RAD!

this is first video I've seen from you ..I'm wondering what your other videos are like : ] If they are anything like this one that is super high quality i'm excited!

@@matrixfull This one is part of our Battle Map series. Here is the playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLwb1pjLd3hpLE1AUHhtgLVjW8CUh5mLZ2

@@BattleOrder What video editor do you use?

Very nice info, bless up ya self.

For anyone else how is as stupid as I am... KIA means "Killed in Action" And not the car....

@@mz00956 Fun fact - many russians who got government compensation for KIA relatives use those money to buy a car. So they became cars in a way, just mostly Ladas, not KIAs.

@@docmoreau7540 well I hope they use the Car to get the heck out of Russia

Damn dude, talk about a bad omen

It's probably been done for years, except before people were posting things to Facebook and KZfaq

yeah If you'd come at early days of KZfaq ..such things would seem silly and unimaginable..but look how normal that is now on KZfaq. KZfaq too like Tiktok has huge variety of content to offer..serious and silly.

Well, it's a good idea, if you can manage to record something significant, why not.

Better than a satellite on a cloudy day.

Chinese AI surveils TikTok.

The conflict is far from over. You’ll get your wish once the kinds of information you’re asking for are declassified for OSINT analysts & KZfaqrs

Look up willy beating cancer he just interviewed an American that fought with Azov

Not alot of detail for what this video is making, but ok.

There's a good documentary called "93 the Battle for Ukraine the story of the 93rd Brigade Kholodny Yar"

detailed documents with real and accurate information do not come by instantly in real time. it sometimes took decades after ww2 to uncover accurate info for historians and such. though the use of spy satellites and people recording things and uploading them into internet in this war is pretty real-time and open source, so this war might be an exception.

Imagine selling 80% of your Diesel to locals to buy food and body armor.

Talk about adding insult to injury; it's _Russian_ troops running out of fuel, when the rest of the world refuses to buy _their_ country's oil.

@Siathuan ya that's not even close to the truth. The world doesn't evolve around the United States and Europe bro. The majority of the world still buy from Russia . Lay off the propaganda bro

Imagine getting smoked by a tank of your company

​@@Siathuanbut secretly they do lol

I've covered the 1st GTA a little bit via the original short loss video in the first couple of weeks and the T-80 video, with the emphasis being on the 4th Guards Tank Division. It's a little harder to keep track of a unit that big though after they withdrew from the Sumy area and got all mixed up near Izyum. Probably won't cover the 1st GTA since it's what everyone is talking about but could do something else of the sort

@@BattleOrder Ah thank for the reply. Love the vids man o7.

@@BattleOrder You could perhaps make something about some of the elite Ukrainian units, like the 1st and 3rd Armored, 93rd Mechanized or 128th Mountain Assault, if you feel like it?

Possibly, although the Ukrainians have done a better job of concealing where specific units are at any given time from the public lol

@@BattleOrder Helo! Keep your good work!

Thanks mate!

I'm not an expert on the situation in 2014 so I couldn't say for certain but I believe around the time the 200th brigade was operating around Luhansk the 93rd Brigade was about 180km to the west fighting at Donetsk airport

@@militaristaustrian Ukraine is on its home turf. They’re calling the shots. Once the Russians go for round 2, the Ukrainians will be better equipped, and more experienced. Meanwhile the Russians will have to resort to driving on roads, thus recreating the defeat in Kiev

I am from Kyiv and it was crystal clear Donbas was occupied by russians since 2014. there was plenty of evidence, they spoke with russian accents, used russian dialect words that no one uses in Ukraine even in the east and many of this russians went back to russa in bodybags but their relatives were forbidden to talk about that.

That’s quite understandable. It’s a typical mindset of tiny countries towards their much larger neighbours.

@@tamerlane7 That depends entirely of the behaviour of said larger neighbour.

That global hawk flight on the border was pretty eye-opening...US had full awareness of their intent.

Not very much actually

Fully agreed. Very impressive open source work indeed!! The end result of combining maps and videos was equally impressive.

can somebody explain why it's so hard to capture kharkiv?

Bakhmut is showing the opposite huh

@@potatokato-chan3399 That Bakhmut that holds firm for 10 months already? That Bakhmut that cost Rasshists 20 000 KIA and 100 000 WIA in the last 5 months of fighting? That Bakhmut that was supposed to be in Russian hands for like 100 times up to this moment? Cute.

Always has been.

You've only now realized this?

@@Tom_Cruise_Missile yes because I expected Russia to gain at least air superiority but NO they didn't

@RAD the rolf I don't think any air force in the world has encountered the sort of air defense that the Russian Aviation Forces encountered in Ukraine. When you look at both Ukraine and Russia in terms of plane tally then it seems very weird that they aren't controlling the skies. But if you took into account S-300 batteries, SPAAs, MANPADS (the things that inflicted the most casualties on Russian airpower) then it suddenly makes sense. Ukraine is littered with the stuff, as the Soviets had (and the Russians still do arguably) the largest and most capable air defense forces in the world, as a counter to the USAF. Plus, the Russian Aviation Forces are not the USAF and never were, as it was never Soviet or Russian doctrine to overwhelm the enemy with airpower since in a confrontation with NATO they would inevitably get crushed in the air. So it's a matter of an average air force taking on a pretty good air defense network.

@@buckplug2423 US has dealt with Soviet style Air defense in Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Libya

Yeah seriously, this is like something I'd see aired on DW!

Aye. Kill 'em all, let God sort them out.

The whole world owe Ukrainian for their efforts to stop putler and ruzzie

You are really welcome to ukraine as tourist,, you can go even now if few hours a day without electricity is ok for you)

Not just them but the 1st Guards Tank army. This unit was supposed to take on NATO's armor in a possible war and they've been destroyed and reconstituted twice over in this war.

It would have to be rebuilt from the ground up. Hopefully with a new, more positive mindset this time.

They don't even have one now, I doubt it'll improve by wars end.

@@Foreign0817 with so much corruption, it would make little to no difference whatsoever

If there smart, they’ll go for a all-professional force. Too bad they’re still thinking like it’s 1942 again……

The Russian military needs to westernize their military. Make the military smaller, more technologically advanced capabilities across all units, and comprised of all professionals. Sell off or just forget about that old Soviet stuff, save themselves the money. Stop it with the stupid nuclear weapons upgrades like Poseidon, having functional nuclear missiles and ballistic missile subs is enough.

Thanks mate

One of history's constants is paratroopers being pressed into line infantry roles because bodies are more important than the next special op

@@BattleOrder random side track. As I speak (and read way to many) Russian, I stumbled upon a note telling that certain amount of “mobilized” conscripts are set to be in “spetsnaz”. I am pretty sure they don’t have enough “experienced” conscripts to be there… is it possible? Or Spetsnaz in this case an euphemism for “storm troops” (cannon meat)?

@@Casyfill Depends on the type of Spetsnaz, because it's just a generic term for special troops (not the same as US SOCOM). In the army and VDV normal Spetsnaz units are typically special reconnaissance units that are meant to support the maneuver command but in this war have been used as line infantry, presumably because they lacked sufficient infantry to not to. Their doctrinal mission is somewhat special but the troops aren't necessarily special forces quality in the western sense

Ditto, id like to understand how the VDV failed to capture Hostemel and what was going through Russias mind at that time. DId they really think this would be a repeat of 2014? now they are high tailing their way out of Ukraine. Such a disgrace for an army who used to be regarded as second best in the world.

@@GrimYak if the reports of downed IL76s are true, I presume that that definitely had something to do with it.

Don't bring your blood god into this, your god caused this war. Ukraine deserves all the credit not your god

They need to learn cooperation goes both ways.

The last Russins who knew they had to coexist with neighbors died when Ivan Grozny sacked Novgorod and destroyed last remnants of freedom in the country.

@@Foreign0817 What do the Russians offer?

@@marrs1013 In the future, hopefully tech and supply. Think the relationship the US has with other nations. Hell, criticize the military industrial complex if you must, but you can't deny we've sold very well to other nations.

@@Foreign0817 How about democracy? Economic growt? Equality? Russia has none of it with the current leadership. Just look at Belarus. Who wants to end up like that? How many decades will it take for Russia to catch up with the Wests technilogical advantage? How many decades of corruption and stagnation a country has to endure under Russia, to get to this promised land?

@@basharalassad1073 cope

Depends on conflict you (may) fight. Brigade are more flexible formations compared to division (and regiments) in general, but on other hand, any casualties will hit brigade harder, compared to division. Personally, I think both should be combined and used. Relatively flexible and stronger combined arms brigades, combined with other support elements to form division (if there is need for one).

@@aleksaradojicic8114 so like a division of you are in a fixed fighting force, and a brigade for more fluid units like motorized infantry as it is flexible

@@quinlanels8503 Yes and no. It depends on divisional organisation, but changing of brigades between divisions or separation of brigades to do something alone is not unheard thing. But yes. Keeping brigades that spent a lot of time in one division, trained togheter and worked togheter can improve fighting strenght of that division. So no, type of formation (motorized infantry, armored and others) is not as so much important when you talk about division or brigade. For example, Yugoslavia during 1970s and 1980s decideth to move away from divisions towards brigades, because brigades were seen as faster to mobilize and move out of barracks compared to divisions (this was big issue during 1968 large manouveres started as response to Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia).

neeh......norway are very happy the russian artic brigade are buried in Ukraine

I'm your neighbor from Iceland and we have no army but I still have empathy for these regular guys who are my age. I respect all soldiers who serve their country with honor and integrity. Have a good one, cousin.

And not an isolated occurrence, either. The VDV got completely creamed, as the did the Marines and even the famed Guards Armored units.

They had bad intel, little suport. Interviews with russian prisoners pointed out that many of them had stuff taken away from them before the invasion (rifle optics, NVG's).

most of the families must've been told that their sons are MIA since the russian government doesn't seem to bother repaying their lost sons

Most of them didn't even have red dot sights. Idk if any of you have ever tried being in a gunfight or training CQB, hell even in airsoft. The first thing you learn is: Without a red dot, you can't aim if you're being fired upon. It's basically impossible.

@@Killerpixel11 I would say their Marines are the only ones who have performed at least somewhat well.

There is zero evidence in the video that the brigade was destroyed or even rendered combat ineffective. There is not even an attempt to estimate what percentage of manpower and equipment was lost. What we know that it participated in clashes with Ukrainian forces near Kharkov and suffered some losses. The rest is propaganda and wishful thinking.

@@ayrnovem9028 I see you are capable of copy and pasting your 1 comment. Pretty high IQ for a Mongoloid-Tatar orc

Propaganda

Because you, probably just like me, grew up watching the Soviet 1st of may parades. Thinking ''how are we ever going to defeat such an arrmy'' . But you know what, those parades aren't mend to impress us, it's to keep their own population afraid.

@@rockfella1377 Yeah. It reminds me of how Hitler claimed to have far more aircraft than he actually did. Of course this backfired because Britain panicked and bumped up airforce spending in response.

@@sharwama992 Interesting revelations. What else you can tell us about yourself?

Of course, in Russia there are really combat-ready units, the GRU, Special Forces, but this is a meager percentage of all the armed forces.

Lots of cope. It's easy when they start the Op with 3:1 manpower disadvantage to then claim, that your side is smarter and nimbler. LOL. Winter is almost here ;)

@@maeton-gaming 3 to 1 advantage my nether region! The Ukrainians were outgunned from the first day but they intelligently used what they had.The facts prove the case. The Russians were destroyed around Kyiv, then around Kharkiv, then Snake Island and they're now in the process of being destroyed wherever they're encountered. They went into the people's country like they owned it and are now afraid to even poke a head out of a trench.

@@maeton-gaming lol in what way do you think winter will help katsap cannon fodder in Ukraine? They are already under supplied, do you think they will just magically not freeze because they are ruskies?
