      @SomalianIchimi 3 місяці тому +3

      years ago i read that the military's stance towards stalkers in soc & cs was because of irl ukraine's political condition, including their irl military at that time, so stalker was a satire/critics from the developers (look how they make the military as corrupt and annoying for the players, especially after you're exiting swamp).
      but everything changed since cop. idk what really happened in irl ukraine during cop's development, i have little interest in foreign politics. and take this information with grain of salt as idk if the source was reliable (because i even forgot where i read that).
      but i think the military has changed more in stalker 2 since the russian invasion, especially since one of the cs dev (or maybe more) was killed near bakhmut in dec 2022 (rip loki, from anarchist to joined military for actual freedom).
      i need to wait to play or at least watched the full walkthrough to understand the story instead of just watching the trailers.

    I always think that the military is the counterpart of the mercs, they want to uncover the zone's secrets, they are organized and disciplined, they are distrusted by nearly everyone in the zone, their gear are more advanced than any other faction (on par with monolith) and they don't know much about the zone, with only their superior training keeping them alive instead of becoming worm food.
    While every faction has their own reason for assaulting CNPP after Strelok disabled the brain scorcher, most of the reason is about reaching the wish granter, but I doubt the military is interested in the zone's myth like that, instead, the reasoning behind military's assault on CNPP could be to uncover the monolith's secrets (maybe for revenge for their soldiers that got massacred in Yantar?) and potentially, another underground labs beneath the CNPP after their encounter with monolith
    These guys are probably the most annoying to fight, especially during early game, second only to high profile mutants or elite monoliths. They used advanced weapons that hurts a lot, their armor is far better than your bog-standard bandits and they have a tendency to use grenades more often than anyone. About the only saving grace is that they are not as spread out in the zone as other factions and the loot you get after killing them is substantially better than looting bandits

      I don’t think they want to “uncover” anything, that’s more of Freedom’s mission. Theirs is to keep it all a secret (or at least minimise the leaks), because people might rebel if they knew what kind of fuckery was allowed in Chernobyl.
      They’re soldiers of the government, after all, don’t forget.

  • @vikingyux3491
    @vikingyux3491 2 роки тому +164

    Okay, let’s take a look at the accomplishments of the Ukrainian military in the zone:
    Failed basically every single operation they ever conducted
    Failed all rescue attempts except one
    Says they want to stop the stalking phenomenon, but they’re the reason why it’s still growing
    Indirectly created duty.
    CS:
    Failed to gun down a merc in clear sky armor with a PKM
    Leaves a squad to die in their own warehouses
    Gets their asses kicked in middle of Limansk and loses a helicopter
    SoC:
    Wiped out small loner faction in the cordon
    Sets up a base in Agroprom.
    Tries to kick out a group of loners near the second building in agroprom(failed)
    They get their base wiped out by the marked one who was armed with a modified AK-76 and a regular sunrise suit
    Raids X-18 to get the documents, again failed
    Gets their documents stolen in their checkpoint
    Tries to take over radar after the brain scorcher was shut down, failed
    Once again assaults the CNPP in Operation Monolith, once again get completely wiped out by a mega-emission
    CoP:
    Launches Operation Fairway, do I even need to say what happened here?
    Survivors of the operation get holed up in a laundromat in Pripyat
    They are then saved by Major Degtyarev and takes strelok with them and a gauss rifle too
    And that’s it for now until stalker 2 releases
    I know I have missed a couple of things but in conclusion:
    This is probably the most incompetent military in any video game ever.

      @@_454_ It appears in the more popular mods but UNISG is a cut faction. They were supposed to appear in Clear Sky but due to time they had to cut it out of the game. They would have probably appear in Generators, which is another cut location. It would have been somewhere above cnpp. Their mission is unknown and almost everything about them is also unknown. The info we get is (the info above), a dialouge from Hog (a mercenary in army warehouses) saying how they use no guide to reach the deeper parts of the zone without a guide, they would have used a red / white monolith suits (due to time they would sometimes do that) and the only confirmed ally would have been Scar. Just incase you were wondering, UNISG stands for United Nations International Science Group. To answer your question, it's kinda a 50/50 since they were cut so anomaly just added them in, just like renegades. It would have been a really good faction if they had the time to add it in.

    I kind of wanted to start writing a story about Stalker using existing lore but also adding my own ideas.. One of those ideas was that the military is partially responsible for stalker population in the zone. Sidirovich and the military are cooperating in that regard where Sid gets the military to turn the blind eye on a novice getting smuggled in the zone (rookie village) for a fee which Sid then gets back triple full by tasking those same novices to do tasks for him.

    The reason as to why they're so corrupt and suck at their job is because it's a security service, not a National guard or active duty service, they're more of a counter-terrorism/civil unrest fotce than a military, they get poor pay and funding, and most of the equipment they're sent from ghe military is pretty terrible or in already bad condition except maybe the T64s which are all but abandoned since the REAL military pulled out. Only thing going for them is the units such as spetsnaz and the helicopters/vehicles from outside of the zone, personally I think Berkut (State Security Servicr of Ukraine) is gonna be disbanded and replaced with fhe Ukrainian national guard like they do irl, or the real military.

    I just want to add that "Military" as defined in the game is a confusing term. All of the patches and mentions actually are not about army, but about two different structures.
    Army (military) is Ministry of Defense. SBU (Sluzhba Bezpeky Ukrayiny, СБУ) aka SSU (State Service of Ukraine) is a structure on it's own and is under authority of the President of Ukraine.
    Another structure which is labeled as "military" in the game is Ministry of Internal Affairs (you can see МВС on patches - Міністерство Внутрішніх Справ). To understand what this ministry is, one of the biggest structures under Ministry of Internal Affairs is what is nowadays a national police (it was militsiya back in 2006).
    Both SSU and police can be and are militarized when needed, and have their own special forces (spetznas - term from USSR, in russian - specyalnogo naznacheniya, translated as "special purpose [forces]"), but they are not army.

It is also funny that with their resources and connections they still struggle with the zone. There are supposedly vehicles able to operate in the anomalous areas inside the zone, modofied by the stalkers such as Cardan, it is revealed in the outro.

    and idk if it's true or not but if you pass the bridge with bribe, sometimes later you'll find the rookie village was wiped out by the military, so in the end i always choose to shoot them (at least you can sell their loots and 74u is always a better choice than bandit mp5). 74u changed my early gameplay before i can get strelok's fast ak.

    Great video, very interesting, The military is one of my favourite factions next to the Ecology, and Mercs.
    Playing the Alife Warfare mod for Anomaly as Military (With tweaked values) and controlling the entire zone felt somewhat very immersive, as though it was their final push.
    With Dynamic Relations, they teamed up with the Mercs, and even Freedom for a bit before I ultimately had to cut ties with Duty, then relations failed with the Mercs and Freedom.
    In the end It was just myself, and the Ecology, and I regretfully had to Order 66 them, personally assassinating the scientists to ensure the knowledge never leaves the Zone.
    I gunned down the final scientist as he fled while I was listening to Firelake to really embrace that feeling of emptiness and "I'm only following orders, I'm sorry."

    I think a big step for the military in the right direction would be establishing some sort of intelligence network inside the zone. Informants, spying on communications, or working closer with ecologists. Many of their downfalls come from a lack of information about the zone. If they had a better understanding they could approach the zone with some tact instead of just slamming their troops into it and hoping to come out victorious. Unfortunately the only time they seem to adapt is after a catastrophic failure.
    We'll see what their plans are in STALKER 2

    • @anomalousdugout9557
      @anomalousdugout9557  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, I believe you are right. Maybe the authorities will allow more contacts with stalkers aimed at learning the Zone, especially after the success of Major Degtyarev. Hiring Strelok as a consultant was also a step in that direction.
      Anyway, hope to see new videos from you soon!

    One thing that always confused me was why a lot of regular Army grunts are seen with AKS-74U's. Now sure, rare weapons are relatively well represented in the Stalker franchise, but considering these are regular soldiers from a real military force that actually exists, how many of them carry AKS-74U's is quite strange, considering it's a Spetsnaz and second-line weapon for tank crews and truck drivers and the like and most of the soldiers should be carrying the full length rifle version.

      In my opinion, the army was most screwed over by the Zone itself, not so much by the factions (at least when it comes to special forces and military stalkers). Mutants, anomalies, blowouts and psi-emissions got the better of them. If not for such phenomenons, the military would have defeated the Monolith and captured the CNPP at the end of Shadow of Chernobyl.

    If the zone was a thing thing would Ukraine collaborate with Russia or the US? Maybe both? There's no way they would have enough resources to do everything they want to in the zone. The US is always eager to use its #1 military in the world for something and Russia would likely be interested too.
    What do you think, would the US try everything it could to get into the zone?

      I do believe that Ukraine has some sort of collaboration with Russia. This would explain how they get modern russian weapons. However, I'm not sure about the US. As we saw in the last video, it is possible that the western countries are operating in the Zone through the Mercenary faction. I think this is more likely than an American/Ukrainian military collaboration, but I could be wrong.

      Well, in Clear Sky UN troops are mentioned, but they are probably at outer perimeters of the zone , while in game we only see a part of the inner perimeter (Cordon). Ukraine probably gets a tons of money founds from UN, US, Nato and Russia (probably Russia also gives equipment) in universe. Also the Ukrainian goverment probably tries to keep critical infromations about the zone for themself, so letting international and foreign troops inside the zone would probably a bad idea for them.
