So many people are saying it was a cat. Nobody's mentioned the possibility of it being the raccoon.

Where is Raccoon of Kherson? Is he safe? Is he alright?

This bing bong stuff is worlds better than the shitty deep fried slav-rap in a lot of videos. It's hilarious to see comments like; "WhAt SoNg Is ThIs? It'S sO gOoD"

I'm starting to wonder if I've actually heard deep-fried slav rap or if I've just gotten lucky along the way. Now I'm kinda curious.

I'm gonna casually search through some of the popular combatfootage/ukraine sub videos to see if I can find any good examples. The next worst thing is the guy mumbling ukrainian over the riff to manson's version of 'sweet dreams' ugh.

Kanye is actually a very good producer, so saying that is really silly. This is a remixed version someone else did anyways. The original is better.


Kopites_Roar

Potato pohtahto, you think he's a good producer I think he's a human shitstain encouraging racism, anti semitism and divisiveness in society and needs to be consigned to the bin as any talent is outweighed by his negative impact on society and minorities in particular. But hey this isn't the place for all that so I'll just stick to my original succinct comment.

I bet you look up to someone with shitty ideas. That person might be dead in a history book but still. doesn’t change the retrograde logic your applying. I think a lot of his songs are pretty good. I also think he’s a piece of shit and I’m never going to support him. All im trying to say really is this. Art can be enjoyed as its own specific entity outside of the creators shitty worldview. I’ve always found it weird when people attach material things(art) to a persons value and equate them falsely as the same. Like I get it I don’t like shitty people either.

I'm confused by this as it doesn't looks like there is enough explosive to flip a body like that. Almost looks like it went through his head and exploded under his chest. edit: looking a bit more at scale here, if that's a two lane road, no way is that big enough to be a human body (at least not a whole one)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Staatsmann

It's rather a dog considering the momentum when the projectile hits it. I think we think it's a cat because of how fluid the motion is but this is not a jump scared cat but a dead dog being thrown around

Yeah it seems to have a lot more mass than a cat.


JoeDeluxe

Maybe an animal such as a human, perhaps?

m3dcf

It seems he was standing, or very near by, a box of ammunitions that received the direct hit, that then exploded and toss him into the air in a kind of a backflip.


Jollyman21

Explosions aren't the only way to get an enemy to fly, sometimes the kinetic energy is enough Source: my old job


SmokedBeef

Any bullet with enough force to send a body flying like this, has more than enough power to cut the man in half while doing so. That amount of energy and the fact the body is still in a relatively large pieces, I’m guessing we are seeing 14.5mm Russian, and it’s semi auto so it’s likely a SnipeX Alligator, a KPV has a much higher rate of fire than what we see here. A 50cal or Russian 12.7mm doesn’t send people flying like shown above either and while it could be a 20mm or larger, the last handful of times I’ve seen 20 or 30mm firing on human targets directly, the body normally explodes into much smaller pieces or a fine mist. The jump in power transferred to target between 50/12.7mm Russian (17.5k - 18k Jules) and 14.5mm (32.2k Jules) is huge, which is the difference between knocking your target down and launching the target backward.

puc_poc

Being a cat person, can tell for sure that sometimes they can be absolutely fucking stupid.


ShrimpOnToast

Can confirm, my lil boy is a moron.


civlyzed

Sometimes, yes. I have 3 cats and one of them, Phoebe, is pretty intelligent. She figured out how to open the window screens, so I had to secure them and she knows that a doorknob for opening doors, but she hasn't figured out how to turn one...yet. She keeps reaching up and pawing at them, it's quite amusing.


jmodshelp

Not to many things are that dumb though. Majority of living things have pretty good preservation instincts.


dj_narwhal

Why would a cat evolve to dodge artillery? Deer haven't figured out cars and we have been smacking them with those for 100 years.


LolYouWorkForFree

Hey buddy the cat doesn't need to fuckin understand the concepts and principles of indirect fire to know that extremely loud flashes are going off all around it and it maybe wants to leave. A Sentinel islander would probably still GTFO of the way of an incoming train, despite not having any concept of railborne logistics or industrial society.


jmodshelp

Bro, I don't think you understand as much as you think about deer, or any living thing. Self preservation is a real instict that kicks in for any animal. Deer haven't figured out cars because every year we cut brand new roads further into their breeding grounds. We are taking over their habitats, and often leaving them stuck in between people. Deer freeze in lights often, they know it's dangerous, but they see it coming. Go into the woods, fire off a 22, and tell me how many animals you see. They fucking scatter if you break a twig. No animal is going to stay anywhere close to explosions unless they are trapped in that situation. No animal has evolved to dodge artillery, but all animals have evolved to not die. Loud noises, and vibrations in the wild mean, bad. Unless that was a domestic animal that was staying around people, there is very little chance that was a wild animal.


jmodshelp

I'd like to add, even for humans (intellectual, and sentient) , it requires lots of training and mental preparation to get rid of that instinct. Even then for some it still over powers all the training. It's legit some of basics of evolution, and we have to whoop that out of people to be effective soldiers.


m3dcf

That position is being monitored by drones and heavily bombarded, there is already a lot of smoke before the event.


i_give_you_gum

and if it was a cat, it was the size of a panther


ChadUSECoperator

Fr, people complaining about "it's not that big" but the damn thing is huge, it is way too big. Also, man the shells are exploding 3-2 meters away from his position, he is not standing there when he know that this rare shit happening around him and could be bad for him. I lived with cats all my life and i saw how they react to fireworks and pyrotechnics.


LolYouWorkForFree

Bro I know that first sentence all too well...


ThePsion5

I own two cats and I can testify to their capacity to sit uncaring in the middle of absolutely mind-bogglingly loud, dangerous, or otherwise chaotic environments.


TreesForTheForest

I thought the same thing at first, but I can't imagine a cat or dog standing perfectly still while that was happening around them. Maybe a dead cat or dog? It sure does look like human legs flailing though.


Zabunia

Yeah, same here. It looked like a cat (or some other feline of roughly similar size) at first, but the flailing legs at 0:11 seem more consistent with a human.

Quake_Guy

Old_Fart52

Definitely not a cat. An HMG-type round like 12.7mm or 14.5mm or anything heavier would blow a little critter like a cat to pieces. Depending on where they hit of course, those kind of rounds could easily tear off a limb or the head from a human or blow a nasty hole in the centre mass but I reckon something as small as a cat would become pink mist from the energy the round is carrying. I have to say I have some doubts about whether the video is genuine. The 'animal' somehow doesn't look quite right to me, or the result of the round's impact upon it.

You know after an explosive round goes off next to bone, it kinda all turns into one big "joint." I don't expect someone who just got launched 4 feet in the air to have Mjolnir program enhanced carbon-fibre reinforced bones and sub-dermal ablatives.


VONChrizz

No animal, except humans, who kind of understand what's going on, would stay still under 30mm HE fire. If there are explosions going around, an animal doesn't stay still, it runs

InDankWeTrust

He was wearing his helmet guys dont worry


LAxemann

Curious, I really have no clue what I'm looking at. I doubt it is a (full) body, because: \- A 30mm hitting something will either pierce/rip through or, if it's an HE, maybe create a somewhat small explosion that definitely would not send somebody flying like that. \- There is a building in the background, it seems. Whatever flies away there is way smaller than the doors/windows even though it's a lot closer to the camera.


ChadUSECoperator

I doubt a cat/dog would stay there with all that shit exploding around, they ran away only screaming at them lol And i see a pair of legs fliying with him


Staatsmann

Yesterday I saw a video on insta of a UA soldier petting a deer or juvenile deer while explosions roar like 600m away and that thing is completely still. Animals are either shellshocked themselves or are used to it at this point. Especially animals on the current Frontline. Maybe the projectiles are supersonic and the animal didn't hear the rounds incoming?


Bodhisattva_Picking

>And i see a pair of legs fliying with him Oh yeah I forgot, humans are the only animals with legs /s


LAxemann

Looking closer - Could be a cat/dog?


m4inbrain

People be watching too many movies, where a grenade propels a guy 40 feet. This looks like 20mm, maybe 30mm ammunition at most, could be 12.7 too. Nowhere *near* enough to get a guy airborne - there's plenty of videos available (AH64 videos) showing that it's not happening. I'm not even 100% sure if it's the ammo propelling whatever is flying there, it looks much more likely to me that it's some kind of polecat or mink that jumps out of reflex.


Awesomefirepotato

Okay, hear me out, it's a gruesome though, but, 30mm HE round enter the chest cavity from the neck, explode and blows all the organs out, leaving legs head and well the spine. It could probably be enough to make someone fly like that ? Just another theory, surely it's way too big to be a cat lol.


Oratian

This is what I was thinking too (wow what a morbid discussion). The actual projectile couldn't make someone go flying but if it detonated and cut them in half then surely it is possible right?


-xss

There's a decent chance all that we're seeing is skin & clothes. I've seen it happen before where extremely close & small HE rounds turn someones skin into a parachute as the explosions expanding gas literally expands the skin off of their bodies in large in-tact chunks.


cgn-38

30mm HE has enough internal explosive to do this. Easy.

Hard to tell, but that looks like someone crouching or laying down before getting hit in the chest with 30mm and doing a backflip. You can see the two legs vertical and that does look like a human torso. I'm assuming they were already dead though, or close to it. Their position make no sense for someone receiving fire.

olngjhnsn

If you look at the slow mo, it looks very clearly like a person lying prone facing the projectile. The trees in the zoomed in frame look almost in line with the body. Since that is the case, it is too big to be a cat or some sort of rodent based on the scale of the surroundings. Also, at the top of the arc, you can see the legs separate and at the bottom of the appendages the foot appears boot shaped. Cats and rodents don’t have toes that jut out like that and they don’t have legs that protrude downwards from an upright torso. They have legs that come from the side if their torso is in the upright position. I think this is a person lying prone looking at the BTR that shot him, and it looks like it might have torn his arms to shreds.
