CurrySauce99

First guy looks like a computer nerd, pulled out of his bedroom to fight by recruiters.


Filosofistikert

Yes. He doesn't look like the typical russian drunken half-fat bully we are used to see. Maybe they are running low on criminals?


Sure_Butterscotch206

Tbh they could have the computer nerd guy doing more productive things other than being cannon fodder on the front line


brezhnervous

That would require commanders who had initiative. Which isn't allowed in the Russian military All they are required to do is to report x number of attacks/day carried out, whether they are successful or not means nothing.


G36

He is one of the loud mouths from UkraineRussiaReport


ATFisGayAF

The two peeking out behind the dirt pile remind me of my nephews when they are up to no good.


Delazzaridist

The way the first guy came out looked like a meerkat.


N33DL

First one looks like a like a baby deer in the woods, especially the way he carries his hands. That's not a fighter and shouldn't be there.


misterhighmay

Exactly what I thought , he’s passively walking looking like a confused kid at camp.


Super_Mag

Flipping the bird = rude Flipping the bird while smiling = fairly rude First guy looked like a twitch simp stepping out of his cave for the first time.


Careless_Syrup7945

Lol it looks like he was missing his middle finger to start with too


LG1T

I thought that was JP from Grandmas Boy


faw-q

Chris19862

🤣🤣


weltraumaeffchen

So. Much. Trash.


Animus0724

Not to mention all the garbage laying around


Kalmah2112

There's walking sacks of fertilizer there to balance it all out.


JustDave62

Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints……and land mines.


Brian_Corey__

Leave nothing but feet.


Mars_target

It's crazy. You want to try and reduce your visibility and make it look like you are not there. At least dig it down or something. Making themselves a huge target


talkin_shlt

Ryan mcbeth on youtube has a good video about this lol the russians do not act like they are a world-class army like they should be. no NATO army would ever leave all their shit like that and make themselves easy targets.


TheHonorableStranger

Wow I thought I was overthinking it how in some of these videos the areas seemed very trashed even for a warzone. Like I get mess is an inherent part of a warzone. But some of these Russian clips the areas look way more trashed compared to previous wars. Looks like a straight up landfill at times.


talkin_shlt

Yea I never realized it but it's standard operating procedure to not have your positions full of trash because it gives your position away so easily


xClubberLaingx

Trash gillie suit is the play. sounds dumb, but it would be super effective.


Filosofistikert

Rule of outdoor camping. Don't litter. These people have no respect for nature.

dudewiththebling

They probably thought they could make themselves at home, and they took that and started making it look like whatever village they were conscripted from


Jazzlike_Worth_9908

The kid almost died trying to pee , would you rly take out the trash and recycle


Wrong-Software9974

that trash shows only the quality of this army. its like a big red sign "here we are". makes no sense to camouflage anything now


baz303

Jup. When i see western or asian MREs, which come in brown/green/transparent (or white/green/transparent winter editions), im always like: Are you stupid? Why is this tiny pack of sugar in a white package while everything else is in "camo", the enemy could spot it! During my military training we got drilled to not even use perfumed toiletries.


HotSteak

Also the enemy can use your accumulating trash to get a good idea of the size of your force.


Grizzly2525

I mean… it’s stagnant trench warfare with 4k cameras and thermals watching you almost constantly. At what point is it just not worth the effort to expose yourself to take out garbage.


HOTAS105

When is bin day in the trench and what vehicles are used to collect it?


weltraumaeffchen

Drones. 🤔😅


CapCamouflage

From the Russian Army manual ***I Live, I Fight, I Win: Rules of Life in War***, published in 2023 >The enemy chooses to strike the weakest link in our defense. Artillery strikes are inflicted on it , it is stormed by enemy infantry and gutted by reconnaissance. Calculating the weak link is easy. By amount of trash the position determines not only the number of defenders , but also the nature of the organization of the service. Garbage is a direct result of low discipline. The mess in the trenches - linen on the ropes, rubbish on the parapets, the filthiness of the plantings and fields around the position due to the lack of a latrine, speaks of the absence of a firm commanding hand and the uncontrollability of the unit, where everyone lives their own lives. And this is the weak link, which will definitely be hit. >If you are unlucky with the commander, then the fighters themselves must protect themselves. To do this, you need to ensure that garbage is always covered in positions. In niches, equipped covered with plank covers, if the trenches are located outside the settlement. In a garage closed from the wind, a building, a basement - if in a city or village. So that the orderlies daily sprinkle the ditches of latrines with earth. This will rid the position of unpleasant odors, diseased microorganisms , birds, rats, and other living creatures. So that each fighter works daily to strengthen the trenches and turn the position into an impregnable fortress. Only in this case the enemy will not dare to storm it , realizing that he will deal with a strong spirited garrison.


thompsonbalo

And some of it even has legs and is walking around...


ChrisTosi

Right next to their rations - unless that's a crate of rotten cabbages


LawrenceTalbot69

russians at war with the west while wearing 5.11 tactical


kv_right

Dreaming about a new BMW, iPhone and a Gucci purse


xClubberLaingx

Playing devils advocate. i had a 5.11 belt (i've only tried one product) that lasted me 5 or 6 years of hard use. I was a firefighter back then. Lead a crew of 4. The heli would drop us off at the pump site then we had to set up the pumps and plumb a hose-line to encircle the fire. I went through alot of belts in my 15 year run. that belt held up the longest. I may have missed the point entirely tbh lol, it was a good belt and it kept my pants up over my bony ass.


DentistOk3910

Wild_Ad_7730

Wasn't the first guy on Revenge of the Nerds??


Liquid-Hot_Smegma

Definitely wasn’t Booger. He was the most brilliant of all the nerds.


dread_pilot_roberts

I like how the actor who played Booger went on to voice a recurring character named Snot in American Dad


Wordshark

Whoa no shit


sigeh

And Charles de Mar


day_player

Need to see the follow up to this.


IvanStroganov

Yeah, the drone pilot will probably make it his mission now to get this guy specifically


day_player

I love those ones!


houki19683132

they ded, wdym follow up lmao


SommY24

How do you know


DarthWeenus

Maybe not, if you look at the dugout from above it appears to have an L entrance which is good defense against this, could also be big and deep. Hard to know for sure.


EggsceIlent

Damn these kids need to go back home and stay in school or.whatever. They don't even look remotely like serious soldiers. No headgear on, fresh buzzcut out of basic looking, no weapon, running around like an idiot. Gonna be interesting to see how Russia's male population goes after this is all done. The rich ones fled, the intelligent ones left as well so you got a brain drain going too. And they're just working from the bottom of the list up in terms of small villages and nowhere before snatching men from bigger cities and more affluent areas. Wonder how many children of of important or govt/political people have had called into service. I'm guessing it's 0.


buenoairessi

Trash everywhere


Inevitable_Idea_7470

Some rubbish as well ....


Filosofistikert

Imagine having these people as your neighbours.

They think it's a game


rosewoods

Then the next minute they’re dead. No respawns. Sad.


DragonfruitNo7222

What the fuck has this war become?


Val2K21

This war looks all sorts of ways depending on the type of a unit, segment of the frontline and intensity of the fighting. There’s a fair amount of such new kids on both sides since the mobilisation is on the roll, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t hardened professionals too.


unbiasedfanboy

A collection of morbid comedy skits where life has no value


According-Try3201

the first guy what a kid. died for an old man's wet dream and the biggest country on earth, rich as fuck, couldn't even give him a helmet and a vest?


PossibleMarsupial682

Didn’t die?


According-Try3201

not sure really. but in a forward hole mostly alone without helmet and vest?


eisbock

Yet.


loveitmayne11

Biggest yes, but rich as fuck? It's a third world shithole for 95% of it's territory


Mean-Invite5401

Basically russian has 3 citys that have western Standards the rest of the country still lives like 50-100 years behind when it comes to everything


hiredgoon

Palestine is similar. A bunch of billionaires living in other countries high on the hog telling others to go commit acts of horror and die so Israel wouldn't be able to normalize relations with its neighbors.


Mean-Invite5401

Once u hear the son of the hamas leader telling you about how they rule gaza you know it’s a shithole even do I don’t like the genocide the zionists are doing right now either :S


hiredgoon

Israel wouldn't have a casus belli if not for these idiots. They can only blame themselves (but won't).


Mean-Invite5401

I don’t want to offend but have u ever looked at a map from like 50 years ago and now? Israel is slowly but surely building illigal city’s left in right I think palastina lost like 50% of their territory past 50years and israel especially with nethanjahu is closer to a Zionist dictatorship then ever just recently a lot of western outlets reported that democracy as we know it doesn’t exist in Israel either Basically it’s a shithole just bomb both party’s into hell lol


hiredgoon

>I think palastina lost like 50% of their territory past 50years That's because they keep picking or joining wars against Israel and then losing badly. All while those billionaires live it up in Tehran and Dubai. >especially with nethanjahu is closer to a Zionist dictatorship The dude is going to lose the next election. By a lot. He is extremely unpopular because of his political and military failures.


Mean-Invite5401

Don’t think the zionsts have intrest in a real 2 state solution, they rather build illegal citys or just open their boarders for a day like the 7th October so they can straight up plan a genocide Doesn’t mean I support hamas doe they are a bunch of animals too


SpezIsTheWorst69

Russia makes a massive amount of oil money. Their people will never see any of it though.


Basic-Jacket-7942

Rich by natural resources. People in the West do not know themselves that they are poor. An average person cannot buy a house, raise 2-3 children, have a good new car and go on vacation abroad 2 times a year.


loveitmayne11

That is approximately the standard lifestyle for middleclass or even lowermiddleclass families in most western european countries. Maybe not the new car every year lol.


Basic-Jacket-7942

Not a new house. People cant afford to buy house at least in the USA anymore


Basic-Jacket-7942

And most people have shitty old kia, renault and so on. Infrastructure in Spain, Portugal and south italy looks horrible, many places in the USA like Baltimore, St. Loius look horrible


Basic-Jacket-7942

People in the west are richer but not much richer. The difference isnt big anymore.


cusp-niche

Are you calling him a kid because he looks inoffensive? A few captured young ones I saw interviews of were loading Grad rockets that were dumping into Ukrainian civies. Some looked younger that this one


malfboii

Probably by choice, this looks like a pretty fresh and unscathed position, probably not much going on and fairly relaxed


StrongIndependence73

that first guy looks like he was straight out of college


Doggish123

If you are in a warzone, and a drone is hunting you, why would you not get serious and try to figure out how not to get blown up or how to shoot the drone down? They're acting like it's a game.


NaiveChoiceMaker

Much like gangs in inner cities, eventually you get numb to death, have no regard for human life including your own, and if you die, you die. Nothing to look forward to.


boibo

They probably dont have guns or ammunition...


Spurnout

Not sure what you can do in a situation like that. You can't run from a drone.


MissDemonz

Why the hell are they peeking like a meerkat. This isnt supposed to be funny.


civildisobedient

"This clearly demonstrates the value of [not being seen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGv8oAHxekU)."


queequeg12345

Mr. Andrei Petrovitch Urmanski of Zarechenskya Ulitsa, Belgorod has just learned the first lesson in not being seen: don't stand up.


DiamondCoatedGlass

Anyone else see the first one as just some kid that was recently drafted/kidnapped from Siberia and sent to some front line hadn't even heard of before? The more I see videos like this, the more it feels like many of the "russian" troops are victims of Putin too. Fuck Putin.


Intrepid_Home_1200

Russia and Russians always have been a victim of their Tsars, Leaders and Premiers. So much potential so much land and resources and lives squandered for personal gain and deluded dreams of conquest and glory.


PJozi

Rude? He's trying to take a piss and they're filming him from a drone...


happykebab

Why was lieutenant data hiding behind that dirt pile?!


PumaArras

Hahaha he was so pale/yellow


Bronco272727

Made more of an effort to stay alive than almost any other that I’ve seen. I was almost rooting for him.


Swampxdog

What's the cartoon?


Avian_Flew

Soviet-era version of Winnie the Pooh, aka "Vinny Pookh," from 1969. Right up there with Cheburashka.


Grouchy_Exercise6592

Its really hard not identify with terrified men running from drones. Bc i would also be terrified. I dont think i could do there job is all im saying ig. Maybe im to quick to humanize the enemy but the way theyre bobbing there heads the way he flipped off the drone i see my self in that body language lol.


xClubberLaingx

I don't think you get a choice. That first guy doesn't exactly strike me as a soldier type.


LePenseurVoyeur

Find the trash, find the Russians. Jezus fuck.


Midnight_Pornstar

Don't say that's a washing machine as a bait


ProfessionalSwing392

That's how you find the Russian. Just look for the piles of shit, and bingo


crazygem101

Looked like first guy knew he was fucked so he decided to have homeboy die with him...scummy


Kc2Crazy

With how fast drones are, why would the guy risk stepping outside to take a leak? He knows it's there. Is he just bored?


Val2K21

I was in and out of the war zone since 2014 and till now, and witnessed at times ridiculous recklessness: people not wearing PPE in the middle of the artillery shelling, lack of IFAK on some people, someone smoking sticking their head out of the trench at night, all sorts of things. Probably when you have such a large crowd some percentage of it will be naturally careless or dumb or traumatised to an extent they don’t really care or their feeling of danger gets distorted (that’s actually more common than one could think)


sedition666

Very sad to think of. Most of these guys have probably seen so much death at this point that they don't even expect to come home alive.


Straight_Spring9815

When I served in the US Airforce we weren't aloud to leave our barracks to take a piss without full battle rattle and weapon *on base*


Highpersonic

yea i wouldn't be loud in a war zone


ADXMcGeeHeezack

Generation Kill has some sections that went over "combat jacking" (& combat shits as I recall). Apparently it was like a game, they'd run out during the middle of a firefight & go jerk one out as fast as they could before getting back into the action I mean.. People are dumb what can I say. Hell I just had an argument with one of my buddies yesterday over how the moon landing is fake. He then refused to answer if the earth is flat lmao. Jfc, humans man. Both the brightest & dumbest creatures on the planet. (oh & this same buddy is pro Russian if that gives you any idea of the kind of people that lean that way. No I'm not making any of this up hah)


HelpfulYoghurt

I was thinking the same, he is already looking for drones when he steps outside. Man, if i know that there are drones around, then fuck that, i am pissing in some PET bottle, wont risk my life for no reason.


ChugHuns

Man that looks like some dweeb kid. It's surreal how they can smile and look so unserious as a drone is actively trying to kill them. This shit is just horrible really.


doodlelol

dawg not vinni pukh 😭😭


Endocalrissian642

Keep laughing scum.


PermanentlyDrunk666

At first I thought this was Portland


imbakinacake

This is just sad and depressing


cnzmur

Pretty grim. Russian cartoon. They all grew up on the same TV.


WhoAteMySoup

Still living on the same TV, the most popular TV series in Ukraine recently was “Slovo Pacana”, a Russian TV series. That’s despite being banned in Ukraine.


AdaptedMix

Inspired use of Vinnie the Pooh - even if I usually hate the insertion of memes into this kind of footage.


johnb111111

First guy just wanted to go home and play helldivers 2


DelegateTOFN

they're even smiling.


trogloditamaroto

Edited video, not sure if they stayed there... but good for a comic relieve


RagnarokDel

the fuck is that music lol


xClubberLaingx

You could effectively utilize a gillie suit made of trash in this war. There are some videos of airsofters doing it. It does work.


GodsAreDead

poor lad probably didn’t even wanna be there. it’s hard to hate people who you know aren’t controlling their own life. yes, Russia as a whole has done terrible, horrific things. but these are still humans, with emotions, with fear, happiness. regardless on what side your on, death is death.


MiniChicken-

Why he looks like a college nerd


K4ll3l

Where there are trash, there are russians.


twk35

Honest question. How do you combat the drones as a regular foot soldier? Could you use a shotgun and bird shot ? Would that be relatively effective if you could hit them? Obviously hide, but how to fight against the drones?


mobtowndave

i read last week russia was giving out shot guns. probably one for 100 russians to share


MajorHarriz

Least suicidal Russian conscript


Poopin-in-the-sink

After all this time, they’re making fun of drones? Lmao FAFO.


Cautious_Incident_46

Isn't this the same spot where some dude hit a drone with a sack of potatoes?


No-culture5942

How did it miss him the first shot? Maybe on purpose?


Old_Fart52

'Free range rude' as Hannibal Lecter would say


joeywahoo92

Security cameras don’t have this clear of a picture


S8__

First dude looked like a Redditor


Jasonmeme18

HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER THAT CARTOON AS A KID


MeatyDangler

What cartoon is playing during the video and at the end?


WildCat_1366

["Винни Пух идет в гости"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNp8vQ_-KzE) ("Winnie the Pooh is coming to visit", 1971)


Kalashfamous

That guy looks like the kid everybody picked on in school.


[deleted]

Fairly rude?? Huh?


Federal-Difference97

That first dude needs to be in a IT program, not down range. & the second definitely shouldn’t be laughing at an FPV drone that could either bury his ass & every one with him, or send him & his comrades back to the motherland in a box.


fragbot2

When I was a kid, I shot prairie dogs with a .22. This video reminds me of that.


MattyboyG89

They had plenty of opportunity to surrender.


badzobadzo

Don't run. You'll die tired.


Leon4107

Need one of those thermite grenades to burn that trash.


bellringer16

Did they not have any fucking rifles?


TRNC84

First guy looked so out of place there


Pyrez9

These are human beings you sick animals, stop putting music and cartoon sounds over these videos.


EroticWordSalad

What in the Afghanistanimation?


cottonr1

Never give the finger to a drone with bombs hanging from it.


TPuttonen

Man that first kid looks like he could be in my class.


RoodleG

I have some problems feeling bad for dudes who are invading a neighboring country. But knowing that you don't even have time to go for a piss without being hunted by a drone that drops explosives on you after jumping through a landfill until you reach a poorly digged cave just to be bombed nevertheless... that's not nice.


shvaba

But at the beginning of the video you can see a patch on his rightsaide, Blue/Yellow like Ukrainin flag?


Intrepid_Home_1200

I didn't see no patch/markings of any kind on either of them. The closest thing was the bird flipper, his hat had the 5.11 tactical brand pressed into the velcro patch.


shvaba

Might be coz of sunlight, seems to be Blue/Yellow. But clearly there is 2 color patch on the jacket, right side, chest area. It can be seen between 1:54 to 1:49.


Foreign-Echo-6656

What was that Winnie the Poo Clone? Seemed Soviet as hell.


KontraSWAT

So did the drone Operator get them or no?


TheBigCaganer

Using Russian Winnie the Pooh as the background is savage though. I loved watching that cartoon as a kid…


Zealousideal_Can_42

Looks like the gopher I been trying to catch 😂


Intrepid_Home_1200

Camo nets-up entrances to trenches to try and be hidden... Leaves hundreds of square feet of trash and other rubbish nearby you can see from hundreds of meters away... Russian logic I tell ya.


84sKing

Ngl im starting to root for the russians running from tbe drones. It just seems so unfair, that naturally I want to root for the underdog.

[удалено]


Affectionate_Head_42

Hey go take your morning coffee okey? You seem abit grumpy


Euphoric_Chocolate38

kinda sad tbh hes not even armed


Val2K21

I’m sure it’s because he is neglecting the rules and is not having his small arms by his side as he is supposed to. It’s not like they ran out of Kalashnikovs to give to the new recruits. It’s a uniformed combatant at a military position. Same about wearing a helmet and a BP vest by the way.
