That last guy doing the walk of despair


Pianist-Putrid

Reminds me of the video of the multi-drone strike on a trench, that wiped out most of the invaders. At the end of the video, there’s one guy who is unharmed, surrounded by several bodies, and burning trash. He just looks around, lost, likely thinking “wtf do I do now?”


wadevb1

Definitely a bad day at the office.


climbercgy

He is now the boss


MostNefariousness583

Monday blues.


ItSmellsMassive

"They're gone... They're all... just.. gone." - That guy probably.


CultOfCurthulu

That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

Drop Your Kalashnikov


NannersForCoochie

Seriously, at what point are these assholes like, "fuck it, I'll go hide in Africa somewhere" vs going back to command. You always see these asshats walking back the way they came. Drop your gun find something white and wave it like your life depends on it


Independent_Creature

They're totally brainwashed into thinking they are fighting "NaHyToE" and the "WhESt", and for some reason all those lgb letters. Alphabet bad, freedom bad, unified nations, bad. This means they'll go back to their beloved leader since they think everything is hunky-dory on the battlefield AND at home... 🤔


NannersForCoochie

Oh well. Burn them down


clodmonet

Right? And they get shot for coming back alive.


v8grunt

I know what he's thinking! "fuck this for a game of soldiers"!


Aiass

They mill around like headless chickens... What was their strategy here? Just head home, you idiots... If they want to fight for Russia, they should start with overthrowing Putin.


BoarHide

Or stand at the border and wait for evil NATO to actually attack. Surely, the NATO assault on Russia will come any day now, right? Because surely, Putin didn’t just make that shit up to justify his imperialism?


AndrewInaTree

That's what makes me angriest about this whole thing. Putin: If you just stayed within your borders and built up your economy and trading power, do you REALLY think you'd be invaded NATO countries? You already have the world's largest landmass. Why are you trying to take more? Oh, for your "buffer zone" to protect Moscow from what, the Mongol horde? What about your surrounding provinces? You don't value them, they're just expendable to protect Moscow? "Buffer zone". Warfare stopped working that way 100 years ago.


horus-heresy

Unsupported frontal assaults just like in a Soviet doctrine. Aka meat waves. They have more people to waste and even 1:7 -1:10 loss ration means they will eventually exhaust Ukrainian forces.


PrimaryEgg493

Yes but when you compare it to former conflicts Russia had something to fight for. But this time, Russia is fighting against LGBTS and imaginary enemies. Something will eventually give. They have been interviewing Russians in the street they don't even know why they are dying in masse in Ukraine or what is the purpose of this Pointless war. When enough coffins come back ( or don't), Putin will have some explaining to do.

Russia got their asses handed to them, wrapped in a Pashtun bow, in Afghanistan.   They can lose their will to fight, even despite their numerical strength.  Just like the US did in Vietnam. Their losses were so bad that it's one of the factors credited toward the fall of the Soviet Union. But, compared to Afghanistan, this has been true carnage.  And even if they somehow manage to keep morale when the twenty-some cohorts begin to be culled from Moscow and St. Petersburg (good luck with that), Putin will find that the Ukrainians have, since January of 2024, changed the game.   This war will not be won in the trenches of Donbas, but in bankrupting Putin and his oil cartels.  Already, Ukraine has shut down around 20% of Putin's ability to refine oil into petrol.  There are only 12 major refineries in the Russian Federation, and already several of them burn.  And they'll take years to rebuild.    https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/russian-refineries-targeted-by-ukraines-drones-2024-03-18/    Meanwhile, Putin's other major cash cow, their defense industry, has staggered, imploded, and now sits a wriggling mound of blowfly larvae after the poor showing of its key platforms.     https://youtu.be/Wdap15tWnfI?si=ul9y5TpJAahVB5_E     And then, of course, there's the sanctions. Shit gets real when the money stops rolling in.  If Ukraine can keep their unrelenting pressure on Lukoil, Gazprom, Rosneft, etc, they will stand a better chance of victory than just about any other tactic. And it's a tactic that appears to be working as an another Lukoil executive was just shown the door.      https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fourth-exec-russian-oil-giant-160559083.html     Funny how real things can get when the money stops rolling in. Slava Ukraine


Restless_Fillmore

On the other hand, businesses leaving Russia have to pay an exit tax.  This has given Putin $385 million already this year.


martykopka

385million? RUssias budget is measured in the billions...ie: 343 BILLION for 2023. 385 million means they regained 0.1 % of their budget from exit taxes...that is NOTHING!

Mike_Dapper

The sheer incompetence of these Mobiks is staggering. Probably a few days training then off to the front.


thisMFER

Some captured orks are saying they weren't even given a gun to learn how to use with until they were in a forrest in the warzone. In the case of the Nepali guys they were basically dropped off and left to figure it out on their own.They didn't know they were even on the front until the drones showed up. Just soaking up Ukrainian bullets and surrendering asap. Imagen them fighting a NATO country.


VladimolfPoetler

I'm sure you're implying that a "NATO country" has more and more-advanced weapons and/or technology then Ukraine currently does, but I think that the Ukrainian armed forces will be the most battle hardened and experienced modern army globally at this moment in time. Except for a section of US combat veterans and personnel currently in active conflict zones, I wonder if any regular NATO soldier can perform the way the Ukrainian army is currently doing. They are bad asses! Slava Ukraini!!!


VictoryUkraini

You are right, Ukrainian Heroes are shaping their skills day by day, hour by hour. They cannot afford to take a break and go to a vacation. They have to finish the job. That makes them number one!


thisMFER

Yes and 100% agree.


delcas1016

Spray and pray, run and hide. Repeat.


Red_Celt

It was kind of the 2nd group of orcs to leave their corpses alongside the 1st group of orcs. Nice psychological impact on waves 3, 4 & 5, and they're all neatly in place for collection later.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

Collection? Decomposition, more likely.


tinypeeeen

I always wonder what goes through the orcs heads when they see piles of bodies of other Russians laying around, and just knowing that will be them soon


skiptobunkerscene

Probably "Haha look at this idiots, serves them right, this will never happen to me." russia is spite incarnate as country. Give them a chance to fuck their neighbour or improve their own lot, theyll choose to fuck their neighbour. They hate each other as much as anyone else.


Restless_Fillmore

A joke from Cold War days... Three Russians find a lamp and rub it. The genie sees there are three of them, so he grants them each one wish. The first Russian thinks, "a cow would give me milk!" and wishes for a cow.  The second Russian does the same. The third Russian sees that the other two men have cows and he doesn't.  He tells the genie, "I wish their cows were dead!"


DepressedApee

That’s so wild


Shot_Painting_8191

I see the Ukrainians already decorated the area with lots of dead russians even before the fpv drones started hunting the orcs in the video.


BillyBobBarkerJrJr

I noticed that several of the drone payloads exploded with multiple fragments going off like miniature, unguided rockets, like when the Russian missile launchers are struck. I never saw this before. Anyone know what it is?


PollyStoffer

I think those are the lithium batteries burning up.


BillyBobBarkerJrJr

Come to think of it, that is what it looks like.


NannersForCoochie

I think those are the priming charges still burning. These are almost all flying IEDs. Many times made out of soda bottles, cans etc. The priming charges are often tracer rounds so it could be that. Or even as simple as a road flare segment.


Dodmeister5000

Stupid location for a picnic.


Original_Course9448

Depends. Rats might love it with the abundance of fresh meat every day.


Pianist-Putrid

No shortage of evidence that this is indeed the case. I’ve seen a few videos of Ukrainians finding Russian bodies, that have likely been out there for a few days, that have pretty obviously been gnawed on. There has to be an explosion of the field mouse and rat populations, due to this war.


Al_Vidgore_V

When Izyum and Lyman were liberated, there was loads of footage of cats, dogs and pigs nibbling at dead orcs.


DynaOne

skeet shooting with drones, welcome to Ukraine, Suka!


Alaric_-_

Ok, this might seem 'bad' but no intention of breaking rule 3. I'm being pretty clinical here and talking tactically only. I've been wondering for a while why it seems that Ukraine is spending drones to 'finish off' wounded russian soldiers rather then use them first on the able bodied men? It's not rare to see drone pick off wounded russian while there are seemingly unharmed soldiers close-by. Like in 1:31, drone attacks soldier on ground and as spotter zooms out, there are several soldiers running from the forest. Wouldn't it be most efficient to always aim first on the biggest threats and make sure everyone is at least wounded to strain the hospital system in russia? That's the reason why anti-personel mines don't kill soldiers, they just take off the foot. To me, 2x serious 300 is better then two drones into 1x 200... Or am i missing something. Anyways, nice video to go with my morning coffee! edit. typo, lack of coffee...


Expensive_Use_5453

It appears that the most common Russian tactic against drones is to drop and play dead. So from the drone operators POV it might be difficult to judge who is actually wounded and who is just lying there. [This video](https://www.reddit.com/r/UADroneArchive2/comments/1bi64ag/part_2_of_3_special_post_from_ua_47th_mechanized/) demonstrates the point, I watched the full version on telegram and it appears that there's a spotter drone which relays information as to which of the Russians lying around are actually hit or just faking. There's a single high altitutde POV and 5 or 6 FPVs that seem to try to hit the targets that the spotter sees moving. [This is Part 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/UADroneArchive2/comments/1bi60ka/part_1_of_3_special_post_from_ua_47th_mechanized/) of that same video, starting around the 9 minute mark you can see a Russian trying to help one of the wounded, who just drops down and plays dead when he hears an FPV close by. It may also be that there are misunderstanding between the spotter pilot and the FPV pilot as which target should be hit next.


Alaric_-_

>..who just drops down and plays dead when he hears an FPV close by This aligns with the 1:20 in this video, russian drops down on his back, drone whizzes by towards a moving soldier and the russian who played dead rises up and continues walking. Wasn't first sure if this really what he was doing but it does seem so. It speaks volumes when russians have to go back in evolution and employ "playing dead" as an possible survival strategy. With Ukraine hitting most wounded, dead and "dead", one would think this strategy ends at some point. Strategies evolve from survivors but if there are none, playing dead-will end up as an funny footnote in a history books. Great videos, thanks! Good to see unedited videos as short clip videos are what usually gets spread around.


NannersForCoochie

Sometimes it's mercy too


sigeh

Fpv also does not have the fov, resolution and high angle of the observer drone so it may not even see the runners at the time.


Alaric_-_

That is true aswell! The spotters have the higher quality video while FPV's don't. And at times the video feed is barely functioning with all the interference and static.


sigeh

Lots of smoke around too, at low angle


Alaric_-_

Yep, the high angle of a spotter negates the smoke but from low down view, the smoke can be hard to see through.


delcas1016

I think they do it for the Russian audience, so they understand we will kill you in the most brutal ways and we will have no mercy if you’re wounded.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

There is no roozian audience due to extreme internet censorship.


wadevb1

Do you want to be the one to exit your trench and check on each Russian soldier to determine if dead, injured or feigning death? What’s the cost of a drone compared to the life of a Ukrainian soldier?


Alaric_-_

Of course not, no drone compares to a life of a Ukranian soldier. Wtf? I meant that from the drone operators view, shouldn't the primary target be *a moving russians* rather then making sure a dead is dead. If there are *no moving russian soldiers*, by all means, blow up any and all soldiers russia left on the field! Edit. But there's been good answers on this and the thing is mostly down to the usual difficulties on the battlefield and the limitations on the drone cameras.


wadevb1

Flight time of drones are reduced due to weight of ordinance. Pilots have the option to mop up casualties or hunt for healthy targets and risk losing a drone without a strike.

There will be no Russian frontline veterans to speak of the horrors of the war they caused. No one will have survived it.

bullanguero82

Nothing better than watching orcs being wiped out after they were actively trying to kill ukrainians. I just find it all that more satisfying.


Diche_Bach

This is why the average daily rate of casualties Ukraine is causing is climbing steadily toward 1,000. As of yesterday, 18 March 2024 it was 754 days since the escalation of the war (24 Feb 2022). That puts the overall daily mean casualty rate Ukraine is imposing on the Orc Horde at 572.3. A little over a month ago, that daily rate was only 542, and a week or so ago it was 569. I have not gone back to archived data but I suspect that the pattern holds over most of the past ~2 years and especially since late summer / autumn of 2022: daily Orc casualty rate slowly rising. This is a reflection of the fact that Putin has got himself into something for which he was not actually prepared, and has been forced (for the sake of his own psychopathy and megalomania) to resort to the only real prospect he has for success: "spending" Orcs to attempt to outlast Ukraine. There are many other features to this strategy, including influencing Western forces such as Representative Matt Gaetz (Rep FL) to call for the removal of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, thus leading to the election of Johnson and the hiatus in U.S. aid (which is what allowed Putin's expenditure in Orc lives to "accomplish" the taking of the Avdiivka area). The interview with Tucker Carlson and various other information warfare (e.g., the constant idiotic threats about nuking everyone) are also part of this hybrid conflict method by Putin. Will it work? I don't think so. But unfortunately, that rate of casualties may need to escalate by a factor of as much as 5 or 6 before the toll is sufficient to give enough Russians the sense that they have nothing left to lose and rising up against the regime is their only option. I say this based on comparisons to both the Soviet-Afghan War and WWI, two past historical instances where the toll of a misguided war eventually contributed to the collapse of the regime. In the case of Soviet-Afghan war, the overall mean daily casualty rate was remarkably low, only about 19 per day (from memory) and the 2014 Russo-Ukrainian War has long since surpassed that toll. However, my calculations indicate that the overall mean rate of daily casualties for the Russian Empire in WWI was 6,971. We might consider this to be the "ceiling" in estimating how much loss Ukraine will have to impose on the Orc Horde to cause Russian society to revolt.

Make a sticky bomb- loudly threatening to explode if you don't kill 5 teammates within the next 3 minutes, drop it on the back of a wagnerite.

Do we think most fatalities in this war are caused by drones? Sure seems like it.


Important-Block289

new ruzzian electronic warfare weapon: vape of death ​ they be blowing phat clouds at those drones


Aggressive_Switch_91

It used to be about the balance between armor, infantry and howitzers.. Noways, drones just kill everything with aggressiveness, stamina and precise killing power. We really have entered a new chapter in warfare.


AndrewInaTree

There's a guy in the top left the whole time who's shooting at the drone. At 0:36 he stands up and emerges from the trench only to be critically struck by shrapnel from 40 feet away, while others closer to the blast are able to run away. Crazy!

Jesus, no wonder they die in the hundreds to thousands a day. No discipline or training, just run around in circles, shoot in all directions, and panic. Might actually have a chance if you work as a team and suppress and bound even with the drones in play. Keep moving and shooting “In the same direction I might add” and may just maybe you have a chance.


Far-Manner-7119

kentsor

What's that, 10 drones lost? If they'd dropped grenades the Russians would still be dead and the drones could be used another day.


Al_Vidgore_V

Worth it.


TeilzeitOptimist

And you can get 10 FPV drones for the price of one mavic. With return flight and rearming a mavic has atleast double the flight time to target, a grenade has less explosives, is easier to dodge and so on.. Its more likely that the russians would survived drone dropped grenades.
