There is a longer version of this. What you don't see is his squad trying to rescue other soldiers that stepped on mines, only to step on mines themselves. He's one of the medics and was trying to go back out and render aid to his injured comrades. Where he jumped was actually a spot they all had walked over many times, so thinking it was clear, he jumped. Out of the 8 or so guys that stepped on land mines only 4 were caught on video, he was the last one.
@@barsnack7999 problem is most of these guntuber channels are full of people who support ukraine because the media said. just like how they make fun of the left lmao
Maybe because they’re in a freaking minefield and the guy who just got blown up actually tried to aid others that got blown up and maybe after the 8th time someone stepping on a mine it’s wise to avoid the area. Just a guess though.
I've seen an update about the soldier and unsurprisingly he did survive, he may have lost a leg but he's still alive. sadly many people still believe that tourniquets are dangerous even though a tourniquet literally saved this dude's life
They're dangerous if you're in a non-life threatening situation where bleeding can be stopped with just pressure and you can readily receive treatment, given that they literally cut off most blood flow to living tissue beyond the tourniquet. This guy is not in that position. Something saving your life in one situation does not mean it is not dangerous to use in a different situation.
I believe the vehicle was a Bradley. It was also reported on multiple Telegram channel is that the Ukrainian soldier that was hurt was a MEDIC. Let’s believe that he is recovering now, but obviously will be taken off of active duty. I try to keep up with every video but it’s hard.
Very moving and informative in so many ways. I hope he made it to a trauma surgeon in time. And all of those soldiers got out of that minefield. I appreciate the knowledgeable comments of viewers as well.
The reason why he did not put it high because there was stuff in this cargo pockets and magazines in pouches on his battle belt. They would not allow him to apply turniquet correctly. What he did is 100% correct.
@@SkinnyMedic as a medic administering self aid - yes. As overall trained soldier no. He made several crucial mistakes that caused him to lose his right leg and failed mission. They knew or should have known that they were on the mine field yet they did not even try to use any mine detectig equipment. You can alway use your bayonet as an improvised mine detector - he did not do that. There are a few other techniques he could have used but he did not. This just shows me that their level of training is very poor and inadequate for the mission that was given. He got lucky he only lost his leg and not got killed. Could have been much much worse.
@@AlexanderGarbuz I cant say for certain but the mine in question may be one of the smaller plastic PMF variety, which are green in color, small and worse yet very sensitive.

Raland J. Patterson wrote- “Kids are out here playing war, they put on boots and a flak and pretend to be soldiers. But when they see these gunships leaving, reality starts to sink in, some of them never truly recover from it.”
I’m shocked for how long it took so long for friendlies to come out to provide support.. They didn’t seem to be under gun fire and it looks like there was plenty opportunity to go out and help/provide aid
There is a longer version of this, those poor guys had land mines all over them and there were like 15 guys dealing with legs blown off it was hard to watch, it’s like 15 mins long.
They got themselves into a mine field because they were given an order to advace on a very well planned and organized defensive positions without any engeneering support. Which was result or poor planing and inadequate training. So nobody could come to his help. In a longer version of this video you can see a number of casulties that made the exact same mistake as him.
It looks bad from the comfort of our homes, but the second guy just saw his buddy get dismembered and is most likely trained to assume the ground is littered with more. He immediately approaches as soon as hes to the ramp and theres no possibility there are more mines between them. He could also be on the lookout for a reaction or he could have other responsibilities in the vehicle. He could also be a draftee with no training who might have written him off on the spot. We cant lay blame either way.
Just an insight to what is actually happening in this video. This is a follow up attempt to recover several mine casualties. What happened was a couple of IFVs with a leading MBT equipped with mine clearing rollers fall victim of anti-tank mines. Crew evacuating stepped on a small area littered with anti-personnel mines ending in multiple almost simultaneous casualties, then adding up even more casualties while trying to recover the initial ones. The result was almost everyone trying to help being injured by mines himself. This guy tries to reach the last remaining casualties, so tries to step on visible explosion ground, but there are plenty of more mines even under the already exploding ones craters (indicating this wasn't a regular minefield but a huge dump of several dozen anti-personnel mines) so he unfortunately knees on one more. The second guy trying to help from the vehicle obviously doesn't get out on the ground to reach him due to this fact and everything else that happened before. There was simply no way to know how many more mines where littering the specific spot. This incident was a very bad bad luck Merphy's law type of thing.
I maybe wrong but after the guy applied the tourniquet I didn’t see him turn the windless bar. He only pulled the slack out of the Velcro and secured it.
This is from a longer video showing what's left of a platoon trapped in a minefield. There are several instances of soldiers stepping onto mines in the video. To their credit none of them panic.
My Dentist's brother is an orthopedic surgeon he sent a set of pictures from where he was working in Northern Syria 2 months ago some really narley damage shattered bones, skin deep blue with signs of rot on the edges of the wounds. I have seen around 8 similar videos of rapid application of tourniquets they are trained hard until it is second nature for the injured to take care of themselves while the rest of the squad advances and kills the orcs then recovery is second priority if no prisoners have been captured.
Now that's emotional fitness. If you look close you can see that whenever he applied the tourniquet it's looked down a little bit so so at first he had it higher. Still, unimaginable emotional fitness.
I pack saran wrap in my IFAK for the stump and many other injuries. Packing saran wrap was recommended by the book "How to Avoid Being Killed in a War Zone" by Rosie Garthwaite.
The guy was wearing gloves nitrile/latex glove when he exited the vehicle. He has a rifle, but is it possible he was a medic attempting to reach some one else to render aide? if so his immediate medical action makes a lot of sense.
he was a medic who came to help others in similar condition. if anything this video should teach you that your medical personal should be kept back until it is cleared and they can approach because now that unit that is stuck on that mine field don't have a medic with them.
It looks like he was going to help with someone who already stepped on one. He's got a vest, takes rifle off, has med gloves on, jumps unnecessarily, and the ground looks as though it's already blew someone open. Blue bands mean medic? Would explain why he kept his cool with self treatment.
Ive had to put a TQ on an amputation with pieces hanging off like this before and it was a gross experience even on somebody else. High and tight, in this case the arm but basically almost in the armpit. All those little tubes we have in us are elastic and can pull 3? inches back inside. a TQ on the end doesnt cut it. Ive heard on a clean full amputation though the swelling can naturally pinch it off or a TQ on the end works better, but there's no downside to high and tight. Just remember the junk check. Also for those of you who think this is only useful in wars, apparently plenty of arms get lost to cars and open windows.
Oh my...that was rough. I think there's a lot to be learned from this. I'm not sure why they thought jumping onto that patch of dirt was a good idea, and I also don't know if they had checked for mines previously...but they definitely know they are there now.
I can't help but notice his left leg appears to have a critical bleed as well. I hope he made it. War is a racket. Hopefully this video makes some folks realize the prepper war fantasy thing is silly
It's now silly, you have to prepare. The problem with us, Ukrainians, was that a lot of people did not believe that russians will invade and just carried on with their regular lives. And then one night - BOOM, the iskanders started flying in.
What would this soldier be feeling? What does that do to your body? Beyond the instant loss of a limb, looks like severe whip-lash as his head is thrown back and bounces. I assume that his ears would be ringing but it appears that he can hear his mates yell at him to put on a tourniquet because at 1:17 he tilts his head back to look at the vehicle and then immediately reaches for the tourniquet. I suspect that he thought "I don't have time to mess with high and tight, I just need to slap this on right now." Or maybe that was an instruction yelled at him. Appears that he can see but will vision typically be affected by a blast like that, or not? That was incredible. Kudos to him and whomever trained him. I can't imagine going through any of that. One comment says that this is a medic going to retrieve victims from a minefield. Both soldiers were wearing blue gloves and he's carrying a large fabric, could that be a stretcher? Incredible.
TOTAL RESPECT! Wow…SELF-rescue and no OTHER choice. REALLY seems as though we’re watching a CG-type scenario. Having the presence of mind to IMMEDIATELY go for his TQ..”SALUTE!”
He Kneels on the mine.. He is a Medic. that was his second time back to the area, where other wounded men were laying in grass. Nobody wanted to move. They filled up the troop carrier before and alrady took some dude out to ambulances. Never kneel or step on boarder of blast circumstance...
This soldier did an amazing job with that rapid no hesitation TQ application. Sucks he won't have a leg no more, just hope he made it home and that APC didn't get shelled or hit a mine. As far as exposure and TQ placement, just get one on and get him in the back. Expose, apply second TQ high, check for secondary Rxs. That guy looked like he had his shnit together and probably did all of the above.
Don’t matter it’s blown off and not bleeding seen that a hundred times. You can put a tourniquet on but it’s just to prevent it from starting to bleed later on when he’s bumping it around in transport.
"Adrenaline may not let you feel a bullet, but you will definitely feel a severed limb." "Oleg saved his own life. After receiving the message: "Many wounded. Help is needed," he and three other medics headed to the hot zone. Oleg knew where he was: a minefield. He jumped off the ramp of his Bradley to help a wounded comrade and landed directly on a mine. The blast wave completely destroyed his right leg. His training worked and he applied the tourniquet without thinking. He fought through the incredible pain and shock of losing a limb, and managed to stop the bleeding enough to survive. The next hurdle was getting back to Bradley. Due to the risk of being blown up by new mines (4 soldiers had already stepped on them), the medic could not come for him. So Oleg took his fate into his own hands for the second time. He crawled." 47th Magura ... Now when in a mine mixed minefield you can only move around so much and when severely injured people is there trying to get to them usually leads to further injuries. Bradley could have backed a bit more and used ramp to put pressure on ground but at the risk of the crew and passengers.
I have no idea how this man had the wherewithal to immediately start treating himself after such a catastrophic trauma. I would've been completely incoherent.
I’m guessing the guy was a medic (gloves, armbands) and was probably still in the initial shock so no pain just bleeding out rapidly, so his rapid use of the tourniquet shouldn’t be that surprising.
This is one of several videos of this incident. Off camera there is a Ukrainian squad caught in a minefield with casualties. This is one of the medics coming to help them. At least two other who came to help got injured as well.
I noticed, no move for anything other then the tourniquet, was wondering if it's because the priority would be to get to a place where others can help? If so, where else can such individuals be found? Because that's some serious presence of mind/situation that will likely translate to most civilian activities in a most successful manner.
there was NOTHING else he could have done right there in that moment. He made the right decision to get inside the armored vehicle that brought him there as if was some sort of cover and probably could use help from other people.
This is just a small part to a bigger video. Im pretty sure the soldier was a medic. The APC was a medical one. The longer video shows at least 4 wounded soldiers lying in the mine field at least 3 more stepped on mines including the guy shown in this video trying to save the other wounded soldiers.

Amazing the composure of the soldier when he immediately goes into action attempting to save his own life.
Yeah, training kicked in. I would be screaming my head off...

All good points, and where was his brothers?
Poor guy, i hope he recovered well
He lost a leg, man, it could not be recovered 🤷
War is hell
the dude put his knee right on the button dear god people need to be more observant of their surroundings, battlefield, bullets flying or not...
I have no idea how this man had the wherewithal to immediately start treating himself after such a catastrophic trauma. I would've been completely incoherent.
The fact his leg still there is crazy thought it fully be blown off
Ohhhh my.....It took me too long to check this notification 😓😓😓That was insane
I’m guessing the guy was a medic (gloves, armbands) and was probably still in the initial shock so no pain just bleeding out rapidly, so his rapid use of the tourniquet shouldn’t be that surprising.
damn that guy did exactly what he needed to do... Im suprised that he wasnt ended right there.
Everyone is praising the guy that stepped on the landmine, but I think theres someone that did one better in this situation
This is one of several videos of this incident. Off camera there is a Ukrainian squad caught in a minefield with casualties. This is one of the medics coming to help them. At least two other who came to help got injured as well.
War is hell!
One others thing I would me thinking about pelvic injury.
He never turned the windless so I hope they got that fairly quick
He saved his own life with that tourniquet....well trained soldier but that leg is forever gone.
Schrecklich, aber wie er sofort seinen Beinstumpf abbindet, unglaublich. Ein Held.
AAre we gonna get a 4th of July special or a "how to treat burns and firework injuries" AAR?
He left his gun probably thinking f this war I can finally not fight anymore now that I lost my leg.
I noticed, no move for anything other then the tourniquet, was wondering if it's because the priority would be to get to a place where others can help? If so, where else can such individuals be found? Because that's some serious presence of mind/situation that will likely translate to most civilian activities in a most successful manner.
there was NOTHING else he could have done right there in that moment. He made the right decision to get inside the armored vehicle that brought him there as if was some sort of cover and probably could use help from other people.
It looks like he probably has other injuries. His whole body caught that blast. War sucks.
Ok - he was really cool about securing his wound. But who the hell is JUMPING out from Bradley on a mine field???
I like how a couple of people baled out to help!!!
They were in a minefield, ‘bailing out’ would have added to the carnage. The injured guy was probably also telling them to stay in the vehicle.
Where the hell are the mine sweeper mines are not new in this war. Dam poor dude. The right equipment makes all the difference.
Anyone got the link to the full video.
Bro his leg almost detached, there were a few myscles just having the leg and the body connected...
if you knew that this was a Russian soldier, you wouldn't have written this
Real
This is just a small part to a bigger video. Im pretty sure the soldier was a medic. The APC was a medical one. The longer video shows at least 4 wounded soldiers lying in the mine field at least 3 more stepped on mines including the guy shown in this video trying to save the other wounded soldiers.
