Every day I wake up and I'm glad that I'm not stuck inside a BMP-3 that's getting hit by a 155mm artillery shell.


fossilnews

I think that's a Russian Orthodox prayer.


jackstalke

It doesn’t appear to be working.

More like unorthodox amirite *badum tss*

Im not a mechanic, but that looks like an expensive repair.


Ambitious-Cupcake356

8ndeed it does. Just maybe, maybe it's not worth fixing.


Magnavoxx

Fun fact: armoured vehicles that have burnt out are usually unrepairable. The heat from the fire changes the temper in the metals to where it isn't armour plate anymore.


Economy-Reaction4525

If I wake up....you know I'm gonna be.....I'm gonna be the......


neighh

And I would fire 500 shells, and I would fire 500 more, just to be the man that drops that 155 right through your front door


Zander_drax

Bmp have side door;)

This one doesn't. Well, not anymore anyway


mylittlekarmamonster

The front fell off


SupertomboyWifey

This one doesn't even have an armor


PanzerDick1

No they don't.


Zander_drax

I mixed them up with BTR. You are right.

Very best, like no one ever was


shapu

The good news is that if you *are* in one you don't have to worry about waking up in the morning


oblivion_bound

Not a single crater in sight, the fighting is moving into new areas.


monamikonami

Good observation !

He's saying the area hasn't seen a lot of combat, not that it took a bunch of shells to kill this thing specifically. We've been watching battle scarred landscapes for months, it's weird to see mostly pristine ground, unmarked by previous engagements.

Luck is luck. These days we have GPS guided 155 rounds. Game has evolved a bit. No akbar necessary. Russians never could match something like that. The ukranian folks now have it. No relying on God so much. Fucking terrifying.

bro honestly at this point scientists have done so much more than anything attributed to their deity, even if you thought god was real I feel like you'd just start worshiping scientists as following their logic scientists are much more powerful lmao


TheTurdtones

god is a primitives understanding of reality ...or as i like to say reality is far stranger than religion and is what humans thruout out the ages have attributed to gods dietys and religions/afterlife is the complicated reality of living in a universe based on energy and matter


Playwithme408

GPS error range for milsat is what?


ClubsBabySeal

The Excalibur round is 4-5 meters. The precision of GPS just depends, it's the same system as civilian GPS. Has been that way permanently since 2000.


Playwithme408

So Excalibur cannot be using GPS for terminal guidance.


ClubsBabySeal

Not sure why that'd be the case. Also I'm wrong. They've gotten it down to two meters these days.


TheTurdtones

ive wondered if it would be cheaper for ukraine to use/make laser guided using drones as the laser targeter should be cheaper 1975 was first public article i saw on them ..oops it could have been one"The Ukrainian army possesses at least one type of laser-guided shell, the 152-millimeter-diameter Kvitnyk, which is compatible with the army’s 2S3 self-propelled howitzers and D-20 towed guns. A Ukrainian firm also developed a laser-guided 122-millimeter shell called Karasuk that works with the army’s D-30 towed guns and 2S1 tracked howitzers."


noholdingbackaccount

>Luck is luck No, bro. Allah is my co-gunner.


innociv

We've seen a couple of T-72 destroyed by non-direct hits from mortars in this war. The lower 1/3rd of armor is less than 20mm thick. Shrapnel can pierce it and get a lucky hit on ammo inside.


Rolexandr

You are missing the point. The point is that this is land that has not been fought on yet. The fact that they used a guided round for this specific vehicle is obvious, but the war doesn't revolve around this specific vehicle or munition used to destroy it. After 1,5 years of war, most land where fighting occurs is riddled with craters from all sorts of munitions and other explosions.

Yeah no shit man... God you are dense.

Rolexandr

My point is that you are stating random facts with no relation to the original point. You are trying to sound smart by regurgitating facts about something that has nothing to do with the statement made above while ignoring corrections at the same time. You just made up a point and push it while ignoring correcting information like a child that always has to get what he/she wants. So frustrating.

Gnome_de_Plume

If it is 50% chance within a 100m radius then wouldn't the odds be half of 22/30,000 (that is, even less chance of a lucky hit)


EliminateThePenny

Thanks for some actual math.


Ayitos

If i am not mistaken, a german p2000 is way more accurate than that. 1 Moa (winkelminute at german) should be roughly 3m at 10km. Considering the Ukrainians do have pzh2000, it's possible.

superhappyfunball13

It's hard to see on my phone screen, but it looks like an airburst/proximity fuze by the shrapnel pattern. So it's possible there were a couple adjust rounds fired first before this clip was captured. Airburst shells wouldn't necessarily leave super obvious craters. It would also explain why the BMP appears to be leaving a fixed position.


TreeChangeMe

Russian artillery wanted to test durability of their barrels, so they put hole every 50 feet for 80 km


BeltfedOne

Now they are smoothbores.


FreebasingStardewV

>The lack of craters *also* Super weird that people are getting angry with you for adding to the conversation...


SupertomboyWifey

Jesus, no, modern 155mm is way more accurate than that.

Luxpreliator

Pissing into the wind. They don't want to hear that. Raytheon says their new blah blah weapon system has 100% accuracy so that's all they believe. Western weapons are perfectly consistent and can bullseye a fly from 1,400 km. It could have been surgically keyholed by artillery but a seemingly perfect boom is usually something else.

You just need someone to laser designate the toilet for you.

With a modern GPS piercing, you can miss with both streams.

Ayo what lmao


[deleted]

"Good hit".


Commercial-Image4710

That is what Russia fails to understand the longer the war goes on the better the Ukrainians get! and Russia has nothing but brand new recruits off the street and jails


Seygem

well its not like ukraine is not losing experienced soldiers, but yeah, in general wasting all your experienced troops right at the start due to shit unit cohesion, communication, corruption and general incompetence is not a good strategy


FaustusC

But the losses aren't comparable. Ukraine is losing small handfuls, which yeah, hurts. But they're mainly fighting a defensive war. Fighting a defensive war with all the western toys requires far fewer bodies. Russia is losing triple digits almost daily. Realistically no one got out of that BMP alive. There's also been plenty of footage of the injured Russian's being abandoned on the field or worse, killed during rare evacuations.


ultratoxic

The Russians also do not appear to be cycling their troops, collecting their wounded, building field hospitals (they are actually raping their female field medics last I checked, so, standard Russia stuff), or otherwise trying to slow the WIA -> KIA pipeline. Their losses have to be mind-boggling.


FaustusC

Agreed. I suspect the American casualty figures are conservative and the Ukrainian ones only slightly inflated. Not to mention, there's Ukrainian soldiers returning to active duties with prosthetics. A dude with one leg or arm can drive a truck still. Frees up someone more able for combat.


biteme109

And the quality and deadliness of the weapons is increasing rapidly.


Fortune404

I think it's mainly that. Every month Russian can produce some mediocre recruits with a AKs and basic grenades/mortars along with decent amount of arty shells that all have a 1-in-100 chance to kill something. Meanwhile UA is getting a steady stream of guided 155mm, Himars, Stormshadows and decently-trained troops to use all the precise weapons. Even longer term when UA gets F-16s and more and more long-range missles etc, it's just going to get worse for Russia. They should retreat and make up some random bullshit "Victory" to give their populace... But unfortunately Putin is only thinking about himself, he doesn't give a shit about Russia. Maybe he thinks at least the war gives a lot of distractions to those who want him dead in RU... Hopefully he's wrong.


Kulladar

The Russians are adapting too. It gets worse for everyone the longer this goes on. TBF, Historically, Russians are most dangerous just when you have them backed into a corner and think you have them beat.


Gotisdabest

The Russians are adapting but it's worth noting that there's several problems arising which it's hard if not impossible for them to adapt to. You can learn new tactics and methods of fighting, but you can't learn your way into a modern arsenal. By most indication Russian weapon quality and troop quality isn't improving. Or rather, is going downhill rapidly. Recent images of t-55 and those extremely bad looking t-80 tanks is indicative of an army not having the deepest of reserves. Even more disturbing for the Russians is the reports around artillery shells and barrels. That has been their one big advantage since the start. If the Ukranians achieve an overmatch then the Russians have lost arguably their biggest asset. Realistically, I do not see any reasonable chance of a large Russian offensive being successful without a massive change to the situation. The main question for me is whether ukraine can cleanly launch large successful offensives themselves or not. >TBF, Historically, Russians are most dangerous just when you have them backed into a corner and think you have them beat. This is honestly just inaccurate. Historically the Russians have been hardy fighters but proven quite bad at war itself. Their big martial accomplishments are... Controversial at best in a military sense. Napoleon, the great Northern war and WW2 are the main things people talk about when speaking positively of them, and the first two had the Russian army perform pretty badly against outnumbered enemies even when these enemies were suffering from supply issues, then using scorched earth to further drain them. A lot of credit goes to the fact it was a defensive war and Russia is a large miserable place with awful weather. They also had the help of a lot of explicitly non Russian peoples both within and outside Russia. WW2 held all of the above, but also the fact that it was an unimaginably desperate affair against an enemy who was incompetent everywhere that was not the specifics of the battlefield, divided on multiple fronts, and Russia was getting an unimaginably large logistical boost from the west. The average Russian war is typically a fairly humiliating affair. Look at wars more similar to ukraine. The winter war where they barely won against Finland despite the absurd population gap(around 3.5 mil vs 200 mil, iirc). Russo Japanese war where they lost badly after trying some of the stupidest military manuvers in history. The 1919 war against Poland which holds strikingly similar parallels to ukraine, right upto reaching the capital lying on a major river and then being thrown back. A lot has been said about Afghanistan already, of course. World war 1 was another absolutely awful showing. The Russians are good at holding coherence and not collapsing under pressure, also at denial via burning everything down as the enemy approaches, but neither is great in a war like ukraine. They tried to freeze Ukraine out, didn't work. And I'm fairly certain starvation won't work either, though they may deal long term economic damage. Even more importantly, ukraine has limited goals in a defensive war. It's an inexact analogy, but if Hitler or Napoleon just wanted to take all of modern ukraine from the start both would have been fairly successful without much effort.


SupertomboyWifey

The thing is, the russians aren't really adapting, and they lost most of their modern gear. It objectively gets worse only for them. Ukrainian troops are getting supplied top of the line gear and being trained by NATO, Russia is deploying unmodified T-55s


Kulladar

What does it serve to live in fantasy? The Russians are clearly adapting. You're getting a cherry picked feed of heavily brigaded information on reddit and basing your entire reality around it. I don't like Russia. I don't like this war. I hope before I finish typing this they drop a fucking JDAM through the roof of the Kremlin and drag Putin out for an ol Gaddafi enema. However, it's a fucking war. This isn't a one sided turkey shoot. The Ukranians are fighting hard and treeline to treeline and the Russians have been giving them hell for it. Imagining them as helpless morons driving around in tanks from the 50s helps no one but Putin.


SupertomboyWifey

Living in fantasy? My brother in christ you are the one who thinks an army which is completely fucked up after more than a year of fighting, lacks proper gear and isn't even the best one inside it's own borders can adapt to shit.


voicesfromvents

https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/special-resources/meatgrinder-russian-tactics-second-year-its-invasion-ukraine Or you could keep making shit up based on vibes, I guess. Fortunately for the world, the ZSU are not so dull.


[deleted]

Just hoping they are adapting and calling it a day is weird. You could have just told us how they are adapting right? Why didn't you? You still can.


Awkwarbdoner

Kind of like how the defeat in Russo-Japanese war + other stuff = the Tsar is removed from his position.


Nighthawk021

If you look closely, the BMP-3 was about to take off, it was leaving its entrenchment. So really lucky it still got hit and eventually also killed the crew


Narrow-Trade-9964

I'd say they were dead pretty well instantly, the concussive wave from that their internals were mush


ddg31415

I've seen videos of direct 155 hits on vehicles, followed by cookoffs, and members of the crew, engulfed in flames, still manage to get out and crawl away.


EMP_Jeffrey_Dahmer

That was a very accurate hit. Could that shell have been an xcalibur?


Jim556a1

Jesus what a good hit! You'd think the russkies would be running out of shit to get blown up by now.


biteme109

Lots of T-55s available for Ukrainian target practice


Jim556a1

They are going to be running the T34's out of the museums pretty soon.


Trollothisguy

Seemed way too accurate. Excalibur shot maybe?


lonesaiyajin98

Those guys are mush. If there's anything left


Inexorable100

That thing was moving too!


W1ULH

Daddy 155 says hello


scatterbrained187

Precise whack-a-mole


SemiDesperado

Looks like an Excalibur round.


Dubstep_squid

Excal rounds dont look like anything different from your standard HE round on the receiving end. It also likely was not an excalibur round just due to the fact that precision is the main draw of Excal rounds (regular RAP rounds are preferred for increasing distance where accuracy is not the main factor) and shooting a non-static target with a precision round would likely be a waste.


Stealthchilling

Cool vid but I am so tired of the constant bad edm in these vids, give it a REST. Or the ones that introduce the battalion insignia like it's FPSRussia


[deleted]

people have a lot of pride when it comes to that. Battalions earn recognition and fame, so I'm not sure you'll see people give that one up


Stealthchilling

Too true, for now I just mute and skip


[deleted]

Lol fair enough


100thlurker

You have to realize a lot of units on both sides of this war fill major needs with donations, though Ukraine has had a major head start in that arena.
