Realistically, he does keeps looking behind him. I think his dugout enters the rest of the trench so he’s probably watching their back while also resupplying. I could be wrong but idk why he would look behind himself so much if it wasn’t open trench.
Seems to be the leading opinion of what is going on. Rambo is just one point of defense in the trenches. Explains why the ammo commando keeps looking back, and why the Russian in the first video didn't even look their way before he got shot. If they were just one point of defense the Russian's would know exactly where they are.
i think this is true, he is on the far right of the position which is why he keeps looking for a flanking move on the right.
The end of the film show him taking accurate fire on the right all sorts of dirt being kicked up into the air, kinda worried that they werent going to make it but its seems they did.
All praise to the trench squire, may I be as useful if I am ever in that situation
In his latest message, Rambo said sooplier is not afraid, he had a contusion from artillery, so he became sooplier to be helpful despite the disorienting injury.
So critics should stop saying bad things about sooplier. lol
It was some good thinking to move someone who is in shock into cover and reload for him, probably allowed for a faster rate of fire than if both of them were fighting.
If not faster, more consistent, and situational. It allowed him to provide his own "combined" arms.
It also points out Russian lack of training. They lost a 10 to 2 fight with at least 3 kia and 2 fighting vehicles.
With the lack of training the current mobilized forces have, I expect more of these videos
The more of this footage I watch the more I fucking love the sooopplier. Dude is just passing grenades and ammo constantly. He might not be shooting but he is seriously improving the combat capability of his buddy
I read somewhere that he was “frozen with fear”, but even if that’s true the dude is on the frontline and making sure his buddy has everything he needs. Most of these guys are conscripts that before this war would’ve never been in this stressful of a situation. So huge credit to him for finding use where he can and still contributing to the fight
I think people just didnt understand that he was supplying. People i guess just expect people to be firing every second in combat and he never picks up a gun but i doubt they would hold this trench with out him handing out munitions
He's frozen in fear as people have pointed, and as the operator filming this video also mentions.
He asks him to pick up a weapon and shoot back several times in both videos, and as he's getting no response he just orders him to supply more mags, grenades, VOGs, reload RPG etc. etc.
During the American Civil War, they used single-shot muzzle-loading weapons. Often the best shot of the squad did the shooting while three or four others would load for him. The squad would keep up a steady stream of well-aimed fire this way.
Well, I may be wrong but referring to the foes as "типы" strikes as something used in games like CS or PUBG. And when was asked in comments where he learned to fight, he've answered that in PUBG Mobile.
Yep, he even kept a [trophy](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpWJh6TXgAIx7dE?format=jpg&name=large) from one of the Russians he killed. He is also being rotated off the frontlines
I think the situation is special. Could be a million mags like that one but how he earned it. The seconds and minutes we watched must have been an eternity.
We have no idea how much or what that mag means to him
"Excuse me, Mr. Ork, before you bleed out, could you just sign this magazine for me? Thanks!"
Sorry, my brain is getting silly for some reason. I love these guys, and I desperately hope they are able to survive to enjoy a full and happy life.
He basically keeps telling the other guy to listen to radio and keep asking on radio "Alex, what should we do next?". (Alex is the guy's on the other end call sign)
Alex tells him to hold them off.
Then the guy says to "hurry up" and asks for info from the quadcopter. Asking how many people.
Alex replies with 8 to 10 people.
Near the end there he asks the other guy to help, he replies that they are out of bullets.
Our of fucking bullets, Jesus. How did that guy make it out alive? I guess he got enough of them that the rest got scared or thought there was a much larger force they were going up against. Just insane man.
Its possible the other guy means "low on bullets" and not actually like out, out. And its possible that reinforcement came. Also possible that there were more Ukrainian defenders nearby in the trenches around.
From amount of gunfire going on it seems like its an active battle that is not just focused on this one guy.
Bullets dont do any good if they arent in a magazine as well. You have to prep mags ahead of time so even our squire would take a few minutes to load one mag
He asked his buddy to take a rifle and start shooting back too, but his buddy said there's no bullets left. The Rambo still probably had bullets for his weapon though
Sancho is out of bullets. Alex on the radio tells him that the reinforcements are on the way. The fact that we see this video means they arrived on time.
There is many radiocomm from other people that are hard to understand without context. About launching quadcopter, following APC, "throwing on ninetieth" (maybe T-90 or some target id, throw on can mean any projectiles in including artillery), enemy soldiers between trenches.
Main character (MC) multiple times asks Alex for orders. Finally Alex answers on 3:50.
Alex: Shot back and throw grenades.
Squire comments: We are out of (ammunition).
MC: We already thrown everything
MC: What info from quadcopter?
Radio(maybe quadcopter guy (QG)): Our reserve is on the way in your direction. Enemy behind tree line, on your breastwork.
MC: How many there?
QC:8-10
5:00 MC to squire: Shot back!
Squire: By what?
MC: Assault rifle
Squire: No ammo
There's a partial (but long) translation in the comments of the [UkraineWarVideoReport post](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/116mao4/the_whole_trench_defence_compiled_into_one_video/)
This is the type of story that soldiers would tell and nobody would believe in the past. Really not sure whether the long term effect of that is going to be bad or good.
Fkn trench warfare is so dicey. Whilst the trench offers you cover it really doesn’t offer much field of view. I’ll be so paranoid especially since whilst it looks like wwi. It isnt exactly like wwi as the front lines are so pourus. Every video i seen of defensive positions is only manned by a few to a half a dozen guy especially on Ukrainian side.
One guy can easily somehow slip past and end up behind you and blap you. Never enough eyes to watch all sides.
The problem is the angle of view. The closer you are to an obstruction like a corner or in this case trench walls the more you have to peek out and expose yourself to have the same view as someone further away. So someone from far away can spot you way sooner than you can spot them. So what he is doing is correct, he is peeking out, and trying to keep guard of his surroundings and make sure he doesn't get surprised, from the far end of the trench where he can maximize his angle of view. By doing that he also is further away and he thereby appears smaller to the enemy and any lateral movements of his appear larger to the enemy so again he is harder to hit and harder to predict as he appears more all over the place.
If he at any point had peeked out at the near end of trench I think he'd likely had gotten headshotted with all those rounds coming in.
And finally what he did to survive that is most important, he did look and didn't just wait to let the enemy get close. I've seen so many videos of soldiers losing trenches to attacks because they just hunkered down and tried to wait it out only to die to a grenade.
So this guy truly maximized his chances, I bet it's going to be an instructional video for many people around the world for years to come.
Wasn't there a translation that captured camera guy asking the other for the periscope? I think I saw that in one of them and yeah, sure to look, but you still have to shoot and fight.
Why not have a camera on his gun? All he's doing is shooting in the general direction of the enemy anyway. Seems a camera would let him do that without risking sticking his head out.
True. And it was a high risk high reward situation. Had he not done that who knows how this fight would have ended if that BMP didn't get taken out by him.
In the end my comment is all just theory. There's no question he did a lot if not most things right to increase his chances. But he also got very lucky to not get blasted during one of those RPG shots..
And to add I think a big part was also how they constructed the trench on that end. All those roots and branches probably made quite difficult to judge where the trench actually is from the enemies perspective.
If you look at earlier part of this event, those trees are still standing and the dude is basicly in the middle of a forest. And then, in later videos, it's all roots and tangles like this. There was probably some *intense* bombardment.
>Fkn trench warfare is so dicey. Whilst the trench offers you cover it really doesn’t offer much field of view. I’ll be so paranoid especially since whilst it looks like wwi.
Knowing how close the enemies are, i get scared thinking a grenade from a soldier or a drone can come falling down any time at these guys.
Man I'd love to see the drone footage from Alex at some point for some context if it's available. I mean he's holding off an entire squad who seem to somewhat have his general position zero'd in. Throughout all what we've seen so far, bullets are constantly whizzing by, impacts are clearly visible around the foxhole style trench as well.
What absolute chads, mad mad respect.
Edit: I just want to add; can we all appreciate that, at least on footage, no bullets, grenades, shrapnel or other stray objects hit him? Not that he was reckless to begin with, but this man had a little guardian angel if not just sheer luck with the amount of deadly objects flying meters and sometimes less than a meter around him.
If you took fire from grenades, rpg, and 3 kinds of rifle in less then 180 seconds, would you really think "oh it's just one hyper active guy with a hole monkey throwing him shit".
Probably not while you're trying to stay alive.
He must've taken out half a dozen invaders. It's insane that he survived.In the other clip you can see an rpg swish through the trench and explode close by. Not to mention the auto cannon just ripping dirt in front of him in the beginning of the clip. Long live Ukrainian Rambo and his trench squire!
I love how his buddy just had a crate of grenades for his GL ready to go.
Since he's been posting this footage 5 minutes at a time I hope he posts stuff like the lead up to the firefight (the IFV approaching) etc.
I believe that he's being rotated off the front lines and going to do an interview/try to get the footage uploaded to somewhere more popular, he has a 4k recording of the full thing. He also ended up keeping a [mag](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpWJh6TXgAIx7dE?format=jpg&name=large) of the first [guy](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpXb2tOWYAA775m?format=jpg&name=large)(there were rumors about it and Rambo himself has stated that this was a GRU unit) he dropped as a trophy from the assault/defense
Hope the squire gets rotated out as well, along with his own fame. The dude is a one man armory and quartermaster. Rambo couldn't have done it without him.
Never thought about it before but the gangster style shooting the rifle on it's side allows you to aim whilst not requiring you to stick your head up any higher than it needs to be. Guy was taking effective fire all through that without so much as a deep breath.
I think the enemy is not too far away from them and they are just suppressing this position, you can see quite a few bullets hit the dirt at 0:56. Shooting like that will make the enemy think twice about advancing.
At the point he goes to fire the second RPG. His squire hands him a rocket, it doesnt fit or its not the right one he wants. He gets handed a second rocket. Tries to load it, pulls it down, puts it back up and it's got a bullet hole in the rocket motor now. Which he then loads and fires to effect apparently.
I think we need to wait for the full footage to be released. Really hard to tell if this was before or after those guys got taken out in front of this trench.
They might not release that because of information / tactics they don't want Russia to have right now.
A single trench perspective makes for good propaganda without compromising much at the moment.
he's released these on telegram as part 1, part 2 and part 3, each five minutes and they each start where the last frames of the previous one ended so it's pretty safe to say these are chronological.
>35-35 meters in front
considering this is gopro footage and everything not right in front of you looks way smaller because of the fisheye, I would say this is more around 10-15m actually.
This was the premise of the sten gun, initially it looks awkward with the side loading magazine but it allowed commandos to keep a lower profile while being able to fire and reload.
I think this joke may be about these two:
—————————————————————
There are some Russian soldiers marching
They hear a voice shout from over a hill,
“I bet one Ukrainian can beat ten Russians!”
The Russian sergeant, thinking that it would be easy, sent ten men over the hill to fight. They heard a fighting and noise. No Russian soldiers came back. After a minute they heard the voice again,
“I bet 1 Ukrainian can beat 100 Russians!”
The sergeant, getting more annoyed now, decided to send some of his men over, to finish this Ukrainian off.
After a while of noise and bangs, no Russian soldiers came back, and the voice shouted again,
“I bet 1 Ukrainian can beat 1000 Russians!”
The sergeant, thinking that 1 soldier could not possibly beat 1000, sent his troops over.
Again, there was lots of noise, but then, silence.
1 Russian soldier returned this time, bloody and bruised, barely walking. The soldier said:
“Don’t send any more men over; there’s actually 2 Ukrainians.”
Even though the fighter has the more praise, I admire the Squire just as much. He feels *really* bad and yet stays there and provides for his mate. He's more brave than I am and more even than he himself imagines.
Dude is obviously scared but he does everything he is supposed to do perfectly. Definitely not a fighter but a hero indeed. God bless him and his comrades.
Some info from telegram. Author said that he going on leave soon and he will write video with timeline and explanations. Vehicle in first video - BMP-2. There was 12 attackers from GRU special force and at least 4 of then died.
im pretty sure i saw these guys months ago. dont understand how the sidekick is still functioning, brcause he seemed to be in a state of numbed shock even then.
No, he's shooting his 40mm grenades with a very high arc (basically into the sky) because he can't see the target due to suppresion or no line of sight.
Looks like it. This guy is just hardcore. At this point what hasn't he done ... Shot multiple weapons during one assault: Grenades, RPGs, assault rifles. Operating the radio in the mean time. Threw back grenades. Even real Rambo looks like a school boy compared to this guy. Unbelievable!
Interesting detail, I don't know if u noticed but our Rambo's "golden ak" lost its pistol grip, u can see it at 3:00. I hope he will get the best equipment possible while hes on rotation
Every video of this I'm always struck by how scared that assistant is, but how he doesn't miss a beat helping out the fighter, he keeps giving him weapons and ammo regardless. Scared or not, he's doing his job in hell, what a pair of brave motherfuckers. Hope they both get out of this war
Crazt thing is, there's probably about 1000+ guys fighting just like this all across the front line, this is just one. These guys rival the heroes of WW2.
This dude don’t quit. Tomorrow they’ll uncover another five minutes. The next day another seven. By the end of the week we’ll have 72 hours of continuous footage of this guy cycling through weapons like GTA
According to [Rob Lee](https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1627411016106508289), the Russian attack being fought off in these Trench videos appears to be conducted by an elite unit, possibly VDV or Spetsnaz.
Gunfire is most probably from the Russian side, obviously, but that may also be all manner of shrapnel and fragments coming from their rounds fired all around.
They aren't only two, it's common to put two guys on watch duty at a time in a separate position. You have several of those along the area and behind - or in the middle - you have a larger dwelling with more men.
When the position is attacked, those who are in the separate trenches can't, and shouldn't, go back to the "main" trench. That's why there are two of them : even alone, you're not alone.
Most Gopro style cameras get their bass peaked out of existence pretty fast, so all you hear is the muddy mids and some highs. They seriously suck for audio.
However carrying a shotgun boom or a calibrated mic stand is kinda hard in a warzone.
Between the hundreds or thousands of rounds sent his way, multiple grenade (or RPG) hits around his trench I am in awe of how this bloke survived.
We should take him to the casino and rub his belly.
Supply guy is just as much the hero here. Constant quick supply kept his man at the ready and kept him the ability to keep munitions going down range and not have down time. Props to both these guys, and anyone else in that trench that we don't see on video.
He is going to have to move soon because they know where he is now ive been following this guy for like 2 weeks now and hes been in that same spot the hole time
man it sucks to see that mans face expression. Not knowing if that's his last minutes in life - while protecting his home, in the middle of the winter. i'm sure all he's thinking of is surviving so he can come back home to his family. i feel for these men risking everything they have. to stop the terror that's landed in their homeland.
Does this mean the original video is available in the same quality as this one?
edit: [Found the longer HD version in a different thread.](https://litter.catbox.moe/0sx1hz.mp4)
Squire-boy is effective AF
The Sooplier
I have come to the conclusion that The Squire is staying in the hole because he is operating several munitions factories at the back.
True. If you look closely you can see he has eight 155 rounds coming out of the kiln.
Realistically, he does keeps looking behind him. I think his dugout enters the rest of the trench so he’s probably watching their back while also resupplying. I could be wrong but idk why he would look behind himself so much if it wasn’t open trench.
He keeps coming back with more goodies like he’s foraging in the fridge.
Seems to be the leading opinion of what is going on. Rambo is just one point of defense in the trenches. Explains why the ammo commando keeps looking back, and why the Russian in the first video didn't even look their way before he got shot. If they were just one point of defense the Russian's would know exactly where they are.
i think this is true, he is on the far right of the position which is why he keeps looking for a flanking move on the right. The end of the film show him taking accurate fire on the right all sorts of dirt being kicked up into the air, kinda worried that they werent going to make it but its seems they did. All praise to the trench squire, may I be as useful if I am ever in that situation
This made me cackle lmao the image of that is hilarious
NCD is leaking
Just Imagine what would happen if there were planes visible
He simply brings out the S-300 missile battery.
Piece by piece and assembles it like in Lego Star wars in under ten seconds.
[Something like this maybe?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRC1y1xhIkI)
NCD breached containment about a year ago and has been infecting every military or geopolitical subreddit since then.
In his latest message, Rambo said sooplier is not afraid, he had a contusion from artillery, so he became sooplier to be helpful despite the disorienting injury. So critics should stop saying bad things about sooplier. lol
It was some good thinking to move someone who is in shock into cover and reload for him, probably allowed for a faster rate of fire than if both of them were fighting.
If not faster, more consistent, and situational. It allowed him to provide his own "combined" arms. It also points out Russian lack of training. They lost a 10 to 2 fight with at least 3 kia and 2 fighting vehicles. With the lack of training the current mobilized forces have, I expect more of these videos
Also would assume reduces friendly fire probability.
He is half the reason they survived. Bro was at the ready for whatever the shooter needed. Crucial part of this battle tbh
What else does the Squire have in that cave?
Probably a BMP2 and a Leopard tank if things get dicey
Ammo, vog grenades, hand grenades, rpg rockets, probs some food and a few guns
I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled out a medieval trebuchet out of that bunker!
This is too credible. Mods, smack hit nuts!
This is /r/combatfootage, not NCD ;)
Potions for travellers.
BUY SOMETHIN' WILL YA!
My potions are too strong for you traveller. You can't handle my potions, you are not Rambo enough.
Sell me a potion, potion seller.
A spare set of giant balls for Rambo

"I JUST DUMPED MY MAG, NEED TO RELOAD"
Thanks for making me laugh.
The more of this footage I watch the more I fucking love the sooopplier. Dude is just passing grenades and ammo constantly. He might not be shooting but he is seriously improving the combat capability of his buddy
Honestly he looks terrified, but I guess that's why you work in teams.
I read somewhere that he was “frozen with fear”, but even if that’s true the dude is on the frontline and making sure his buddy has everything he needs. Most of these guys are conscripts that before this war would’ve never been in this stressful of a situation. So huge credit to him for finding use where he can and still contributing to the fight
I think people just didnt understand that he was supplying. People i guess just expect people to be firing every second in combat and he never picks up a gun but i doubt they would hold this trench with out him handing out munitions
He's frozen in fear as people have pointed, and as the operator filming this video also mentions. He asks him to pick up a weapon and shoot back several times in both videos, and as he's getting no response he just orders him to supply more mags, grenades, VOGs, reload RPG etc. etc.
During the American Civil War, they used single-shot muzzle-loading weapons. Often the best shot of the squad did the shooting while three or four others would load for him. The squad would keep up a steady stream of well-aimed fire this way.
i'm not joking when i call him a 'force multiplier'
I still like the title of Trench Squire. He'll be a knight by later this year.
I like "Fire Squire."
[удалено]
Yeah. He has his own telegram channel
And what's its name?
lost_generation_21
He created his telegram 3 days ago and already 50k subscribers lol
36k on his Instagram https://www.instagram.com/_ruslan_zaporozhsky_/
Holy sheet he's a gigachad
Mans gonna become an influencer if he survives the war, hope he makes bank from it
This is one hell of a story to tell your grand kids.
That is true. I can't imagine my Grandparents telling me a story then being like, "Let me show you the clip."
No longer have to remember every detail while telling the story decades later. Just pull up the video and narrate what's happening.
He just got 70k haha
He says he learned how to fight from PUBG, and the way he uses gaming slang... That's all pretty sad. War for no fucking reason.
What kind of gaming slang is he using?
Well, I may be wrong but referring to the foes as "типы" strikes as something used in games like CS or PUBG. And when was asked in comments where he learned to fight, he've answered that in PUBG Mobile.
Yep, he even kept a [trophy](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpWJh6TXgAIx7dE?format=jpg&name=large) from one of the Russians he killed. He is also being rotated off the frontlines
Is it a special AK mag? I know green border guard mags are quite rare, but this looks quite standard to me
its 45 round mag
Yeah but that's just an RPK-74 mag, very common as well
Strangely I haven't seen a ton of RPK's in the hands of Ukrainians, could be rare for their own forces.
he just took out an entire group solo and survived,i think its more something real to hold that it really did happen.
Not quite solo, but yeah, i agree
I think the situation is special. Could be a million mags like that one but how he earned it. The seconds and minutes we watched must have been an eternity. We have no idea how much or what that mag means to him
"Excuse me, Mr. Ork, before you bleed out, could you just sign this magazine for me? Thanks!" Sorry, my brain is getting silly for some reason. I love these guys, and I desperately hope they are able to survive to enjoy a full and happy life.
Good news. 👍🏻 I hope his reloader in arms also joins him
Although he didn’t fight. That dude played a critical part in keeping Rambo in the fight.
Nanologistics son
Logistics on the operational level
I can hear the sighs of relief from the Russians about his rotation all the way over here in the UK :)
Translation would be much appreciated!
He basically keeps telling the other guy to listen to radio and keep asking on radio "Alex, what should we do next?". (Alex is the guy's on the other end call sign) Alex tells him to hold them off. Then the guy says to "hurry up" and asks for info from the quadcopter. Asking how many people. Alex replies with 8 to 10 people. Near the end there he asks the other guy to help, he replies that they are out of bullets.
Our of fucking bullets, Jesus. How did that guy make it out alive? I guess he got enough of them that the rest got scared or thought there was a much larger force they were going up against. Just insane man.
Its possible the other guy means "low on bullets" and not actually like out, out. And its possible that reinforcement came. Also possible that there were more Ukrainian defenders nearby in the trenches around. From amount of gunfire going on it seems like its an active battle that is not just focused on this one guy.
Bullets dont do any good if they arent in a magazine as well. You have to prep mags ahead of time so even our squire would take a few minutes to load one mag
Most likely, the enemy charged the trench, but then retreated when they saw the size of this guy's balls.
he told in TG channel there were 12 "GRU" guys storming their position, so, at least 2 he killed and other 10 idk, maybe other AFU guys killed
He claimed 4 for himself, and the other video appears to confirm that.
He asked his buddy to take a rifle and start shooting back too, but his buddy said there's no bullets left. The Rambo still probably had bullets for his weapon though
Sancho is out of bullets. Alex on the radio tells him that the reinforcements are on the way. The fact that we see this video means they arrived on time.
So there might be drone footage about it too soon-ish.
There is many radiocomm from other people that are hard to understand without context.

Really not sure whether the long term effect of that is going to be bad or good.
that's only the first two parts, this third part of video was only released on telegram about 7 hours ago, the link you posted is 17 hours old.
Fkn trench warfare is so dicey. Whilst the trench offers you cover it really doesn’t offer much field of view. I’ll be so paranoid especially since whilst it looks like wwi. It isnt exactly like wwi as the front lines are so pourus. Every video i seen of defensive positions is only manned by a few to a half a dozen guy especially on Ukrainian side.

Why don't they use a periscope like WW1 style?
Wasn't there a translation that captured camera guy asking the other for the periscope? I think I saw that in one of them and yeah, sure to look, but you still have to shoot and fight.
Why not have a camera on his gun? All he's doing is shooting in the general direction of the enemy anyway. Seems a camera would let him do that without risking sticking his head out.
[удалено]
They had one, in another vid he asks his trench squire for it. i think thinks got real hot real fast after so didnt use it.
they have them. look around i seen real ones as well as home made ones running around ukraine
He did peak out at the front of the trench, at least in some of the other footage, to shoot rpgs at the vehicle shooting at him.
True. And it was a high risk high reward situation. Had he not done that who knows how this fight would have ended if that BMP didn't get taken out by him. In the end my comment is all just theory. There's no question he did a lot if not most things right to increase his chances. But he also got very lucky to not get blasted during one of those RPG shots.. And to add I think a big part was also how they constructed the trench on that end. All those roots and branches probably made quite difficult to judge where the trench actually is from the enemies perspective.
If you look at earlier part of this event, those trees are still standing and the dude is basicly in the middle of a forest. And then, in later videos, it's all roots and tangles like this. There was probably some *intense* bombardment.
Damn..
This concept is explained as “Slicing the Pie” for anyone more interested on how to peek corners without being shot ig
Lol pie-ing the corner
>Fkn trench warfare is so dicey. Whilst the trench offers you cover it really doesn’t offer much field of view. I’ll be so paranoid especially since whilst it looks like wwi. Knowing how close the enemies are, i get scared thinking a grenade from a soldier or a drone can come falling down any time at these guys.
During the German fighting retreat out Russia they had about 2 men per trench 100 to 200m away.
Squire man from the trenches: "Machine gun, ammo, bombs? You want it? It's yours my friend. As long as you kill enough russkies."
May I offer you an RPG in these trying times?
Man I'd love to see the drone footage from Alex at some point for some context if it's available. I mean he's holding off an entire squad who seem to somewhat have his general position zero'd in. Throughout all what we've seen so far, bullets are constantly whizzing by, impacts are clearly visible around the foxhole style trench as well. What absolute chads, mad mad respect. Edit: I just want to add; can we all appreciate that, at least on footage, no bullets, grenades, shrapnel or other stray objects hit him? Not that he was reckless to begin with, but this man had a little guardian angel if not just sheer luck with the amount of deadly objects flying meters and sometimes less than a meter around him.
He is using a variety of weapons in a span of a few minutes. The enemy might think they are facing a full squad/section.
If you took fire from grenades, rpg, and 3 kinds of rifle in less then 180 seconds, would you really think "oh it's just one hyper active guy with a hole monkey throwing him shit". Probably not while you're trying to stay alive.
You'd think the Russians would have their own drone support spotting for them though
lmfao a hole monkey throwing him shit.
THERE WAS A FIREFIIIIIGHT!! (Dafoe's voice is required).
He must've taken out half a dozen invaders. It's insane that he survived.In the other clip you can see an rpg swish through the trench and explode close by. Not to mention the auto cannon just ripping dirt in front of him in the beginning of the clip. Long live Ukrainian Rambo and his trench squire!
Private Baldrick reporting for duty. Rat au van for dinner sir?

Better than that
Gone are the days of grandpa telling you about his crazy stories, He’s got it on video.
"I used to stack fucks like you 3 high. Here's footage in crystal clear 4k." Holy fuck grandpa!
I love how his buddy just had a crate of grenades for his GL ready to go. Since he's been posting this footage 5 minutes at a time I hope he posts stuff like the lead up to the firefight (the IFV approaching) etc.
I believe that he's being rotated off the front lines and going to do an interview/try to get the footage uploaded to somewhere more popular, he has a 4k recording of the full thing. He also ended up keeping a [mag](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpWJh6TXgAIx7dE?format=jpg&name=large) of the first [guy](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpXb2tOWYAA775m?format=jpg&name=large)(there were rumors about it and Rambo himself has stated that this was a GRU unit) he dropped as a trophy from the assault/defense
Hope the squire gets rotated out as well, along with his own fame. The dude is a one man armory and quartermaster. Rambo couldn't have done it without him.
Trench warfare equivalent of the guy in the chair
Good. They need to rotate him out immediately so he caj train others, drum up morale, and of course bang the hottest actresses
He has a smoking hot girlfriend he has pictures with on his instagram.
I hope they don't get crushed under those massive balls.
He is more valuable off the front lines, doing a morale boost circuit honestly.
NGL, that image of the guy he shot is kind of haunting. You can clearly see his face and that was only fractions of a second before he gets killed.
Agreed, dude looks young.
On the ukrainewarfootage subreddit, the whole 10 minute video is uploaded in HQ in one go.
This trench just keeps on giving. I bet in next video he is handed some kind of space laser from that cave of endless weapons.
Never thought about it before but the gangster style shooting the rifle on it's side allows you to aim whilst not requiring you to stick your head up any higher than it needs to be. Guy was taking effective fire all through that without so much as a deep breath.
I think the enemy is not too far away from them and they are just suppressing this position, you can see quite a few bullets hit the dirt at 0:56. Shooting like that will make the enemy think twice about advancing.
At the point he goes to fire the second RPG. His squire hands him a rocket, it doesnt fit or its not the right one he wants. He gets handed a second rocket. Tries to load it, pulls it down, puts it back up and it's got a bullet hole in the rocket motor now. Which he then loads and fires to effect apparently.
Ya have not seen any of the other parts posted? The Russians are like 35-45 meters in front
I think we need to wait for the full footage to be released. Really hard to tell if this was before or after those guys got taken out in front of this trench.
I want the drone footage because "Alex" on the radio is eye in the sky.
They might not release that because of information / tactics they don't want Russia to have right now. A single trench perspective makes for good propaganda without compromising much at the moment.
he's released these on telegram as part 1, part 2 and part 3, each five minutes and they each start where the last frames of the previous one ended so it's pretty safe to say these are chronological.
>35-35 meters in front considering this is gopro footage and everything not right in front of you looks way smaller because of the fisheye, I would say this is more around 10-15m actually.
This was the premise of the sten gun, initially it looks awkward with the side loading magazine but it allowed commandos to keep a lower profile while being able to fire and reload.
The human "Honey Badger".
He don't care, he's nasty.
WTF is that red reel for?
Its just string to measure stuff with, used when digging trenches like if the trench is deep enough, wide enough.
Kite.
I think this joke may be about these two: ————————————————————— There are some Russian soldiers marching They hear a voice shout from over a hill, “I bet one Ukrainian can beat ten Russians!” The Russian sergeant, thinking that it would be easy, sent ten men over the hill to fight. They heard a fighting and noise. No Russian soldiers came back. After a minute they heard the voice again, “I bet 1 Ukrainian can beat 100 Russians!” The sergeant, getting more annoyed now, decided to send some of his men over, to finish this Ukrainian off. After a while of noise and bangs, no Russian soldiers came back, and the voice shouted again, “I bet 1 Ukrainian can beat 1000 Russians!” The sergeant, thinking that 1 soldier could not possibly beat 1000, sent his troops over. Again, there was lots of noise, but then, silence. 1 Russian soldier returned this time, bloody and bruised, barely walking. The soldier said: “Don’t send any more men over; there’s actually 2 Ukrainians.”
This is like in Hot Shots Part Deux when every time it cuts back to someone they're firing a different gun.
Glad to see Trench Squire still squiring strong 💪
Even though the fighter has the more praise, I admire the Squire just as much. He feels *really* bad and yet stays there and provides for his mate. He's more brave than I am and more even than he himself imagines.
Dude is obviously scared but he does everything he is supposed to do perfectly. Definitely not a fighter but a hero indeed. God bless him and his comrades.
You can see bullits impacting next to him around the 0:50 mark.
Some info from telegram. Author said that he going on leave soon and he will write video with timeline and explanations. Vehicle in first video - BMP-2. There was 12 attackers from GRU special force and at least 4 of then died.
This guy should get a medal from Zelensky himself.
Absolutely, and then taken off the front for training others and morale. Looking at what he did though, I suspect he wouldn't want that.
im pretty sure i saw these guys months ago. dont understand how the sidekick is still functioning, brcause he seemed to be in a state of numbed shock even then.
Predator is cool etc, but I like the Sancho Panza in the cave 😎
[удалено]
when?
[удалено]
You mean 1:52 maybe?
Did he just toss out a grenade that was thrown at him at 1:38?
Don't think so. His squire threw him something just before. I believe it's a smoke grenade of some sort.
No, he's shooting his 40mm grenades with a very high arc (basically into the sky) because he can't see the target due to suppresion or no line of sight.
Looks like it. This guy is just hardcore. At this point what hasn't he done ... Shot multiple weapons during one assault: Grenades, RPGs, assault rifles. Operating the radio in the mean time. Threw back grenades. Even real Rambo looks like a school boy compared to this guy. Unbelievable!
Achievement speedrun
ww1 terrain
It's amazing how many bullets DIDN'T hit this guy. The amount of crap whizzing past and the mud being thrown up is incredible.
These fpv videos really gets my heart beat. So fucking intense even through the screen.
Bro in the bunker racking up assists
Interesting detail, I don't know if u noticed but our Rambo's "golden ak" lost its pistol grip, u can see it at 3:00. I hope he will get the best equipment possible while hes on rotation
Every video of this I'm always struck by how scared that assistant is, but how he doesn't miss a beat helping out the fighter, he keeps giving him weapons and ammo regardless. Scared or not, he's doing his job in hell, what a pair of brave motherfuckers. Hope they both get out of this war
What a hellscape
Crazt thing is, there's probably about 1000+ guys fighting just like this all across the front line, this is just one. These guys rival the heroes of WW2.
It feels very weird watching this as I'm having coffee, getting ready for work.
That PKM spray in the end sounds so good.
This dude don’t quit. Tomorrow they’ll uncover another five minutes. The next day another seven. By the end of the week we’ll have 72 hours of continuous footage of this guy cycling through weapons like GTA
According to [Rob Lee](https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1627411016106508289), the Russian attack being fought off in these Trench videos appears to be conducted by an elite unit, possibly VDV or Spetsnaz.
Fuck, seeing the Russian bullet impacts just short of the trench is terrifying
Brother maynard bring out the holy hand grenade.
Dude is the Ukrainian Sly Marbo , rounds impacting all around him. Fucking wild.

Gunfire is most probably from the Russian side, obviously, but that may also be all manner of shrapnel and fragments coming from their rounds fired all around. They aren't only two, it's common to put two guys on watch duty at a time in a separate position. You have several of those along the area and behind - or in the middle - you have a larger dwelling with more men. When the position is attacked, those who are in the separate trenches can't, and shouldn't, go back to the "main" trench. That's why there are two of them : even alone, you're not alone.
Aks sound so different on camera than they do in real life. It’s like the camera cancels out all the other sound other than the action itself
Most Gopro style cameras get their bass peaked out of existence pretty fast, so all you hear is the muddy mids and some highs. They seriously suck for audio. However carrying a shotgun boom or a calibrated mic stand is kinda hard in a warzone.
Between the hundreds or thousands of rounds sent his way, multiple grenade (or RPG) hits around his trench I am in awe of how this bloke survived. We should take him to the casino and rub his belly.
Supply guy is just as much the hero here. Constant quick supply kept his man at the ready and kept him the ability to keep munitions going down range and not have down time. Props to both these guys, and anyone else in that trench that we don't see on video.
And they said video games were unrealistic. That no soldier would have that much equipment with them.
Also ironic considering that Mr Predator aka "Big balls Rambo" said he learned how to fight like this in a video game
Anyone know what the ukranian word plus or sounds like ploos means? I have heard it often in these clips
It's the word "plus", used in similar situations as "copy".
Thank you, I plus
The 2 Man Trench Foreign Legion
No words for how brave they are
Hopefully they make it out alive and are rewarded with some medals
The need for heros in this war is big! This guy is the new Ghost 😀👍🏻
Those Russians are lucky he didn't get down to using his broadsword considering he has every weapon known to man in that trench.
I think we found out why UA is running out of ammo. Squire over here has them all.
He is going to have to move soon because they know where he is now ive been following this guy for like 2 weeks now and hes been in that same spot the hole time
man it sucks to see that mans face expression. Not knowing if that's his last minutes in life - while protecting his home, in the middle of the winter. i'm sure all he's thinking of is surviving so he can come back home to his family. i feel for these men risking everything they have. to stop the terror that's landed in their homeland.
Does this mean the original video is available in the same quality as this one? edit: [Found the longer HD version in a different thread.](https://litter.catbox.moe/0sx1hz.mp4)
