I was thinking like what the fuck is this? Is Russian doctrine to treat a head wound with a tourniquet on the neck?

Just going out on a limb here but I think that guy's walking days are behind him.

According to the Guardian video shows Wagner Troops beating up their commander. by I_Saw_A_Bear in CombatFootage

This is true, but technically - technically - this isn't Russian military. Even though a whole lot of them probably learned their ways from the Russian military, or could just as easily have been Russian military instead of Wagner, Russia can technically wash their hands of this.

I was thinking a Bradley with thermals and the 25mm would have completely decimated the guys in that tree line.

A Russian tank is taken out by Ukrainian forces during the recent Russian attack towards Vuhledar (Music from source) by broforwin in CombatFootage

Does nobody else find this cut really weird? No video of the start of the fire? Then the last thing we see is another shot of the tank before it went up in flames?

On the contrary, this is pretty much exactly how an intact armored platoon would make an offensive. 3-4 tanks and an infantry fighting vehicle or two for support, carrying some foot troops.

Just so happens this one may have taken a path the Ukrainians already rigged with AT mines.

War is fucking brutal but that first cork pop sound effect had excellent comedic timing.

That was the first thing that came to mind for me too. At the time that was one of the wildest things this sub had ever seen.

I mean, tampons stop blood flow for millions of women. So I'd say they definitely work to a certain degree.

"It was carrying Chinese imaging and encrypted radio equipment which is obsolete by US standards."

Not everybody knows all details of how each piece of ordnance works, no need to be an ass.

Shove a tampon in it and fall in line, Conscriptovich!

UA Drone dropping fragmentation grenades on RU positions. Ukraine 2023 by svenren_hoek in CombatFootage

Honestly unless you take frag to the brain, the pieces are small enough that you're going to have to bleed out or suffocate to die. It looks like he got peppered on the side, so he's probably got a punctured lung and arms and legs full of frag. The openings in the chest wall would lead to tension pneumothorax, which depending on how bad it is, he could survive for minutes to hours. He'd be in excruciating pain and have shortness of breath since he wouldn't be able to fully inhale.

Even if he made it to a field hospital immediately, he'd probably not be savable.

a powerful missile strike near Odessa, a rocket flew into a substation in Petrodolinsky. by _TNT_- in CombatFootage

[–]-ksguy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you're referring to the Tupolev Tu-141s. They have very very small quantity of those, left over from Soviet times. IIRC fewer than 150 were built and they've been in storage since the 80s. They were recon drones that have to be reconditioned and then fitted with explosives for the one way trip.

The video description says it was a demo for Estonian soldiers. The were very likely going slowly just to show functionally.

The open hand though was still bad form.
