    These videos are a great reality check for a lot of people. Modern combat isn't close gunfights or shit like that. It's an artillery slugfest with high losses, collateral damage, and misery

    • @death_parade
      @death_parade 2 роки тому +21

      Depends. As I see it, in this Russo-Ukrainian war, there is a lot of room and the front is thinly held. So such maneuvers are more common than assaults. But I suspect that in the case of other frontlines, such as the India-China frontline in the Himalayas, in such areas as the Spanggur Gap and Fingers, you'd see a lot more gunfights and frontal assaults and a lot less maneuvering because Arty FOs on high ground would easily spot and end you. Plus the troop concentrations there are higher.

      @@eriklarson9137 now compare that to how many videos you find of indirect fire, air strikes, and minefields. Close up fighting is barely a fraction of what's actually going on. This isn't a speculation or opinion it's literally a fact agreed upon by dudes on the ground, the ISW, both UK and US intelligence, Ukraine's own admittance, AND you're literally watching a video made by a guy who has videos specifically discussing this topic

    If anyone is wondering why they’re walking where there could be mines, mines have triggers depending on their targets. Like an anti personnel mine will have a much smaller charge and lighter trigger, but anti tank/vehicle mines have heavier triggers as they’re usually buried deep and so need a heavier trigger so the dirt doesn’t set them off, but seem as vehicles are heavy and tanks are easily 10+ tons they will set it off no worries but a human shouldn’t set it off. This being said if you find yourself standing in front of a mine, obviously don’t jump on it😑

    • @shanejohns7901
      @shanejohns7901 2 роки тому +19

      Some anti-vehicle mines are set off magnetically as well. And specifically for anti-vehicle mines, they typically have the ability to pop on the second, rather than the first, press. This tends to mess up the mine-clearing vehicles that expect the front part of their vehicle to take the brunt of the force. By setting it to a 2nd press, the mine has a better chance of actually taking out the mine-clearer vehicle rather than just that spinning drum that they often have in front.

    God It gives me so much anxiety to see you walking in a field where mines could be. Be careful out there

    I prefer more raw'ish videos like your first mission in Ukraine, that video shows more than any channel I've seen, and this current video just feels like the regular, faster paced video that doesn't show as much...
    Anyway, good job! You are a brave one

      Go to telegram if you want more raw news. UA-cam will always censor this kind of stuff.

    I'll never understand how someone that's volunteering to fight needs to prove their intentions are real now proving their capability to watch your back & deal with the mental and physical strains is a totally different story but a person's intentions should never be questioned when they're being shot at by the same bullets as you
