Why do I get the sense that you have something to say about this video? 🤔
it's not what you think
Heey, can you do a video covering about friendly fire on warfare?? I think it’s an amazing topic that’s non well know. Greetings from Chile!
i just want to say the CZcams algorithm somehow always delivers your video really early to me through the random recommendation feed
for example, i saw this video 24 minutes after you uploaded
If countries aren't willing to go full nuclear - then today's conflicts are a waste of time and money.
19:43 you're talking dick...
As someone who spent a few years as an army driver's training instructor, the first thing I told my soldiers was "These vehicles are built for offroad performance and combat capability. Crew safety isn't even a factor in their design. Keep that in mind when you're driving."
I should clarify I told them "crew safety in event of a crash" not crew safety in entirety. Obviously crew survivability in event of mine, IED, or ambush is a factor in design, just not highway crashes.
Yeah. Same reason why Chinook helicopters cannot be used for transport (of people) by civilian operators and can only be used for cargo service. They do not meet civilian standards for transport helicopters in the event of a crash.
@@OmrifereVery true. AFVs, IFVs and ARVs were simply not built for that. When you design them to take enemy fire and still keep operating, things like seatbelts and crumple zones in the event of a crash are simply not considered. As an operator and mechanic, this is somewhat concerning in peacetime, when accidents are likely, but in wartime, it puts me at ease.
@@davebaton8879 isn't the Boeing 234 a civilian Chinook?
But I know what you're saying, it's been fitted out to meet civillian passenger safety standards. Which is very different from military personnel standards.
@@NMJZ Surely they could be fitted out with suitable seating and harnesses to make them safer when cruising... You just wouldn't wear them in the conflict zone.
But I guess it's not a priority.
I think the Ukrainian War casualties actually highlight how critical air superiority is. The war would have gone much differently had one side achieved air superiority.
Yes and Also sometimes due to the lack of air superiority casualties cannot be evacuated until dark, that increases the number massively
Edit: it is sop of the Ukrainian armed forces to only evacuate casualties at night. Only volunteers do it during the day
I think that's only somewhat true.
If the west had provided the same military aid a year earlier, Russians would not have had the time to dig in. That alone would almost certainly have made things much easier for Ukraine, even without air superiority.
Now that Russians are firmly entrenched, I don't think air superiority will change the front lines. Air superiority will make it less costly to defend Ukrainian lines, but IMHO not more. Aircraft don't help Ukraine get rid of mines, nor do they allow troop formations to msnruver without being spotted by drones, which are the main problems.
IMHO the air superiority narrative is just the next iteration of the west looking for a silver bullet. It doesn't exist.
We wasted the opportunity to win this cheaply. We were too hesitant. Now it will require an overwhelming mass assault and mine clearing and anti-drone tech that doesn't yet exist.
@@a5centin a conventional war no amount of entrenchment is going to save you from a smart bomb. Russian artillery can't be used if it is getting bombed. In modern conventional war air superiority is a sliver bullet
same with Russia
@@a5cent doesn't it feel like the aid for Ukraine was deliberately delayed? US intelligence kept taps on the situation in the region since the attack in 2014 and they were well aware Putin will try to attack Ukraine again. Hence US even warned Ukrainian administration about a year or 2 before invasion about increased activity of Russia around the border. It's all strange, there was a time even during the first stage of the invasion when this war all out war could been averted all it would take would be receiving aid quick enough in form of artillery able to pentrate deep into Russian territory to cut the supply chain what would Grant Ukrainian forces some breathing room.
War is no fun, the people that send you to war should experience it first and maybe think twice.
They never will. Pretty much every politician dont sent their kids to war. They know better
@@JoeLaFon3 true. I've been to 3 different wars in my time in the military..
. wouldn't wish it on anyone. The worst part is that none of the wars I was deployed to had a justified reason.
say that to putin and his bootlickers
That's actually what saved Ukraine, Zelensky refused to leave, showing he was willing to fight too
War is not noble anymore since gunpowder. Before that kings used to lead armies.
My Ex's brother actually died on an aircraft carrier during an accident on the deck -- was really sad. The service and memorials and all were really nice.

the navy seal situation happens so much more often than you think. I have 4 friends who dropped from buds who rerated to my rate. They tell me all the time how there is a huge culture of just ignoring your sickness and pain because it’s manly or whatever to the point where major injuries such as salmonella or a heat stroke or breaking your leg in half, they just ignore and tell you you’re fine. It makes sense as they have to be some of the strongest elite sailors in the world, but it is quite sad.
You forgot performance drugs - at one time endemic in SF selection
I don't believe it's about being manly or macho at all. It's about surviving and pushing through some horrible things to get out on the other side--or to save others. If they gave up because it hurts or they didn't feel good or it's cold, then there's a good chance someone's not coming home alive. That's the sad truth about it. Also, the human brain and body are a lot more resilient than people give it credit. There's a lot of pain and things your body will actively ignore just to keep you alive as it focuses on more important problems.
@@nightjarflying That's why we all have to take responsibility for our mental health... Because others, or the government won't. We gotta do healthy activities, visit therapists etc. No one else is going to do it for us.
In my experience, all front line combat jobs have this culture. You go until you become immobilized from broken bones, being a heat causality or your body shutting down on you for any other reason. Doesn't matter if you're legitimately injured, if you quit before your body does you are viewed as weak by your peers and ostracized. There are very few exceptions to this, seeking treatment is almost always interpreted as trying to get out of work and to avoid sharing the load with the group. Not healthy at all, but the social pressure does drive performance far beyond what you think you're capable of.
I think it's strange they weren't aware of this culture before even attempting BUD/S.
just a note; How many times the Osprey or AH-60 crashed in a year is meaningless without normalizing for amount of flight hours, or sorties or whatever else. If one flew 10s as much the comparison can be misleading. I'm not worried about this specific comparison but just in general. good vid though :)
Even normalized it is still safer. Roughly half the fatalities per 100k flight hours as the H-60
@@baammm3871 That's what I was looking for! Thanks 👍
Yep, per flight hour you're about 50% more likely to die on a 60 than a 22. Really a shame the Osprey has such a bad reputation when its actually safer and more reliable than the "venerable" blackhawk
@@rileybriggs4731 You're another crack head... Read my comment just above.
Just to be pedantic, I've always thought the number of hours (whether it's pilot or aircraft) is not such a great metric as it's mostly the bits at the beginning and end of a flight that matter the most, both in terms of stress on the aircraft, and skill needed by the crew. For instance, flight hours on long haul flights will be larger than short haul but the short haul flights will have done many more take offs and landings even though with much lower flight time. For instance, flying in a straight line on autopilot is not the same risk as continually taking off and landing. Driving a car in cruise control for miles on a highway will not be the same as driving a taxi around town. Just another parameter to throw into the equation. There are plenty more I can think of. Straight comparisons are often comparing apples with oranges. True comparisons are usually much more complex and may well involve things that have nothing directly to do with the things being compared. I know that's not helpful though.
I feel like the Rus-Ukr war is running into a similar issue seen in WW1. Technology has surpassed tactics. I think tactics will eventually catch up just like they did after WW1. It would be a good idea for other nations to run war games and try to figure out which tactics neutralize the technological advantage
We already know what the shortcoming is: its SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense), which is a capability neither side really practices. Ukraine simply lacks the planes that can do this (until they get F16s) whereas Russia hardly trains for it. Without air support, you can't make offensives. Neither side has the tools to meaningfully destroy enemy air defense and let the planes support the troops.
Ukraine was denied SEAD capable planes before their offensive and as a result their last offensive has only seen small gains. You simply cannot assault dug-in mined positions without air coverage.
I think tactics will always be the most dynamic and important element of any war or battle. It can temporarily be overcome with technology, but good tactics will eventually, in most cases, beat technology.
I think, for this reason, we have to protect our ability to communicate (and this include communication technology) and focus training on tactics on all levels so no matter the threat, decisions can be made to overcome it, even if those decisions are tactical retreats.
A good example of tactics > technology was Vietnam. We were far superior technologically, but we couldn’t adjust fast enough to fight guerrilla warfare. Not to mention, the heart of tactics, the end goal, was almost non existent. “Winning” is hardly a real goal since what defines winning wasn’t really defined in that war, or if it was, it wasn’t communicated to the troops except, “were fighting commies!”
Idk, there’s so much to this, but fact is, we can’t rely on technology above tactics or we’ll fail. If we have good tactics, good technology will be a great tool to help make better tactics. Technology is a tool of tactics.
L@@nicholasdominguez3952You also can't go gung-ho with F-16s or any aircraft when every aforementioned dug in mined position could potentially have MANPADS.
ukraine uses much more technology than russia in the war, well, at least they don't send meat waves of soldiers over and over again, also they are training with western tactics since 2014, so at least they have better tactics than russia
@@vilian9185 I agree. And good thing too. With Russia having greater numbers, Ukraine needs better tactics and technology to defend themselves.
Although if these casualty numbers are correct, Ukraine will need to improve its situation quick or they won’t have enough people to use the technology or tactics to win.
The military is good at making soldiers, but turning soldiers back to funktioning citizens is not their strong suit.
I agree. Wish they had a “citizen life” boot camp at the end of service to mentally prepare them for the challenges of post military and even the challenges of normal life.
Funny how so many organizations focus so much on preparing you for what you’ll experience inside of it, but when the time is done there is zero prep for leaving it.
Once a marine always a marine
This is a bullshit line people use to feign how much they care about homeless veterans. The truth is that a lot of people join the military for their life already being pretty hopeless, they have no family support, and they are often not very intelligent. For such people the military is a good means to postpone their struggles, but the military is never going to make them able to live in the real world.
Yup, it’s the most over looked thing about veterans imo. THAT and the bullsht they have to go through when they get out with the lack of support from our government!
@@Gundumb_guy not to bag of police officers and firefighters, but in many states their benefits and retirement is way better than military personnel. Grant their jobs are risky, but military jobs are way more dangerous! It’s crazy how our country treats our veterans.
You know, this is scary.When I was younger, i used to believe, that humanity have finally reached the point, where we wouldn't kill each other in wars. And now, here i am, in the country, that started a war, where an equivalent of half of my whole city have died.
Also when the war started, I thought that nobody supported it. It is shocking how many people support war. I think, like, 60% of adults and much less significant % of young people do. And I can't even tell anything to them because it is LITERALLY illegal. We have patriotic lessons ("conversations about important things") once in a week. I can't believe how much i hate, what i supposed to call my "motherland".
underrated comment - thank you for your opinion
That’s called childish ignorance, you’ve grown up a little and see it’s not sunshine and rainbows. Shit even while you were growing up wars were happening that you just don’t know about. Nobody likes war lmfao, but good luck just walking into another country and saying you own it.
well, the no more wars thing was always based primarily on much of the world's news not reaching you. unless you're following al jazeera, there is a sort of minimum whiteness and minimum wealth level for people involved below which it's only newsworthy if there are rivers of blood.
it's of course a substantially different situation, but as someone who dropped out of highschool with a s°°° diploma because I despised it and decided that I didn't want to get a certificate for performing useless tasks and displays of submission (so I started to only attend half of the time, never do homework, and tell my teachers and argue about it if they asked), I want to encourage you to play along. I only realized years later that my decision to soft-quit school had been based on flawed thinking - because I abdicated the role of arguing in favour of school to other people, and when they failed to convince me, I took that to mean that my position was correct. I neglected to really make an effort to question myself. other people and especially teachers kept trying to argue about the value of the knowledge and skills in the curriculum, when the lane they should have argued with me to convince me to make minimal effort would have been that there objectively is a lot of value in education certificates, despite them often not indicating any noteworthy knowledge or skill.
you're unlikely to help anyone if you out yourself in school as subversive. even without any politics involved, almost all my teachers hated me for arguing in effect that there was little value in what they (based on the curriculum they had to follow) were teaching. many of my peers would quite transparently hold a similar view to me, but I was the only one who didn't lie to them about it, and I discovered that they really craved that lie, they would be satisfied with even very weak attempts. for example one friend of mine would do exactly the same thing every time he was asked to present homework he also almost never did: he would bend down mumbling while rifling through his bag, and hold that position to literally duck away from the attention until the teacher either called on another student, or asked again - and it worked almost every time. if he was asked a second time, he would never admit that he didn't do it, just that he couldn't find it (without actually making a claim either way about having done the homework xD). that sort of charade was strongly preferred by the teachers over my choice to just say that I didn't do my homework and had never intended to.
to the best of my knowledge, in russia you need to expect at least some teachers and administrators to be keeping a list of subversive students that will end up in a police or FSB database. the more you want to say things that could get you on that list, the more of a reason you have to avoid being added to it.
if you really can't stop yourself from challenging one particular issue, it is likely to make a huge difference if you pretend to hold more conformist views, and only voice very narrow disagreement while referencing other ways in which you buy into government narratives. the techers don't really have to believe that you're being honest. but if they see you refusing to play the game, THAT is going to be a problem. you should look up explanations and examples of how people used to express dissent during soviet times. you can probably find instructions that are still very applicable to russian state institutions of specific things you do and ones you do not want to be seen doing in order to give the impression that you are essentially under control.
Glad you see through it at least. Hope you're safe and not contributing to Russias military efforts in any way. Freedom for Russia, and Victory for Ukraine ❤️
Take a basic biology class, what they teach you about animals is that intraspecies (same species) competition for resources is much higher than interspecies (different species) competition.
Humans like any other animals will always fight and compete against their own species because we need / want the same resources as each other. There is always a finite amount of resources / commodities, which means there will always be war and competition between arbitrary tribalist groups.
This is why whenever you watch cute animal videos of different animals all getting along that naturally don't get along due to having predator / prey relations in nature, you see it only happens due to humans removing the animals need to acquire their own resources for survival.
The idea that humans can all get along will never happen, because we're the highest on the food chain. We can provide for the needs of a few domesticated animals that we can keep as pets / livestock, but we can't provide for the needs of all humans.
If you believe in science at all, then you should understand that the world is a zero sum game. Because the very basic laws of science is the conservation of energy, mass, matter, etc... Which states those things can't be created or destroyed. Only converted to a different form. So as the human population grows, it means the net useable resources dwindle. For instance we're stripping nutrients from the soil and converting them into humans. The more humans on earth, means we make more electronics like phones and computers that need gold / copper for circuitry. So as time goes by, fighting and war will only increase, not decrease.
There's nothing surprising about the casualty numbers, if anything I would have expected them to be higher. The USA and UK militaries were amazed at how few casualties they took in the opening stages of Gulf War 1, the US estimated over 20k US soldiers would be killed during the initial invasion.

I think its understated how low the number of Killed in Combat for the US Military over the past two decades is compared to Russia over the same period of time. It truly shows how good and efficient America has gotten at waging war. HOWEVER, the worst part of this is that to achieve this efficiency, 500% more American soldiers, airman, marines, and sailors will kill themselves either by accident or intentionally. Its sad the idea that most likely the way you will die in the US Military will be by your own hand, and its just 50% coinflip that you will actually want it to happen. Myself, a vet who has been on the dark side of that coinflip and by the grace of God I survived, I can tell you the entire thing is avoidable and preventable. Unfortunatly, the military will only spend as much money as it needs to complete the mission, afterwards you're on your own. As evidenced by the homelessness epidemic that veterans have faced since Vietnam.

Ukrainians have issue recovering wounded as well since a lot of first contact/line positions require traveling several miles on foot, as someone mentioned earlier their standard operating procedure is to try to retrieve wounded at night - if you are bleeding heavily or lost a limb mid day you wont make it this long on a tourniquet.

Maybe if soldiers werent forced to fight in pointless wars as well as legitimate ones and were taken care of properly when they returned home, the US military wouldnt have recruitment issues
Nahh I think its the fact that 90% of Americans are unfit for combat.
Or tell them to stop hating white people and embracing the woke. Veterans have been treated like shit since WW1 and we haven’t had such recruiting problems.
The trouble lies in the fact that the MANY of today’s military age males aren’t physically capable to serve and they would rather hold their hands out for free stuff while playing with the latest electronic gizmo. Service above or beyond self is a concept foreign to them. Many live for the now.
I am Greek reserve soldier. In Greece, it's like part of our identity to be soldiers, because the word civilian (πολίτης) and soldier (οπλίτης) are almost the same. The thing about captains is that they always have a plan, that usually doesn't care a lot about what the enemy can do. I won't say more details, but watching the videos of the operations in Ukraine, I immediately get in my mind, how that ended up like this. From the moment they got out, till they get smoked. And I am not surprised, unlike media that presents it like out of this world event. There is too much emphasis in propaganda, and the presentation is too poor. I am sad that soldiers die for this and civilians suffer. Dieing for your country, used to be an honour. People have no ethics unfortunately, these days.
OK, what is your point?
From what you wrote, I get this:
- You're a Greek
- You think that Greeks are somehow good soldiers. Better than who? What is your opinion based on?
- "captains always have a plan", whatever that means. Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
- By watching Ukraine war videos, you think you know better than them. Typical TV watching, beer drinking sports fan attitude 😅

Fact is that "western" society basically chilled their balls after cold war and thought that after the time around 1990 global piece between all nations had been achieved.
That china or Russia still had the desire for revenge or at least wanting to rival the west in aspects like economy or global influence and power wasn't even considered.
We thought that just signing treaties and agreements with them would be sufficient to contain any potential futuristic threat.
Now, Russia has and china is starting to show the world what they have been working on the past decades and if the west doesn't respond appropriately it is a good question if
the "West" is able to retain its global dominance.
If you are still not convinced just look towards africa and how Rus and Ch have been quietly starting to influence countries there, further strengthening their foothold as an international power without the west realizing the potential threat this can have in the future
An interesting statistic is that despite accident related deaths being the most common way to die in the military. The military has a lower fatal accident rate than the civilian sector, at 1.3 fatalities per 100,000 individuals. Compare that to the civilian sector, with 3.4 deaths per 100,000 people.

One thing to remember is that different armies have different standards of safety for personnel, just a little example : in the French Air Force (Armée de l'air) and French Navy (aéronavale) every aircraft is certified for navigability, meaning strict levels of flight safety, to ensure safer operations for the personnel and the civilians. When we upgraded our MQ9 reapers to the latest standard, we had to redo the whole certification as the US doesn't bother with such safety requirements for military devices

I served in a British army tank regiment, those tanks are designed to kill and they don't care if it's you or the enemy. Get your maintenance wrong and you're going to lose some weight, it may just be a few fingers but it could be a lot more and sometimes it's your life. Injuries and death on training exercises aren't that uncommon either, it's a hard life and if you lost concentration you may end up as a statistic but with poor training the numbers can go up quickly. The Russian troops don't seem to be that well trained and the kit doesn't seem to be well maintained, add to that being tired and working in poor conditions, I would imagine that they've lost a lot of people in accidents.
I was roommates with a guy who laughed about not completing maintenance checklists on fighter jets while he was stationed at the Vegas air base.
That is attempted manslaughter. If it's true. What a dick.
I used to read books on the selection processes for top-tier services around the world - it's mind blowing reading about minds that perform what you perceive to be impossible 👍
I thought that the invading forces was said to be near 200 thousands and the New recruits were about 300 000 if all Russian soldiers that died are 315 thousands or 450 as Ukraine claims what can't they Win over the remaining 50 thousands?
You think he is telling the truth? Just propaganda
That's not how it works, invasion force was of 200.000, but Russia mobilized 300.000 extra men to the frontlines, covering losses and generating New forces, after that Russia did other 2 mobilisations, another of 300.000 and one pf 200.000 (i'm not counting the 147.000 who are normally conscripted every 6 months in Russia). So, it's à mobilized force of 800.000 men +200.000 already in the front in the beguining of the war.
Today, all estimations points that between 400.000-450.000 russian soldiers are in the frontline today.
The numbers makes sense, casualties May turn between 300.000-500.000
@@Dylan-pj7rvRussia have only ONE mobilization! Because i live here and know better. Invading force was 150.000, mobilization was 350.000 and other 200.000 is volontueers, who sign up contract because of huge payment. Thats all. Dont spread misinformation!

I've got to known many Ukrainians that are affected by the war and witnessed first hand, how a Family lost it's father, while he was fighting and they got refuge here in Switzerland.
Since this moment, I can't play Shooters anymore. The cry of the mother and children really went through my bones...
And this was one loss. To imagine hundreds of thousands already died in that war is beyond my comprehension.
I have served 20 months in Ukraine, mostly Donbas and Kherson. I know just as many guys who died in vehicle accidents as artillery.
Please try to minimise Ukrainian casualties brother.. Ukraine can receive endless supply of equipment, but manpower, every man on the Ukrainian frontline is priceless. 🙏 God be with Ukraine
I’m so lucky I had an amazing support system when I finished in my 21st year.

Here's an idea for conscription: In addition to congressional approval have a referendum on it BUT only the people who are eligible for conscription get to vote on it. It'd avoid the issue to old people sending young people to die for nothing.
In the military, statistical analysis of EVERY injury is necessary on a constant ongoing basis and feedback loops instituted to give information to both the troops and the planners. Certainly designers and manufacturers of equipment should be informed of injuries involving their equipment.
About 85% of deployment casualties and deaths are DNBI. Disease and Non Battle Injuries.
I flew military Critical Care Life Flight, stabilizing and transporting critically ill patients, mainly military members.
Very few were combat related. Most were illnesses from infection or diseases; injuries from ground and air crashes.
315000 casualties out of 360000 are you serious come on man are you serious 😂🤣
5:25 My brain was like oh look a frog
For the much of human civilisation, the biggest killer of soldiers in war was disease, followed by environmental factors like freezing and heat, and starvation. Not unusual for more than half the army to die or desert while on march before they even reach the battlefield and less than 10% of casualties in a given campaign or war to be from any actual fighting. Only in last century or so did this begin to shift.
Yep. The turn around is relatively recent. WW1 then WW2. The speed of casualty evacuation has helped enormously as well as improvements in treatment. Compare the deaths of the Crimea war with 100 years later and the situations are totally reversed in terms of (military) deaths from combat or disease. Florence Nightingale was a nurse but, more importantly, also a statistician, and her stats on how people were dying totally revolutionized the focus.
Exactly what you say is documented true - in the Crimean war, 10000 soldiers died of dysentary before the first major battle, and it wasnt particularly a thing of importance but was accepted as a foregone conclusion as unavoidable (espeacially in the ranks as officers quarters were separate)

Biggest casualties for a military that hasn’t fought against a real army in decades.
Speaking as a collective of examples in history the highest death toll comes from following poor commands, strategies and decisions from high ranking officers who only got their position through being upper class, privately educated and involved in special interest groups of the aristocracy
Also those officers who don't value the opinions of their subordinate commanders

The mashine gunner is the deadliest job in accidents, because they simply get squished.
Self-inflicted, ruling out mishap or error of judgement, is alarming af.
One of the big issues i see with the calculations on casualty numbers is that it does not seem to take into account that in ukraine neither side has air supiriority which world really help mitigate casualties on the side that has it.
Training accidents caused more casualties to my unit than a deployment to Afghanistan did. So hard to comprehend
Did Afghanistan have a military, or was it just guys in sandals driving old toyotas?
I remember a story that someone told me many years ago. When people are frequently being stung by bees from one of his beehives, the beekeeper simply removes the queen for another less aggressive one. I think World War 11 would not have happened if this had been done in Germany.
I remember the line "A single flight of Apaches could end this war tomorrow"
The US 20 year war in Afghanistan wouldn't have lasted so long if there was a draft, that is why the US stopped it. Only 3% of the US population had skin in the game so it was easy to keep the war out of the public's attention. With an active draft that 3% goes to 90+% and that overmatches the US Military Industrial Complex!
no one wants to be in the army., the us missed recruitment by tens of thousands. if theres an unpopular war, that recruitment would dry up. No one in america wants to fight the russians or chinese.
I still think that the US military decided that we draftees were such a pain in the butt that they never wanted to see another one of us again. They gave us the mandatory re-up lecture as part of our separation. It lasted 2 seconds. They didn't want us to re-up and we wanted to get the hell away from them as quickly as possible. All they'd managed to do was convince us that they were incompetent and useless.
Examples of casualties/dead are realistic for Navy Seals ; selection/training is for best mental/physicsl characters,
But accidents that USA American life style produces are in an ENTIRELY different category!,
315k+ Russian KIA and WIA? Even mediazona counting hasn't reached 50k
Let's say mediazona is still undercounting, even if it's 3x times, still 150k, nowhere near 315k
This whole casualty list publication was started by Ukrainian MOD and other countries cite these numbers, they don't do their own calculations
A years ago Prigozhin said that Wagner suffered 20k and the Russian military 120k losses.
That was a years ago already and done by a pro Russian source.
In the end you can only try to calculate the losses but 50k in 2 years of intense fighting is very unlikely.
@@hikey7955but you forgot Prigozhin said Wagner troops killed 50 thousand Ukrainian soldiers 70 thousand were injured and that only happened in bakhmut source:guardian
I'm gonna place my bet before watching... is it the osprey?
I used to be a conscript in the army. Due to the war we only received 4 months of training instead of 6 months required. But we were lucky. The guys that were conscripted right after us had only 3 months of training. We were noticably less qualified than the guys who got a 6 months Training. But those who were trained for 3 months were outright unworthy. They have caused an incident which has significantly damaged an APC sending it to repairs and killed one private. They forgot the barrel cleaning equipment inside the 30mm cannon barrel before firing an HE round. explosion, gun operator was wounded, died before the arrival of the medics.and another incident where A BMP drove over a soldier. And another one where a BMP rolled over, luckily no casualties, minor equipment damage.
Yea, that shows how important it is that countries are ready for conflicts and don't engage in wars they are not prepared to fight
90% 🥶🥶
Common sense is when you become a soldier you are not expected to come home if you are going to fight in a foreign land, a soldier is supposed to fight and protect one’s family,home and country
Real balance of conscripts vs volunteers may not be accurate as most of volunteers preferred to be mobilised instead of signing a contract. This is considered more safe practice from legal point of view.
Did not know accidents cause more deaths then combat. I know 'friendly fire' is a big issue, but your stats show it is even more deadly than enemy fire?
Casualties in total war were always awful, the change is the size of the available personals because of bigger population, in theory in total war between China and India each army would have at list 100M available people
Accidents happen, stuff goes wrong, things fail, it’s unfortunate but with high risk it always comes, even in the shower you are at risk of slipping and hurting yourself
That's a lot
Any system that involves humans, whether as participants or the creator of said systems will be imperfect. Humans are inherently flawed and those flaws get projected in their actions. This isn't a good thing or a bad thing per se, but it does make things messy. Before you are anything else, you are human.

Almost never used in battle nowadays. Greatly used in common tasks where a knife is needed.
US can avoid casualties by not participating in wars and meddling with other countries
It’s hard when we have countless mutual defense treaties with countries all over the world, and on top of that hellbent on protecting the petrodollar. I think George Washington said something about foreign policy in his farewell address
Well unfortunately if you want to lead the largest defensive alliance in the world: NATO, you need to be an active participant
You can't just form NATO on a piece of paper and then keep all soldiers strictly within your own borders and think that's enough of a deterrent, because it isn't
you will need to be proactively involved in each of the interests of each member nation as they will not always get along with each other and they might even attack each other like Turkey and Greece
Being a part of the globalized world means you have to actively participate because if you don't there will always be someone else who will as nature abhors a vacuum and the strong leader position will be filled by someone
@@joohyunkyoung5905that's called entanglement theory
Have the war planners considered that wars are expensive and we're bankrupt? At least that will keep the casualties down. We spent $6 trillion invading Iraq and the potential bill for taking care of the casualties for the rest of their lives is another $2 trillion. Scale that up to a high intensity war that we have to borrow money to fund when we've already borrowed more than we can ever pay back. We really need to find some other method of conducting foreign policy than buying countries off or going to war with them if they don't do what we say. We're committing suicide.
When you wage war to siphon taxpayer money into private pockets, the bill tends to get rather big.
I have a feeling that we would revert to mainly gun-based naval warfare due to the issue of ammunition and training.
The question right from the start was, is it 1915 or 1918? Has current defensive technology outstripped offense? Creating stalemate, as per 1915? Or is offense possible, as in 1918?
We know the answer now, and the cause. Mines. With sufficient mines out, offense is suicide.
Ludendorff once remarked, strategic brilliance without tactical superiority is useless.
Short of a technical breakthrough offensive war is simply no longer possible.
Very bold general statement.
Mines have been a thing for a very long time, and didnt save the french from Hitler.
Ukraine is currently stuck in the russian minefields (and the other way around) but we did see quite a lot of successful attack warfare in the earlier days.
With the push on Kiev and then the retaking of Cherson.
Training unfortunately never is enough for young men working with heavy & dangerous equipment & under extreme situationz - i'm wondering how military statz would compare with say... residential construction industry

In my neck of the woods it’s called “bastardisation” that is making something onerous, exhausting, humiliating etc just to be a bastard, without a valid military objective. It’s cure is easy, make the “trainers” aware they will be serving in the same unit as graduates of the program, in other words, the trainers will have to depend on the students at some future time. It is the case that hubris and arrogance can cause neglect of standards and slip in standards. I was on a National Safety Council for a high risk sport for some years. The stats were consistent, the “accidents” happened to students early in their training then the next highest group to suffer “accidents” were the most highly experienced!
Future of war's going to be remotely controlled machines fighting each other.
But the problem with a 'remote pilot' is going to be interruption of wireless signals.
So next step is going from 'enemy identification' to fully AI powered automatic targeting and trigger, so you can send a drone in to automatically target enemies and the enemy having drones that automatically return fire.
You simply cannot put a platoon of people against a platoon of remotely operated drones and expect a decent outcome.
SAS in borneo lost more men through accidents like this than in combat. Same with Australian SAS in Vietnam
For a while it almost seemed like modern large-scale peer conflicts were a relic of the past. Ever since the end of the Second World War with reliance on MAD and proxy wars along with increasing globalization. Two modern militaries engaging in a direct war seemed unthinkable. Its mind blowing that we are witnessing a massive peer war in Europe with hundreds of thousands of casualties.
They are not equally matched forces.
Canada's solution to this during WWII was to have conscription to units that would not be used for overseas service. Buttigieg has proposed (and perhaps has a trial program) of national service in non-military organizations. Properly managed (always a problem with large bureaucracies the US) (and perhaps Canada) could employ young people for one or two years, have cadres of young people trained with military skills, or emergency relief skills or alleviate understaffing in schools and medical facilities.
It's not surprising that the military sees high accident rates. We have the energy and risk-taking instincts of youth, hyped up, flooded with adrenaline operating powerful and demanding vehicles in unsafe conditions.
I had a stepfather(Don Hackett from burien Washington)that was a radio man in Vietnam, heard some noises in the jungle and went on a killing spree. He came back with a purple heart but left the planet's surface with a big house full of his blood thanks to the bottle.😢
That's sad bro. Hope he found peace in heaven 🙏😞💕
Conscription is probably practiced by smaller countries that may not have another choice due to a lack of people. In my country the situation might get more acute due to a declining birth rate (by ~40% over the last 30 yrs) though overall population is still increasing due to immigration, so there're going to be less people to defend more people. In 1 of the clubs I joined in school, I was probably the only one (out of the club's 20+ members) to serve conscription as the other members were female or foreign students. After you serve conscription you become military reserve personnel, many of whom are legally required to be excused from work usually 2x/year to attend military refresher training (until you're 30+ yrs old), so some locals will worry that employees will find them less flexible than foreigners, & thus discriminate against hiring locals
About Ukraine, people seem to forget that since WW1 artillery was by far the main cause of casualties (not machineguns or anything else) and back then it was completely random fire with less powerful explosives in the shells when they landed.
Even in WW2 where you would think the war was more mobile and you had tanks and more advanced infantry weapons, CAS from planes etc.. it was still artillery in 1st place. Anywhere from 50 to 75% of casualties depending on the front you consider.
Fast forward to these days we have even more powerful explosive compounds than WW2 era, more guidance systems, and now drones delivering them directly on your head with not much guesswork. The human body just cannot handle that. Neither the blast nor the shrapnel. And this is only the spanish war of drones, im 100% sure we will have autonomous drone swarms you can release towards a place in a few years time.
Drones are quickly catching up with Artillery. Your comment about drone swarms is creepy. Imagine hundreds of explosive drones slamming into a base overwhelming Air Defenses.
Do they add civilian murders into those numbers?
of cause no
Conscription for WWIII would be too little too late. We need something to create a desire to serve for the nation, coupled with personal gain (skills and experience). I had many job offers when I left the military, I could pick and choose because the companies offering jobs knew I would come to work on a daily basis and brought people skills to the table.
0:15 that probably means dead and wounded
The people in charge don't want this video to be seen. Well Done!
People from the USA learned and discovered that if two equal armies meet, this will lead to great casualties. If the war lasts a long time, then there will be a need for mobilization. Half of the video is about non-battle casualty, and the other part is about combat losses. And the story about non-battle casualty is as if it were something amazing and incredible, but in fact it is an ordinary death, that is, he died during normal work or in an accident. It's no wonder why Americans are considered stupid and some are considered effeminate. What does it say here, in Eastern Europe they tell it in high school (Poland is the best)
The contract army is good, but it is very expensive and if there is a big war, this army will quickly wear down. And here we will have to mobilize. The Conscription Army is less professional, but during peacetime it is much cheaper. Also, if there is mobilization, it will be faster and easier to train people, because they served in the army
Silly how we can't master even the basics like safety after almost 100 years
Who anticipated a modern, high intensity conflict would have low casualties? The lethality of weapons has only gone up since WW2.
even if the war ends today thousands with pschological troubles will return home
When they tell you that casualties caused by accidents are more than the combat casualties you have to know that they are lying about combat casualties.
Or it shows the US military hasn't been up against a real military since ww2.
Nani?!?!
Huh... Guess Arma 3´s driving physics aren´t so unrealistic after all.
just like the buff said..war does not decide who is right. war decides who is left.
Russia has not lost that many troops.
It's an estimate and the offical death count is classified.
@@Av8B-HarrierGGestimates must be based on something. For example, Mediazona project - Russian anti-Putin media labeled as Foreign Agent by Russian authorities bases it's estimates on obituaries and inheritance legal cases for certain ages. And it's latest estimates in the late autumn of 2023 were around 75 000 KIA.
Ukrainian MOD bases it's numbers of Russian losses - both human and material - on nothing, it's straight up fairytales for the media.
They need to make a peace deal. Both sides need peace.
Let’s all pray it never comes to conscription again in the USA. It would mean shit has truly hit the fan.
Then better to aid Ukraine now itself. If Ukraine falls then others like china and iran will be encouraged to start wars and that will keep growing until finally the US will be involved directly at some point
