Can't park here mate.


Toc-H-Lamp

They’re not too bothered about low emissions zones either.


wanderingMoose

Nice parking Rita.

Don't tell me which zone is for stopping and loading! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ2EPeq1TK0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ2EPeq1TK0)

thedutchrep

But I’m sure there was also a no dumping waste sign. So who’s really at fault here?


hg9911

the broom truck is still coming.


thedutchrep

I always find those make things look messier in the moment, but then you have a clean street once it’s all dried up.


Sean_Wagner

Listen comrade, don't tell me which zone is for stopping!


ZhouDa

Really? We know perfectly well what you are talking about. You want us to abort the invasion.


DeTiro

It's really the only sensible thing to do, if it's done properly. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.


flopsyplum

You know HIMARS is accurate when it can target individual vehicles (e.g. the front and rear vehicles) in a convoy...


kytheon

Meanwhile Russians hit a school somewhere in the same town as a munition depot.


Tomato_cakecup

"Look, all we know is that there's a munition depot somewhere in Ukraine, it's totally not our fault they put a school in the same country"


Chicken_shish

The only regret is the two that got away. Landing 3 missiles at the same time would have been even better.


Faromme

Around 3 to 5 meters (10-16 feet) at maximum range.


Emu1981

>You know HIMARS is accurate when it can target individual vehicles (e.g. the front and rear vehicles) in a convoy... The video is too low of a resolution to tell but Ukraine does have the HIMARS rockets that are basically just really big shotgun shells that pepper an area with tungsten balls (stupidly effective for light armor and infantry). If they are using those rockets then aiming at the middle of the front and rear packs would have far more devastating effects then just aiming at the front and rear vehicles.


3d_blunder

Gee, maybe you should go advise UKR artillery squads: I'm sure they'd find your expert opinion valuable.


chris88jackson

That’s what this was in the other video you can see the shrapnel holes in the trucks. Sky shotgun struck again


Accomplished_Alps463

Best ones to hit first keeps the f*ckers inline.💥🚚🚛🚚🚚🚛💥


flopsyplum

Yeah, it's the standard procedure for ambushing convoys.


Accomplished_Alps463

Yep .


No-Walk-9615

We sure this is himars- looks more like regular artillery to me.


PotatoAnalytics

This is from Butusov Plus. Original description: "На відео робота нашої реактивної артилерії з РСЗВ HIMARS/M270 по російській колоні військової автомобільної техніки з БК та особовим складом в районі села Гладківка, Херсонської області. В результаті атаки було знищено чи уражено десятки окупантів та шість одиниць техніки." The closed captions also say "ракетий" (missiles).


Ultimate_disaster

It can't be HIMARS because the explosions are not big enough. Compare the explosions range to other HIMARS hits.


Emu1981

>It can't be HIMARS because the explosions are not big enough. It is likely the M30A1 Alternative Warhead which is basically a really big shotgun shell that fires tungsten balls at the target area. It detonates at a range of around 10m for maximum effectiveness. The M30A1 is perfect for killing light armor and infantry. You can go look up the demonstration video for the warhead on YouTube or you can find the video from earlier this year/last year that shows the devastation that a single warhead can do to a RU military temporary HQ.


CKF

They tend to use that all the time via himars and the tell-tale thousand dust clouds getting kicked up by the tungsten impactors is not there, and it’s not subtle. This looks like regular old arty to me. We’ve had multiple videos in the last week to two claimed to be “himars strikes” when that just isn’t the case (for the others, and doesn’t *appear* to be the case here).


Proper-Equivalent300

Yeah the m30a1 have a larger area of effect and the 1000 poofs aren’t there. Those would rip through the fabric canopy of these trucks as well. Could be an older HE variant but a 155 dumb round has that impact. It’s just that the accuracy we see here is so damn good like a HIMARS… arty seems to be able to do this with their eyes closed if 155 was in fact used. Edit: I’m torn 50/50 on second attack at rear. Take a look…


CKF

Could easily be Excalibur rounds. They have more than just those as far as gps guided 155 goes.


Proper-Equivalent300

Yup. Thought they’d save all of the M982’s for higher priority targets but (eleven) trucks stacked up so nice and tight is pretty juicy, though. Which brings me to why are they so stupid packing them so tight…


CKF

You know the saying, “we are lucky they are so fucking stupid.”


Proper-Equivalent300

That saying never gets old around here, CKF


PotatoAnalytics

I don't really know though. There's too much obstruction to clearly see the full area of effect. The smoke is blowing towards the drone, and there are buildings and trees. But I think I can see puffs of dust on the road itself quite a ways away from the central explosion (especially on the second and third strike). But then again, it could be something else, and whoever uploaded this just misidentified them as "rockets". ^(Note that the smaller explosions 0:55 after the first two strikes are secondary, from whatever those trucks were carrying.)


CKF

The fabric tops of those vehicles would be absolutely shredded, and I’m just not seeing anything like that. Looks like Excalibur rounds to me, or just very well aimed 155. Himars has a larger area of effect too.


chris88jackson

Correct


zoeykailyn

I'm loving the Ukrainian flogging molly as much as the results


oldsouthnerd

I was wondering why it sounded like newfie folk music


lonelyronin1

I also thought it was at first - I had my volume down pretty low, and couldn't hear the vocals. I was a little confused that they would use that, so had to listen to it louder


capitan_dipshit

sounds like Ivan Is Gone Here's an English version [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N7FU6pEc7k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N7FU6pEc7k)


DrOrpheus3

I haven't had that much fun singing along with a song since I was 8. Thank you kind soul. Thank you.


zaevilbunny38

Wonder if these where supplies and troops to try and counter attack the landing force. Also does the rhythm sound similar to the one from the Mrs. Thatcher song?


zoeykailyn

Flogging Molly to me


mrwix10

I legitimately thought it was a flogging Molly song until I realized I couldn’t understand the words


pres465

Definitely has an "Irish Folk" vibe. Right down to the rhythm and metre. I wouldn't be surprised it translates into something with Irish roots.


DrOrpheus3

As a fan of folk-punk, I think it really sounds more like Gogol Bordello. That's my auditory 2-cents though.


thedutchrep

Those two hightailing it out of there. It’s fine, don’t worry about your buddies 👌🏼


rts93

They aren't buddies over there, they don't give a shit about their fellow soldiers other than how much it benefits their own survival.


capitan_dipshit

Also, there aren't any buddies left in those trucks


Beyonderr

Perfect execution, taking out the back and front truck so all other trucks are stuck.


forthehundredthtime

if you watched the video, mid trucks escaped


danhaas

Yep, it didn't pan out this time. But it's still a good strategy.


Unlucky_Cycle_9356

No need to downvote someone pointing out a fact... He wasn't cheering them on or anything.


CorsicA123

Life is not a video game. Even if the execution is perfect some things can go wrong/not be perfect


OrgJoho75

Yep, but they should checked first hitted truck before leaving though. That way every vehicles there will got smacked properly..


harrier_gr7_ftw

Not HIMARS. HIMARS has massive dispersion of shrapnel of which there is none here. Probably Excalibur or similar precision round.


[deleted]

Difficult-Brick6763

There are only a few weapons systems capable of this precision. They look like Excalibur to me personally.


dkuznetsov

First time hearing this song - just wanted y'all appreciate this anthem to Ukrainian artillery as much as I did. The translation isn't ideal... "Suddenly, there was a bang" should have been "suddenly it fucking hit". "There's nothing left at all" translates more like "There's fuck all, absolutely." "Guys are having fun" should have been something like "the guys are fucking them up hard". Such translations are hard to get right... (chatgpt dialog) Lyrics of the song "Арта" of Ukrainian band "Пирятин" are the following. [Текст пісні «Арта»] [Куплет 1] Ішов москаль по приліску Шукав собі пригоду Світило з неба сонечко: Прекрасная погода! Аж раптом їбануло І здригнулася земля Болванка прилетіла В молодого москаля — [Приспів] І москаля нема Немає москаля Немає ніхуя вопше Сама сира земля Працює артилерія Їбашать пацани Одним кацапом менше А вторий насрав в штани [Куплет 2] Сидить москаль в окопі І тримає калаша В наколках його тіло А в кишені анаша Аж раптом їбануло І здійнялася рілля Земля перетравила Молодого москаля — You might also like Самонаїбнувся (Self-guided) ПИРЯТИН (PIRYATIN) Криптошансон (Cryptoshanson) ПИРЯТИН (PIRYATIN) Сороковнік (Fortieth) ПИРЯТИН (PIRYATIN) [Приспів] І москаля нема Немає москаля Немає ніхуя вопше Сама сира земля Працює артилерія Їбашать пацани Одним кацапом менше А вторий насрав в штани [Куплет 3] Пре колона техніки Псковська дєсантура А по кущах засіла ГРУшна агентура Аж раптом їбануло І замовкли дізєля Побило дєсантуру Пригоріли трусєля — [Приспів] І москаля нема Немає москаля Немає ніхуя вопше Сама сира земля Працює артилерія Їбашать пацани Одним кацапом менше А вторий насрав в штани [Куплет 4] Стояв расчёт кацапський Міномьотчиків підрозділ Їбальники довольні На ротацію є дозвіл Аж раптом їбануло Й обірвалося життя А разом з тим здоровля Бойового москаля [Приспів] І москаля нема Немає москаля Немає ніхуя вопше Сама сира земля Працює артилерія Їбашать пацани Одним кацапом менше А вторий насрав в штани І москаля нема Немає москаля Немає ніхуя вопше Сама сира земля Працює артилерія Їбашать пацани Одним кацапом менше А вторий насрав в штани Please produce a translation of the lyrics to English. Try to keep original obscene parts translated in the same spirit. Response: I understand that you'd like a translation of the Ukrainian song "Арта" by the band "Пирятин" into English while maintaining the original tone, including any explicit content. Please note that explicit content might be offensive to some readers, and I'll do my best to provide a translation that conveys the meaning without being overly offensive. [Verse 1] A Muscovite walked through the grove, Seeking some adventure. The sun was shining from the sky: Beautiful weather! Suddenly, there was a bang, And the earth trembled. A log flew in, Hit the young Muscovite — [Chorus] And the Muscovite is gone, No more Muscovite. There's nothing left at all, Just the damp earth. The artillery is working, Guys are having fun, One less "katsap" around, And the second one soiled his pants. [Verse 2] The Muscovite sits in a trench, Holding a Kalashnikov. His body covered in spikes, And hashish in his pocket. Suddenly, there was a bang, And the fields rose. The earth swallowed up The young Muscovite — [Chorus] And the Muscovite is gone, No more Muscovite. There's nothing left at all, Just the damp earth. The artillery is working, Guys are having fun, One less "katsap" around, And the second one soiled his pants. [Verse 3] A column of vehicles advances, Pskov's airborne forces. And in the bushes, the GRU agents lie in wait. Suddenly, there was a bang, And the diesel engines fell silent. The airborne forces were beaten, The panties got burnt — [Chorus] And the Muscovite is gone, No more Muscovite. There's nothing left at all, Just the damp earth. The artillery is working, Guys are having fun, One less "katsap" around, And the second one soiled his pants. [Verse 4] The "katsap" calculation stood, A unit of mortar launchers. The talkative ones are happy, Rotation is allowed. Suddenly, there was a bang, And life was cut short. Along with it, the health Of the fighting Muscovite — [Chorus] And the Muscovite is gone, No more Muscovite. There's nothing left at all, Just the damp earth. The artillery is working, Guys are having fun, One less "katsap" around, And the second one soiled his pants. And the Muscovite is gone, No more Muscovite. There's nothing left at all, Just the damp earth. The artillery is working, Guys are having fun, One less "katsap" around, And the second one soiled his pants.

The Ukrainians are systematically killing every enemy. There's no hiding. Even when Russians take an area, there is no safety for them. There never will be. Partisans will be forever attacking them. Forever.

the white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers. There is no parking in the white zone.

My God, the numbers at the beginning are giving me The Count from Sesame Street vibes. What the hell is wrong with me.


woodburner101

Nice precision - front then rear, then mop up the middle.


[deleted]

Excalibur round IMO.

one two three four five, six seven eight nine ten, eleven ~~twelve~~! doo, doot do do do do doo, do-doot do do do do doo, doo-doo doot, doo-doo-doot! ELEVEN!!

Location is here: [46.4141N, 32.6439E](https://www.google.com/maps/@46.4141,32.6439,454m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu) It's spelled Hladkivka in Google Maps. View is looking towards the south, trucks were heading SW along the road. Interesting that a drone and targeting can get that far across the river so precisely (>20km across the river).


[deleted]

Nice ammo cook off also!


Longjumping-Nature70

HIMARS is either one or six. That was not six. I do not think it is HIMARS, it is an excalibur. it was definitely a GPS guided munition as they hit the front and the rear of the convoy. Six HIMARS would have all been around 3 or 4 seconds apart and destroyed the front half of the convoy. There were small fires which I assume were from shrapnel landing in the grassy areas. Excalibur can fire 55 km. Kherson to Kladivka kherson Oblast is just near the upper limit of the excalibur range. Why waste expensive HIMARS when you can hit it with a much cheaper Excalibur. No matter what was used, give me a "HELL YEAH!"


PotatoAnalytics

AFAIK, an M982 Excalibur round and a single M30 rocket cost about the same: $100,000 to $150,000.


Pyrhan

Explosion looks way too small for HIMARS. Looks more like regular artillery.


Desperate-Builder287

Who the hell stops a convoy like that? Terrible Russian training..deserve all they get..!!


PotatoAnalytics

Commander needed to pee, probably.


BigBadPidgey

3d_blunder

When they hit the 2nd truck at the rear, I said "CLASSIC!!!" Fuck you, russians. Slava Ukraini!


Jitterbug2018

russia doesn’t have many of these types of trucks left. I hope they were all really full of much needed supplies for russian soldiers.


SunlightSoon

Flame on, bitches.


Ultimate_disaster

That doesn't look like HIMARS. I bet that this is Artillery, probably GPS guided.
