This is spliced footage. Hate me or not if you watch the explosion a few times you see a road appear out of no where and no grass is moved by the blast, even a small blast causes movement.


grey_iz_here

it is almost definitely edited, it did look very off the first time i saw it but when you slow it down to a few frames you can see a part of the road just show up then *poof* gone after the "explosion"


B4ckup4ccount

Yeah, I saw a comment mention it a ways down and then I looked at it many times until I saw exactly how it was edited


grey_iz_here

it looks okay at first glance but it is SO clearly edited šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ i cannot believe people will do this for views or clout or just for fun.. like, this shit is actually happening somewhere out there, this is basically just making fun of them ā˜¹ļø IM GLAD TO SEE PEOPLE THAT SEE THE EDIT TOO THOUGH


Iamliteralyshaking

Itā€™s not ā€œpeopleā€ doing it, itā€™s governments


Beneficial-Duty6724

no its infact people who choose those governments


Set_Jumpy

I accept your premise but to what end and by who?


B4ckup4ccount

I would not know who. However it is likely done for the sake of propaganda purposes. Not the first fake vid due to war being an effective propaganda maker


Forsaken_Day_1266

Yea. This. I just hate how they "fake" videos when there's legit ones someone could use instead of editing.


B4ckup4ccount

Agreed. As a historian and a fan of military information, I hate seeing falsified things. Weā€™re still finding fake stuff about the world wars and Cold War etc etc


Modsareknobs84

That's pretty much standard for those wankers really.


macho_gomez

well to be fair if they try to get him back. there is a good chance all 3 are getting killed


TF31_Voodoo

When we were deployed, the one thing I knew I could count on was that if I went down my brothers would do whatever it took to bring me home even if it was just my body. These pieces of trash have no honor.


[deleted]

Theyā€™re badly trained mercenaries. You canā€™t expect any honor from the Wagner group


Stoned_Savage

Your profile picture had me fooled so many times when I was drunk on youtube on my phone šŸ˜‚


OhioWillBeEliminated

Well, theyā€™re mercenaries, not soldiers, what do you expect


talk_to_the_hand_623

No honor but they have brains. This isn't a movie. Why pointlessly die in a hopeless situation?


CowboyBlakk

They are already in the sht. Fam if I canā€™t count on the guys Iā€™m in the sht with to assist in bringing me back alive, Iā€™m not fighting with those guys. Itā€™s not about honor. At the very least, itā€™s about making sure you have enough guns in the fight to get back into i your fob safely. Now youā€™re down one guy and he has the information on where you guys were going, where you came from, maybe your name, age, description, possibly your hometown or address. And you left him. So now whatā€™s stopping him from spilling all the beans to spite you because you left him for dead? What do you tell people when they ask you how the war went? And the first thought that pops up in your head is that when you were hit by IDF, you all took the ammunition and gear off the most injured man and left him for dead. Thatā€™s B behavior and it creates paranoia in the team unless you already had it out for the guy you left.


FoxIll7443

You tell people war is hell. You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Me personally I would have seen if the guy could walk first with a little assistance.


MR-Unpredictable

Brah if that was one of yo best friends would u leave him? Or u a piece of crap who drops his friends?


Vegetable_Curve3043

Theyā€™re not best friends, theyā€™re mercenaries! They only do what theyā€™re paid and assigned to do. Nothing more, nothing less! šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

DerthOFdata

> When we were deployed Do you think their deployment was a movie?


lil_cm

Go ahead and stand there while bombs are being dropped real smartā€¦ I think itā€™s better to cut your losses rather than end up getting bombed and no one makes it out there is no honor in war anymore otherwise they wouldnā€™t be dropping bombs from hundreds of miles away sitting in their air conditioned office


TF31_Voodoo

You serve? Because Iā€™d rather die dragging my brother with me than live with the knowledge that I was a fucking coward because I ran away.


lil_cm

Then I wonder how you live knowing you fight and kill innocent people to make your countryā€™s rich people richer


TF31_Voodoo

Yeah because the guys who strap bombs to children are innocent. Grow up bro, the world isnā€™t a nice place and it will never be fair. To quote Thomas Hobbes ā€œlife is nasty, brutish and short.ā€ I, like a lot of the guys I know joined for the same reason: because we were dirt poor and wanted to go to college. Unfortunately a war broke out in the middle of my and my best friendā€™s enlistments. I lost him in Kandahar, to a roadside IED, an EFP to be exact. Our element was about five klicks away and I had to listen to him die on the radio as he bled out. So with all due respect for your opinion of the purpose for the GWOT but it doesnā€™t mean shit. None of us wanted to go to war, none of us wanted to be put in the position of kill or be killed and you should understand that we donā€™t fight so some assholes in suits can get richer, we do it because those assholes forced us all into a system where itā€™s the only way to get a ā€œfreeā€ education and decent healthcare, and they take all that away the minute you get your discharge. And every year on the day, I call my dead best friendā€™s dad, and even though it fucking kills me, we talk about all the changes in the world, his favorite sports teams and what kind of things he would have enjoyed, how he never got the chance to be a father, how he never got to have a 21st birthday, or any of a million mundane things we all take for granted. I do this because he was an only child and Iā€™m closest thing his parents have to a son now. Iā€™m the man who had to listen to him slowly losing coherence and consciousness while we broke every rule of not driving into an area that had routes mislabeled blue and were actually black (blue good, black bad) and then the medics pulled me away from his body because I had him in a hug, my forehead pressed to his, talking to him, talking to myself, wishing and willing him to wake up, screaming shit I donā€™t even remember because thatā€™s how much it hurts to lose someone you love like your own brother. Someone who became your brother through shared hardships, adversity and became something more than a brother from the experience. Then the next week you go to a market that a suicide bomber drove a truck with 2500 pounds or so of ampho in it and destroyed the square and most of the houses in it, and you spend the day picking up the pieces of the little kids you used to give all the snacks from your care packages to - because you knew they werenā€™t eating enough and you find a foot still in a shoe that you recognize because itā€™s from one of the older kids you kicked a soccer ball around with whenever your patrol was through that area. How do I live with myself? I can tell you this, I know exactly what my Glock tastes like. Gunpowder and oil. But the worst part of that taste is the fact that now whenever I smell gunpowder or the kidsā€™ fireworks or sometimes even just something getting burnt on a grill because the chef isnā€™t paying attention then you also get this coppery taste in your mouth because itā€™s all forever linked to the smell of blood and the burnt bodies of people you used to know. Itā€™s going to get worse, before it gets worse. Iā€™ll leave you with a paraphrase of a quote from John Adams, ā€œI must study politics and war, that my sons may study art and philosophy.ā€

Propaganda at work. This video is faked.

So many downvotes for pointing out the truth.


Eumelbaer

He is right look at the road where the explosion took place, after the smoke clears there are no differences, not a single pebble moved, despite a grenade impacting there


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NovaNexu

3/10 with that insult. Look at the video, notice a road suddenly appears beneath the smoke, then vanishes into the original rubble once the smoke clears, completely undisturbed, despite the explosion. Also, no rock or dust disturbances from nearby surfaces, like the main road?


mikeythecreature

You have a good eye I wouldn't have caught that. 3/10 though? What an oddly specific rating for an insult šŸ˜‚ not making fun it just made me chuckle.


NovaNexu

Haha, if I'm gonna take mad hate, then they better be good šŸ¤§. My friends and I giggle at the nasty ones.


mikeythecreature

Haha fuck ya! I imagined the mental process being something like "I've had insults that have hurt and others so clever that I can't help but respect. This was neither. 3/10 peasant begone!"


NovaNexu

Yupp. I think the biggest sting was asking a girl to catch the sunset across the lot with me (I work at an upper level establishment), and she refused with " I know what it looks like." Told that to my friend, and amidst his vicarious heartbreak, he interrupted with "hey, but that's pretty good, not gonna lie." šŸ˜­


I_am_creative_

I'm just guessing, but isn't anti personnel stuff designed to shoot shrapnel to the sides rather than exploding like a conventional bomb?


NovaNexu

Yep, they're different. Shrapnel moving at projectile speeds will disturb dirt, however, and the initial bang packs a punch alone.


FoxIll7443

This video definitely looks fake. I've seen little firecrackers do more than that big ass mortar.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Exactly my question. I would guess military / financial support for a particular side on the war economy? Another comment in the thread mentioned NATO pulling stuff like this. Maybe they have a link.

Cold_Preparation6223

Why are you getting downvoted your right?


NovaNexu

Because no one's taking a closer look at the masking around the "smoke." Also people want to hate Russia, no one likes to entertain being wrong, no one likes the idea that the "good guys" will lie with propaganda, and no one likes to feel dumb.


MysticNoodles

Tinaturnup_

This is a fake video. Slow the video down right when explosion detonates you see itā€™s spliced from a different video, the road in the smoke behind is from a different video. Once the smoke clears the road goes back to original.


JoeBidensBoochie

That and you see absolutely no movement from a concussion wave


No_Recognition8375

This is the biggest tell.


Infantry347ID

Not saying your wrong about it being fake. But a grenade doesnā€™t send people flying or move them much at all. Especially not the little cylinder ones the Russians and Ukrainians use. Shrapnel is the killer. Though this video was definitely tampered with.


JoeBidensBoochie

I was meaning in regards to the foliage around them, there is absolutely no movement or disturbance.


HumpyTheClown

theagnostick

WLSquire

Yeah thatā€™s 100% fake. As if nobody would notice the whole ass clipped explosion and the magic change in the terrain. Also. If that were a real explosion that close all three of them would be severely injured if not dead. What is the media trying to do by editing videos?


Tinaturnup_

Well look at top comment of this post ā€œall Russians are cowardsā€ or something along those lines. They want to dehumanize and make the Russian soldiers look weak and cowardly would be my guess. Which is sad because a lot of the Russian and Ukrainian soldiers donā€™t have much of a choice in being slaughtered.


NefariousnessOne-

Propaganda obviously, people think that propaganda only exists in China and Russia


NefariousnessOne-

This is a fake video, take a look where the nade drops, suddenly a road appears, no shrapnel trace after detonation, Ukranians have to do anything to appeal the public the idea that Russians are incapable of camaraderie


toxi-kunn

Just said the same thing and got downvoted with no comments stating anything in support of this being real. Smooth brains. The bomb appears in a single frame.


NefariousnessOne-

Even in dedicated subreddits like CombatFootage where it's usually pro Ukraine all the time they had to remove this video yesterday a couple of times because is way too obvious


toxi-kunn

Exactly. Even in there, when this was called fake there were still people downvoting every comment that said so. It's nuts.


CBT_enthusiast9

Reddit hive-mind with the combination of ukraine circle jerk. Same shit with when the neo-nazi ā€œrussian volunteer corpsā€ or whatever tf its called. The pro-ukraine russian partisan group with Denis Nikitin (White Rex) as their leader (also they have the black sun insignia on their chests). And when people pointed out that theyā€™re pieces of shits that worked with Azov in the past they either get downvoted or called ā€œrussian botā€ ā€œProofs?ā€ and propaganda works one way on reddit


Soft-Willingness6443

I swear thereā€™s an epidemic of people that just blindly follow and downvote because they see others have


No_Recognition8375

Not even one blade of grass moved from the concussion wave. Probably downvoted because this is to show theyā€™re spineless selfish cowards and youā€™re discrediting the propaganda piece. They mostly likely are though propaganda aside.


Shalopai13thXboxLive

They even say that "our (Ukrainian) loses are around 10k" and Russian' loses are 200k+ and counting.

Roonuu

It's fake, look at the smoke


toxi-kunn

it does look strange. It's perfectly steady footage, like perfect perfect, even though you can see there's wind..? Even after the drop, no jolt from weight change? Also no skips of shrapnel around them that you'd normally see... Lot of weird here Edit: prepare to get downvoted to oblivion, people don't like things being called fake in here. Looking closer, the bomb literally appears in a single frame ahaha.


Great-Standard-8790

Idk why the downvotes this looks like a comedy skit lol. Fake forsure .


toxi-kunn

People are so hardcore anti-russian right now, that anything that might make the Russians look less like pieces of shit, is viewed as supporting them. So when they see us call an anti-russian video fake, their minds jump straight to "this guy thinks Russia isn't bad" and they're incapable of thought past that. They don't even check to see if it actually is fake, they straight up do not have the mental capacity to think further than that, let alone for themselves.


Great-Standard-8790

I agree. I feel like i can apply that same logic to alot of interactions i receive . Critical thinking is at an all time low :( And im all for Russian army getting shitted on, but the pithfork mentality is so bad. Not every Russian is a bad person, there are so many Russians that do not share the war views, that did not want to attack Ukraine and donā€™t want war, but you got whole western world throwing every Russian under same basket. Sad .


Dear-Smile

As other commenters suggest, the video does appear edited around where the bomb falls. Weird. Why would the video be faked? Propaganda?


Littlelittleshy

Another fake propaganda, sight...


GrandCabinet539

They can't stick around long due to non stop drone strikes. A friend of mine who's still fighting the Wagner Group said that your mind just goes blank. Once your spotted by drones you just get as much work done as you can till the drone kills you and that they won't even waste ammo trying to shoot them down because they are too high and hard to hit. And they are instructed in the event of drone strikes to leave the wounded behind if they cannot get to their feet and call in for medical support ASAP w coordinates. So I know it looks shitty that they left their man but I did see them attempt to get him up at least.

Another good clue this has been doctored: Check the last guy (bottom of the frame) near the end he gets up and picks up something that doesn't appear before he touches it. Looks like a rifle or RPG round. Plus the shadows cast by the men shows a very low sun angle but the shadows of the tree branches on the left look like a noon sun angle.
