It’s midnight on August 17, 1919, offshore on the Gulf of Finland.
The silence of the sea is broken by the rumble of speedboats racing across the water, their bows bouncing on the calm waves. On their stern, they carry 18 inch torpedoes.
Their mission is simple and daring. Attack a heavily armed Russian port.
They are to use the speedboat’s small size to sail over Russian minefields and attack the Russian Baltic fleet docked at the port of Kronstadt. Small motorboats versus a heavily armed base.
The British are trying to prevent Bolshevik forces from using their fleet against the Estonians who are fighting a desperate war for independence.
It's an incredible story of bravery and daring. A David and Goliath encounter of small motorboats against the might of a Russian stronghold.

Haha ruski go bom
Thank you so much for these animations, they make my dad every time you post!
world of boats
Keep up the outstanding quality content you have the best mix of quantity and quality at the same time thank you yarnhub
Like video
These videos are basically mini-documentaries being pumped out god-speed with picturesque graphics, keep it up guys, you are the best.
These are better than HISTORY documentaries!
It's called propaganda
@@alfredpeasant5980it not propaganda if it’s true history
@@United.Kingdom. let me know when they make one about Luscitania, it's propaganda
@@alfredpeasant5980 alright
Finally the Estonian war of independence is recognized more
"War of independence" ? Which independence? You mean literally a nationalist movement which collaborated with the germans in WW2
😄 bro nobody care about estonia,specialy the english, the problem on that time was the bolseviks, the red plague, the russian civil war.
Who cares about Estonia and other baltic counties that never existed before 1917 revolution, and suddenly decided to become independent capitalist countries instead of being part of RSFSR
@@trevorphilips3724 You call them red plague, because they took away your grandpa´s property based on oppression and exploitation, he was most likely a slave owner
true
How far you've come in 2022 alone is insane. I can't wait for what you have in store for 2023!
Приготовил как мы долбим вас. )))
the level of detail in these animations are staggering! the close-up shots of each person's face and the detail on their facial expressions is brilliant too, never failing to outdo yourself with each video, keep up the amazing content, Yarnhub!
It's like a proto-PT boat raid. Amazing to hear about this kind of thing happening in the era immediately following WW1.
A interesting side note is that destroyers where originally designed to combat torpedoe boats and where called torpedoe boat destroyers to prevent raids like this one
They even used Anti Air guns in WW1 as an Anti Boat application. Worked well against the plywood things.
It’s not a proto PT boat because torpedo boats were invented and used well before WW1. They played a significant role in the Russo-Japanese War.
WHAT A STORY!!! Absolute pure heroics and bravery on a near suicide mission. Yarnhub, your dedication to true history is phenomenal. I so look forward to each and every video!
Well russian force in this years was very very poor.
@@Leantenant If they are weak/poor. They would not have won the Civil War and annexed some territories then
@@danieljani7981 ...
In Civil War they fought against??? Against another russian force.(in general)
Their strenght was in idea and hope on happy future. And support from peoples. But red army was more weaker than white at wealth. And also fought at 4 fronts, idk how they won.
But they dont annexed some territories, they loose a lot of territory(like Poland, west belarus and ukraine, finland and etc).
@@Leantenant The white forces were actually heavily fractured and the wealth was very split.
@@PussNBootos No, it's was their problems, they wasn't work in team and it's one of the most serious their mistakes.
I'm glad to see this channel making videos about this general period and region of Europe. You can find a lot of topics there!
Could you perhaps consider making a video about Merian C. Cooper and other American pilots of the Kościuszko Escadrille, fighting for Poland against the Bolsheviks?
The 303 Squadron, that you've recently covered, was actually continuing the tradition of that unit and bearing their emblem!
It’s amazing how good your videos are. At it again Yarnhub!
I love when they do naval stories! Are you guys planning on doing the Battle of Jutland? Or a snippet of that story of the British armored cruiser that steamed towards the German Fleet after mistaking them for the British fleet?
How realistic is this animation !those sailor's face is so real!good work
I love how these videos are made. Instead of seeing the same photos or videos I have seen a million times. These videos are really awesome. Like watching movie shorts. Thank you for your time I really appreciate them
ngl the part where the boats crashed into eachother looked like a movie with real humans in it..kerp up the good work!
Awesome mate, mass improvement again! Graphics and physics are just incredible, you've left me speechless!
I clicked immediately
Me too
I clicked after abit
Nordstream 2
Same lol
Same
Yes, a little-known story of the intervention of England, France, the USA, Canada, Japan, Italy in Soviet Russia, which the Bolsheviks successfully repelled. Thanks for the video, the quality is getting better every time!🐰
Thankfully the Bolshies were stopped on the Vistula a couple years later.
Perhaps the single most consequential and little known event in the lead-up to the War.
1923 and 1933 never would have happened if the Red Army invaded Central and Western Europe.
The US controlled most of easter Russia until the white army lost, then they just left. I wouldn't call that a repelling.
@@CaptainLumpyDog Жаль, что не вторглись.
@@user-lb1jp3xx6eGey kakn afen yam, Putinist.
@@CaptainLumpyDogбольшевики не вторгались в Европу, они просто пытались отвоевать русские, белорусские и украинские земли захваченные Польшей. И в 39 большевики по договору с немецкими нацистами заняли исключительно эти земли, исконно польские земли не трогали.
These animations are Insane! Would love to see a video on the siege of Wake Island where 499 marines of the 1st defense battalion held off an attack of 2.500 men as well as 6 destroyers and 3 light attack cruisers using a aminuscule amount of gear; 4 damaged F4F Wildcats and 127mm costal defense guns
499 marines? I wonder what happened to the 500th
Tonsillitis
If the animation continues like this, we’ll never be able to tell when they switch to live action recreations
4:28 Intricate art with beautiful narration.
Such great camera work and animation. I hope in the near future you make a video going into all the stuff you (and your team if you have any) do to make these videos.
Wow! I had never heard of this engagement! Outstanding video and storytelling! Thank you for creating these videos.
I’ve been watching for a long time and it’s been amazing to see your animation improve, from 2d to your first 3d to now. You used to have plain black dots for eyes and mouths and u got better and made better eyes mouths and fluid animation, and now your here with realistic hair eyes mouths water affects and it’s awesome, especially to take this journey with you through your animation. And I’m encouraging you to continue because I love these videos. History is a passion of mine and I love learning more things from your videos thank you so much I look forward to seeing all of your videos!
Wow
I noticed the better quality of assets and animations in recent epicodes but this one is something else, this was amazing to watch!
This was the second attack on the port. The first attack was led by Augustus Agar. He managed to hit and sink a heavy cruiser. He won the VC for that.
Что ты несёшь, у России в то время не было тяжёлых крейсеров.
Good channel. our inspiration.
They're called "destroyers" which is a shortened form of "torpedo boat destroyers"... they were designed specifically to help protect larger but less maneuverable capital ships against devastating torpedo-launching speedboats.
I'm so exited about your next Sabaton collaboration. Your videos never disappoint. Keep up!
It's been a few videos and the animations are always spectacular, love the exact 4:30 shot
These are becoming more and more realistic, good job!
Thanks for telling this story; one of our least remembered little wars in 20th century history. I have a vague feeling of reading that someone else earned a VC in a similar attack - is that another story you could consider, or is my memory at fault?
Brilliant graphics - these are as good as any live action film.
2:25
These men are really calm during a raid!
My guess was right!
I'm far too pleased with myself.
Love your videos Yarnhub!
I've only missed like three yarnhub videos and come back to this? wtf? This looks like a legitimate movie production at this point. Insane rate of improvement guys, amazing work.
wow, the animations are getting better and better. Thats a point to love your videos even more.
Seeing the evolution of Yarnhub is awesome. You guys just go from strength to strength. Keep it up!
Yarnhub you videos are always the best and I WATCH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS as soon as they come out, I really love you channel and your stories!
As a finnish person I have big love for my estonian brothers! It was beautiful when they got independent.
i wish you guys can have Karelia back to your home, my Finnish lads
@@petergwp Me too. Both of my fathers parents had to leave their homes in karelia when soviets invaded Finland.
@@fittushattana People want to be russian so let them be russian. You dont like it? Go convince them
@@hiredmurderer6228when did Finland want to be Russian?
@@space4166 Nobody said Finland did. I was talking about Karelia. Learn to read.
it's still a wonder to me how you manage to make these videos so quickly and so well
You're animations are just amazing! Peak graphics and stories. Keep it up!
God dang I have never learn about this thanks mr yarn
Jesus this animation has changed from 2d to 3d and now looks like a movie!
G'day Yarnhub, I gotta say the animation quality just keeps getting better as the up close facial shots and lim moving is masterful, although knowing the type destroyer used the turret traverse rates were a bit fast on the Pattern 1911 102 mm mounts and the Pom-Pom mounts fired at LMG rates except in the slowed down action.
Yet an overall good animation of a somewhat forgotten raid in an often forgotten part of the russian civil war.
Hmm in your preview earlier this week many guessed the Zeebrugge raid an I was certainly wondering would your team ever cover that glorious raid one day as well? (reading into it was always crazy with the brits using fireships to block the port entry and they stuck flamethrowers to the ships as well like HMS Vindictive 1897).
Brave men, like a David vs Goliath scenario.
They desrve to be remembered.
I am glad to come across your channel. Quite informative and fun to learn about history
Bro with the cut on his cheek after the crash looked so realistic
The animation quality is on point
animation better than some multi million dollar movies lol
can you make a video on operation thunderbolt? also known as operation antebe. this is an incredible story that i would love to see on your channel, thank you!
Fantastic stuff, really love and enjoy these incredible stories.
I remember one ww1 estonian legend about a estonian boy. He lost his father in war. Other soldiers gave him a gun and made him a soldier too to make him a bit more happy. But it didnt help. Then a battle came and there were enemy machineguns.
Then the boy helped his side soldiers by risking his life and throwing some sand near the machineguns by sneaking. Sadly the boy died because while throwing sand at the machinegun the machine gun shooted him but he was succesful on jamming the machine gun.
Tervised kaugelt Vietnamist.
Odav on tääl elada. Rahus ja kaugel kőikest sittast. Tagasi enam ei tule.
That's not a legend - that's a horrible story about tricking a child into being killed.
@@JohnnyWednesday You're misunderstanding it, he isn't saying the boy is a legend, he's saying it's a story ( meaning of legend "a traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but not authenticated.")
@@JohnnyWednesday Frankly, when it comes to the Estonian War of Independence, its not. Its not an understatement to say that Estonian school kids saved Estonia by going to war before most adults.
@@Sirius1914 that boy is dead af
The graphics on these videos continue to get better. I still remember back when Yarnhub used to make 2D videos. You could see just how far they've come.
Bro the animations look so good now😮
When i saw the preview of the video i thought i was seeing a real person your animations have improved a lot
You have improved in animating your videos so much
holy shit, every upload just gives me chills seeing how it seems like every upload the quality always seems to be improving :O
The yarnhub team should be hired to make videogame cutscenes
Awesome story and so excellently told and portrayed. Well done
Love your history vids, you always cover somethign interesting
The British have more mud on their shoes than I thought
Damn snail making the boats OP.
As an estonian i like this😊
Been I while since I watched yarnhub, I am very impressed at how much the animation has improved
Tanks vor vinely posting🤗
Amazing vid as always!! And I think you should do more about ww1 or the Cold War
2 months prior to this attack, a SINGLE British "coastal motor boat" (CMB 4) penetrated Kronstadt harbour to attack the Russian fleet there. As it slid past the destroyer screen protecting the harbour, its engine broke down and it had to tie up alongside the harbour breakwater in darkness for 20 minutes while the engine was repaired. Once sorted it then sped into the harbour and at a 6000 ton Russian cruiser (the "Oleg") which it sank with a single torpedo before speeding out of the harbour under very heavy fire. The same boat was used during the attack detailed in this video to guide the other 3 coastal boats into the harbour and lead them back out again after the attack.
The boat's commander was Capt Augustus Agar. He received the Victoria Cross for his actions, and later during WW2 he commanded , amongst others vessels, the RN heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire which my father served onboard.
Interesting to know that medals were awarded to British forces in this conflict. Were any other medals awarded ? I can't think of any films or tv drama set within the British and allied involvement against the Communists at this time.
@@user-xs1yx9tc9m The whole post WW1 European involvement in the Russian civil war is something that seems to be COMPLETELY ignored. I can't fathom out why that is for sure... but it may possibly be due to interwar being such a complex period of European turmoil which was sandwiched between the two cataclysms of the world wars.
I myself have only a little knowledge about it, but knew of this episode after my father told me the brief outline of the events, and a little reading filled in some of the gaps.
even since WW1 have we fought the Russians, no wonder why Russia is the heroes of Europe as the rest are backstabbing losers, Putin is the last chance of a free Europe against western backstabbing and meddling
That is the warrior sprit right there . Never quit. Great video enjoy.
This is the first time I have heard about the Estonian war of independence. Great work in covering lesser known wars. Thanks guys.👍😁 Pretty bold attack. What speed did these motor boats do please?
I can feel the animation quality getting better each video
Y E S A coverage in the Interbellum Wars of 1919 where the US, France, and the UK invade Soviet Russia to prop up the Baltic States, send the Czechoslovak Legion home, and attempt to curb communism!
Glad to see it being covered Yarnhub! 10/10!
I don’t really understand why you are so cheerful of these events. British and French, Americans and even Germans blatantly invaded young Soviet Republic. As if it is okay to just invade other countries. As if it is to be forgotten.
We never forgot this stab in the back, however.
Колониалисты беспокоились о суверенитете каких-то новых стран Балтии🤣
Да, пропаганда работает💪
This has to be the best Independence of Estonia video ever, another great video yarnhub, and i see the characters are detailed even more!
Always good to know the little known wars.
I've never heard of this amazing battle.
These Animations are Top-Notch! Respect!
Never heard about this piece of history, thanks for making this video 👍
Yarnhub team getting really good at animating these.
Fun fact, the name "Destroyer" is actually shortened from "Torpedo Boat Destroyer" as they were originally designed to well...destroy torpedo boats and protect the fleet from them
Love your videos made me love history!
So many brave men
Nothing more historically satisfying than a Yarnhub video.
How to forget when the Royal Navy used the tactics of the Somali navy
Nice I’m early these videos are perfect mini documentaries
Seeing another Yarnhub video helps make my day a little better
I have been with you guys since the start, keep it up
whenever the video starts we know its a good on so we sit back and relax and also, subscribe to him right now
Great job with this one keep em comin guyz 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I know that you've been getting these sorts of comments a lot ever since you started doing 3D animations, but I am very impressed with the animations.
The animation just gets me crazy!
I like how every sailor just has a giant bullet in their hand
Those mad lads 🇬🇧
Another great video from yarnhub. Keep up the good work!
Love the content please keep up the awsome work
you made my Evening even better
WoW is a unique digital museum where over half the ships never existed and some are completely made up.
Don't forget about WoT. Which ones aren't made up?
Another homerun! Great work!
Awesome video as always!
okay we can agree the video is good but wow the audio is far beyond most of UA-cam well done !
I absolutely love your videos, thank you so much very much appreciated.
Your Yarnhub Channel Trailer 2022 was excellent. I am wondering what music you used for that video?
Nice animation 👌
The water on the camera makes it so realistic
What a harrowing night that must have been. I got exhausted just listening to the story.
