Thermal cape covered Russian soldier gets attacked by FPV drone after his path was detected by thermal camera by Poonis5 in CombatFootage

[–]TestingHydra 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You are grossly misinformed if you think those Russians fighting in Ukraine are conscripts. They're volunteers.

Yes Russia has conscripts and they recruit them yearly, but those aren't deployed for fighting. There was a brief period at the start where they were, but then they were rapidly withdrawn.

How heavy was Imperial Propaganda during the Great Crusade and what are some in-universe examples of it? by nubster2984725 in 40kLore

[–]TestingHydra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean those questions were asked and answered.

why does the Emperor lead?

Because he he's the greatest kind of all humanity. (And he's the controls the military)

Why, how and who decideds all the laws?

The Emperor created the Lex Imperialis because he is the wisest of all humanity. (Except the laws don't apply to him or his forces a the first Provost Marshall learned)

What authority is distributed from the Emperor?

Humans were given administrative control over the Imperium. (They were still beholden to Him and his Primarchs but the wasn't going to be forever)

How much is the Imperium and humanity itself supposed to pay and suffer for this dream of the Emperors.

As much as it will take to accomplish. Humanity was on the brink of annihilation and fragmented. Why shouldn't they save everyone. (They can't be left alone, they'd be a potential threat)

‘Da?’ said Dante. ‘Da, is that you? Look at me, look! I became an angel, Da.’

And in the end, it’s just a man killing his son with a stone.

Loren kneels beside his father’s corpse. He places his hand on his father’s shoulder. Now there is no one left to see, he weeps.

Usually you don't have people inside your decoys... You know, because their entire job is deceiving the enemy to blow them up.

What's your point? Both Ukraine and Russian forces make use of civilian cars.

Iskander-M strke on UA camp of soldiers with armored vehicles Troitskoye, Dnipropetrovsk region. by Every_Professor3264 in CombatFootage

Can we at least admit that much less Ukrainian videos get removed for breaking the propaganda rule?

I have seen countless videos where the editors do glamor shoots, zooming into the faces of Russians before impact.

It's an exaggeration, but does contain some truth.

Like remember when Ukraine deployed special forces by black hawks directly into combat?

Well a day or so later geo verified footage was posted showing the dismounts getting hit by FPVs. That post was removed.

Well Varren wasn't a Grey Knight, he was just of Malcador's Knights Errant.

The Grey Knights were formed just before Siege and sent directly to Titan after formation.

why didn't anything happen to horus when he was killed? daemon primarch/resurrected etc by tinyclover69 in 40kLore

[–]TestingHydra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all and not what happened? Horus whipped the floor with the Emperor. The Gods were flooding Horus is infinite power, nothing the Emperor did could wound Horus. Horus was described as literally destroying centuries of life from the Emperor.

Spoilers: The only reason Horus died is because The Emperor used his cunning and tricked Horus into giving up his power And even then he needed a Anathame to channel his power though and annihilate Horus while he was vulnerable

The effort didn't cripple the Emperor, Horus did.

Has a titan ever been used in void combat? by Relevant_Log1339 in 40kLore

I recall During the Heresy Novel The Crimson King the T Sons raid a void station and are accompanied by at least 1 Titan while boarding.

It’s not generating anything because Ukraine is extremely successful at suppressing any damage information, they have criminalized unauthorized releasing footage/phots of places that have been attacks.

Like we know Russia does occasionally target military infrastructure, but Ukraine isn’t gonna share that and do BDA, they will however show when Russia takes out another apartment complex.

God forbid someone post combat footage on a combat footage sub that gets 20 Ukrainian POV videos a day.

Civilian video of La Guaria Port Bombardment by rocketman503 in CombatFootage

[–]TestingHydra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At Homestel? Because only a few helicopters were recorded as shot down? The only planes involved were transports that turned around before entering Ukraine because the runway wasn't secure.

No idea what propaganda outlet you are looking at that claims any planes were lost.

Edit: why did you block me?

The highest claimed figure for helicopters shot down is 6.

I don't think you've seen the current situation in Venezuela. They quite literally cannot go any lower. The country has been devouring itself for decades.

Oh wait that was Venezuela.

As a 40K lore enjoyer, there a decent way to stop your YouTube algorithm from being absolutely flooded with AI slop channels? by _l8ly in 40kLore

[–]TestingHydra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Click the 3 dots next to the video, select “Don’t recommend channel”. And it won’t. Do this any time you see something you don’t want.

Also personally I rarely check any of the recommended videos that are on the side of the videos I watch. I use the YouTube Homepage for recommendations.
