenge one from another tractor that's even more broken down, but hopefully has a working part that you need. That's just how it's done.

😳 Never heard a retarded thing like that before…
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.

That is why Democracy tends to work better than autocracy. The more or less frequent change of who is ultimately in charge naturally limits (high level) corruption. Conversely democracies which keep one party in power for a number of governments have a much higher rate of corruption than democracies which regularly change the party in charge and/or ones with coalition governments.
I really believe Zelensky's defiance played a major role in the morale of the Ukrainian people. Its the reason they've been able to hold the line, get back up and counterattack. Had he just fled, his people would've felt abandoned
He is a brave actor at least.
To be completely honest, in Ukraine people had (and have) not so much trust in government and presidents in particular, but in last 8 years especially - the topmost trust and respect goes to military, names like general Zaluzhny and others are the ones that bring people confidence.
It's fair to say that it was a nice gesture from the President at that moment, but that helped to morale, but I'd not say it was the crucial one. People are fighting not for the damn president - we have a democracy - in a few years - there'd be another one.
They are fighting because they know - behind their back - their families, kids, parents, friends. And that makes a grand difference.
In 8 years we've seen what it means if Russian military is coming your way. It's not just change of a government (although that we don't want as well) - but it also means murders, raping, violence.
Thus people united - even those who're not on the front lines are backing them up with equipment, cars, clothes, or any other possible means of support.

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.

But that's the beauty of it. Think of it this way; Putin gets it in his head and then summons his four top Generals, the order is given. The generals all look at each other, knowing full well, each of them has been skimming 24.5% of that Military fund for the last twenty years... They'll make do, it's a Russian strength.
From what I understand of the situation, Putin expected Ukraine to surrender within weeks, if not days. According to his delusions, Kiev should've been taken after the first push towards it, and Ukraine would have surrendered. No need to account for long-term war supplies. In addition, there's very high corruption within the Russian military: soldiers, both low and high ranking generals and officials lie about equipment and troop capabilities all the time.
@@tallemajas that's true the worst part the russian generals had to have known at some point down the line war was likely. So eventually it would all show.

They are moving carefully, dominating the battlefield with artillery to avoid as many casualties as possible, whilst inflicting as many casualties as possible.

You know Putin literally said “Our military is strong and capable and modern” when the dude was literally sitting right next to a fax machine.
Imagine now how Ukrainian army sucks when you know that this poor russian army was able to take Crimea and Donbass !
Russia is paranoid of spies, so utilizing fax machines, which are pretty hard to spy through and intercept messages to and from, then using them makes a lot of sense for Russia. It's the same reason why Putin have that many dial up, wired phones next to him. If anything manages to intercept the lines, then you can just cut them and route new lines with new encryptions. That's a bit harder to do with more complex technology.
The British Army has a basic philosophy KISS Keep It Simple Stupid when all the modern tech goes down the simple stuff still works, Fax machines can work independently, all armies and systems have more basic back up systems, the simpler the better. Older systems can keep functions going, even an old Mosin Nagant rifle will still kill at a long range ,improvise, adapt, overcome is also a basic and easier with older kit.

Out of necessity,,,, After all they never claimed to be a top military second only to the US.
Yes but the thing is that one is the military of a small and poor nation and the other one is what everyone believed to be the second strongest military in the world that could beat NATO in western Europe.
Western European NATO soldiers would piss their pants laughing at the Russian military "might"
This is exactly why I distrust most of these youtube videos. Cause it is obvious that they're equally filled with propaganda also. Yes we know Russia is an extremely corrupt country, and their equipment is definitely no where as capable as the US... like they have been under sanctions for like the past 80 years, which means it really hard for them to get equipment and supplies. A budget of 100 Billion for the military annually isn't that much especially when you look at the US's own military spending, like how much equipment, missiles, planes, ships, let alone the personnel and administrative cost per unit.
But a lot of the footage shown as evidence of Russian incompetence is and lies seem just like dishonest western propaganda. Like for instance pointing out the Russia is arming troops with Mosin Nagants, as if the Mosin Nagant wasn't upgraded and manufactured till 1950s. Russians obviously aren't arming their soldiers with 130 year old weapons as this video tries to imply. Not to mention many other countries still arm their troops with weapons designed 70-100 years ago. The US still has in service things like M1919 browning machine guns. 1911 pistols are still highly valued around the world cause they are simply well designed weapons that last through the test of time. Germany and many other countries still use MG-42's or rather what they call MG 3s. Not to mention I like how they act like Ukraine was better prepared and armed than Russia was all along... which it obviously wasn't. The Ukrainian military was even in worse condition, the only reason why Ukraine is doing so well is due to the US and NATO supply them huge amount of equipment. As soon as the US and NATO withdraws financial aid and support Ukraine will probably collapse logistically exactly the same way South Vietnam did. Where you have highly trained and motivated military (unlike Afghanistan where moral was low and leadership was a house of cards), but they have no means of producing vital war supplies like ammo, spare parts, fuel, and other ordnance (like missiles, artillery shells, etc).
The clip of the fake armor plates being shot by a Ukrainian soldier... how do we know that wasn't staged? Where they just took a Russian plate carrier and took some random plates and falsely claimed that was what was in it? Or the clip of all the abandoned equipment at the edge of the river... the helmets, clothes, and grenades... how do we know the Ukranians didn't just take some previously captured uniforms and just lay them out for a photo op. Or a block of wood instead of explosives... Or the clip with the tank having just rubber instead of explosives where the reactive armor is suppose to be, how do we know that they didn't tamper with the block before hand.
A lot of channels like this, Real Life Lore, William Spaniel, etc... all have a very heavy bias and losing credibility recently... where somehow everything is a problem for Russia only, but not a problem for the Ukrainians. For instance somehow supply issues over rivers and bad and an endless ever expanding front is an issue for Russia, but somehow the same thing doesn't apply to the Ukranians. You can't tell me in like 40 minute videos that all the roads were bombed to hell and back, or they were hard to pass due to all the rain and mud, rivers and bridges acting as bottlenecks for the Russians, then the next week act like those aren't issues for the advancing Ukrainians.

I was able to gather all that info easily. You can also tell which side they're on.
6:10 The Finnish Mosin nagant is one of two rifle at 9-hole reviews to have reached 1000 yards with iron sights alone, so a scoped Mosin for DMR-stuff isn't quite as outdated as portrayed.
These are Tula made. Probbably more reliable but less precise due to loose tolerances
No not necessarily, but that assumes that the soldiers issued with Nagants are actually 1) intended for the DMR role, and 2) have received adequate training. And as @Vik Karabin pointed out, there's no knowing the quality and state of those rifles, especially after potentially many years in stock.
It seems more likely to me that they've just been given them because there was nothing else to give.
I would imagine these bolt action rifles were not issued to front line assault troops. I also imagine them as a supplement to say AK--47 which have a range of only about 300m.
Nangant will still kill you just as a ak will so it's pretty irrelevant.
It's not the first time a military power has used outdated weapons.
Yeah and 4/10 of my Russian made 7.62 rounds are duds.. even with the heaviest spring they make it won't fire the caps. Federal brass works everytime
The mosin negant round can actually go through most body armor and extremely accurate and this weapon is a legend
Yep an A.R. 15 can go through most body armor as well especially if you have a black tip but the difference is an A.R. 15 can hold 30 rounds and that gun can hold one

6:05 You have to admit though: That is one very well maintained Mosin-Nagant. Sure little bit of wood damage but no outright rust or significant damage to the weapon itself.
Cosmaline is an amazing product
yeah its pretty good condition
10/10 and its PU would love to take it to the firing range
If that's an original scope that Mosin is probably more valuable than an AK47 lol
A real trophy
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
Have the corrupt Russians already obtained Bulgarian citizenship?
Do you know any other nation/nationality that does the same thing? Hmm?
@@DavidElCid300 mostly supercorrupted african politicians
@dykytsenko
How about super corrupt American politicians, bureaucrats, and oligarchs?
@@DavidElCid300 super corrupt ?
I am NOT from USA and my country is in the top 10 LEAST corrupt ones.
USA has waayyy lower level or corruption than ruZZia
Russia: "Hey we are here to liberate you!"
Literally every one: "No. Fuck off"
Russia: "Send in the troops!"
As someone who worked on one of those mega yachts I can tell you first hand all the stories about the oligarchs are true
Care to share all the stories?
This is by far the best video I have seen from you! You showed nothing but facts and a ton of information that I was unaware of, like how deep the corruption actually flows through Russia. Proved everything you said ! Great job, I was expecting to hear everything I already had and was assuming your just late on making the same type of video everyone else has. But that was not the case! It certainly was Not What I Thought!
Thanks Jacob!
the bit about Ukrainian missiles striking Poland isn't a "fact" as it hasn't been confirmed to be Ukranian. In fact, it's most likely Russian but the west doesn't want to antagonize Poo-tin. Even if the missiles were Ukranian, the way it's presented in this video is inaccurate. Russian missiles "returning to home" are ones that were supposed to be set up to specifically target a different area. The missiles that struck Poland, IF they were Ukranian, were almost certainly fired from a SAM system in an attempt to destroy Russian cruise missiles, then missed and kept flying into Poland. The reason we know this most likely isn't the case is that Ukranian SAM systems are configured to blow themselves up if they miss the target to avoid this exact situation.
I can't believe I spent 24 years in the Army training and preparing to fight against the Soviet Union/Russia. All I heard was how big, and fierce the Soviet war machine was, and how they were going to take over Europe and USAEUR troops would be overrun in hours. I actually feel sorry for those young Russian soldiers that get conscripted into Ukraine basically to die.
I recently watched a Wagner video basically showing the criminal conscripts being forced to charge into enemy front lines. It appears that some of them weren't even carrying weapons.
A recent Wagner escapee said that even if they completed their 6 month tour, rather than having to pay them the money they were promised, they were being executed on the orders of Wagner owners.
Since the fall of the Soviet union, corruption has been rampant within the military and government, with everyone lining their pockets at the expense of the Russian people.
Russia has such mineral and cultural wealth they could be a legitimate world superpower if not for all the corruption.
Украина проиграла. 170 000 убитых 200 000 тяжело раненых.
Sounds like you were lied to, twice. Once when you were told that Russia was a threat to Europe. Then again when you are told that Russia is incapable of fighting a legitimate combined arms war. its as if your country tells you two very different lies when it suits them to do so. So you will support US hegemony.
Russia in its entire history did not have colonies and slaves. Even Alaska was annexed to Russia on an equal footing, which cannot be said for Europe, the Anglo-Saxons and the United States.
The West is run by soft socialism , Russia is Nationalist ...wakey wakey .
Most of those poor Russian kids don't want to be fighting this d*** war. It's sad that they're put on the front lines without proper equipment. Cancel terrible for them. I have 2 tours in Iraq. We had just about everything we needed. Kids are being killed for nothing man. It's disgusting
Fantastic analysis. Thank you so much for the insights.
Love your content. I am easily put off by lack of narration skills and I have no complaints. That’s especially hard to do when English isn’t your first language. Very good with your tonality and story telling. Thank you.
When you said “not what you think” I already thought their military was bad so I thought you were about to convince us they are good.😂😂😂😂
Somebody just got a message on their iPhone👂(13:27)😂😂😂
Did you hear that?😂
When you surround yourself with enough lies it will soon enough seem like the truth
Smart comment. Both sides like it. If only likes was money.
That remark sums up the Kremlin perfectly.
Unfortunately most only see lies when they have chosen a side they disagree with. When in fact you are being blinded with lies from everywhere including the side they agree with. That common saying "Don't trust anyone!" Has never been more important than in today's age. The Western media are on par with Russian propaganda. What does not fit a certain viewpoint is now seen as misinformation or hate speech and removed from public access so all you see is what they want you to see. Basic history is not being told correctly by the west especially as to why Russia has gone to war. NATO expansion east and Russia's warning throughout the years are almost unheard, When the Bill Clinton’s administration proposed former Warsaw Pact members Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary to join in 1998 was the 1st step of the beginning of this war and the US and NATO have just kept pushing. Putin said Ukraine was the red line for years. NATO still pushed...... Feel for the Ukraine people, they have been played by both sides. No love here for Putin, no love here for NATO or US foreign Policy. Much Love to the Blind and those that are not fooled.
14:50 Explosive charges with wood? I know what these are!!!
I did demolition training in the Spanish army (field artillery). These charges are meant for training and come in normalized sizes, I think this is a 250g pack.
The reason is that TNT does not just explode as in the movies, it explodes "by sympathy", it needs a fuse and an initiator charge, which is a smaller charge (50 or 25g, can't recall) and you have to put together the bigger charges adding smaller ones together until you get the desired weight of TNT.
These wooden blocks are to train how to set these up, add the fuse and the cable, etc... Once you learn how to safely set up a charge you get the opportunity of the real deal (which is amazing!!!)
So, these Mobiks got freakin' training charges!!! OMFG!!! Well, at least they can use them for heating.
They can't even use them for heating, because they received toothpicks instead of match ;)
That's some good trolling I see. Keep going Russophobes!
@@OwOchina no such thing as Russia phobes, when are you clowns going to realise, yous are the bad guys.
@@lewismo1 Who are bad guys? Ukrainians? I highly recommend you to clean up you brain from the impressing amount of shit you have there
сначала говорит,что так этими боеприпасами обучают,а потом говорит что им выдают мобилизованным,которых обучают.Гениально
I remember when everyone was shitting on Call Of Duty for always making russians the "bad guy", when in reality they made them look much better, powerful and menacing then they really are
Not the russians, but USSR. During the Soviet Era, it was way different. Especially before Gorbachev's presidency.
@@user-kr6up3nq6z Ukraine doesn't have any weaponry that's built by them. If the west didn't support them with weapons, the war would've ended within a week.
@@Muesto123 Russia does the same thing
@@user-kr6up3nq6z I thought the Ukrainians were forcefully occupied? Huh, weird :)
@@Muesto123 honestly no they're not. You've never seen modern day NATO in full attack or defence mode. In the middle east NATO have always been held back by politics, you have only seen a slight smidge of their military power. A full on attack or defence with absolutely no humanitarian limits at all from NATO/US would steam roll and completely decimate anything at all.
Best video so far
Lol, best bs video so far
I can't believe their 'aircraft cruiser' isn't nuclear powered. Given the huge number of nuclear vessels the Soviets had, I'm really surprised that this isn't one of them. They even had nuclear powered icebreakers. No nuke for the carrier?
They didn’t put a lot of emphasis on “aircraft carriers”.
Carriers are power projection systems.
Their naval doctrine differs from the USA.
@@Mugdornatheir naval doctrine is more geared towards sea floor domination
Yes the infamous battle against the crabs. P.S. The crabs won and feasted on their enemy!
@@Mugdorna "Aircraft Carriers" aren't allowed through the Bosphorus between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. That's why the Kusnetsov is classed as a "heavy aircraft cruiser" by Russia.
@@No1sonuk my comment had nothing to do with their designation. My comment referred to the fact that the USSR never invested in aircraft carriers as central to their doctrine
