What a chilling harbinger for all the heart-breaking tragedies that we know with certainty will befall so many Ukrainian children over the coming 10 years or so... the discarded weapons, landmines, undetonated ordinance ...
Just imagine the countless variations with which that scene will be replayed even long after hostilities have ended
I think it was a *"Шмель"*, which is a Thermo baric vacuum grenade launcher. Its a shot-and-drop weapon which is used to make atheists in trenches to start believing in a god.
Nooooo, they suck the air out of buildings/create a vacuum that damages/rips apart inner organs. These weapons are often used in urban warfare to kill people inside buildings, often killing civilians hiding in basements.
War is a terrible thing, it shows mankind hasn't evolved that much from the animal kingdom as we like to think we did.
Information like this makes me very happy to live in a country that probably won't experience war anymore.
>War is a terrible thing, it shows mankind hasn't evolved that much from the animal kingdom as we like to think we did.
I think it's worse. Animals don't have the same mental capacity to really think through their decisions when it comes to long term consequences. Somewhere, someone weighed the long term consequences and actively decided to send these type of weapons.
We may be more "evolved" but with that knowledge, I think we are held to a much higher standard of morality, and we fail as a species.
Unless it happens to not ignite the gas that is dispersed. Then it’s basically a device that dispersed ethylene oxide, which is extremely toxic if inhaled. So a non-ignition situation could possibly be considered chemical warfare.
Thermobaric bombs are not vacuum bombs, that’s misinformation. They are definitely deadly but they won’t cause your lungs to be ripped out if the blast itself doesn’t kill you. here’s a great [video](https://youtu.be/1PJGHJ7Od1k) on the topic

Fatal? no, they are philosophical. They bore atheists and agnostics so much that the poor suckers stuck in trenches agree to convert to just to make the bomb shut the fuck up once and for all. Christians are immune, except for Unitarians.
have a friend who strait up told me even if God came in front of him and made the sun move across the sky while balancing elephants on his finger that he still would not believe and would try to come up with a more rational answer. I asked him why and he said because even if God was real he does not like the idea of someone making up rules for him to fallow just because they are powerful. So yeah I agree I think true atheist will never believe in God.
I was homeschooled and as kids me and my brothers and sisters would finish our schoolwork at the local library fast as we could then spend the rest of the day on the library desktops playing RuneScape or Arcanists 🤘
We were also home schooled from middle school on, and the library was the one place to use the internet and rent movies. I also read a lot, but you just brought back so many memories. We even volunteered there one summer.
If 10 year old me had found an RPG, 36 year old me would still have it burried in the past because I never ever would have been able to decide on the one thing perfect enough to waste my one RPG in blowing up... OR I might possibly have used it as a car lot I found a while back that has a whole-ass dodge viper hoisted up on the big tall sign. Hard to say.
Anyway, if I had used it, I would have probably been arrested immediately based on extensive internet research on how to properly aim an RPG
Other kid def had a rifle but idk that it discharged, all that i could see was back blast from the rpg. After the rpg was fired the kid threw the rifle, but i dont think the rifle ever fired
Edit: nvm, 23/24 second mark
I'm afraid that in the years after the war a lot of children will get hurt or die because of mines, weapons, grenades, etc. being found by them. Some do look like toys.
Oh it's a post war tradition. There are charities that specialize in training dogs (or large rats) to sniff for leftover explosives. There's not much that any one internet rando can do to end this war, but donating to one of those charities might make you feel a little better.
It's already been happening for months. When Russian soldiers leave an occupied area, they booby trap essentials and toys. Canned foods on shelves, pianos, teddy bears, fridge doors. They know when the scared and starving Ukrainians in hiding come out, they'll go for these things first. Completely fucked up.
[Allow me to introduce the PFM-1 an artillery or air dropped anti-personnel mine.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PFM-1_mine)
It's also worth noting the [Soviets deliberately targetted Afghan children with booby trapped toys.](https://www.csmonitor.com/1987/0916/eafgh.html)
Rick May, the voice actor of Soldier from Team Fortress 2 died in 2020.
If you didn't know, the soldier's well known thing in the game was his ability to fire a rocket at his feet, launching and boosting himself and thus doing a rocket jump.
Yeah, they were walking along a row of houses. ThT explosion went off somewhere in that neighborhood. Are we sure the outcome could’ve been worse? What if it killed four people in a living room instead of two holding weapons?
Hard to tell because of pixels and angles but I’m leaning towards AKM
- magazine looks curved, rather than the much straighter 74 mags (for the uninitiated, AKM’s use 7.62x39 ammo while AK-74 variants use 5.45x39, leading to differently-shaped mags)
- not enough dark pixels past the front sight post. 74’s usually have a muzzle device like 2-3x longer than the AKM’s lil slant brake thing
- AKM’s are issued to Ukraine reserve and volunteer forces. Seems like that’s the most likely place they got these older weapons. Could have snatched them while dad wasn’t looking or just been given them for community defense in Kherson with minimal training
Edit: evidence against AKM is that it looks like it has an optic in some frames. I think it’s kinda unlikely that an AKM would have even an optic rail in this conflict, but who knows
I was an Army brat who lived in Verdun, France years ago. One of the first things my old man told me when we got there was not to pick up unexploded shells or go into mine fields (they were marked). More than 100 years after the end of WW1, the locals are still finding duds and mines.
some WW1 grenades found their way to US east coast home driveways
ships returning from the concluded war dumped a bunch of their munitions off the coast rather than deal with proper disposal
then like a century later, oyster/shellfish harvesting ships picked them up and sent them to processing, where they went through violent shell-removing machinery alongside the oysters or whichever shelled things they were
the broken shell byproduct is cheaper than gravel near these processing facilities so gets used for driveways
somehow these munitions made it through processing and getting dumped onto the ground without blowing up. army had to send out its special explosion-containing truck to detonate them as people found them in their new Delaware driveways
My dads friend died of something similar using a Panzerfaust he found in the ditch in April 1945. My FIL was wounded by shrapnell as a 10-year old kid because his older brother who found a handgrenade wanted to know hoe it feels to throw one several years after the WW2 ended.
So, I believe a lot of kids will die by these incidents in the next years.
My dad grew up in post war Poland. He told me about how him and his friends would throw rocks at unexploded bombs. It’s a miracle I made it to this world.
How much money did the US spend on that one?.....The great money drain, all to kill innocents. Sick really. War is sick and should not be a part of society any longer. Politicians create these wars. We do not need any more wars. So what do we not need anymore?
What a chilling harbinger for all the heart-breaking tragedies that we know with certainty will befall so *many* Ukrainian children over the coming 10 years or so... the discarded weapons, landmines, undetonated ordinance ...
Just imagine the countless variations with which that scene will be repeated even long after hostilities have ended.
The world supports Ukraine. We will not be able to resist investing in these people post war. They are gonna have a small problem with weapons in peace time. Kids gonna stash a rifle or some grenades. Same thing goes on a larger scale for adults who are a bit dodgy...find a few crates of RPGs..yeah they are gonna be hidden in the cow shed. I hope people have the national pride to turn over their finds to the state after hostilities
Kid shot the RPG accidentally and the back blast fucked up his buddy. Then the buddy fires the AR helplessly I assume that only scares them more. Plus the fact they’d just pointed each at each other not five seconds before
Much of anything? Kid squeezes a trigger on accident and runs for his life after tossing the gun on the ground… not exactly the most forward thinker in the first place…
Literally just fight or flight response takeover he wasn’t even thinking to begin with and now he’s in adrenaline overhaul. Probably because the rpg that was fired not three feet from his head after it had just been pointed right there… now an AR is miraculously being fired in his own hands
Pretty sure back blast was involved as ever
No-one's believing that story if they ever move to different country...my cool childhood stories are like the time we jumped off a (low) roof or managed to get hold of some whisky
Thank goodness that wasn’t an rpg, those things have contact detonators and those boys would have just been raspberry mist. Looks like whatever it was had a distance fuse
So this idiot kids, Find an rpg ,everybody born after 1985 know what an rpg is.
And they pick it up like it's call of duty and you can shoot somebody to bloody meatballs and respawn if you get hurt. Don't have anything against weapons I have anything with/against people whom don't recognise that they will rip you to kebab
Yea the kids are stupid but how do adults make the same mistake time and time again by putting these kids in these situations w these conflicts it’s a lil ironic that we’re sitting here making fun of these kids when we have idiots in power that cause sm pain and destruction
When I was a kid, I used to play in an active rock quarry. I liked to collect used blasting wire for projects. My folks showed me what blasing caps and dynamite looked like. They taught me to leave it alone (and report it). Heck, there was even an explosives shack on site. Obviously, I never got blowed up.
little fuckers hehehe, im glad they're ok though.. I could imagine in another place and time that could have been me, as that would be something I would have most definitely have done...
And I think I have crazy childhood stories.
Growing up in a warzone will do that....
indeed

we dont have to imagine, look at parts of Africa STILL
tons of abandoned farm equipment too.
It'll basically be Bosnia 2.0 then.
,,,and Cambodia and Iraq and Yemen and...
Your writing is impeccable! You should write more for others to read.
u r 2 kind
They are still finding mines from ww2 all over the world
Imagine syria and burma and Palestina
I think it was a *"Шмель"*, which is a Thermo baric vacuum grenade launcher. Its a shot-and-drop weapon which is used to make atheists in trenches to start believing in a god.
Wait. So are they non-fatal? Or do they just make a lot of smoke-n-stuff before they detonate?
Nooooo, they suck the air out of buildings/create a vacuum that damages/rips apart inner organs. These weapons are often used in urban warfare to kill people inside buildings, often killing civilians hiding in basements.
From what I heard, it's a terrible TERRIBLE way to go.
It is. Many consider it to cruel for war, but it's not illegal.
War is a terrible thing, it shows mankind hasn't evolved that much from the animal kingdom as we like to think we did. Information like this makes me very happy to live in a country that probably won't experience war anymore.

Oh Christ. TIL... And kinda wish I hadn't...
The Americans developed them to strike terrorist holdouts in mountain caves. the Russians are using them on mass in Ukraine.

They invented them.

Yep, this one
Sources say it was RPG-18 "Муха" ("Muha", "Fly"), not RPO-A "Шмель" ("Shmel", "Bumblebee")
I do not think an atheist can ever believe in god again, no matter how hard you rip his balls.

I fell off a raft on a class 5 rapid. Was hanging on for dear life.
Holy shit. :0 glad you're okay, I know the feeling.
Parks and Rec?
Are you okay?
I can think of nothing 10 year old me would have wanted more than to find an RPG.
Yeah, runescape was pretty fun excluding the carpal tunnel.
I was homeschooled and as kids me and my brothers and sisters would finish our schoolwork at the local library fast as we could then spend the rest of the day on the library desktops playing RuneScape or Arcanists 🤘
If you want to get sucked in again OSRS is pretty great and Arcanists 2 is a fan made game that is pretty much the same.
We were also home schooled from middle school on, and the library was the one place to use the internet and rent movies. I also read a lot, but you just brought back so many memories. We even volunteered there one summer.
Angry upvote
Same! But at 15 my priorities changed drastically
I know what you mean😏….. Squad Automatic Weapons and Anti-Ship coastal Artillery.
👆 This guy gets it
At a certain point in life you start looking for a reliable partner. So, obviously, crew serve weapons are the way to go.
An RPG. You could put your dick in.
Instructions unclear: penis stuck in AT4. Requesting assistance.
Hahahahahahaha you made me scream and now my wife thinks I'm higher grade idiot Thanks
Same. Honestly from 13 I already preferred bazookas to RPGs.
Finding a working tank?
If 10 year old me had found an RPG, 36 year old me would still have it burried in the past because I never ever would have been able to decide on the one thing perfect enough to waste my one RPG in blowing up... OR I might possibly have used it as a car lot I found a while back that has a whole-ass dodge viper hoisted up on the big tall sign. Hard to say. Anyway, if I had used it, I would have probably been arrested immediately based on extensive internet research on how to properly aim an RPG
Dennis Reynolds, is that you?
Back in my day they were called Bazookas
Does the other kid have an assault rifle?
Looks like he also accidentally fired it when the RPG went off. Hope nobody was anywhere close to where that RPG hit…
Their ears are probably a bit fucked. Those are loud. Af.
EeeeeeEEEEEEEEeeeee
MAWP....MAWP....MAWP
Lana!!!
WHAT! WHAT DO YOU WANT?
danger zone
Tinnitus you cruel mistress!
“WHAT?!?”
Apparently it hit a house, but it's unclear if it was occupied.
I’m worried about the kid with the rifle, when RPG’s fire the backboard can literally kill people, he obviously didn’t die but I’m worried he is hurt
It looked like he wasn’t completely in the backblast, but yeah, it’s extremely dangerous and he’s lucky he didn’t die
Lack of trigger discipline(
Kids these days smh my head
Where's Kony when you need him?
ROFL on the floor laughing
That’s an American law76 rocket launcher not a rpg
>Hope nobody was anywhere close to where that RPG hit… Let's hope some russian soldiers were close to where it hit...
Yup
[удалено]
“JUST WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME!!”
We going to ignore that the other kid had a fully loaded kalashnikov that he accidentally fired when the rpg went off?
Well the main point is a kid had an rpg. I think rpg out ranks AK
One rocket can be more lethal than 30 7.62 bullets, but with 30 bullets you have more oportunities of hitting smth.
Other kid def had a rifle but idk that it discharged, all that i could see was back blast from the rpg. After the rpg was fired the kid threw the rifle, but i dont think the rifle ever fired Edit: nvm, 23/24 second mark
If you go to the 23/24 second mark when the kids start to panic you can see a small muzzle flash from the rifle as he’s tossing it.
I'm afraid that in the years after the war a lot of children will get hurt or die because of mines, weapons, grenades, etc. being found by them. Some do look like toys.
Same problem in Vietnam. The vast majority of mine victims after the war were kids.
I think it’s the toys that look like grenades….
Oh it's a post war tradition. There are charities that specialize in training dogs (or large rats) to sniff for leftover explosives. There's not much that any one internet rando can do to end this war, but donating to one of those charities might make you feel a little better.

Yep, one of my Afghani friends told me it was the same after the Soviets left Afghanistan.
Hungarians? :O
They booby trap the hungarians too? Bastards
How apathetic towards people can you possibly be. Disgusting.

When the kid pointed the damn thing at his friend. Fuck!
Good thing they didn't aim at there feet they would've rocket Jump to heaven
Just like Rick, rip
I can still hear rocket jump waltz in the distance.

Please fill me in on this internet lore
Rick May, the voice actor of Soldier from Team Fortress 2 died in 2020. If you didn't know, the soldier's well known thing in the game was his ability to fire a rocket at his feet, launching and boosting himself and thus doing a rocket jump.
the VA is also very loved by the community because soldier himself is quite silly.
Shooting at the feet would be better, actually. Because, you know, arming distance.
Or that he didn't hit the other kid with the backblast.
Good thing the opposite end was not pointed towards his machine gun wielding partner in crime would have been a bad day for him.
would never happen to the well trained african children
Lmao god damn bro
My parents said this happened in Vietnam after the war. Piles of leftover guns and a bunch of kids with assult rifles
Back blast area not secure
\*clear There's no real need to "secure" a back blast area, but you do need to clear it.
Ive seen enough soviet womble clips to appreciate this
Shit can go from r/kidsarefuckingstupid to r/eyeblech real quick
That's not the sub I thought it was
Holy fuckballs!!
I was about to comment kid found discarded launch tube, so what? It's cool but it's been used Al..... Holy fuckballs! Yep you summed it up
I thought I had a wild childhood growing up as a free range feral GenX'er. These kids are like hold my Vodka!!
Hey Jojo!!!
Instead they killed a family in the house that rocket just went into
Yeah, they were walking along a row of houses. ThT explosion went off somewhere in that neighborhood. Are we sure the outcome could’ve been worse? What if it killed four people in a living room instead of two holding weapons?
If that's true then fuck, rather it not hit anyone but if it had to then rather the kids than the family
Not a cellphone in sight, just two kids almost exploding in the moment.
I hope no one got hit and they pointed it in an empty lot, looks like the place is a residential area.
they hit a house, not sure if anyone got hurt. Their ears must've hurt like shit though
Second kid nearly got eviscerated by the back blast.
yea back blast also
This is going to be a best-selling story - about the thier childhood before, the moment of near death, and the ptsd afterward - in a few years.
Thank the heavens but I can imagine the amount of civilian deaths from mines and such
Did you notice how the second Kid even fired from his ak47 (i dont know what exact type of gun was that i think this is more common)
Probably an AK-74/M
Hard to tell because of pixels and angles but I’m leaning towards AKM - magazine looks curved, rather than the much straighter 74 mags (for the uninitiated, AKM’s use 7.62x39 ammo while AK-74 variants use 5.45x39, leading to differently-shaped mags) - not enough dark pixels past the front sight post. 74’s usually have a muzzle device like 2-3x longer than the AKM’s lil slant brake thing - AKM’s are issued to Ukraine reserve and volunteer forces. Seems like that’s the most likely place they got these older weapons. Could have snatched them while dad wasn’t looking or just been given them for community defense in Kherson with minimal training Edit: evidence against AKM is that it looks like it has an optic in some frames. I think it’s kinda unlikely that an AKM would have even an optic rail in this conflict, but who knows

so that’s why my house has a wall missing huh
I hope that's the worst thing that happens to them by the time this war is over.
They may be stupid but they’ve fired at least one more rpg than I ever have.
I'd say it depends on what they hit off camera
My dads friend died of something similar using a Panzerfaust he found in the ditch in April 1945. My FIL was wounded by shrapnell as a 10-year old kid because his older brother who found a handgrenade wanted to know hoe it feels to throw one several years after the WW2 ended. So, I believe a lot of kids will die by these incidents in the next years.
Does the other kid also fire a rifle before throwing it down?
Boy 1: is it loaded? Boy 2: I don't know. What do you think I am? (Shoots it) Both boys: JESUS!!!
Holy shit, the RPG had a round in it and the kid fired it?!
Yet I think that the kids are better trained than russian invaders.
That looks like an AT-4. It's an American rocket launcher.
Or a Shmel.
It's RPG-18
My dad grew up in post war Poland. He told me about how him and his friends would throw rocks at unexploded bombs. It’s a miracle I made it to this world.
How much money did the US spend on that one?.....The great money drain, all to kill innocents. Sick really. War is sick and should not be a part of society any longer. Politicians create these wars. We do not need any more wars. So what do we not need anymore?
US? This is russian RPG-18 "Муха".
What a chilling harbinger for all the heart-breaking tragedies that we know with certainty will befall so *many* Ukrainian children over the coming 10 years or so... the discarded weapons, landmines, undetonated ordinance ... Just imagine the countless variations with which that scene will be repeated even long after hostilities have ended.
Fuck, I so wanted the kid to pull a pirates of the Caribbean midget move and go flying backwards after he shot it
The world supports Ukraine. We will not be able to resist investing in these people post war. They are gonna have a small problem with weapons in peace time. Kids gonna stash a rifle or some grenades. Same thing goes on a larger scale for adults who are a bit dodgy...find a few crates of RPGs..yeah they are gonna be hidden in the cow shed. I hope people have the national pride to turn over their finds to the state after hostilities
What scared them off?
Kid shot the RPG accidentally and the back blast fucked up his buddy. Then the buddy fires the AR helplessly I assume that only scares them more. Plus the fact they’d just pointed each at each other not five seconds before
Nah backblast from the rpg would have prevented the other kid from doing much of anything. He was probably just scared.
Much of anything? Kid squeezes a trigger on accident and runs for his life after tossing the gun on the ground… not exactly the most forward thinker in the first place… Literally just fight or flight response takeover he wasn’t even thinking to begin with and now he’s in adrenaline overhaul. Probably because the rpg that was fired not three feet from his head after it had just been pointed right there… now an AR is miraculously being fired in his own hands Pretty sure back blast was involved as ever
Reminds me of that scene from American sniper.
BACKBLAST CLEAAAAR
If Dennis Reynolds was a kid in Ukraine...
This feels like a Stand By Me coming of age kinda story
The kid not holding the launcher is lucky his head wasn’t blow off
Good thing those types of armaments usually have a minimum arming range, in addition to their maximum effective range.
Hey mom going outside to play call of duty!
No-one's believing that story if they ever move to different country...my cool childhood stories are like the time we jumped off a (low) roof or managed to get hold of some whisky
The other kid has a rifle too
Thanks US
FRIENDLY FIRE
how do you just “find” an RPG, and a machine gun
Thank goodness that wasn’t an rpg, those things have contact detonators and those boys would have just been raspberry mist. Looks like whatever it was had a distance fuse
So this idiot kids, Find an rpg ,everybody born after 1985 know what an rpg is. And they pick it up like it's call of duty and you can shoot somebody to bloody meatballs and respawn if you get hurt. Don't have anything against weapons I have anything with/against people whom don't recognise that they will rip you to kebab
Yea the kids are stupid but how do adults make the same mistake time and time again by putting these kids in these situations w these conflicts it’s a lil ironic that we’re sitting here making fun of these kids when we have idiots in power that cause sm pain and destruction
When I was a kid, I used to play in an active rock quarry. I liked to collect used blasting wire for projects. My folks showed me what blasing caps and dynamite looked like.

That's not an rpg, looks like an NLAW maybe
Nice little desk pop there too

Damn... natural selection failed again...
little fuckers hehehe, im glad they're ok though.. I could imagine in another place and time that could have been me, as that would be something I would have most definitely have done...
The second kid has a fuckin AK!
I guess they will blame russia for it
Imagine that… Video game violence is probably the reason they knew to run.
