(He greatly appreciates anyone who’s willing to donate. He’s been here since the start of the war in Ukraine. We met in the unit we were both in a year ago. He’s been through the Kharkiv offensive as well as Bakhmut, not to mention his incredible background in the U.S. Military. Anyone who meets him has nothing but nice things to say about him,
so the opportunity I have with this channel to help him and his family out in their time of need is my priority). Thanks to you all, and Slava Ukraini!

Having these guys working so close and not knowing the same language seems like stacking the odds against you
The Russian foreign fighters are having the same issues
Yes, but there aren’t many foreign fighters, the majority of the Russian army a dudes pulled off the streets in random cities
@@jimdog8294 same with Ukraine lol
@@gustaflekander718Russian men actually are fighting for their country they aren’t “pulled off the streets” like in Ukraine
@@tu1469 lol, "Russian men actually are fighting for their country" -- try reading this again + look at the map
Open top turret in a world of airburst munitions and drone dropped grenades is just crazy. Not to mention 25× sniper scopes and the elevation difference in urban warfare...
and no clear communication too! Absolutely insane.
all we can do is Pray for them, War is hell, and the way how they need to fight is crazy sad.
PS. sry for my english…
Also with remote turrets being invented, manned turrets on vehicles is dumb.
@@kyoMcMushy it might be dumb but do you really think ukr has pleasure of asking the USA for upgrades to their vehicles 😂? They are holding the '2nd best' army in the world with a load of properly untrained and a mix match of gear I'd say they are doing quite well
and anti-vehicle rifles with HEI rounds.
That fighting in the field is a good example of how most combat goes. You rarely see the enemy, you only return fire from the direction they are shooting from. Thats why it took 250,000 rounds to take down 1 insurgent during the Afghanistan war. Its not like Call of Duty or the movies.
Большинство смертей от артиллерии, которой тут кстати совсем не слышно, видимо это какая-то небольшая засада на каком-то не оживленном участке фронта
Yeh, I often say it to people who go like "where the enemy at", to take a friend and ask him to stand at one end of a football field. Now imagine your friend about three times that distance away and you get a good idea of what "close contact" is considered irl.
More fog of war than anything, they seemed like they're driving around aimlessly in a deathbox and the worst part is that there's a language barrier between the driver and the gunner.

This is hilariously fake, y’all are 🤡🤡🤡
Man it's just so hard to understand where the enemy is as far as where to shoot. It's also surprising the gunner switches to different drivers. You'd think a continuous working relationship with 1 gunner 1 driver would allow for greater effectiveness. The chaos and unknown scares me the most.

@@VGDomination It's actually hilarious how many of you make fun of Zelensky for acting when Reagan and Trump both acted, the cognitive dissonance is insane.
Holy fuck these guys have no leadership, its like someone said fuck it and rounded up a group of guys, gave them ammo and sent them to the front for the afternoon!
There's no field command here, huh? Last I checked it's even worse for the Russians.
@@angrydragon4574 it isn’t worse for the Russian military.
Right? Exactly what I was thinking. So much lack of aggression as well. The driver is literally driving as if he's afraid to break the Humvee. Bruh, just drive. Like sheesh
@@bracoop2it’s not his fault he probably just watching cnn a little too much
Wars are won by grunts, infantry, non coms...
im a noob but this looks very disorganized and chaotic
that's typically how real combat works. You don't have game elements like a minimap, squad chat or anything like that. You get whatever you can through your radio, have your maps and the knowledge of the area in your head and that's it.
its people working together who dont speak the same language but its real life unfortunately
@@magma2680 not really, have you seen Western forces fighting together? This is probably the case when both parties have poor supply and cant even communicate properly.
Us gamers dont have a clue😂 to me shots sound like fireworks 😂😂😂 kinda scary ww3 is so close... when it happens i will have to fight for my country😟
You'd think every soldier would have like a Google translate device or something. And why don't they have a map? Why is there not AI generated combat zones on a iPad being fed by fpv? Like, I know that sounds hi tech, but don't people always say tech is first developed for the military and then finds its way into commercial space, like superimposed maps and translator apps are old now. This seems chaotic. I thought western armies would have much better tech by now. To think we would be anywhere near having robots deployed on the battlefield 😂 maybe all the west's military advancement is being held back by another entity besides just plain greed and incompetence.
It's such a beautiful spring day
And they’re playing war
This is absolutely insane! I cant even comprehend how you guys keep calm under this kind of stress.. True heroes!

Takes a lot of guts to sit in those turrets. Also didn't know they had MRAP's out there, if that is indeed what they are.
Or a JLTV but yeah kinda hard to tell from this view angle.
Looks like a MATV to me
I'd love to have an MRAP. Are they easy to own?
@@G.W-01mrap is an umbrella term for a multitude of vehicles. As the U.S. army doesn’t even have JLTVs force wide Ukraine definitely doesn’t have any. These are actually British MXT-MV MRAPs, pretty old vehicles having been used since early 2010s.
@@yankees21393MXT-MV MRAP, far too small for a matv
That top gun would be much more effective if it had a tray for the ammo box to sit square with the gun as it moved there would not be so many malfunctions.
after he switches vehicles later in the video there is a tray.

i like how the gunner is trying to lean another language will trying to communicate with the driver
Damn, looks like absolute chaos.
8:46 really got me, but there were many moments, where I was just admiring your tough nerves, the way you handle situations is very inspiring.
Looks like a live training event imo. When he says contact that's all you get. What direction is the contact coming from, what distance, and what type and size of contact do you see??? all in all its a massive cluster of confusion, lack of communication, and situational awareness.
Plus his machine-gun fires 3 rounds before the belt kinks up and he has to hitail it out of the contact
Its not all ideal in there

There has always been war even during "peaceful eras" not even just in Europe, as the Balkans usually have some genocide or civil war going on. Ukraine is just a big country being attacked by Russia, only reason your hearing about it.
Russians and peace? XD
Billyman, war is nothing new. From selfish royalty to genocidal dictators and terrorists, there will always be war. Your best bet is to hope it never happens to you because even if you survive, you will likely lose everything you've ever worked for. War ain't pretty.
- you allow russians "to live in peace" - and they will create a new war.

PERIDU! Is gonna live rent free in my head for a bit.
He mixed up some words, in Ukrainian it sounds a little different “Vpered” is forward, “Nazad” is back
It's strange they didn't assign someone who knows some English to work with the Americans. Is that such rare a skill that it's infeasible?
1% of Ukrainians know English..
Same as they can't speak ukraine. Whats the diffirence
He probably does know a little bit of English just like how the other guy knows a little bit of Ukrainian, it's just not enough and being in a high stress environment is going to make a difficult task that much harder.
It's strange they didn't assign someone who knows some Ukrainian to work with the Ukrianians. Y'know, since it's their war, not ours.
@@xPeopleKindx yeah makes it hard.. dude in the turret is probably gonna be dead within a month sadly
On one hand I like that the videos are confusing because that's how it is for the people living it, but on the other it would be really cool to have some illustration showing where the enemy is and what the mission objective is.
How would u do a illustration of where the enemies are, if these soldiers don't know, and thus can't tell civ div where they are
@@gabrielneves6602 Oh man. I was thinking sometimes they may actually know. But you are saying that in the history of this war, no one has ever known where the bad guys are. Thanks for the insight.
@@eriklarson9137 I ain't saying that no one ever knows bro, I'm saying that if the guys that send the footage are the soldiers that filmed it, and they don't know what is happening it is high unlikely that we could ever got an overlay of what is happening. One thing is situations like the house with the spetznaz group, there u could of course speculate where the guys where during the fight. Other is the mrap videos, where they usually are at open fields or under ambushes, so it is almost impossible to tell the enemy position
Yep.. for all I know this guy is just shooting the trees and bushes.. clearly shooting at an empty field at random at one point
A simple geo locating and then looking at deepstate map would he simple. Also keep i mind this war is going on right now, opsec still matters
3:12 Man just 5 foot to the left and that would’ve been the end of the road for bro up in that 50cal turret!!..
😳😬🫣
Glad it didn’t work out that way tho!! But bro barely even flinched and doesn’t even acknowledge the fact of it coming down, almost directly on top of them.. That’s a extremely experienced operator right there!! Prayers for his continued luck and wellbeing tho!!
🙏🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼
watching that again, I think the reason it missed was because he told the driver to slow down. if he kept going at the same speed they might have gotten clipped
@@DJSpoiledMilk17 That and not to mention that they weren’t perfectly on the road either. Even if he slowed even more than he did, they still would’ve been clipped had they just been a couple feet to the left.. you can see a perfect strafe going clear across that road.. granted that the majority of the blast was to the front and slightly to the right. It still hit the whole road.. You know the Russians were in complete disbelief that shot missed if they were watching it live from a drone tho!! Lol, they had to be pissed that they were so close, yet so far at the same time!! Would’ve loved to see the looks on all their faces when they realized that they didn’t hit crap, at least with that round anyways!!
Edit your time stamp to 3:08
@@hoidoei941Why, it’s where I wanted it..
@@fahhcue850 Well I was guessing you were referring to that airburst seconds earlier right?
At 20:44 looks like you can see a muzzle flash just in front of the vehicle in the forest line. That’s intense hearing those bullets whizzing being on top of a mg.
20:39 is very clear, they were close
I watched it in slow motion, looks like a rectangular white spot, i think its a recording artifact, happens when the camera is exposed to shaking and vibrating all the time
@@LunarBulletDevLooks like a muzzle flash to me, I can't say that I've seen any of the GoPro footage getting messed up before even with artillery and grenades going off in close proximity.

That sinking feeling when you know they've got you dialed-in and bracketed...
Gunners need some magnetic containers/pouches or magnets to customize their containers/pouches for use in the turret armor.
Another thing (idk if it’d work) would be some kind of brass deflector attached via magnet

The best way in combat is to set your group to the one type of language or commands. They could pick a language of numbers instead, but numbers sounds different on different languages
this lot are clueless they have more chance of shooting themselves than the enemy
While I appreciate and respect the heroism, it seems like the lack of communication and command support is turning this into a more of a fiasco than a path to victory. These troops need support
what are the cross markings on the trucks? do they mark a certain unit maybe?
From what I have seen the crosses are for identifying Ukrainian vehicles, similar to how the Russians use Zs on theirs.
Great idea donating the hip plates form CZcams money ❤
I swear you’ve uploaded this video like three times already.
same situation different perspectives
feel like the ammo box should sit on a plate mounted to the gunsheild
It's usually on the cradle mount and stays lined up with the gun, so you don't have to worry about your ammo belts binding like he was.
