As a Chinese person, I'll help clarify some translations that Paul didn't quite understand: 1. @10:13 "Ponderp" is supposed to be Punjab (he said "旁遮普"), the subtitle is translated incorrectly. 2. @24:18 "Third line" is just Chinese colloquial for rear echelon, logistics. It's not that the RU army literally uses a three line system. 3. @34:42 Political officers in the PLA are military officers. Aside from political functions, their role is kind of like a co-commander or the deputy commander of a unit. 4. @35:33 what he said was "after the veterans have been depleted" (i.e., becoming casualties) 5. @36:23 what he said was not "base", but "strongpoint" 6. @36:31 what he said was "the recon drones will bring down shells." It's not clear if he's talking about the recon drones observing for the artillery or if the recon drones releasing onboard mortar shells. 7. @45:29 what he said was "as soon as a position is lost [by the Ukrainians], their drones would come."
I doubt anyone comes back from war and says it was a good experience, I'm pretty sure everyone especially in this war is going to come back and say how it was a awful experience and witnessed awfully things .
And that’s the most interesting point to me. China is allowing this video to go viral enough to be picked up by westerners and make a UA-cam star out of this guy. The same China that has an absolute an iron grip on its entire internet, let alone its social media. And this is happening when Russia could be on the brink of a turning point against them on the front lines. What with their summer offensive going all kinds of wrong and the Ukrainian F16’s about to come on line. China has been Russia’s economic lifeline, both legitimately through business and illegally, through sanctions busting and smuggling tech, etc. They could disappear this guy and all his output in a heartbeat, but they haven’t. The question is, why? Are they going for a shift in public perceptions of Russia in their own population? Preparing to withdraw their support as the tide of battle turns against Russia and China decides to save money and invest in western diplomacy? Or is this just a one off? Something the obtuse controllers of communications don’t perceive as being all that bad? Or that just slipped through the cracks and is about to get papered over? If we see more like this, it will mean something big.
I highly doubt it. The North Koreans would say I could finally eat some three square meals a day if you ever look at the North Korean soldiers almost all of them look malnourished
I saw an interview with an American kid who barely made it back to America after an American journalist helped him return home. It was just as brutal & he openly admits that his battalion were all proud Nazis. You can see this on Willy OAM's channel. I think they're all dead now & only he survived
Russia has recruited heaps of men from Nepal, there is an interview with wives of the men saying their husband died and they never heard back from Russia. The wives of the men claimed Russia never paid for their service once they died and they only found out about their husbands deaths through other Nepalese men.

Even Bangladeshi will find these living conditions sucks. Supply trucks are targets and you don't have porta toilets wherever you go. No evac helicopters or a medic following your 4 man squads. And the PLA guy is just cursing like any normal dude. But he appears to be still hanging tough from his demeanor. Look up conditions at the trenches in WW1. Nothing cool or romantic about war.
When he says the arty is weak he means the sound. Chinese artillery is powder heavy. Ours is more efficient. He's talking about how vigilant you have to be to hear it coming.
yeah what he meant was pretty obvious to everybody but the narrator. the word weak never came out of the Chinese guys mouth. think he has comprehension problems
@@ronalddavisNo, he said that the power is small, but he said that Polish mortars are dangerous because they can't hear the sound. These are two weapons.
I remember countless stories from veterans saying they didn't know they were hit until one of their buddies told them. Some guys lose limbs and don't realize it until they get up trying to walk on a leg that isn't there, or try picking up their rifle again, just to realize one of their hands or arms is gone.
My great-grandfather was in the landing force at Gallipoli… but got dysentery and was kept on a hospital ship when the invasion started. Dysentery probably saved his life given the losses there.
Lucky, My great uncle,actually two of them, one each from both sides of family, big strong healthy farming lads left AUS to go to Western Front. Neither came back like so many from our meagre population back then !!!
@rongallipoli7701 ''You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well'' told our precious leader Ataturk..
I had a friend that was captured in early 45 by American troops and sent to the US as a POW at 18yrs old. He said that he knew the instant he was captured that the war had been lost the day Hitler declared war on the US. He said the soldiers gave him and the other mobilized Hitler youth soldiers strawberry ice cream and canned pineapple like it was nothing. They were getting supplies from all the way around the world and the German army was starving. He said nothing broke the Germans morale like being gave ice cream 5 miles from the front line…..
Wars are won and lost by logistics. Of course, even with logistics on your side, your soldiers still have to have a good reason to fight. Something our government has never managed to learn. If your soldiers are demoralized, or they care less about winning than the enemy does, no amount of logistics will save you. We learned that in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Or, at least, we did, still not sure that our government got the message.
The Movie Battle of Bulge references that.. a captured U.S. soldier had a fresh chocolate cake on him. So the Germans knew the could not win. If US had so much fuel they could use it on cake how could they compete when they had to siphon fuel for tanks.
@THEROTTINGDOG You're thinking about and cherry picking the ones who had to be sent back to East Germany. Generally, most German soldier POWs were treated very well by the Americans, which is why there is very little real anti-American sentiment in Germany today.
Back in the day they would lose half their men to disease from just not keeping things clean. Using the bathroom next to the food supply, bloody bandages all over the place. That’s why military is so serious about keeping things clean!
As an American combat Veteran I can say that not going to the bathroom happens to not just the Russian soldiers 😂 lol. MREs will do a number on almost anyone's gut. I went 3 weeks without going to bathroom, and yes it is not fun lol
I think the issues with his guts were caused by concussive damage when he was hit by the bomb and thrown up on the roof. He talks about suffering a hemorrhage which is not something that normally occurs outside of physical trauma or some pretty specific serious GI problems. He likely has some sort of internal injury from the blast. Butter is not going to fix that.
I swear I didn't even have 1 solid bowel movement in Iraq. It was pretty much everyone in our platoon. Then, 1 time I ate some chicken from the locals. I had horrid painful diarrhea for 2 weeks.
There is truth to what George Patton said, " The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." and Russian soldiers sure are dying for Russia.
@@linmal2242 They're also burning up all the military equipment they stockpiled since WWII . They do not have the economy to replace all that gear in the next several generations.

@bradenchurch552 it's okay. Russia always had more women than men. Losing a lot of able young men will destroy them in the long run. Or will cause other races to assimilate them.
@@bradenchurch552 There is a limit to how much a people can grieve before they start to demand change. Wars are not only fought on the battlefields, They are also fought at home. Sending more soldiers to war only increases fear and grief at home. Everything has a limit. Body bags and coffins definitely have a limit.
Actually the problem with butter for him is not the fat but the lactose (milk suggar). Most Chinese adults are lactose intolerant, while most Europeans can consume milk products. Milk is a good subsitute for vitamine D. The human body produces vitamine D if it gets enough sunlight but during winter in the northern parts of Europe there isn´t enough sunlight, hence the ability to consume milk is an evolutionary benefit for "white" people.
@@TuanTran-h5f He said it was an evolutionary benefit for "White" people. He didn't say it wasn't an evolutionary benefit for Mongolians. East Asians are much more diverse than you might think. They are not all Mongolians😂.
Being Chinese, he may be lactose-intolerant. He may be suggesting that he consumed butter (a dairy product) in order to relieve the constipation he experienced from the food he has eaten during his time serving in the field with the Russian military; the butter would effectively serve as a laxative (the consumption of lactose-heavy foods would normally cause a lactose-intolerant person to experience diarrhea shortly afterwards) 😅
butter doesn't have lactose. He's actually right. High fat will act as lubricant for your gut and relief constipation. This guy's suggestion of jamming your system up with FIBER (indigestible material by definition) is RIDICULOUS and will only make the problem MUCH WORSE
@@andriiholyday5944 In another video, he mentioned that he found urban warfare exciting and wanted to experience it. So, he voluntarily joined the Russian army, but later discovered that urban warfare is very brutal. Some Chinese people just eat too much. In other videos, he revealed that his family is not lacking in money, and he doesn't send his wages back home; instead, he spends them on various food and drinks when he was in vacation.
His attitude is far better than most people we have seen fighting for Russia.He seems far,far better trained as well , due to this attitude.He speaks the truth about conditions for Russian service personnel . Here in Kharkiv, when we process Russian POW's one of the first things they say to their Families is have they been paid for their Service. They are always told no.Weeks or months pass and the answer is still no.When their families enquire about their Serviceman's pay, they are told "He left his position/Base etc without authority, so he won't be paid" or variations of the same theme.All their Commander that to do is to report them for a Failure of Duty ,and they don't get paid at all.Even worse, many of their Commanders steal their Soldiers pay ; if they get any at all ,and say they are "missing" etc . They fight against Ukraine for nothing in the end ,and die for nothing.
Sounds like usual soviet era state. From what I remember the soviet officers also confiscated money from soldiers when they occupied Czechoslovakia. That's why the underpaid/unpaid soldiers did petty thefts (missing chickens, food and alcohol) in places near army bases. It was known issue but until the culprint was caugt nothing happened. And when he was caught it often was his end. Hard to say if he was send to Soviet Union as prisoner/punishment or if he was executed. There was a lot of speculation about that.
That's probably why in the early days of the war, during the first invasion, all the Russians fleeing after the route were stealing the most random crap it seemed like... Washing machines, computers, and anything they could get their hands on. I don't see footage like that anymore, I don't think the Russians even get far enough in, and aren't going to escape with a washing machine alive any longer.
@@janbrandt9780 It's based in the Soviet era system where the system steals everything from everybody and everybody steals from the system to have something. You just gotta know how to steal without getting caught and whom you can steal from. If you steal above your rank or status, or if you get caught, you're done for. The best criminals graduate into oligarchs and arise to cushy Kreml office jobs. Many countries have mafia or organized crime. In Ruzzia, the organized crime has a country.
People talking about the short life expectancy fail to recognize that both sides are armed with weapons and equipment that allows them to locate and attack each other very quickly. Neither Russia or Ukraine are Iraq. They are armed to the teeth with all manner of high tech and potent weapons.
what the pla soldier was talking about is russian troops are not trained well and have very little experience. its why at the end of the video at LIA's Real Talk channel, he says they are hiding in a building, the 12 russians that came with them are dead. he said 12 more russians came but have no experience and poor training so they also died fast along with the guy from nepal. as we have seen here the pla soldier survives because he looks for cover to wait out the attack as other russian units just go in waves into machine gun fire and artillery and drones. even in avdiivka where the russias took the city with huge casualties, they were coming in numbers 15 to 1 to take avdiivka when ukraine was low on ammo. there is a video from the legion when they were in avdiivka, one guy says he was at a position and the russians were coming through some hole in the wall. the first guy saw him and tried to go back but the guys in the rear didnt and so they pushed him. he said he aimed center of mass and unloaded his heavy machine gun through the 3 guys. here is one example also of a video where 12 russians all walk closely down a dirt path and a ukrainian with a browning machine gun mows them all down. x.com/bayraktar_1love/status/1791472261783830601

And Russia isn’t even paying them. The best I’ve seen was an interview with a wife of a poor African-I forgot which country exactly but her husband went to Russia for the pay and Russian passports for his whole family if he survives a year. She was delighted that she had received a *partial* payment from Russia. Not the full amount, not the sign-on bonus, just part of the promised amount. She was delighted with what she could buy with the Russian money. Funnily enough there never was a follow up interview.
It is sad, but some are still enticed by the sum; perhaps there's also some signing bonus upfront. It's when they reach the front when they realise what they signed up for.
I watched a video on Telegram of a Russian staging warehouse close to the frontline with about 600 men and their commander briefing them minutes from being deployed to the front, in his final speech to his battalion he said these exact words to them, “everyone here will not come back alive, you will not die in vain, your bravery to fight for the motherland will be remembered for hundreds of years to come” I was blown away by that and it seems true now.
I think this guys info on casualties is highly suspect. It seem counter to many of the realities I have seen there, counter to the fact that the Russians keep gaining ground and keeping it, counter to the descriptions by foreign fighters who fought for Ukraine and gave interviews.
Wasted lives. I condemn the commander for lying to them. They are forgotten right now. I don't want to condemn the men, but how many of them bought into that garbage?
@@Tallow250 I saw that exact video on reddit some where. I couldn't believe the translation but a russian in the comments confirmed it. I don't understand why they don't fight back against their commanders etc.
The type of food should not be underestimated, just imagine being a European on vacation in India. you spend a lot of time on the toilet. And here you are not on vacation where you go to the pharmacy, no, you are sitting in the trenches and are being attacked with bombs and drones.
@@1DEADBEEF1 just because you like to do your business on the sidewalk, everybody else using a toilet. At least the hotels i went to all had toilets... or is it kind of failed racist "joke"?
Combat Veteran, i can explain how it works with the drones. First, im German so ill try to explain it in the finest english i can do. Second, German Veteran Here, im basing my knowledge from what ive personally learned and from what i heard from soldiers in Ukraine. Its pretty easy, its a Form of triangulation. The jamming only works in one direction, its a directional weapon, it works in Front of you basically in a funnel spreading from 0 to 60 degrees based ien you being the source. Of course you cant Jam Signals 360 degrees cause you would Jam your own communication and Equipment as well. So Imagine youre in a small 300 squarefeet forest, youre in a ditch or Bunker and place a Jammer in Front of your structure to Jam incoming drones. Its directed towards the enemy Frontline of course and working in the 60 degree Radius facing the enemy. Lets say it has a Räenge of 600 feet (based in what ive heard). I'll give an example for better understanding. You Shine a flashlight at night, it will only Work facing away from you and Light Up a specific area in Front of you. The light spreads in a lets say 60 degree Radius from your flashlight, coming from the Tip and then spreading Out. If you would Look from above IT would Look Like a 60 degree Triangle. Now youre a ukrainian Drone Operator and want to figure Out where the Russians are, so you sende a unit of 7 drones. 2 flying in Front, they fly parallel next to each other with 300 feet distance between them. Now the left drone Starts noticing its being jammed and gets Bad Signal, but doesnt crash. The right one doesnt get jammed. So you know now that in the left Side is a Jammer. So you move the drones parallel to the left Till the left drone is Out of the 60 degree funnel and the right one enters it. Now you know where the left and right borders are of the funnel the Jammer creates. So From that Data and the knowledge that the Jammers have a range of about 600 feet youll Look at the Terrain If Theres Something interesting within 600 feet range, a buildung, a forest, a hill, anything suspucious. If you found Something you intentionally fly your Drones in that direction and continously fly in and Out of the jamming Triangle. The funnel will narrow the closer you come to the Jammer. So you can precisely triangulate where the Jammer Stands. From basically drawing that Triangle on a map. Most of the Times the Drone Operators will already have a target aquired visually, that comes from the Operators experience and recon capabilities. So in your Drone unit the First 2 drones triangulate the target, further behind, far enough away from jamming, follow a couple more drones that are equiped with Explosives, they will than simply flank the Russians and avoid the jamming funnel. Its as simple as that. Oldest Military tactic there is. Recon and than flank the enemy. The huge Problem with jamming is, its basically a huge shining beacon for the enemy to See. Cause whenever Theres a jammed Signal, Theres a Jammer, wherever Theres a jammer, Somebody Put it there, usually to protect Something. So the question remains If IT would actually be smarter to Not Jam Signals when you are in a fortified Position. Cause that would force the enemy to rely in visual recon only and a Well camouflaged Bunker or arrillery would have more Chance to be Not Seen or overlooked when flying by. But with jamming you give your Location away 100%. Its Just a Matter If time than when the ukrainians sende some drones to end you. I Hope that was half way understandable despite my probably Bad english. For the interested of you, its basically the Same method as Radio triangulation, which is performed at least since WW2. Same principle Just with different Signals. And drones instead of Radio antennas.
great explanation; the flashlight analogy works perfectly, and can even be extended to express how shining a light reveals the user's position just as the jammer would, making them double edged. Your English is easily understood, there was only a minor error apparent to me. In the phrase, "Recon and _than_ flank the enemy." The word "than" is used for comparisons to show who or what something is compared against. The word "then" is appropriate in your example. ~Mache's gut
Maybe the Chinese guy is speaking about 30mm grenades which are meant to be fired from a grenade launcher. Sometimes when they are dropped by a drone, they do not seem to make huge explosion when they hit the ground.
@@Brasidas69 I've heard a few different Russians call the polish 60 mm mortars the bitch weapon because they are small and you don't hear em until it's way to late
@@Brasidas69 He's definitely talking about mortars. The Chinese words for mortar and grenade are different. Chinese mortars are predominantly 82mm and up. So, it's probably understandable why he thinks the 60mm used by Ukraine are comparatively weak.
The modern 60mm Polish mortars are really light things, meant for airborne and airmobile troops. They'd also probably be really good for mountain or alpine warfare. Shell weight and explosive payload is about half of a Chinese 82mm mortar, so I can see where he'd think they're weak.
I think that when he said that the Russian electronic interference would only affect the first 2 drones, he was referring to the strategy of getting the interference to lock the first frequency so that the following drones could use a different frequency to avoid being jammed. Very clever. I also suspect that Ukraine uses a large relay drone ‘queen’ which hovers behind the line to pass control signals to their killer drones below. This circumvents limitations caused by line-of-sight issues.
I think neither US nor chinese soldiers have been in a “proper” war since Vietnam. US soldiers that were deployed in afghanistan or iraq were not under the same artillery bombardement as soldiers currently in Ukraine. I don’t think there are any soldiers, of any army outside of Ukraine that knows how to behave in such circumstances. It all comes down to experience, training and good NCO’s. Remember, there is no air superiority. If you are attacked there is very little support; and then there are drones. This is WWI on steroids. The west must be more supportive. There should be no restrictions on western supplied equipment.
The US would have air superiority in any conflict. The US Navy's infantry forces have the 3rd largest airforce in the world. A the most recent modern conflict the US was in was Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The reason you don't think of it like Vietnam and Korea is because for the first time you see what it means to have completely uncontested air support and the backing of the entirety of NATO. Ukraine is able to maintain against Russia just on the weapons, training, and intelligence NATO gives them. This conflict wouldn't look anything like it does right now if NATO boots were on the ground. It would have been over already either by Russian withdrawal or nuclear war. If NATO was involved that 40km convoy on day 3 would have been erased and the war would have been over right there.
In WW2, put "ice cream barges" in your search engine, on Wikipedia, the U.S. Army paid a million 💵 each, for 4 of them in the Pacific, giving 1 to the Navy/Marine Corps, and could make 800 gallons of ice cream an hour, plus refrigeration/freezer space for tons of meat and other perishables. Was allegedly very demoralizing to the Japanese, they being short of, or out of basic supplies, including food.
16:31 Even Chinese customer appreciates light infantry mortar LMP-2017. He noticed that 60 mm mortar is quieter both while firing and in flight (no wheezing sound) compared to 82 mm used by Russia. It comes with a price of smaller weight of a grenade.
I speak mandarin, so it was very interesting to listen to the tone and emphasis which the translation doesn't bring through (along with the swearing emphasizing things). the reference to kamikaze drones was what the Russians call them, he later refers to them as suicide drone (they were the same thing).

The Chinese are going to get INVALUABLE intel from this war. Obviously everyone is learning what they can, but I feal China is poised to take the most advantage seeing as they are trying to make up the most ground. Its so interesting hearing this soldier speak. He just gives his opponent credit where he feels credit is due and is able to speak openly about the pitfalls of certain aspects of his own side. I wonder if he doesnt realize how strange it is that his own country would not allow such criticism?
Unfortunately the Chinese won't learn enough (war is bad and shouldn't be just "politics"), he praised the PLA and stated that PLA wouldn't desert their brothers during battle. Not sure that the message that every soldier has a breaking point and your bros might retreat without you (if wounded or out of contact) because soldiers are lasting 8 hours only.
@@sumotonyThe PLA also hasn't seen combat in living memory. So he has no idea how they'll do under fire when their officers are ordering meat waves forward.
You are absolutely correct. In 1979, 200,000 Chinese troops with 200 tanks invaded Vietnam. All those people who participated are long gone. The last fighting between Russia and China were skirmishes around 1999. The only experience recently was fighting locals in far off in western China. I saw a concrete highway with no traffic that was constructed to support tanks being transported to the fighting, which the Chinese won.
@@sumotony I think he is just being smart. The CCP could easily look at these guys suspiciously, having had left and not been under their thumb while also getting more military training and having access to information the CCP would normally be able to censor. So, that little statement just seems like a little "insurance" hoping that maybe it will be seen favorably and keep him in the Party's good graces or even maybe be his ticket to a good position if he is able to survive and make it back home.
He (at `20 min) says the Chinese army does not have a problem with desertion. How would he know? When did they last fight? (1979 when they invaded Vietnam)
They last fought failing to defend a UN refugee camp in... Sudan, was it? They fled to the center of the camp, letting the marauders have their way with the refugess.

Ukraine is dependent on other countries for literally everything. Today they wouldn't even have soldiers without foreigners flooding in with their own weapons.
Your point is kind of defunct IMO. They are using soldiers from other countries and nations too. But them being soldiers means little to nothing at all because these people join Russia as *Mercenaries* Russia isnt going over to china or anywhere else and force-conscripting the soldiers of those nations to fight for them. These people *TURN UP* in Russia to fight for Russia as a MERC. There is a huge difference. If you want to join the meat grinder for Russia, Putin isnt going to say no and tell you to go away. Its more of a boon for them as they dont have to send their own people in and its more bodies they can send in to advance or distract Ukraine. If one Merc kills one Ukrainian before he dies - thats a win in Putins book.
@@johnsaunders7257 I guess you dont know what it means to be Mercenary. Just because China man is there doesnt mean he's representing China or the PLA. When youre a Merc, Where youre from matters *VERY VERY VERY LITTLE* Putin isnt going to tell China man to go home. Winnie the pooh also didnt send China man to go fight in Russia. China man is there on his own accord and not representing his home country. China man wants money so he thought he would use his PLA skills as a mercenary in Ukraine. Your race doesnt mean shit when youre a mercenary. All that matters is that you do the job that youre paid to do, In this case fight in Ukraine. Hes not a _'Troop'_ he is a Merc. He was in the PLA but he isnt currently representing or affiliated with PLA. A mercenary from any country could be sent anywhere in the world to fight. that doesnt mean they are representing their home country, Depending on the mercenary group. The home country might even cancel his citizenship because they see the organisation he joined as a terrorist organisation. He's not there as part of China or the PLA.
A British soldier who fought in Iraq described how two soldiers in his unit failed in combat. One, a sergeant,refused to leave a building,and another didn’t fire a single shot even though he was under fire. Both were removed and left the army. (The book is ‘Sniper One’ and is an excellent read!)
You would be amazed at the amount of recs that freeze up in the middle of their first real combat drop.

18:39 Some light, easily portable infantry mortars are specifically designed to be extra-quiet when fired, such as the Rheinmetall Fly-K as well as the LGI Mle F1 from France. The new Polish LMP-2017 light infantry mortar is now being made available to Ukraine in considerable numbers. To my knowledge, the detailed specifications for the LMP-2017 are still restricted information. It is possible, even likely, that this man is referring to the LMP-2017 and that it may have a reduced sound signature when fired.

As a vet from your north, I've always wanted to see a direct side by side comparison of all the hard rations used... love the channel and your efforts!
I have never served in the Military. My Father joined the RAN (Aus Navy), in 1943 at 16yrs & 9mths. They only gave them 7wks basic training back then. Being raised on a farm, he was a good shot and took to naval life? Like a fish to water. He then received an additional 3wks "Specialised Training", as an Anti-Aircraft Gunner before eventually being assigned to a Corvette/Minesweeper as a multi-type Ordnance "Specialist". On the "Hedgehog", Bofors and Twin-Lewis Guns. He, along with my Uncles who also Served, in all Branches of the Australian Services. During WW2, Korea, Borneo/Malayan Anti-Communist Actions & Vietnam. During conversations past, with them. They all said, that due to the high degree of both Natural and Artificial Preservatives, added to military supplied foodstuffs? Constipation? Was a "Constant Companion"!!! During WW2, especially in "Camp Brisbane"!! Benzedrine, Morphine & Alcohol addiction, was "Rampant", which? Through a recognised side-effect? Stress!!! All lead to Constipation. The most common remedy for this? With Varying Success? Was a large Butter Intake, to get things moving again. Since Butter was Strictly Rationed, to both Civilians and Military Personnel? They had to buy the varying sufficient amount? On the very established, organised, supplied and Run! Black Market!!!
I think that you should let the videos play out longer instead of stopping them after every sentence or two. By stopping them constantly, the context gets lost. I like to hear what the soldiers are saying and would like to get through a whole segment. Then discuss the content. This is all respectful constructive criticism. I enjoy your channel and continue to follow you. And thank you for your service.
@@A.J.Raffles Only partially. More of it is in Asia than Europe. Part of it is in the continent of Europe, but it is not part of the European Union....
@@photostockcanada Not in EU for sure, and not even in the "European community" of countries. They are culturally different, and their imperialistic, aggressive geopolitics keeps driving ever increasing rift between Ruzzia and Europe; they might as well be on another continent. It's the new iron curtain. They've made it very clear they want nothing to do with western countries and culture, which means pretty much every country in Europe, except maybe Belarus, and some remote areas in eastern Europe, like Transnistria. Yet, for some peculiar reason they are very keen to conquer Ukraine and surround themselves with even more NATO countries, even though they "hate" everything western. Oh, the jealousy.
He said the artilery they use themselves is weak, then switched back and forth comparing nato and soviet making the story confusing, but he said the soviet stuff is weak and the new nato/polish stuff is silent and deadly.
Russian speaker here with a few clarifications. "Biceka" is most likely "ptichka," "птичка," Russian for "little bird" (like in Spanish pajarito from pájaro, same logic). With Kamikaze, Russians pronounce it basically the same way as Japanese, I suspect the whole "gamigazi" is coming from literal translation of Chinese subtitles where K is transliterated with G.
Most likely lactose, butter, milk products, etc. While its perfectly good for white europeans, many different parts of the world are intolerant for it. Its just dumb how they never decided to change his rations for something different.
That's exactly why he's complaining. Chinese people love their food and thus they've developed one of the most diverse and elaborate cuisines in the world. Eastern European food is just not cutting for them. Too much milk products, pickled everything, bland tasteless porridge, the rest is just potatoes and cabbages, a complete lack of spices. Add to that a military grade rations are of worse quality than almost anything a civilian market could offer. Chinese and Russian cuisines share very little in common. I'm from Russia and I love our food but I admit I've grown to love it since I was born eating it.
Constipation: dried fruits (prunes, apples, dates, whatever dried) or fresh pomegranates. A single pomegranate every 2nd day solves my issues. Instead of sweets I try to eat dried fruits - I have a serious sugar addiction on the side 😢.
Not even close considering that probably millions die daily in the Imperial Guard……….. unless you are talking about the French Imperial Guard of the Napoleonic era………. Then definitely not……
Im not 100% sure on this, but the leading drone/expl drone tactic is an amalgamation of "Poobah's Party". Named after a General in Desert Storm. As for the technological methodologies used, id have to dig deeper, as it falls into the "tech" side of unconventional warfare (ie: the technology is adapted from consumer/prosumer electronics and design principles as opposed to those found in conventional). Fascinating content from this video and this mans story. Subbed!
Got my hip replaced last fall, was in hospital for six days, and nearly starved to death, because the food was so awful it was inedible. Couldn't eat, could not sleep, and they never washed me. I went home to take care of myself!
the last time i in the hospital in ICU they had the monator set to alarm if my pluse rate went below 60 BPM. I have bradycardia and when i go to sleep my heart rate dropsto below 50 BPM and the alarm would go off and wake me. after about 5 days of no sleep i was going nuts. i spent about 4 months in the hospital but luckly i was sent to a regular care ward without being hooked to a heart monator.

It is far, far worse for the Russians in Ukraine than for the US in Vietnam. Russia has lost more soldiers in Ukraine than the US in ALL of their wars since 1945 combined!

As a German I know that Europe ends at the Ural mountains, that makes Russia the largest European country by both territory and population.

Its ultimately a developed country with European style architecture and a rich history. Up until very recently, the west was obviously the better place to migrate to but unrestricted migration with no regards to filtering out bad apples has turned west Europe from the height of human civilization and culture to dystopian, slum riddled places where the previous high trust society has been utterly annihilated. Russia also faces crime issues from muslim central asian migrants but they deal with criminals in appropriately brutal fashion.
if you know chinese at all. it is called gamigazi as that's the chinese pronunciation for kamikaze. "Gamigazi" is not russian. that's the pinyin for the chinese word. it's just the translation couldn't translate that.
Wow, I understand about the adrenaline, I lost the front half of my leg from Nani down.Didn't realize it right away, Took a while. Lost a lot of blood. By the time I got medicala tension, I was fortunate. There was a Korean Doctor there. Save my life, put me back together.
You are so wrong on many things I don’t know where to begin. The foreign soldiers that have volunteered to fight for Russia will get a Russian passport. There is no such thing as a European passport. They will not get a European Union passport because Russia isn’t in the European Union.
I know, right? Foreigners can't just volunteer and go forth lol. So, Chinese, Koreans, Indians, Africans... Speaking ZERO Russian, are grouped together... Speaking no common language... Ffs... This is a stupid propaganda spin that is hilariously done.

In the British army, we used a lot of these bland biscuits for infantry soldier rations, which are known to cause constipation. This is by design and they are known as "bung-up buscuits". The idea is you can't feed those soldiers in high-risk zones, you can at least fight off the effects of hunger.
I am not sure, but how imagine the lead drone working very simple: many smaller drone jammers only cover a smaller frequency range. So you send one or two recon drones in different band width. If the "sacrifical" lead drone looses signal, you essentially know what frequency range is jammed. If it doesn't, you know you are good to go. Then you follow with a small swarm in a frequency range that's not currently covered. The simple equation is: the more frequencies at a time and the wider the reach of a jammer, the more expensive a jammer.
Paul I think what happens is the Russians use signal jammers that are directed like a gun, so they jam the first couple but don’t have more jammers to jam the others. I’ve seen videos of these “jamming guns” before.
they also have jamming plates for tanks and jamming backpacks like usa, but the problem is you cant jam all the signals all the time, so its cat and mouse game to catch each others frequencies. Unless very HUGE EM systems are in place, which can jam singals at 3-5km radius. But these are rare. Anyway it feels that the "gun" has a lot better focused beam/jamming stuff so it might work on more types of drones/signals/ even the EM resistant ones maybe. While the "aoe" systems can fail or get too expensive, no idea. Cause the gun feels so much worse, than an actual aoe signal jammer.
Can you imagine being in a small room and don't even know where the enemy is, but THEN you here an armed drone starts pecking at a window trying to get in and kill you. Perhaps 2 at 2 windows........ Nightmare fuel.
It feels so weird with social media now. You hear Russian soldiers and Chinese soldiers talk and of course they sound just like any other person lol. The Chinese guy definately knows what kamikaze is lol. 15 million Chinese people massacred in WW2 by the Japanese. Something they don't recognize or have ever even apologized for lol. When he does the sound effects and all of that. It's just sad. If WW3 broke out. How long, with internet, could we all stay separated and not communicating and be unable to meta-dehumanize the enemy? And really for what? I've never been to China but a friend whose traveled there says while white people are looked at in some cities it's because you're rare. China has a lot of incredible culture. As does Russia. Just makes me sad. The Chinese are a lot less predisposed to hate us. So I'm really curious, without all of the consent that was manufactured before Iraq. And the ability to tweet at the enemy. How many people would really be able to shoot to kill? I know I wouldn't. There would be so many memes back and forth. This dude is just like us. We really are all just dying for the wealthy to stay wealthy while social mobility almost is impossible. China makes more billionaires than America now. I cant imagine how the young and lower class in China all feel.
@36:30 when he walks about recon and Kamikaze drones. I think what he means is if you see a recon drone is near, it is not so bad as that does not necessarily mean they are after you, but if you see a kamikaze drone, the enemy already know where you are and have marked you as a target.
It's very common in chinese culture to talk about pooping. People will regularly bring up as the first topic upon seeing you that they have diarrhea, just a normal thing to discuss.
@40:19, 'a few dozen sq metres a day': so are we talking 12 to 36 sq metres / day? A room might be as small as 3m x 3m (probably smaller) but lets say thats 9 sq m. 4 rooms would be 36 sq m. Do you really mean gaining 1 or 2 houses only? Which seems vastly different than a linear movement of 100 m ‘forward’ (probably up to a few square kilometres)
"Our chinese servicemen are like brothers in life and death" Thats a little rich considering China hasn't had soldiers in a major conflict since 1979. How does he know how they would react under pressure? You have to have something to run away from before you run away. Such troublesome thoughts are best left un-thunk in China if you don't want to be flagged as an undesirable.
@@taysondynastyemperor5124 There was border skirmishing later than that too, so it comes down to where you draw the line of a "major conflict". 1979 is when the sino-vietnamese war is generally recognized as having ended - but it's fair enough if you want to include that.
@@gavins9846 That was kind of my point. Any infantry put in the same scenario would be having big problems with morale and desertion in the hellhole that is the current Ukraine war.
The ex PLA soldier wording suggested lack of Close Street fighting training. Now America, UK and other Western countries have been fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mali, etc gaing real combat experience evolving techniques, weapons, tactics and equipment at a practical leaving teaching the recruits them. Now China has not been directly in combat for decades, in a system that's corrupt so they may march well in parades, look good on paper, are the Chinese Armed forces getting the relevant training or has it been planned but due to "Cost Cutting" it never happened?
I'm sure we are learning something about drones, but otherwise? Americans MO is pound the enemy from the skies and also from the sea if that's possible. If we somehow couldn't get air superiority we'd be in as much trouble as any other country. America is becoming increasingly authoritarian, but I think it would have trouble losing as much as Russia is and still continuing a war. The fact that we never attacked Iran despite Israel pushing us to shows that taking on even a mid sized country with a decent military may be a lot harder than people think.
😂Lol you guys havent really fought against an opponents that could strike advanced missile against you lol. Fighting against AK 47 and having the air support lol
Mate, America isn't going to fare any better in a war. You dont exactly treat your vets well (even vilify them if they happen to be conservative white males) so most of the badasses that fought the war on terror are disillusioned or suffering homelessness/ptsd and will not be coming back to fight any new wars. I shudder to think how badly Americas new DEI army will get slaughtered.

I think when he says weak about the mortars, he means weak/low sound, talking about how silent they are.
What he said is Punjab, India
Panjshir India is what he's talking about regarding the Indians..
As a Chinese person, I'll help clarify some translations that Paul didn't quite understand:
1. @10:13 "Ponderp" is supposed to be Punjab (he said "旁遮普"), the subtitle is translated incorrectly.
2. @24:18 "Third line" is just Chinese colloquial for rear echelon, logistics. It's not that the RU army literally uses a three line system.
3. @34:42 Political officers in the PLA are military officers. Aside from political functions, their role is kind of like a co-commander or the deputy commander of a unit.
4. @35:33 what he said was "after the veterans have been depleted" (i.e., becoming casualties)
5. @36:23 what he said was not "base", but "strongpoint"
6. @36:31 what he said was "the recon drones will bring down shells." It's not clear if he's talking about the recon drones observing for the artillery or if the recon drones releasing onboard mortar shells.
7. @45:29 what he said was "as soon as a position is lost [by the Ukrainians], their drones would come."
Thanks for taking the trouble to clarify.

Next north Koreans gonna come back from helping Russia saying it was a bad experience 😂 then you know it's bad
I doubt anyone comes back from war and says it was a good experience, I'm pretty sure everyone especially in this war is going to come back and say how it was a awful experience and witnessed awfully things .
And that’s the most interesting point to me. China is allowing this video to go viral enough to be picked up by westerners and make a UA-cam star out of this guy. The same China that has an absolute an iron grip on its entire internet, let alone its social media. And this is happening when Russia could be on the brink of a turning point against them on the front lines. What with their summer offensive going all kinds of wrong and the Ukrainian F16’s about to come on line.
China has been Russia’s economic lifeline, both legitimately through business and illegally, through sanctions busting and smuggling tech, etc. They could disappear this guy and all his output in a heartbeat, but they haven’t. The question is, why?
Are they going for a shift in public perceptions of Russia in their own population? Preparing to withdraw their support as the tide of battle turns against Russia and China decides to save money and invest in western diplomacy? Or is this just a one off? Something the obtuse controllers of communications don’t perceive as being all that bad? Or that just slipped through the cracks and is about to get papered over?
If we see more like this, it will mean something big.
I highly doubt it. The North Koreans would say I could finally eat some three square meals a day if you ever look at the North Korean soldiers almost all of them look malnourished
I saw an interview with an American kid who barely made it back to America after an American journalist helped him return home. It was just as brutal & he openly admits that his battalion were all proud Nazis. You can see this on Willy OAM's channel. I think they're all dead now & only he survived
They'll just claim they helped and throw a parade celebrating
Russia has recruited heaps of men from Nepal, there is an interview with wives of the men saying their husband died and they never heard back from Russia. The wives of the men claimed Russia never paid for their service once they died and they only found out about their husbands deaths through other Nepalese men.

They were getting supplies from all the way around the world and the German army was starving. He said nothing broke the Germans morale like being gave ice cream 5 miles from the front line…..
Wars are won and lost by logistics. Of course, even with logistics on your side, your soldiers still have to have a good reason to fight. Something our government has never managed to learn. If your soldiers are demoralized, or they care less about winning than the enemy does, no amount of logistics will save you. We learned that in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Or, at least, we did, still not sure that our government got the message.
The Movie Battle of Bulge references that.. a captured U.S. soldier had a fresh chocolate cake on him. So the Germans knew the could not win. If US had so much fuel they could use it on cake how could they compete when they had to siphon fuel for tanks.

I think the issues with his guts were caused by concussive damage when he was hit by the bomb and thrown up on the roof. He talks about suffering a hemorrhage which is not something that normally occurs outside of physical trauma or some pretty specific serious GI problems. He likely has some sort of internal injury from the blast. Butter is not going to fix that.
I swear I didn't even have 1 solid bowel movement in Iraq. It was pretty much everyone in our platoon. Then, 1 time I ate some chicken from the locals. I had horrid painful diarrhea for 2 weeks.

Actually the problem with butter for him is not the fat but the lactose (milk suggar). Most Chinese adults are lactose intolerant, while most Europeans can consume milk products.
Milk is a good subsitute for vitamine D. The human body produces vitamine D if it gets enough sunlight but during winter in the northern parts of Europe there isn´t enough sunlight, hence the ability to consume milk is an evolutionary benefit for "white" people.

Being Chinese, he may be lactose-intolerant. He may be suggesting that he consumed butter (a dairy product) in order to relieve the constipation he experienced from the food he has eaten during his time serving in the field with the Russian military; the butter would effectively serve as a laxative (the consumption of lactose-heavy foods would normally cause a lactose-intolerant person to experience diarrhea shortly afterwards) 😅

His attitude is far better than most people we have seen fighting for Russia.He seems far,far better trained as well , due to this attitude.He speaks the truth about conditions for Russian service personnel . Here in Kharkiv, when we process Russian POW's one of the first things they say to their Families is have they been paid for their Service. They are always told no.Weeks or months pass and the answer is still no.When their families enquire about their Serviceman's pay, they are told "He left his position/Base etc without authority, so he won't be paid" or variations of the same theme.All their Commander that to do is to report them for a Failure of Duty ,and they don't get paid at all.Even worse, many of their Commanders steal their Soldiers pay ; if they get any at all ,and say they are "missing" etc . They fight against Ukraine for nothing in the end ,and die for nothing.
Sounds like usual soviet era state. From what I remember the soviet officers also confiscated money from soldiers when they occupied Czechoslovakia. That's why the underpaid/unpaid soldiers did petty thefts (missing chickens, food and alcohol) in places near army bases. It was known issue but until the culprint was caugt nothing happened. And when he was caught it often was his end. Hard to say if he was send to Soviet Union as prisoner/punishment or if he was executed. There was a lot of speculation about that.
That's probably why in the early days of the war, during the first invasion, all the Russians fleeing after the route were stealing the most random crap it seemed like... Washing machines, computers, and anything they could get their hands on. I don't see footage like that anymore, I don't think the Russians even get far enough in, and aren't going to escape with a washing machine alive any longer.
@@janbrandt9780 It's based in the Soviet era system where the system steals everything from everybody and everybody steals from the system to have something.

People talking about the short life expectancy fail to recognize that both sides are armed with weapons and equipment that allows them to locate and attack each other very quickly.
Neither Russia or Ukraine are Iraq. They are armed to the teeth with all manner of high tech and potent weapons.
Which is what makes the Russian tactics of marching men over an open field or armor in a column even stupider
@@jeffersonclippership2588go command the ruzzkies then, Don’t tell the enemy they’re mistakes.
Ppl cheerleading both sides are too dense to realize that
Iraq had a modern army at the time and weren't fighting the Ukraine.
what the pla soldier was talking about is russian troops are not trained well and have very little experience. its why at the end of the video at LIA's Real Talk channel, he says they are hiding in a building, the 12 russians that came with them are dead. he said 12 more russians came but have no experience and poor training so they also died fast along with the guy from nepal. as we have seen here the pla soldier survives because he looks for cover to wait out the attack as other russian units just go in waves into machine gun fire and artillery and drones.
even in avdiivka where the russias took the city with huge casualties, they were coming in numbers 15 to 1 to take avdiivka when ukraine was low on ammo.
there is a video from the legion when they were in avdiivka, one guy says he was at a position and the russians were coming through some hole in the wall. the first guy saw him and tried to go back but the guys in the rear didnt and so they pushed him. he said he aimed center of mass and unloaded his heavy machine gun through the 3 guys.
here is one example also of a video where 12 russians all walk closely down a dirt path and a ukrainian with a browning machine gun mows them all down.

Fighting for a country that is not yours for $2000.00 dollars a month is not worth it.
It's kinda sad
As vezes o cara só ta querendo um visto europeu, como ele falou no começo do vídeo, no Brasil as coisas são complicadas mas tem muito país pior que o nosso.
And Russia isn’t even paying them. The best I’ve seen was an interview with a wife of a poor African-I forgot which country exactly but her husband went to Russia for the pay and Russian passports for his whole family if he survives a year. She was delighted that she had received a *partial* payment from Russia.
Not the full amount, not the sign-on bonus, just part of the promised amount. She was delighted with what she could buy with the Russian money. Funnily enough there never was a follow up interview.
That's crazy. A full time American minimum wage worker (such as McDonald's) makes more than $2K a month.
It is sad, but some are still enticed by the sum; perhaps there's also some signing bonus upfront. It's when they reach the front when they realise what they signed up for.
I watched a video on Telegram of a Russian staging warehouse close to the frontline with about 600 men and their commander briefing them minutes from being deployed to the front, in his final speech to his battalion he said these exact words to them, “everyone here will not come back alive, you will not die in vain, your bravery to fight for the motherland will be remembered for hundreds of years to come” I was blown away by that and it seems true now.
I think this guys info on casualties is highly suspect. It seem counter to many of the realities I have seen there, counter to the fact that the Russians keep gaining ground and keeping it, counter to the descriptions by foreign fighters who fought for Ukraine and gave interviews.

Combat Veteran, i can explain how it works with the drones. First, im German so ill try to explain it in the finest english i can do. Second, German Veteran Here, im basing my knowledge from what ive personally learned and from what i heard from soldiers in Ukraine. Its pretty easy, its a Form of triangulation.
The jamming only works in one direction, its a directional weapon, it works in Front of you basically in a funnel spreading from 0 to 60 degrees based ien you being the source. Of course you cant Jam Signals 360 degrees cause you would Jam your own communication and Equipment as well.
So Imagine youre in a small 300 squarefeet forest, youre in a ditch or Bunker and place a Jammer in Front of your structure to Jam incoming drones. Its directed towards the enemy Frontline of course and working in the 60 degree Radius facing the enemy. Lets say it has a Räenge of 600 feet (based in what ive heard).
I'll give an example for better understanding. You Shine a flashlight at night, it will only Work facing away from you and Light Up a specific area in Front of you. The light spreads in a lets say 60 degree Radius from your flashlight, coming from the Tip and then spreading Out. If you would Look from above IT would Look Like a 60 degree Triangle.
Now youre a ukrainian Drone Operator and want to figure Out where the Russians are, so you sende a unit of 7 drones. 2 flying in Front, they fly parallel next to each other with 300 feet distance between them. Now the left drone Starts noticing its being jammed and gets Bad Signal, but doesnt crash. The right one doesnt get jammed. So you know now that in the left Side is a Jammer. So you move the drones parallel to the left Till the left drone is Out of the 60 degree funnel and the right one enters it. Now you know where the left and right borders are of the funnel the Jammer creates. So From that Data and the knowledge that the Jammers have a range of about 600 feet youll Look at the Terrain If Theres Something interesting within 600 feet range, a buildung, a forest, a hill, anything suspucious. If you found Something you intentionally fly your Drones in that direction and continously fly in and Out of the jamming Triangle. The funnel will narrow the closer you come to the Jammer. So you can precisely triangulate where the Jammer Stands. From basically drawing that Triangle on a map. Most of the Times the Drone Operators will already have a target aquired visually, that comes from the Operators experience and recon capabilities.
So in your Drone unit the First 2 drones triangulate the target, further behind, far enough away from jamming, follow a couple more drones that are equiped with Explosives, they will than simply flank the Russians and avoid the jamming funnel.
Its as simple as that. Oldest Military tactic there is. Recon and than flank the enemy.
The huge Problem with jamming is, its basically a huge shining beacon for the enemy to See. Cause whenever Theres a jammed Signal, Theres a Jammer, wherever Theres a jammer, Somebody Put it there, usually to protect Something.
So the question remains If IT would actually be smarter to Not Jam Signals when you are in a fortified Position. Cause that would force the enemy to rely in visual recon only and a Well camouflaged Bunker or arrillery would have more Chance to be Not Seen or overlooked when flying by. But with jamming you give your Location away 100%. Its Just a Matter If time than when the ukrainians sende some drones to end you.
I Hope that was half way understandable despite my probably Bad english.
For the interested of you, its basically the Same method as Radio triangulation, which is performed at least since WW2. Same principle Just with different Signals. And drones instead of Radio antennas.
great explanation; the flashlight analogy works perfectly, and can even be extended to express how shining a light reveals the user's position just as the jammer would, making them double edged.
Your English is easily understood, there was only a minor error apparent to me. In the phrase, "Recon and _than_ flank the enemy."
The word "than" is used for comparisons to show who or what something is compared against. The word "then" is appropriate in your example.

Polish mortars are probably the 60mm ones that were delivered by Poland in large quantities
Maybe the Chinese guy is speaking about 30mm grenades which are meant to be fired from a grenade launcher. Sometimes when they are dropped by a drone, they do not seem to make huge explosion when they hit the ground.
@@Brasidas69 I've heard a few different Russians call the polish 60 mm mortars the bitch weapon because they are small and you don't hear em until it's way to late
@@Brasidas69 He's definitely talking about mortars. The Chinese words for mortar and grenade are different. Chinese mortars are predominantly 82mm and up. So, it's probably understandable why he thinks the 60mm used by Ukraine are comparatively weak.
The modern 60mm Polish mortars are really light things, meant for airborne and airmobile troops. They'd also probably be really good for mountain or alpine warfare. Shell weight and explosive payload is about half of a Chinese 82mm mortar, so I can see where he'd think they're weak.
60 mm LM-60 mortar or LM-60K used by special forces
I think that when he said that the Russian electronic interference would only affect the first 2 drones, he was referring to the strategy of getting the interference to lock the first frequency so that the following drones could use a different frequency to avoid being jammed. Very clever. I also suspect that Ukraine uses a large relay drone ‘queen’ which hovers behind the line to pass control signals to their killer drones below. This circumvents limitations caused by line-of-sight issues.
I think neither US nor chinese soldiers have been in a “proper” war since Vietnam. US soldiers that were deployed in afghanistan or iraq were not under the same artillery bombardement as soldiers currently in Ukraine. I don’t think there are any soldiers, of any army outside of Ukraine that knows how to behave in such circumstances. It all comes down to experience, training and good NCO’s. Remember, there is no air superiority. If you are attacked there is very little support; and then there are drones.
This is WWI on steroids.
The west must be more supportive. There should be no restrictions on western supplied equipment.
The United States would not be exchanging Artillery anyway.
The USA drops bomb from Airplanes, Artillery is WWI tactics!
The US would have air superiority in any conflict. The US Navy's infantry forces have the 3rd largest airforce in the world.
A the most recent modern conflict the US was in was Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The reason you don't think of it like Vietnam and Korea is because for the first time you see what it means to have completely uncontested air support and the backing of the entirety of NATO.
Ukraine is able to maintain against Russia just on the weapons, training, and intelligence NATO gives them.
This conflict wouldn't look anything like it does right now if NATO boots were on the ground. It would have been over already either by Russian withdrawal or nuclear war.
If NATO was involved that 40km convoy on day 3 would have been erased and the war would have been over right there.
The Chinese fought the Vietnamese in a border war in 1979. That ended badly for them.
Every war is different and everybody's experances of war is different.
Idk why you jump to us continuing to go bankrupt supporting this wholesale slaughter. 🤡
In WW2, put "ice cream barges" in your search engine, on Wikipedia, the U.S. Army paid a million 💵 each, for 4 of them in the Pacific, giving 1 to the Navy/Marine Corps, and could make 800 gallons of ice cream an hour, plus refrigeration/freezer space for tons of meat and other perishables. Was allegedly very demoralizing to the Japanese, they being short of, or out of basic supplies, including food.

16:31 Even Chinese customer appreciates light infantry mortar LMP-2017.
He noticed that 60 mm mortar is quieter both while firing and in flight (no wheezing sound) compared to 82 mm used by Russia. It comes with a price of smaller weight of a grenade.
Polish new mortars have been tuned during design to make no sound to increase efficiency

The Chinese are going to get INVALUABLE intel from this war. Obviously everyone is learning what they can, but I feal China is poised to take the most advantage seeing as they are trying to make up the most ground.
Its so interesting hearing this soldier speak. He just gives his opponent credit where he feels credit is due and is able to speak openly about the pitfalls of certain aspects of his own side. I wonder if he doesnt realize how strange it is that his own country would not allow such criticism?
Unfortunately the Chinese won't learn enough (war is bad and shouldn't be just "politics"), he praised the PLA and stated that PLA wouldn't desert their brothers during battle. Not sure that the message that every soldier has a breaking point and your bros might retreat without you (if wounded or out of contact) because soldiers are lasting 8 hours only.
@@sumotonyThe PLA also hasn't seen combat in living memory. So he has no idea how they'll do under fire when their officers are ordering meat waves forward.
You are absolutely correct. In 1979, 200,000 Chinese troops with 200 tanks invaded Vietnam. All those people who participated are long gone. The last fighting between Russia and China were skirmishes around 1999. The only experience recently was fighting locals in far off in western China. I saw a concrete highway with no traffic that was constructed to support tanks being transported to the fighting, which the Chinese won.
@@sumotony I think he is just being smart. The CCP could easily look at these guys suspiciously, having had left and not been under their thumb while also getting more military training and having access to information the CCP would normally be able to censor. So, that little statement just seems like a little "insurance" hoping that maybe it will be seen favorably and keep him in the Party's good graces or even maybe be his ticket to a good position if he is able to survive and make it back home.

Russia complains other countries help Ukraine while they are using Chinese soldiers 😂
Ukraine is dependent on other countries for literally everything. Today they wouldn't even have soldiers without foreigners flooding in with their own weapons.
Your point is kind of defunct IMO.
They are using soldiers from other countries and nations too. But them being soldiers means little to nothing at all because these people join Russia as *Mercenaries*
Russia isnt going over to china or anywhere else and force-conscripting the soldiers of those nations to fight for them. These people *TURN UP* in Russia to fight for Russia as a MERC.
There is a huge difference. If you want to join the meat grinder for Russia, Putin isnt going to say no and tell you to go away. Its more of a boon for them as they dont have to send their own people in and its more bodies they can send in to advance or distract Ukraine.

I think he's talking about the unique Polish RAK 120 MORTAR CARRIER as being quiet, they have been deployed to Ukraine
That's worse than the Imperial Guard!
Not even close considering that probably millions die daily in the Imperial Guard……….. unless you are talking about the French Imperial Guard of the Napoleonic era………. Then definitely not……
Omg they even have commissars still I'm pretty sure 😂
At least they're not turned into corpse starch... AFAIK...
Dammit beat me to the joke.
Hahahaha I came in here to make this joke, and you beat me to it.
Im not 100% sure on this, but the leading drone/expl drone tactic is an amalgamation of "Poobah's Party". Named after a General in Desert Storm. As for the technological methodologies used, id have to dig deeper, as it falls into the "tech" side of unconventional warfare (ie: the technology is adapted from consumer/prosumer electronics and design principles as opposed to those found in conventional). Fascinating content from this video and this mans story. Subbed!
Got my hip replaced last fall, was in hospital for six days, and nearly starved to death, because the food was so awful it was inedible. Couldn't eat, could not sleep, and they never washed me. I went home to take care of myself!
the last time i in the hospital in ICU they had the monator set to alarm if my pluse rate went below 60 BPM.
I have bradycardia and when i go to sleep my heart rate dropsto below 50 BPM and the alarm would go off and wake me.
after about 5 days of no sleep i was going nuts. i spent about 4 months in the hospital but luckly i was sent to a regular care ward without being hooked to a heart monator.
Jeez like billions of drone videos and people still sign a contract with Russian Armed Forces
Their social media algorithms show them the opposite pov Something worth keeping in mind
lol don’t believe everything you hear or see.. Russian army knows what they’re doing. If you ask Americans they’ll say Russian army are a bunch of drunks with old weapons. So why are they winning the war??
There are also billiona of videos about ukrainian soldiers being picked left and right yet they dont show you those..and for a good reason
@@u2beuser714 both sides try and block information from becoming known. Both sides are getting fcked
@@u2beuser714 theres billions more of Russians soldiers getting picked off. Russia showed the same destroyed Bradley and Abrams over and over from different camera views don't always believe what the Kremlin feeds you they are pros at filming the same thing over and over claiming it's a different loss.
Sounds like this is going to be Russia's Vietnam.
In addition to Russia's other Vietnam....Afghanistan.
It is far, far worse for the Russians in Ukraine than for the US in Vietnam.
Russia has lost more soldiers in Ukraine than the US in ALL of their wars since 1945 combined!
Afghanistan on steroids on Red Bull.
@@hootowl6354and with strike Gum at the same time! 😂

Would you really call a Russian Federation passport "European"? Or maybe the people who take that deal still imagine it is one.
As a German I know that Europe ends at the Ural mountains, that makes Russia the largest European country by both territory and population.
What baffles me is that that some Russians claimed to be ethnic Germans in the 90s to be allowed into Germany and 30 years later they still speak only Russian at home and support Putler.
@@A.J.Raffles Five largest cities? There is London, which used to be in EU, Moscow, Leningrad, Istanbul, large parts of it are in Asia, what is your fifth? Depending on how you count, Paris is the second largest city in Europe after Moscow and before London.
@@BlauKraut-gg5iu Well, I would be supporting Putin if I were German to be fair mate, we just UK and US destroyed your economy (and not even mentioning Nord Stream...)

Good thing you are not German then, but you obviously are supporting Putler anyway, Arschloch!
I know UK and USA are not really our friends, but they are not foes either.
Erick el Rojo, wtf does that even mean? Do you imagine yourself as some sort of commie Latino Viking?
Never ever could I take the side of war criminal Putler.
Its ultimately a developed country with European style architecture and a rich history. Up until very recently, the west was obviously the better place to migrate to but unrestricted migration with no regards to filtering out bad apples has turned west Europe from the height of human civilization and culture to dystopian, slum riddled places where the previous high trust society has been utterly annihilated.
Russia also faces crime issues from muslim central asian migrants but they deal with criminals in appropriately brutal fashion.
I watched this interview somewhere else and he said you cannot trust anyone there , it’s a hell hole and the stench is terrible
if you know chinese at all. it is called gamigazi as that's the chinese pronunciation for kamikaze. "Gamigazi" is not russian. that's the pinyin for the chinese word. it's just the translation couldn't translate that.
What is the Chinese word? Neither 神風 or 自杀性攻击 is "gamagazi"?

Seen the original with subtitles. I prefer that over the commentaries.
I first took "along for the ride" to mean he was there, so far out of his depth and useless that he contributed nothing.
You are so wrong on many things I don’t know where to begin. The foreign soldiers that have volunteered to fight for Russia will get a Russian passport. There is no such thing as a European passport. They will not get a European Union passport because Russia isn’t in the European Union.
I know, right? Foreigners can't just volunteer and go forth lol.
So, Chinese, Koreans, Indians, Africans... Speaking ZERO Russian, are grouped together... Speaking no common language...
Ffs... This is a stupid propaganda spin that is hilariously done.
Lei said the other day she’d post this video translated. It was on Webo I think. She said this Chinese military guy fighting for RU posts a lot of videos summarizing Ukraine war for Chinese audiences
Drone warfare reaching next level.
It’s like the Hunter Killers from Terminator.
Come with me if you want to live!
There is soooo much unrealized potential here. What we are seeing in Ukraine is just the beginning, and the US military better take notes.
The wildest thing to me is ZSU have developed AI tracking that can identify vehicles, and people even.. word was they are building 1,000,000 FPV drones this year
@@jaynikk758They could enlist the help of people with suitable 3d printers to make parts and send them along to the factories for assembly.

Future is scary. All because you could not stop Russia and China.
He's a Chinese (PRC) mercenary and his contract came to an end.
In the British army, we used a lot of these bland biscuits for infantry soldier rations, which are known to cause constipation. This is by design and they are known as "bung-up buscuits". The idea is you can't feed those soldiers in high-risk zones, you can at least fight off the effects of hunger.
I am not sure, but how imagine the lead drone working very simple: many smaller drone jammers only cover a smaller frequency range. So you send one or two recon drones in different band width. If the "sacrifical" lead drone looses signal, you essentially know what frequency range is jammed. If it doesn't, you know you are good to go. Then you follow with a small swarm in a frequency range that's not currently covered. The simple equation is: the more frequencies at a time and the wider the reach of a jammer, the more expensive a jammer.
Paul I think what happens is the Russians use signal jammers that are directed like a gun, so they jam the first couple but don’t have more jammers to jam the others. I’ve seen videos of these “jamming guns” before.
they also have jamming plates for tanks and jamming backpacks like usa, but the problem is you cant jam all the signals all the time, so its cat and mouse game to catch each others frequencies. Unless very HUGE EM systems are in place, which can jam singals at 3-5km radius. But these are rare.
Anyway it feels that the "gun" has a lot better focused beam/jamming stuff so it might work on more types of drones/signals/ even the EM resistant ones maybe. While the "aoe" systems can fail or get too expensive, no idea.
Cause the gun feels so much worse, than an actual aoe signal jammer.
Can you imagine being in a small room and don't even know where the enemy is, but THEN you here an armed drone starts pecking at a window trying to get in and kill you. Perhaps 2 at 2 windows........
Nightmare fuel.
Believe me they are not pecking. They fly right in.
The world has changed. For all the billions spent by USA and others, who forsaw this?
It feels so weird with social media now. You hear Russian soldiers and Chinese soldiers talk and of course they sound just like any other person lol. The Chinese guy definately knows what kamikaze is lol. 15 million Chinese people massacred in WW2 by the Japanese. Something they don't recognize or have ever even apologized for lol. When he does the sound effects and all of that. It's just sad. If WW3 broke out. How long, with internet, could we all stay separated and not communicating and be unable to meta-dehumanize the enemy? And really for what? I've never been to China but a friend whose traveled there says while white people are looked at in some cities it's because you're rare. China has a lot of incredible culture. As does Russia. Just makes me sad. The Chinese are a lot less predisposed to hate us. So I'm really curious, without all of the consent that was manufactured before Iraq. And the ability to tweet at the enemy. How many people would really be able to shoot to kill? I know I wouldn't. There would be so many memes back and forth. This dude is just like us.
We really are all just dying for the wealthy to stay wealthy while social mobility almost is impossible. China makes more billionaires than America now. I cant imagine how the young and lower class in China all feel.
Kamikaze did not come from WW2 but from an (attempted) invasion of Japan by Mongols. Wind came, fleet gone, divine intervention: Divine Wind.
it's interesting how weather can effect a battle as easy diseases and lack of resupply
@36:30 when he walks about recon and Kamikaze drones.
I think what he means is if you see a recon drone is near, it is not so bad as that does not necessarily mean they are after you, but if you see a kamikaze drone, the enemy already know where you are and have marked you as a target.
It's very common in chinese culture to talk about pooping. People will regularly bring up as the first topic upon seeing you that they have diarrhea, just a normal thing to discuss.
Why do you suppose that is?
@@FOH3663 food quality and safety standards basically don't exist in most of china. It's very common to get diarrhea.

Really? Eating?
@40:19, 'a few dozen sq metres a day': so are we talking 12 to 36 sq metres / day?
A room might be as small as 3m x 3m (probably smaller) but lets say thats 9 sq m. 4 rooms would be 36 sq m. Do you really mean gaining 1 or 2 houses only?
Which seems vastly different than a linear movement of 100 m ‘forward’ (probably up to a few square kilometres)
"Our chinese servicemen are like brothers in life and death"
Thats a little rich considering China hasn't had soldiers in a major conflict since 1979. How does he know how they would react under pressure? You have to have something to run away from before you run away. Such troublesome thoughts are best left un-thunk in China if you don't want to be flagged as an undesirable.
为什么你这么关注这一点？这么期望中国军人不团结？恐怕会让你失望了
Operation Blue Sword happened in 1986, I recommend you look that up.
@@taysondynastyemperor5124 There was border skirmishing later than that too, so it comes down to where you draw the line of a "major conflict". 1979 is when the sino-vietnamese war is generally recognized as having ended - but it's fair enough if you want to include that.
Dude it's an infantry unit. What do you think the brotherhood is like? Doesn't matter if it's chinese or American.
Why is everyone so fixated on this
@@gavins9846 That was kind of my point. Any infantry put in the same scenario would be having big problems with morale and desertion in the hellhole that is the current Ukraine war.
An army fights on its stomache.
The ex PLA soldier wording suggested lack of Close Street fighting training.
Now America, UK and other Western countries have been fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mali, etc gaing real combat experience evolving techniques, weapons, tactics and equipment at a practical leaving teaching the recruits them.
Now China has not been directly in combat for decades, in a system that's corrupt so they may march well in parades, look good on paper, are the Chinese Armed forces getting the relevant training or has it been planned but due to "Cost Cutting" it never happened?
I'm sure we are learning something about drones, but otherwise? Americans MO is pound the enemy from the skies and also from the sea if that's possible. If we somehow couldn't get air superiority we'd be in as much trouble as any other country. America is becoming increasingly authoritarian, but I think it would have trouble losing as much as Russia is and still continuing a war. The fact that we never attacked Iran despite Israel pushing us to shows that taking on even a mid sized country with a decent military may be a lot harder than people think.
😂Lol you guys havent really fought against an opponents that could strike advanced missile against you lol. Fighting against AK 47 and having the air support lol
Mate, America isn't going to fare any better in a war. You dont exactly treat your vets well (even vilify them if they happen to be conservative white males) so most of the badasses that fought the war on terror are disillusioned or suffering homelessness/ptsd and will not be coming back to fight any new wars. I shudder to think how badly Americas new DEI army will get slaughtered.
I think that guy had received a bowel wound, and he can't get fibers. He speaks also of an hemorragic episode, in context could be related at his inability to proper elimination: nothing having to do with food.
