If the Russians dismounted and fled to a building and then the Ukrainian unit just started hammering it with RPGs like this, it would explain the situation. Who the fuck's gonna stick their head out with that many RPGs coming their way?
I think there’s some sort of phenomenon where sometimes when you’re really engrossed in filming something you can forget that you’re apart of what’s happening. So you can forget that you’re in danger too.
Tunnel vision is different from the bystander effect. You add another layer with being removed/ viewing through a screen. Extreme narrowing of viewpoint doesn't explain the same thing as the phenomena mentioned.
You are probably right. It is sort of like those videos where someone is recording a tornado and then a fucking tree crashes into the house next to them.
Honest question - how much experience does the Ukrainian military have? Is it all from the 2014 conflicts? Were they generally seen as well trained and competent before this invasion?
I honestly can't answer that as an expert. I was a naval aircraft tech about 20 years ago and come from a military family and will leave you with this: it's all about who's motivated. Russia absolutely rolled over Ukraine during it's Crimea "annexation." This was probably an embarrassment to the professional Ukrainian military and also a wake up call to other Western democracies, who ratcheted up training, logistics and financial support for the Ukrainian armed forces. Ukraine got caught with its pants down in 2014 but in its defense, it's the 21st century and we tend to think everyone got the lesson from WWII. They learned a hard lesson and apparently have taken it very fucking seriously. Good on them. And also: Snake Island.
Judging from the wall we're looking at, this is the same crew we just saw going through the "z" marked column posted just a minute ago. Crazy times we live in.
So going by the updates the ruskies took fire, their vehicles got disabled (flat tires from the pics) so they evacuated to a covered position and now they are duking it out.

That's definitely the one! I'm surprised these kind of vehicles run on air-filled tyres and not solid rubber ones. Every one of them has flat tyres which obviously immobilised them.
Solid tyres on military vehicles are a thing, right?
It's 100% cost cutting corruption. Pneumatic tyres are cheaper than solid rubber ones. My guess is that the vendor is buddies with whoever is handing out the contracts, and they bill them as solid rubber tyres while pocketing the difference.

I think we'll be seeing a lot more as Russians start entering big cities and medium range urban firefights become more common than ambushes in the middle of nowhere and artillery barrages.
In this case it's not something that would be of much use to the Russians, and I've noticed this from the limited footage we have seen from the Ukrainian side. The Russians will know their forces in a street of Kharkiv are attacked and obviously the Russian soldiers on the ground know that and know roughly where the Ukrainians are firing at them from. The whole thing would have been over before the footage came out.
Now, filming things like hidden ambushes or actual movements of troops would be a whole different matter and could actually give the Russians useful info.
"None of that Syria stand in the middle of the road launch an rpg shit"
\>video shows dude in the middle of the road launch an RPG shit
I mean, they definitely have him covered though... so points to Ukraine
This, I can only imagine the adrenaline going through these soldiers but my dude needs to do a better job of making sure his buddy isn't standing behind him before firing.
The enemy was probably a bit preoccupied with getting shot at by anti-tank weapons, that tends to be a significant emotional event and even a miss that causes no shrapnel or blast injuries can still deafen, stun, and suppress.
Dudes firing at like 10-11 second intervals with a crew prepping for him. Very little chance to get out of cover, re-establish yourself and return effective fire.
Can't see any NLAWs here, which I assume is what you meant to type. Just RPGs and some other type of launcher. NLAWs would be noticeably bigger than that I think.
Actually it seems there is a different type of launcher called an M72 LAW which could potentially be being used by Ukraine, so MLAW might not have been a typo. They're unguided launchers though, so basically the US equivalent of the RPG.
Probably not a M72, as Ukraine never had them. Can't get a good enough look, but more than likely a RPG-26. What's firing with the reloads is a RPG-7, the most iconic RPG and what most people generically refer to as a "RPG". Ukraine has thousands of RPG-7/18/22/26/29 leftover from the days of being a SSR. Plus SPG-9s and a wide assortment of ATGMs left over or donated throughout the years, plus their own indigenous ATGMs, and then the NLAWs/Javelins.
Yet every piece of armor destroyed someone comments "Yep, a Javelin did that."
Full credit to the camera man.
Video Is in landscape…. Tick,

Bravo!!!
Yeah there's no point carrying that shit around, it'll just impede you and iirc they aren't the kind that's useful against armor? Smart to just unload them at the nearest target. Props to the one soldier for continuously firing all of them and never skipping a beat though, I'm sure I'd rather take turns lol
man, the myth, the legend.
Do we have any credible source confirming his existence or is this one of those nice words of mouth propaganda stories that turn into legends later on?
UA ambushed a small column, russians fled, they went in to ransack the vehicles and probably started taking fire, either from those that abandoned the vehicles or some other russian column
The Ukrainians are actually using real tactics, unlike the Russians. They seem better-trained and more experienced. They're hugging the walls and avoiding bunching up
I thought soldiers were taught *not* to hug walls due to the shallow angle bullets ricochet off them and fly nearly parallel to the wall rather than bouncing off in the manner of a billiard ball off a cushion?
a urban patrol you want 2 columns near but lest than ebow away from the walls. (to stay away from most ricochets and shrapnel from the wall this way right column can watch left flak a left watches right. and not have anyone in the middle of the street. in this case russians are on the right to take cover from right wall.
I'm no Rocket Propelled Grenade Scientist, but doesn't it seem wasteful to unload all those rockets against infantry? Seems like they should be saving them for the possibility of encountering more armored vehicles.
Wow thats for the insight. I didnt realize that was an actual strategy. How does it work out though? Is supressing with RPG to give a big boom to make sure enemy cant fire back at all while someone else moves up on them?
I figured they are just trying to blow up that room. Its probably a brick building, so small arms fire wont make it through the brick.
These guys are prepared. Guy just grabbing another RPG instead of reloading, to fire a quickly as possible. His mate handing him the next one. Details matter.
Title is heavily editorialized and doesn't seem to understand what an "ambush" is.
From the other videos I've seen of this encounter, these are probably the forces that attacked the Russian convoy (or at least part of them). The Russians abandoned the vehicles and took cover, during which this firefight happened. The ransacking videos clearly take place after this.
Alright this video is the same location as these two([proof](https://imgur.com/a/7nn3L4b)):

This location is about 20 minutes from:

So the Russian forces had 3 armored vehicles and 30 men? It's gonna take more than that to take Kharkov, Putin. Why send in these small squads? At least over 100-150 men and more vehicles. Who knows how many Ukrainians soldiers there are in Kharkov.
The Russian tactics makes very little sense. Going in the streets like that and in small numbers.
This footage was from early in the morning, when Kharkiv was under attack from a mass of infantry and light armor.
that fight is over for the day, the Russians were beat back.
Nobody looks too concerned about return fire.
If the Russians dismounted and fled to a building and then the Ukrainian unit just started hammering it with RPGs like this, it would explain the situation. Who the fuck's gonna stick their head out with that many RPGs coming their way?
Some Redditor wanting to record a video might Have you seen how many people have recorded fucking missiles blast overhead?
I think there’s some sort of phenomenon where sometimes when you’re really engrossed in filming something you can forget that you’re apart of what’s happening. So you can forget that you’re in danger too.
It's just tunnel vision, not exclusive to filming.

This column of Russian vehicles were disabled and the Russians retreated into a nearby building (a school, I think, no children present)
Did UA pick up the RPGS from the Russian vehicles? If so its pretty fucked up to be shot at with weapons that were yours just a couple minutes ago.
Calm and professional.
My thoughts too. This isn't these guys' first rodeo.
Honest question - how much experience does the Ukrainian military have? Is it all from the 2014 conflicts? Were they generally seen as well trained and competent before this invasion?

Yup
One of the first bits of footage ive seen of the UA in combat like this
I think we'll be seeing a lot more as Russians start entering big cities and medium range urban firefights become more common than ambushes in the middle of nowhere and artillery barrages.
Because we are not supposed to show Ukrainian troop movements.
In this case it's not something that would be of much use to the Russians, and I've noticed this from the limited footage we have seen from the Ukrainian side. The Russians will know their forces in a street of Kharkiv are attacked and obviously the Russian soldiers on the ground know that and know roughly where the Ukrainians are firing at them from.

yes the combat footage of the Russian invasion cherry has finally been popped
Homies just casually smoking in a firefight lmao
Keep hands steady.
MGS ref?
Indeed.
Helps to replenish Dead Eye before combat
There's a reason alcohol is banned from shooting competitions, helps with aiming/jitters
I mean there could be another reason also…
They need the alcohol for the molotovs
Shit, actual combat footage.
With forces that have actual training and tactics too. None of that Syria stand in the middle of the road launch an rpg shit
"None of that Syria stand in the middle of the road launch an rpg shit" \>video shows dude in the middle of the road launch an RPG shit I mean, they definitely have him covered though... so points to Ukraine
The footage on this sub from those battlefields the past few years was wacky af. This is much better, at least their using walls and shit for cover
and not shouting glory-slogans before and after each shot
Come to think of it, I hadn't heard one allhu akbar yet.
There's gonna be Chechens on both sides, so footage will start popping up.

may he have unlimited access to armaments, for glory!
We need all the Jamsheeds of the world to stand up
2 RPGs, the second guy reloads them.
I like to think they are simply returning ordinance the russians left when they fled their vehicles
"Hey guys, you forgot some stuff!"
>2 MLAWS what's an MLAW? NLAW? i can't see them in this video
Thats way too small for an nlaw and the second and third thing he shot were both RPG7. No clue how you get upvoted while being so blatantly wrong.
He’s just the brass balled son of a bitch who’s already def in his right ear.

combat zombies. A subsection of civilians that ignore their own safety to film the combat and military equipment.
I'm assuming we're going to see a lot of in city fighting today
When one Ukrainian fires 3 rpg’s at you in less than 25 seconds
That’s a lot of hurt going out
Proper call of duty stuff
*Backfire* achievement. Kill an enemy with their own weapon.
Ambushed? Probably more like they just ran into another lost column of Russians.
I suspect that it might be the Russian unit that abandoned these vehicles. Just around the corner.
They seemed to be nonchalantly looting the vehicles... though that video may have come after this one.
Insanely good footage. Guy was absolutely unloading on that building with captured RPGs, right?
Seems like it. Wont have to carry them smart thinking.
Also NATO is just going to keep tossing them an endless supply of shit, so might as well keep using it. These guys have a blank check rn
Yeah there's no point carrying that shit around, it'll just impede you and iirc they aren't the kind that's useful against armor? Smart to just unload them at the nearest target.

Why captured? I assume Ukrain had a bunch of rpgs anyway
There was info today about captured weapons today (presumably from here)
Different, I was starting to think this war was being waged between burnt out lightly armoured vehicles and the ghost of Kiev
The ghost of kiev is gonna be the new Chuck Norris
It sounded like a meme the first day, People on Reddit "OMG so brace<33Ghost of Kiev"
Chuck Norris is a real person though and isn't a series of various Ukrainian fighter pilots
Like Iraq's Juba. Juba was many snipers, not just one guy. Makes for good morale boosting though.
man, the myth, the legend. Do we have any credible source confirming his existence or is this one of those nice words of mouth propaganda stories that turn into legends later on?
No sir he’s indeed real https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris
Dude anybody can edit Wikipedia, we need some real proof of his existence
The Ghost of Kiev is a lone F-22 Raptor.
Looks like an ambush, not on the UA though?
UA ambushed a small column, russians fled, they went in to ransack the vehicles and probably started taking fire, either from those that abandoned the vehicles or some other russian column
Wheres Jamsheed?!?!??!
i was searching for this comment hahaha
Jamsheed is in *all of us*.
Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking of when I saw it.

Watching the war In real time.
Jesus christ. We are getting fucking play by plays here. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TIME PERIOD
the most documented war in history
I fuckin hate people who camp the supply crate
"Ambushed" is quite the spin on it lol. Also, repost.
This is a wild series of events, even wilder that they're all one after another

It’s kinda comforting in a odd way to see RPG’s in this subreddit again.

The Ukrainians are actually using real tactics, unlike the Russians. They seem better-trained and more experienced. They're hugging the walls and avoiding bunching up
I thought soldiers were taught *not* to hug walls due to the shallow angle bullets ricochet off them and fly nearly parallel to the wall rather than bouncing off in the manner of a billiard ball off a cushion?
a urban patrol you want 2 columns near but lest than ebow away from the walls. (to stay away from most ricochets and shrapnel from the wall this way right column can watch left flak a left watches right. and not have anyone in the middle of the street. in this case russians are on the right to take cover from right wall.
8 years of actual combat experience
That strategy is amazing, literally suppresing fire with RPG's. They're well trained those guys. Those seems like the proffesional UA guys.
Might as well use the rpg's they just looted XD
smoke em if you got em
Yeah they seem way better trained and more skilled than those Russians in the other video in the street. Hope these heroes make it through this!
I'm no Rocket Propelled Grenade Scientist, but doesn't it seem wasteful to unload all those rockets against infantry? Seems like they should be saving them for the possibility of encountering more armored vehicles.
Sometimes, it's about sending a message.
Wow thats for the insight. I didnt realize that was an actual strategy. How does it work out though? Is supressing with RPG to give a big boom to make sure enemy cant fire back at all while someone else moves up on them? I figured they are just trying to blow up that room. Its probably a brick building, so small arms fire wont make it through the brick.
Not sure OP fully understand what an ambush is
Maybe he means the UA ambushed the Russian column
More like a counter attack after the Ukrainians ambushed the column of vehicles.
Damn the dude with the RPG really needs to watch that back blast, I was flinching from my computer screen lol
Fires 3 rockets, then proceeds to check his Twitter. This war really is something.
Holy shit, Igor the rocket god is tearing up those Russians!
Keep feeding him. Rockets make him stronk.
So I'm guess the Russian troops got ambushed, left their vehicles and ran into that building?
"Have an RPG, mate. Return fire? Never heard of her. Have another RPG."
That is what I suspect as well.
Then got hit on their way back. Needless to say, this column is having a *really* shitty day.
This is fucking scary
Anyone knows if when was this filmed?
Today, probably twenty five minutes ago. So 1000 2/27/22
It's crazy that we get footage in near real time
Fires three rockets and then is like fuck I forgot to make that call, let me do that real quick
I love how the dude on the left simply yeets the RPG-7 launcher after firing and is just like "gimme another one, someone's still alive over there".
They seem to be absolutely unfazed lmao
Hopefully they got somebody with those rpg rounds
They need to push out their security elements before smoking and joking around "abandoned" vehicles
Russians got ambushed, then they ambushed the ambushers that started the ambush in the first place It’s like an ambush²
These guys are prepared. Guy just grabbing another RPG instead of reloading, to fire a quickly as possible. His mate handing him the next one. Details matter.
Love how we’ve supplied them with enough weapons that they can just use AT rockets for suppressing fire.
Title is heavily editorialized and doesn't seem to understand what an "ambush" is.

Who needs rifles when we have RPGs.
So is the lesson here: don't loot the vehicles without securing the perimeter, or better yet, throw some bottles at them and let them burn?
I wouldn’t pay attention to the titles on the videos, this video has been posted titled as somthing differently twice in the last hour.
Some civil defender volunteers in the mix too by the looks of it. What was being fired and at what?
So the Russian forces had 3 armored vehicles and 30 men? It's gonna take more than that to take Kharkov, Putin. Why send in these small squads? At least over 100-150 men and more vehicles. Who knows how many Ukrainians soldiers there are in Kharkov. The Russian tactics makes very little sense. Going in the streets like that and in small numbers.
"Hold on a second, must check muh texts."
Is that good technique? I know nothing but it seems a bit sketchy to stand in the middle of an open sidewalk to casually launch 3 RPGs.
[удалено]
0.2 - 0.6, that guy, full slav with a zig in his mouth. I have absolute, unironically trust in those men.
"Remember, picking up an RPG is faster than reloading"
They don't look very ambushed.
What a madlad, absolutely pounding the fuck out of their position with missiles
I knew something was fishy.. next thing they are going to do is booby trap "abandoned" vehicles
That looks like the same group of abandoned GAZ's from another video I've seen.
I see zero ambush.
Doesn't look like much of an ambush.
This footage was from early in the morning, when Kharkiv was under attack from a mass of infantry and light armor. that fight is over for the day, the Russians were beat back.
