9:41 Regarding the "Bars" callsign, the translation might be slightly missleading, because "Bars" means "snow leopard" in Ukrainian language and since the animal itself is very fierce and beautiful and both short in it's name in Ukrainian, it has become a pretty popular callsign among soldiers, but i'd still gladly have a callsign like that if i was a rapper xd
Brother, please never stop making these videos, I think I've watched all of your commentary videos in a weekend and I enjoy them because you see things and have toughts that I would not have as a normal civilian !
With ""Friendly" it was a false translation. What he said is that He is on his side. He said that to a fellow soldier when he was approaching him not to be shot.
6:47 there is a chance it could be a piss bottle but the reason why they do that is so thermal imaging off of gun scopes or generally any type of thermal device can pick up that type of trail your piss leaves on trees or grass like a neon sign basically very bright and noticeable
If you take a dump or a leak in the woods,you can see it from Thermal/Night Vision. It is clear,like smokin a cigarette. You can see it also from above,from a Recon Drone with Visions.
Alot of People don't know when you piss it shows up on thermal and even after you take a piss on a spot it is still visible with thermal after so they can spot you or your location.
@@jayryan1956well no it's just logical. You piss is same temp as your internal body temp when it comes out. Anyone with a brain can figure out it will show on thermals
Literal COD missions are being conducted in that war. Lot of so called Diversion Reconnaissance Groups. DRG raids or operations are usually conducted by SOF units with teams infiltrating behind enemy lines. Tasks include special reconnaissance missions, counter reconnaissance, direct action operations and unconventional warfare. We're talking teams of like 10 dudes all walking around in these "leaf suits" with suppressed rifles and machine guns, everyone has thermal optics and NVGs. They recon and ambush different units, many times in rear areas hitting support units and such. Set up mines for security or to conduct ambushes. Crazy stuff.

Amazing video, I would love to see you react and give you toughts on the new video posted by the 3rd assault brigade a few days ago titled "The Third Assault Force breaks through the front: exclusive footage of preparations & video battle"
having a spread of recon units probing the front and marking positions on a shared map is fucking clutch as hell. i really hope they can't be tracked by that phone they use to mark. but having digital mapping instead of marking on paper and taking it back to HQ to brief higher command is awesome.
Dude, I love your videos, keep them coming. For context-that calling “Bars”…probably the guy is a pretty quiet in his movement and a tough fighter. Because “Bars” is what they call a Siberian snow leopard. I am not a Russian but grew up in Bulgaria and studied Russian (and German and English). Proud US citizen with two kids, a wife and a mortgage on the USWC for the last quarter century… Keep up the good work 👍
the "friendly" callout was because after taking down that one dude, a friendly walked out from the forest right by the guy, so was in his line of fire, so he called out "friendly" to make sure they wouldn't have a blue on blue.
8:19 Between the scope and the tree there's a recon guy's worst nightmare - a mosquito. Sitting in a bush, being eaten alive by these little vampires being unable to move is a torture. And they get everywhere. PS. lezhka - camouflaged prone position(there were two of them, one with RPK, another with RPGs). Krytka - small bunker. That was probably ruzzkies forward observation point, two-men position.
Collimator in Russian (and I assume Ukrainian) is just a red dot sight. In the video he tells the guy to put it behind the thermal. I assume that he basically makes his thermal scope work with the red dot sight for faster target acquisition, the way a lot of people (including me) run an EOTech red dot and a magnifier
They’re likely pissing in containers to avoid thermal imaging from drones at night. Pissing all over the side of a tree or on the ground leaves a surprisingly large thermal fingerprint and lasts for some time.
pissing in a contair and then storing it somewhere else is for thermal or rather against thermal drones and such things. i also heard that some units that are stuck on the fron with no water have to drink ther own urine
It doesn’t work for very long though, as the glass will heat up and emit a signature (thermal cant see through glass but if the glass emits thermal radiation from heating up, it will detect that radiation)
A thermal drone can pick up a heat signature if you urinate in the open (or on a tree for example) for about 30 minutes. Urinating in a bottle can help reduce the thermal signature of your position
It would only work for a short time, just because thermal can’t detect heat through glass, it can if the glass heats up cause then it’s detecting the signature of the glass and not what’s in it or behind it
12:10 prob markign the dugout on the map for drones or artillery incase they cant gain control they have a layout of their dugouts? 2 mins later you say their mapping it out guess i shoulda waited to comment LOL
I’m regards to the bottles I’m thinking it looked like he was pulled out of the creek. So he could have been getting water to purify. Or possibly getting mud to use in the fortifications
Recon looks scary AF. The whole war is ofcourse, but when you are in a fight, you are in it. Sneeking around in silence when anything can happen at any time, as if you expect a jump scare around every cornor. Creepy stuff, respect to the recon teams.
knowing the Russian army this was likely a 2man hide/mg nest, they sent one off to buy booze or something a little harder and the guy now covered in leaves went for a morning wizz.
It's not the leafs only, it's the mushy ground. When you walk on it the topography changes, it's little higher than the rest of the forrest ground as you raise the soil with each step. Leafs help for sure as you can see the soil on them that is not possible naturally unless an animal passed through.
6:38 don’t think it’s a piss bottle but it would make sense. You don’t want to be going around pissing on trees as you are just leaving a heat signature for drones with thermals to pick up. Thermals will pick up your piss on a tree for about 20mins depending on conditions of course.
They are using coli as a translation to a reflex/holo sight but are ususally the tube styles of sights; less weight to carry while breaking contact if they dumping to reserves while providing cover fire = faster running to evac😋
The "Friendly" thing is something both sides occasionally do. They yell "friendly!" or "ours!" and hope the other side falls for it, so they can get in close and light 'em up. Another reason we did the challenge/password or "flash/thunder" thing in the Airborne, and Army infantry in general. Clearly this LP/OP they jumped was not expecting anything serious and they were able to roll that dude with a quickness.
I find it much harder to read the subtitles when they are on the top of the screen because the natural focus point is on the lower half. Would it be possible to have the subtitles on the bottom please or does that mess with your layout?
The reason why recon or certain special forces, while in the field would PEE either in a water bottle and put it in their backpack, or you dig a hole and pee in the hole and then cover it up, is because thermals can pick up urine easily. So if you pee on a tree or somewhere, then with thermals, they would be able to identify it and will start looking in that area as it shows up bright white for two hours or so until it cools

He said friendly because he was walking up to his teammate who had taken out the enemy.
In the beginning there it looks like they shot some dude going AWOL.
Maybe pissing in bottle to prevent thermal signatures that drones can see easily?
Still wouldn’t work, it’s better than just straight doing it in the open, but eventually that glass will heat up and emit thermal radiation
Theres is a lot of these azov videos ive seen now that are pretty hektic. Are these guys like the stormtroopers or something?
Yep, "elite" assault unit, mechanized infantry. Send to the worst spots, fixing holes, stopping advances, rescuing surrounded troop, assaulting.

excellent area for ghillie suits
Hide heat signature by peeing in a hole or he's taking it with him til it cools down so he can dumb it about 20 min
They could be pissing bottles to contain the heat so they can conceal it. Drones have thermals and piss can give you away.
Bars (call sign on video) means leopard
Piss bottle is smart if the Russian was on patrol or recon thermals would pick up the heat signature of the piss.
Still would pick it up, just because thermal can’t see through glass doesn’t mean that the glass won’t heat up and emit thermal radiation itself
Kolimator would be a collimator sight or a so called "red dot sight".

@ I was letting him know cause he asked someone to let him know in the comments, I don’t even have TikTok
Wouldn't it make sense to piss in bottles due to thermal
No because the glass will heat up, easier to bust out an E-tool and get digging
The reason why recon or certain special forces, while in the field would PEE either in a water bottle and put it in their backpack, or you dig a hole and pee in the hole and then cover it up, is because thermals can pick up urine easily. So if you pee on a tree or somewhere, then with thermals, they would be able to identify it and will start looking in that area as it shows up bright white for two hours or so until it cools
Just say it shows bright, not everyone runs their thermal in white hot. For example I run mine in red hot
