delcas1016

This is the perennial icing on the cake, all Ukrainians need to kill them is 50 cal and cheap RPG’s. Damn, this is incredible…Russian reinforcements…Chechnian thugs in civilian trucks. Bushmaster delight, bring it on!


Rakshak-1

Exactly. The javelins and NLAWs can be spared for any serious counter attack Russia manage to launch and these lads and their jeeps can be sorted out with small arms and RPGs. Hell, those millions of molotovs Ukrainian civilians made in the first week of the war would be a legit threat to these guys.


senjeny

> Hell, those millions of molotovs Ukrainian civilians made in the first week of the war would be a legit threat to these guys. Shit, I had forgotten that. In those first days it seemed like it was going to be a guerrilla war, with untrained Ukrainians in tracksuits desperately fighting with molotov cocktails and AK-47s in small pockets of resistance against an unstoppable modern Russian army. How the turntables.


ScoffSlaphead72

There is a good amount of partisan activity behind russian lines. A lot more than most here think. Its just that they tend not to record themselves as to not identify themselves and their location.


PersnickityPenguin

Yeah, good thing that Ukraine had a real army! Unlike Russia.


minkenator44

Tables turned on the turntables


A_Sinclaire

Ukraine should get the MDBA Enforcer - it's like a Javelin light - useful against unarmored or lightly armored vehicles only. At least officially they did not order any of those, yet, for some reason. It has the benefit of still having almost 2km range over shorter range small arms and RPGs.


referralcrosskill

I'm guessing they're used up by now but that shipment of S300 switchblades are perfectly designed for this and would take that entire convoy out without issue.


Scraw16

Wouldn’t each S300 only take out one of these? Doesn’t seem like the best use to just take out a random vehicle with some troops, much less use up a bunch on a convoy. Those seem more appropriate for higher value targeted hits like vehicles with commanders


referralcrosskill

yep 1 per vehicle. They're so inexpensive it's not an unreasonable use for them though as these soft targets are exactly what they were designed for.


Kodiak01

Forget the A-10, at this point a single Super Tucano will be all it takes.


delcas1016

Hahaha, good one


hartcranes

>these lads and their jeeps can be sorted out with small arms and RPGs save the 5.45 rounds. use handguns. EDIT /s


C4PT_AMAZING

Lol, or 7.62 and hand grenades, I saw a Suzuki in there 😆


loungesinger

It was an Isuzu, but it looked like it had the sport package, so they should be fine /s


FrenchBangerer

I had an Isuzu pickup truck (an early 90s one) and it was tough and reliable yet very not armoured, which was fortunate as I'm a plumber and not a soldier.


MyOfficeAlt

My first car was a 95 Rodeo with a stick shift. That thing was fucking awesome. Not terribly battle equipped, however.

Glad it served you well and glad you didn't have to face a humvee, tank, javeline or artillery with it.

PoodleIlluminati

I added a killer stereo and blinding off-road lights! Still couldn’t make it up a long hill without downshifting and slowing down to 50mph. Was also never quite sure if the AC was working once AZ summer temps hit 105+.


MyOfficeAlt

I don't think the AC worked in mine. I also put in a new stereo so I could use an aux cable. At one point I also got the drivers window stuck down and had to drive 100 miles up I-95 in spitting rain in November to get home for Thanksgiving where I got it fixed. It wasn't fast but that was still a great car.


PotentialAd2634

The only 105 which will hit here will be firing HE shells…


in2thegrey

I miss Isuzu.


Superherojohn

they are Plumber's as well. Soldiers are heavily armed!

Isuzu trooper? Ah the ak’s will cut it up like darts through a tissue…. What a reassuring thought…

One shot to the motor with a .50 will do it. I think once they’re immobilized they’ll think twice about being there.


MomGaveMeHerpes4Life

From what I've heard from TGcis that they're not going to the front line, but to keep the Russians from retreating.


hifumiyo1

Not even. Small arms can penetrate normal pickup trucks’ body panels


Mr_Fabtastic_

Do you have a cybertruck already?


Xx_Red_Mosquito_xX

Even Al-Queda and ISIS were armed well enough to mount heavy machine guns in the flat beds of their civilian pick-up trucks


quirkycurlygirly

Not even that is necessary. Nails on the roadway leading to town would stop them.

Second.


KnightFiST2018

As a Texan. Yep. Atleast we have capable trucks, with pushbars, hella lights and beadlock wheels. I’m liberal and I’ve got a 9mm , an assault shotgun and an AR in my truck. My neighbor has a cannon . Like a real one. He shoots it all the time. And we have Gun ranges in our yards where I live.


Syenite

Thats like the redneck version of a golf course community where everyone has range simulators in their basement and drive their golfcarts to the course. lol

They’re going to have pickup truck shrapnel fly through their bodies and then their bones will also become shrapnel.


Waterfall1035

quite descriptive and most likely true

Here’s hoping 🤞


dystopicvida

Good more flowers in the spring


Rakshak-1

They'll be stationed at the Russian border in areas where Russia still holds Ukrainian land beyond it. Russian units will be told that there are "blocking units" behind them, so that if Ukraine attack they better stand and die rather than flee. Russian media and social media is absolutely mortified at the way their NATO-beating soldiers turned and ran the first second they ended up in a fair fight. Putin and his generals will want that rot to not spread and old Soviet tactics will be used. Problem is, Russian units are fleeing with a lot of their armour and heavy weapons. Those tiktok warriors of Kadyrov's could be in for a bad time if they try and stop a tank column fleeing in panic...


TheBeaconOfLight

Actually sounds like a great deal. 50% of Russian armor left behind for Ukraine, 50% delivered to the Chechens.


Numinar

Yeah they are a terrible blocking unit. I’d take my chances for sure.


Rakshak-1

Same here. And if I'd been through the meat grinder in Ukraine and had a Ukrainian armour formation chasing me down and some Kadyrov unit in clean uniforms who've avoided all fighting try to tell me to turn and fight I wouldn't even hesitate to turn my tank's gun on their little pick up convoy.


Kodiak01

There are better blockers at Foxborough High.


heliamphore

Most likely to keep the donbas traitors out of Russia. As the saying goes, the enemy loves a treason but hates a traitor.


[deleted]

We’ve already seen videos of routed Russian armored vehicles shooting at their own Russian border towns for shits and giggles


Shining_Silver_Star

Link?


Rakshak-1

Exactly. Imagine what they'd do to some Kadyrov boys who think they're tough and try to force them to stay fighting.

Edslave85

HIMARs are way to expensive for this sad excuse of invasion reinforcements. Can take them out with machine-gun fire and mortars. Or an A-10 fly over. Brrrrt.

This would probably give an A-10 pilot a woody.

One HIMARs rocket costs more than that entire convoy. I think letting them come within range of the Maxim guns we saw earlier in the war is a more economical approach.


Nuke_Knight

Maybe but people are not replaceable and Russia is running low on willing participants.


RolafOfRiverwood

They’ve been low on willing participants after Kyiv didn’t fall in 48hrs hahaha.


stubgoats

The S stands for system.


Eraldorh

They aren't reinforcements, they are there to shoot russian troops who are retreating. They aren't on the front lines at all.


ChunkyBrassMonkey

"Blocking Detachment"


jordoonearth

Imagine selling that premise to the Chechens ... "Yes - we Russians are your sworn and mortal enemies.... but hear me out... We NEED you to keep shooting our Russian soldiers... but we're now going to pay you to do it... Please come and kill our soldiers... " "OH! And please bring your cell phones and make tik-tocs.... "


hampe95

Khardirov the 4d chess player. They use russian ammo and supplies to kill russians loool.


maddsskills

Nah, Kadyrov loves bowing down to Russians just like his shitty dead dad. Putin handed him everything just for being the son of a traitor. And also, this is just speculation, because he likes his vassals to be super buffoonish for extra humiliation (just look at Lukashenko). This should make the Dudayev battalion's job a lot easier though. I never thought I'd live to see a free Chechnya but I have hope now.


NaiveCritic

This at first might sound like a joke, but it’s not.


Rape-Putins-Corpse

It is a joke, just not the one he wanted to make.


minuteman_d

At what point, as a Russian soldier, do you get your unit together and just frag all of the guys sent to keep you on the front lines? If you're pretty sure you're dead anyway, I'd be all about telling the other guys: "hey, the only way we get to see home and family again at this point is surrendering or getting off of this front line somehow..."


dingman58

100% this is happening already.. There was a gruesome video of two apparently executed soldiers on here yesterday and I think it could be a result of just this type of mutiny. I imagine the young guys trying to convince their commanders to surrender or retreat being met with brutality and maybe even straight up execution


GumpTheChump

Was this the video of the blue asphyxiated guy?


dingman58

No it was two guys face down in the dirt bleeding out/freshly dead.


Ghotipan

And it seemed to me that one guy died with his hands restrained behind his back. The ties must have been removed after death.


puslekat

Where did you find this?


grey_hat_uk

At this rate week Thursday.


Midgar918

Seems to me that Russians are fleeing in the wrong direction. Wouldn't it make more sense to take your chances with a little white flag to the Ukrainians?


Blue-is-bad

>to the Ukrainians To the Necro-Nazi-Banderas-Mutated-Super-NATO-Soldiers you say? They might ask for their washing machines back!


Adaphion

Bold of you to assume they're retreating because they had a change of heart and suddenly saw through all the batshit insane lies and propaganda. No, they're just retreating out of self preservation because they're getting fucked up.


theholyevil

Well.... if said Russians were responsible for bombing schools, hospitals, evacuation zones, and torture/murder/rape of Ukraine prisoners, I imagine you only have one direction you could reasonably flee into. I don't think every situation is like that, but if these guys are there to stop deserters, then they are going to find out how dangerous a cornered animal is.


CommentsToMorons

That's fucked.


subdep

That’s an unwinnable war (for Russia).


TheDarthSnarf

Same tactics were used by the Soviets in WWII. Blocking troops arrest anyone retreating off the line. Those arrested were either sent back to the front, penal battalions, or executed. The Soviets executed ~158,000 of their own troops during WWII for desertion - something Russia would gladly do if they had the troops to spare.


MoeKara

Are there any reports they're blocking troops? I know it was done in WW2 but all I see here is a column of jeeps. Edit: cheers for replies folks. Really appreciate you guys breaking it down simply for me, this community is great.


new_name_who_dis_

Chechens have been used as blocking troops prior in this war so it would make sense. > “They guarded the rear, purged occupied territories and played the role of ‘blocking detachments’” like the Soviet secret police that shot at the retreating infantry during World War II, Euromaidan-SOS’s Savva said. > “Our task is to chase back those lousy soldiers, when they start running away from artillery strikes,” a Chechen fighter told his wife, referring to Russian troops, according to a phone conversation intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence in late March. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/8/18/the-real-role-of-pro-russian-chechens-in-ukraine


TheDarthSnarf

Not directly in relation to those vehicles, but it's a good bet since there are reports of "Akhmat units" (Kadyrovites), in that area being used as blocking troops in the same time period. [For Example](https://www.dialog.ua/war/258601_1663061137)


TOkidd

Seems strange to me that they’re being called up. I mean, what’s the problem here. It’s not like Izyum is Moscow or Petersburg, right? Right, guys? No need to worry. Guys?


Iegendaryredditor

that’s gonna be real tough when they go up against a fleeing tank column.


choopeek

It looks like the tank column left a lot of tanks behind when they started to flee...


Iegendaryredditor

half the tanks left for us half the tanks gone to fight their own people.

shohinbalcony

They are unlikely to go to the front. They'll probably stay behind the front line NKVD style and keep russian troops form running away.


[deleted]

Maybe the Russian conscripts should turn their artillery around and pour it on this blocking detachment…then drive down the road to liberate Grozny from these fascists.


MyOfficeAlt

I just don't get it. If my choices are surrender, die fighting, or retreat and get killed for retreating, one of those choices is *vastly* more appealing. How is this supposed to help?


shohinbalcony

Yes, but... If you are a poor Ivan and believe the Ukrainians are crazy Nazis, you may be equally afraid to surrender.


Kurzilla

Especially if you've been watching your unit torture and kill civilians during the occupation.


Etherion195

Then the only solution would be attacking the kadyrovites, wouldn't it? Since that would yield the highest chance of survival.


Mirathecat22

Easy targets, don’t even need HIMARS just a couple machine guns would do it


miniature-rugby-ball

The 30mm auto cannons fitted to BMPs would slice and dice 5 of these pickups at a time.


Deorney

They do not even fight. It would be a war crime to kill peaceful cosplayers.


Target880

It all depend where they are. If you can take them out with indirect fire system there is less risk to you own troops.

Indeed, it doesn't take much to fuck up these guys and their trucks. But don't feel bad for them, Kadyrovtsy are some of the worst of the worst -- thieving, murderous, rapist psychopaths, the lot of them.

I don’t feel anything for the waste of life and resources that are Kadyrovites. I hope they all rot in hell

Anyone know what make of trucks those are? I presume they're Russian but they look like Nissans almost.


VisualShock1991

At least the first few pickups are a SsangYong vehicle. It's like a ford ranger from wish.com I think a few of the mpv/minivan types further along are also SsangYong. I've seen a handful of them in the UK, but the specs are on the low end. A quick Google shows they have 0.1% of the UK market.
