A video of Finnish volunteers fighting in Ukraine.
This is what your first combat mission would probably look like.
Really captures the SNAFU of the situation. Especially what the combat stress does to your thinking. You have weapon systems which you have not been trained to use. Any plan you had goes out of the window immediately. Your squadmate gets hit within first couple of minutes and your car gets destroyed.
Yeah... forget all those dreams about high-speed-low-drag operational operating.
Once your adrenaline and stress hormone levels peak, all sensible thinking goes out of the window. Even if you are decently military trained soldier, you suddenly can't think straight. You literally can't talk straight but rather communicate on a vocabulary level of Gorilla's "boots-and-banana". You can't even find your way out of farmstead courtyard. You try to blow up a hole into a corrigated steel fence. And most of your time you just end up wandering around trying to find some medivac for your downed pal (who, despite being hit in the sole of his feet, is certain he is going to die). And in the end, you didn't really achieve shit.
This is why previous combat experience is so important and why it makes such a difference. Why rookies get wasted so often. You have to be able to keep your head cool.
Adrenalin is a hell of a drug.
Not like dis, you idiots! 😀
t, Ltn. Spurdo
They just need more pervitin.
looks fun, frick why didnt I volunteer last february, new they require previous combat experience.
Every homosexual always says this. It was the same with fighting ISIS in the 2010s. “I would’ve gone but”
NTA I have a pretty good job and recently bought a house. There's part of me that sometimes wishes I'd done something crazy like that when I was younger, but it would have been stupid. I was in the US Army for a few years with a medical MOS and helped patch up guys that got fricked up by IEDs. It's not really worth risking a good life for unless it's for a cause you really believe in or something you want to do deep down. Dropping everything and fighting in a conflict that doesn't threaten your own family and where you probably won't be reimbursed well or have medical covered isn't exactly smart. But for some people it may be worth it because they've got a certain mindset where they would rather do that then live a normal life.
Not him either, but my skillset doesn't line up with their current needs. If they ever get to the point where they can make use of a civilian fixed-wing pilot with no military background I'll definitely look into doing it, especially because I've almost got Ukrainian background. (Just over the border into Slovakia but we're part of a group that's on both sides of the border and my mom's family church was half Ukrainians and stuff.)
They require combat experience for combat roles. You can always go there to be a mechanic, doctor, engineer, construction worker, electrician or even a warehouse guard.
I can do that at home, make money and donate to the war effort instead?
Yeah but then you don't get to wear a hat that says "Veteran" on it
>mechanic,
ngl working on tanks sounds like a lot more fun than working on diggers and bulldozers
It's quite similar so if you're already a pro at that most tank systems and especially tank recovery systems will be familiar. You could for example work on repair crews turning damaged equipment to service. I assume you weld and can run a cutting torch etc.
I'm a cripple or I'd gleefully go to support their aircraft maintenance or work on any ground system.
>do your day job but in a second world country, with no salary and you pay your own expenses
Hard pass
You do get paid. It's not a lot, but cost of living in Ukraine is low.
Also
>get to be part of history
>get to do your day job while carrying a gun and in full LARP gear
Sounds pretty comfy tbh
What stops you from applying anyways?
You have to proove previous combat experience.
>looks fun XDDD
said the autistic underage moron on a finger painting forum
Realistically if you show up in Ukraine, learn a bit of the language, make friends with people with military connections, and just generally put in a bit of effort, you'll find a way to enlist. Everything is so ad hoc that if you're a warm body who shows initiative somebody will be happy to have you.
>somebody will be happy to have you
Until you start throwing up from stress and have to be evac'd.
How is that any different from the 45-year-old civvies they're drafting? If you're a fat, mentally ill hypochondriac moron, yeah, don't go, but the average young man is about the same quality as what they're pulling off the streets. Really the main barrier by far for foreigners is that they don't speak Ukrainian or Russian.
Those people are fighting in and for their homeland, so even if they're moronic, they have something somewhat tangible motivating them. A pussy foreigner whose mentality is that it "looks fun" could end up being more of an annoyance.
>this guy is willing to die for my homeland/at least in my homeland fighting with me against our enemy
Seems like the bar, man
Who cares *why*
The why is not exactly the point. If the person was actually a killing machine terminator in it for the fun, sure, but I highly doubt that. You'll just get there, realize things aren't as cool and bad ass as they seemed, cry like a little b***h and cause issues for your mates.
You're right
Okay, well, tangibly motivate in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first. Honestly it means frick-all, fighting for a cause you believe in won't stop you panicking when everything around you starts exploding. But yes I would not recommending coming with unrealistic expectations.
>they have something somewhat tangible motivating them
Wrong, you only need military experience to join. You can show up on the Legion border box (Yes literally a box) at the polish border and if you arent a completely autistic moron and can speak english, they take you. They have three units, one support, one unit for people with military experience and the special forces wing under the command of GUR which doing recon.
If you dont have real combat experience like 99,99% percent of ex-soldier have, you will put into the second unit. This unit dont see so much action like the third but still doing stuff. The sf unit directly recruits from the second unit if they need people. So everyone want of course to get into the third
Some people said they now start to train the new people with military exp a few weeks but Idk we have zero information and most of it is just "x said"
Applying in the US at UA consulates always required combat experience.
Btw this is the box at Medyka
nice suicide booth
They always required proof of combat experience at least for Americans. When I applied even as former infantry they rejected me since by the time I was in the closest I got to deployments was fricking around in Lithuania.
Applying to the Embassy was your first mistake, try the border
Probably for a reason.
According to the guy who made the video in the OP, nationality rankings
>A
Finns, Americans with military experience, Chechs, latin americans (brazilians and columbians), Scots.
>B
Poles, Brits, Canucks
>C
French, Taiwanese, Japs, Yanks without army experience, Irish, Romanians, Bulgarians
>D
Germans, ex-Comblock, Chechens
>F
Swedes
What makes finns desirable?
T. Finnish reservist
apparently the quality of our conscript training
I wouldn't be bragging about conscript training after watching that video lol
War tourists hardly are the best of the best but at least all finns are already trained to kill russians
I wasn't bragging, I was answering the question with the answer I keep hearing from non-Finns, as for what happens on the video, first time in combat, in a unit that is very different from what they are used to & doing things they almost certainly didn't train for. The owner of the YT channel is an armoured jäger working as a sniper/spotter for a captured heavy MG, with none of the supporting elements he'd have in a Finnish mechanized battle group, it's going to take some time for him to adjust.
Apparently the Finnish training is very suitable to Ukrainian environment; more suitable than the training Ukraininans have had.
Good skills in camouflage, fighting positions, small unit tactics, spreading etc. Also good morale.
Yanks are used to air superiority, but actually know how to deal in combat situations (if military experience) and know how to keep their cool.
Yanks without combat experience seem to enjoy war crimes too much and have too short a temper.
What surprised me is how highly he rated latinos.
>Yanks without combat experience seem to enjoy war crimes too much
kek
>What surprised me is how highly he rated latinos.
Brazilians are the strongest race, for real though, our infantry training is good, specially for units like the Jungle warriors and caatinga.
>those punisher tats
Brazilian military dude-bros are just like ours it seems.
I wasn't expecting Brazilians to be bad, but A-tier was a surprise. Honestly, I would have expected C, for volunteers at least.
>What surprised me is how highly he rated latinos.
Doesn't shock me that much if they're ones with military experience, they'd be used to working with limited resources, a lot have actual combat experience against cartels/commie rebels/etc., and I could see how jungle experience might be useful in the warmer seasons in Ukraine judging by all the overgrowth I've seen in videos. Also, a lot might be pretty motivated because the Russians fricked with LatAm a ton during the cold war and a lot of people lost family/friends to commie rebels and stuff, actually one of my best friends is a Salvadorean guy whose family was middle/upper class down there until the commies murdered his dad and his mom fled the country with him.
I can see why Americans, Europeans or Brits would volunteer. Even Taiwan/SK/Japan makes a bit of sense.
But why would Latinoamericans volunteer to fight for Ukraine? I thought they were at least on neutral terms with Russia.
Literally what he said, to kill commies or just because they like combat in general.
Some people just like to fight
Like I said, lots of people with grudges against the Russians. Everybody in the West these days is all about guilt tripping Europe over colonialism and America over CIA bullshit in LatAm but the Soviets were just as bad, even worse in some places and people from that part of the world know about it.
A Finn made that list
autism.
Also, even if some the Finns are psychos, they at least follow orders and stay awake during guard duty, unlike some of the others.
Nobody asked him. If I had to guess, it's because none of the French with actual experience volunteered.
unironically how aggressively autistic you lot are helps for combat
>swedes at the bottom in their own category
I don't know if this listing is real but it's certainly something a finn would say.
I remember that post, i think he put Swedes in the shit-tier because literally every single one of them was either a junkie, mentally deranged, or mentally moronic.
Where was it posted? Twitter?
Ylilauta, of course.
interedasting
We associate swedes with bottoms

>Tattoo'd the black sun and 14 meme words to his chest
Some of the other Swedes he met seemed to be either frick-ups or suck-ups
'd the black sun and 14 meme words to his chest
lmao
Lindybeige interviewed a bloke who met a swede down there who claimed to be some elite special forces, but couldn't even find kindling in a forest.
Also, what makes Germans rank so low?
According to the volunteer they were all nazis, but so were some of the other volunteers.
He stayed calm and did the best he could with what he was given, at least.
The other guy panicked, but followed orders.
My friend never mentioned he got any hate but they where a few germans and austrian in the beginning who really where shitheads. Like those two east german subhumans who got pick up by the Georgian Legion and thought it was a good idea to party the entire first night. Got kicked out in the next day lol or this austrian boomer ranting on some media news outlet about the legion is just here for human waves tactics
>https://www.businessinsider.com/they-went-to-ukraine-to-be-war-heroes-and-fight-russians-2022-4
Probably proximity to Ukraine plays a role, in Germany even a crackhead can drive to Ukraine while Burgers Inbreds get filtered at the airport & airlines prices
wild story
imagine smoking your pot, getting told by a sf officer to stop twice and answering
>i dont want that
What makes the French mediocre? I'd think with their deployments they would have valuable experience and training
>>A
>Finns,
>Winter war larpers with generations of 0 combat experience actually believe this
the rules for Americans may be a bit different than for Europeans as Europeans can pretty much just travel to the Ukrainian border using money found under couch cushions while majority of Americans (especially Americans showing up at the Ukrainian embassy/consulate in the States to volunteer-) would need plane tickets to get to Ukraine, so Ukrainians probably want to make sure any Americans they get tickets to/get put on an American military transport to Europe are worth the cost.
>Europeans can pretty much just travel to the Ukrainian border using money found under couch cushions
Flixbus to Przemyśl from Frankfurt cost around $80 so yeah its pretty cheap. Or with luck a polish truck driver take you along when he drives leaveand from Germany on the Weekend (Warsaw to Przemyśl cost around $25)
Damn, that really sucks.
I wish I had military experience.
Go enlist then, moron
I want to fight in Ukraine, not sweep dirt and listen to SHARP lectures.
Join the FFL instead but you won't, larper.
if we are lucky this war will escalate all over europe again
Imagine getting shot in the ball of your foot. frick that must hurt.
>the ball of your foot
Do you mean a heel?
>Do you mean a heel?
Why would he go to war with it?! I know he’s finnish but come on...
Nope, the "ball" refers to the part just distal from the arch. The underside of the "knuckle" of your big toe
But the heel would hurt even more I imagine. IDK, I havent watched the video cuz I'm in public
You must be at least 18 to post here.
The ball of your foot is the distal ends of your metatarsals, the big bulgy pad just where your toes connect to the foot
finnish catboys dont belong in the front
Official Kake Randelin soundtrack of this thread
bless fins and their musical autism
Man, he should have gone back for the CD.
I thought they were gonna bump that shit while 4x'ing through the forest taking and laying down heavy fire
Also lol'd at

Lmao
They do seem like catboys wtf when the american comes he sounds so much more authoritative even though he is also having a bad time
"PLANT THAT FRICKIN FOOT"
Meanwhile spurdos were just dragging the guy around
I can't fault them it is just funny
>man recently under fire by a 30mm cannon for the first time in his life needed two minutes to himself
haha yeah what a loser
I'm not gonna pretend to be some internet tough guy, and i dont think you can really properly prepare yourself for what they went through without experiencing something similar yourself, but the man filming was needed to help and failed to do anything at that moment, and from the footage didn't even try to use that sniper. was wild to me how he bothered to slowly pack it up
Yeah, that's the point of how stress can affect decision making.
I guess he could've been a lot worse though? Maybe next time he'll be more directed and executive.
Oh yeah, he could have done much worse and probably did do progressively better. Meatsack chemicals is a frick
>"im gonna try to clear a path"
>randomly walks away
>moves nothing
>softly brushes hands free of dirty dirt
>mosies around the compound
>eventually makes it back to bro and makes him fricking monkeybar through the shed
yeah I noticed that as well, I am chalking that up to inexperience (then again my reserve unit is full of boomers who when someone gets chosen as wounded by the referees manhandle the "casualty" so roughly that said casualty might need real medical treatment afterwards (as in, get "wounded on a landing between two floors in a stairwell? The guy behind you grabs you by the collar and almost throws you downstairs to get you out of line of fire & the next guy almost reaches for his combat knife to rip your clothes open" -rough)...
>They do seem like catboys wtf when the american comes he sounds so much more authoritative even though he is also having a bad time
That's because Muricans been fightin' since 1776 boy, Murica. Back to back World War champs.
>7:25
>"Jabroni"
What is this Jabroni? You hear it in all these volunteer videos
Only heard it in one other video and there it was some guy's callsign.
It’s New York/Jersey slang. Like a less vulgar word for dickhead or jackass
>What is this Jabroni?
it's a term for a man that walks into a gym while being dressed like he was meaning to go to the leather club 2 blocks down
Frick you!
I like your style, kid. You work for me now
Its a made up cuss word invented by the WWE
jabroni (plural jabronis)
(professional wrestling slang) a performer whose primary role is to lose to established talent.
Synonym: jobber
Iron Sheik used the term first, and was part of his lexicon. To him a “jabroni” was a “jobber,” or “enhancement talent.”
Might actually be referring to the same guy.
Mentions this was in September (during the Kharkiv offensive) and they mention Kupiansk at 7:16, so this was likely during the press to Kupiansk after the ru lines at Balakliia/Chkalovske collapsed. The CivDiv video was in Petropavlivka, not far from Kupiansk, and was reclaimed in early October. Likely he was part of both phases of the Kharkiv offensive.
This guy also posted greentext story in ylilauta about the firefight that will happen in CivDiv's next video back in autumn. I couldnt find it now, but the spetznaz will get slaughtered to a man for 1 dead ukr squadleader, 1 gravely wounded foreign volunteer and multiple lightly wounded. (If this is the same firefight that is),
>The CivDiv video was in Petropavlivka
I had fun finding that on a map, since there is a dozen places named that in Ukraine and like three different ones in Kharkiv Oblast of which 2 where liberated during the counter offensive.
It's a pro wrestling term used as a synonym for "jobber," which is a wrestler who frequently loses to make his opponents look better. Often used backstage by wrestlers in the WWF, WCW, and ECW, but it really took off for the public when the Iron Sheik and The Rock used it in their promos and insults.
>has never seen jersey shore
Consider yourself lucky.
>You keep using this word, Jabroni... And it's awesome.
This is why you drive Toyota
But honestly many in their shoes would shit their pants and fricking do dumb shit.
Obviously pros.
Obviously one of this guys first missions in Ukr. If not THE first.
Literally their first ever combat mission.
>first combat mission
>spend the car ride over talking about how you and everybody else will die
is that just how the Finnish make smalltalk
I mean, better to be a realist and a bit afraid than expect call of duty and die. Guys went against a BMP-2 with a Kord and some luck.
>with a Kord and some luck.
Not to mention they hadn't been trained how to use the Kord.
It was a Russian capture and the machine gunner learned how to use it during the ride over.
I'm pretty sure Kord isn't (at least mechanically-) that different from NSV, which Finnish infantry are supposed to be trained on
Like playing paintball with a bunch of rental kids. Oof.
damn getting shot must really hurt for regular people, that was only in the foot as well, imagine copping 12.7mm straight in the chest or something.
If you get a .50 in your chest your problems are over pretty quick. Getting one in your thigh is where the nightmares stop and refuel.
Imagine being shot in the groin or femur area, on a battlefield that’s far from emergency medical facilities, and everyone’s busy trying to secure the area. Is this when morphine cones in handy?
I am not sure actually. The pain is going to be intense but there are good chances of massive bleedings and if you get morphine it's not going to help your heart keep beating.
No this is when you die. If your hit in the femur you bleed out so fast that you wouldn't even be able to cry for your mommy.
Look at this guy still living in 1900. Splints and tourniquets are common first aid equipment dummy. they made robbie jones a major general over this.
>apply tourniquet to pelvic would
Yes.
Do vatniks really not know about junctional tourniquets?
They literally don't.
CAT tourniquets, SAM junctional tourniquets, abdominal trauma bandages, frameless stretchers, burn dressing bandages and soft braces are all alien magic.
Picrelated is the peak of vatnik medical technology.
Picrel can actually work surprisingly well as a junctional tq if you know how to use it. That is literally the only thing it's good for.
even then, it doesn't have the inflatey bits that SAM tourniquets do
>Do vatniks really not know about junctional tourniquets?
I guess they don't receive any training because Russian leadership is paranoid about the slaves acquiring proper combat experience and actually prefer high casualties
>prefer high casualties
Pretty high IQ 4D chess move. If your soldiers die you don't have to pay them a pension
No, if your soldiers die you don't have to fear them overthrowing you.
>Because real tourniquets are valuable! In fact, they are worth a lot more than you are!
A pelvic splint may significantly reduce blood loss
If your femoral artery is cut you’re fricking unconscious in a minute and dead by two unless your medic dabbles in trauma surgery and can close it and stabilize you in that one to two minute window.
I'm pretty sure a 12.7mm to the chest wouldn't hurt at all, actually
I think lower chest area would hurt for a few seconds maybe, I remember seeing a video of some isis guy getting hit in the back while running away and he drops in front of the camera making this horrible gurgling sound like he's trying to scream but his lungs are filling up with blood.
Chance are he's not conscious. Catastrophic loss of blood pressure like that should turns your lights out and after that it's just your unconscious systems trying to keep your body going despite the massive traumatic injury
Made a BMP shit itself & retreat by peppering it with .50cal MG-fire and successfully evacced the wounded gunner. Not great, not terrible.
Im just suprised that they didnt find better cover. MG nests are always bullet sponges. Get some binoculars if you are going to be spotting, not a narrow FOV scope. Also maybe park the truck out of view in a courtyard and not just in the middle of the road.
Not gonna lie. That half hour was more hairraising than anything Hollywood has served me the last few years.
>guy constantly crying about how hes gonna die
I get that ive never been shot and i cant really complain, and yeah its understandable when its a fresh wound and youre still under fire to panic. But this dude is legit panicking about how he's gonna die from a gunshot wound to his foot after he's seen a medic, gotten multiple CATs applied, is no longer being shot at and is on his way to medevac.
He came for glory and cred and realized pretty quick that Russia is going to win this shit and his sacrifice is in vain. He thought he does of shame.
If you're so sure you're winning Vatnik, why don't you join up?
Because he's most likely a pasty white kid in some American suburb.
lmao is that tweet real
Not sure about that particular tweet, but yes there were quite a few in the same vein
https://twitter.com/mazzenilsson/status/1533722302000529408
jesus christ look at the homosexualry in the comments
lolno, dream on vatnik. If Russia "wins", by holding on to some piece of land, It will have paid for it by killing off hundreds of thousands of it's own people. Add to that the brain drain and lost revenue from lost trade / foreign companies and it's a net loss. Shilling for authoritarian shitholes is not cool anon.
Tbh if they empty out their prisons in the process it might be worth it unironically. We should have Blackwater (or whatever their latest name is) give the same deal as Wagner to US prisoners, survive 6 months (while we try and get you killed) and you go free.
>We should have Blackwater (or whatever their latest name is) give the same deal as Wagner to US prisoners, survive 6 months (while we try and get you killed) and you go free.
>in 2010s Blackwater recruits Mexicans doing time for heroin trafficking and sends them to Afghanistan as "security consultants"
>they get tasked with providing security while ANA burns poppy crops
yeah, that would have turned out REAL well
Wouldn't work with Blackwater, they're too well-coordinated and equipped, so too many will survive 6 months, and we'll have a bunch of felons on the streets AKA the whole country will be like a blue state.
I've somewhat been in his shoes (broken shoulder out ATVing, 2hr drive from help).
When you've gotten fricked up and are momentarily safe but still in danger and a long way from help most of the thoughts coming to mind are nothing good. He wasn't good but did okay.
I mean in a rapidly moving war movement is key to survival. The BMP could wreck that entire squads day and with no way to run he'll be stuck there for the ruskies to cap him.
Now imagine how a mobnik would feel
They have nothing to live for, so.
he was more worried about being immobilized, he states at one point (i cant go on i need feet), hes wounded underfire and considering he might be abandoned because his comrades cant carry them or will be killed with him. his response is completely reasonable
>This is what your first combat mission would probably look like.
lolno, for me it's my little drony or nothing, I ain't going in blind like a moron when the technology to see where every enemy soldier is and strike from a safe distance exists.
You saw the landscape. All those little gardens and houses, and snipers and machineguns and tanks strewn around it. How much would you trust your drone to give you a safe route? Does it see through walls?
As someone with a little reconnaissance experience, my first thought when putting on this video was how they were being lazy by staying in the vehicle during downtime. Better to stay alert outside and maintain your combat readiness until you are ready to move.
>Noooo my nissan, I still haven't paid for it
Brought his own vehicle to war kek, probably caught fire just from idling
as funny as it is to laugh at these dudes i know i would freeze in combat so i shouldnt say anything
The driver yelling "SHIT, FRICK" while trying to manuveur the pick up truck out of that small path made me laugh, this war is really tragicomic
"Frick me dead, this is the same engagement as in this video"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpx7TWc58PI
In this video you see them take out the BMP. It's just from another point of view. That's the same building.
>Did it hit?
>Yeah
>YEEEAAAAAH! b***hEEES! FRICKING b***hEES!!!!
Kek
I think the same pickup that ressuplies these guys' rockets picks up the wounded dude in OP, same colour and a yellow generator in the back
Both have the same yellow 9 on the Window.
I guess they put all the foreigners in the same frontline segment. Interesting.
>NLAW manages a mobility kill on a fricking uparmored BMP
>morons waste 3 more RPG's trying to hit it

This was 10000x better than civdivs videos..
And holy shit there are so many English speaking volunteers in Ukraine.
What do you homosexuals have against CivDiv?
he's a manlet. you know how they can be.
she is a attention wore
they're in an actual honest-to-god war, i think they're allowed to be one.
All of his "combat footage" is pretty boring. Mostly just running with maybe some shell impacts off in the distance. Not really what most would think of as combat footage, however he advertises it as such. He's also said pretty publicly that he started doing military volunteer work as a way to satisfy his ego and won't be fighting in Ukraine anymore because he doesn't like getting shelled. Personally I don't fault him for not wanting to die to a shell because a corrupt or inept commander put him in a really dumb place. I do however think his videos are pretty much mostly click bait.
he got blood on his hands and now weasels out because he can do it as foreigner.
Really hope they revoke his citizenship, no state should tolerate murder tourism
It's not murder when it's against russians
>murder tourism
lol
in germany if you volunteer for a foreign army without individual consent of the defense ministry you can piss your citizenship goodby forever.
>but why
a lot of bored ww2 veterans went to afrika to satisfy their blood thirst
he fired the nlaw that got first hit
>he fired the nlaw
Nah, he just posted the video. It was one of his buddies iirc. He's using any revenue from the video to help with the recovery of the POV guy and his team leader who were injured in the as of yet unreleased conclusion.
oh spicy
those fricks deserve death 1000x more than any drafted in this shithole
>those fricks deserve death
why
>go to a conflict that has nothing to do with you for the sole reason of killing
why should they deserve a kinder fate than they wish upon others
>defending an independent country's sovereignty is not a good reason to fight for
have a nice day you non western cuck.
did you miss where he cucked out
he obviously cares jack shit about ukrains sovereignty
it's clearly a vatBlack person mad people are standing up against gulaghomo
>sole reason of killing
Is that how deep your thought process is? Some people fight for ideas. If they just wanted to kill they'd probably go to the phillipines or some shit, pay a fat bribe and kill some drug addicts, not risk their life and limb to maybe even see a russian in their sights let alone kill one.
are you lacking reading comprehension? the guy cucked out, that is some strong resolve for this ideas.
Pretty obvious in it for the larp, not to see it through
He's back in Ukraine so you've already been debunked. You can't expect a foreign volunteer to fight for as long as needed unless they are fanatical about their conviction. Hell, you can't even expect a Ukrainian citizen to fight for as long as needed.
Killing Russians defends civilization which they subvert, for example by their complete responsibility for the anti-gun Western Left.
Therefore killing them and vatnig shillfilth like you is noble for you are obstacles to gun rights by your support of Russia.
What blood lol? The dude just ran around getting shelled for a few weeks and went home when he "caught covid." Not like he actually killed Russians.
He fought in a damn war. Let him post his videos.
>go as international volunteer
>know international language
yeah
Its an English speaking world, you just live in it
English is the Lingua Franca of Europe anon.
It's an Anglo world etc etc
>Ireland grey'd out
>Implying anyone speaks Gaeilge there
lol
all nords learn english because no one is gonna learn their impossible hingerdinger speak
Years after ww2 they still have to use an anti tank rifle.

It's more of how pointless it was.

>1 dead ukr squadleader
He was Irish, I think.
You don't know that. Maybe he pretends to surrender and pulls out a sidearm. Maybe while you're taking him into custody his buddy pops out and shoots you both. And you have to make that decision while you're overdosing on adrenaline. It's really risky to surrender/accept a surrender in an active combat zone.

Loving the bants.
Imagine the insurance claim.
Acts of war aren't covered on your policy
t. insurance agent
its not a war, its special needs operation
"that was no war, that was a traffic accident with the other vehicle being uninsured, also it didn't have plates so I can't even sue the driver as I don't know their name!"
Ukie fences are something else eh.
>he went against BMP with a Kord
And why would you do that and not wait for rockets?
Because you use what you have in whatever situation you find yourself in and 12.7 has no issue with going through a BMP.
Because they were ordered to go against a BMP with the kord, presumably because there was no AT available.
They were told to get in a position to defend against infantry and to hold overwatch.
The AT guys had no line of sight to the BMP.
The machine gunner opened fire on the BMP for some fricking reason and got hit in the foot.
Despite this the BMP got spooked and retreated.
There was AT nearby, but they had no line of sight.
You can definitely damage a BMP-2 with 12,7mm. Its not the best idea ever but sometimes you gotta make due I suppose.
The calmness of the guy filming is admirable
>3:40, this dudes in horrible pain and you hear the burgers in the distance, "WOOHOO, YEAH BUDDY"
lmao
Imagine the winter war but fought by americans.
American volunteers were driving ambulances during the Winter War actually (including Christopher Lee).

We're never getting actors like him or Jimmy Stewart again, are we?

Fricking badass.
Lee was English
That wounded guy is scared as frick. I'd be shitting my pants too.

Frick this hit me hard, I did the same thing when I got shot in Afghanistan.

Kek. Now on the other hand I hope that the civdiv next video is good but hes most likely going to pussy edit it for shekels as we should lots of explosions, dead spetsnatz and dead foreign volunteer.
>his Twitter bio says "went to war instead of therapy / it worked"

I've never heard this. What are the four ways?
Fair enough.
in canada they call that maid
Finnish sounds like a mix of Arab and Japanese.
>friend gets his foot blown off

70% of what he says are memes.
Can't wait for helmet cam footage from WWIII. Gonna be kino.

>Somehow stay calm while facing a BMP-2 with a fricking 30mm autocannon
I dont know what the frick is wrong with finns but im kinda glad they are on our side
Finn mortarman here, when the evacc came my thoughts kept going to "that unit needs some mortars doing some landscaping in the ruskis' general direction to keep the enemy's heads down", even just two 81/82mm firing line-of-sight would do wonders if they have the range to the enemy positions (trust me, you don't want to take potshots at couple 81/82mm mortars if they have you ranged & are firing at the 18 rounds in a minute -rate FDF expects (not constantly, but when ordered to fill the target area with tiny pieces of high-velocity cast iron for a minute, 18 rounds per tube in exactly one minute it is))
What are the odds someone would be caught trying to sneak in to Ukranian volunteer status without combat experience with a random DD214 found online..?
You better off without lying about combat experience but I hope you have at least military experience
yeah war is violent, you aren't saying anything new
I think OP meant how nothing goes according to plan ("plans never survive contact with the enemy" etc.) & things like that
Yes, I had hoped everyone already knew this.
Sometimes it's not worthless to open things and principles up a bit and tie them to context
>I got hit already, shot in the plates, by a sniper or something

Nice dogits bro i didnt even catch that part at first lmao
Haven't watched the vid yet but since this is Petropavlivka during the Kharkiv/Kupyans'k Offensive it will probably go well with these videos from Civ Div's friend who fought in Petropavlivka as well. They even took out a BMP-2M so I'm wondering if it's the same BMP as the Finns ran into.
Part 1: https://youtu.be/Rpx7TWc58PI They take out the BMP
Part 2: https://youtu.be/MzfgEVwsyOQ They move up to it
Part 3: https://youtu.be/pOiGJSf5RPE They find and nade the Russian Spetsnaz the BMP moved up to support
Apparently there're gonna be more parts.
>I'm wondering if it's the same BMP as the Finns ran into.
The pickup truck that evacuates the wounded finn looks like the same pickup they grab more rockets from in the civ div video.
My rough idea for a timeline:
>BMP shows up
>Finn shoot at it with fiddy
>BMP shoots finn and then gets spooked and starts falling back
>NLAW chad gets the angle
>BMP goes kaboom
>They keep rocketing the BMP while the finns get lost
>Rocket guys get more rockets from the pickup
>Pickup goes looking for the finns
>Eventually finds them and GTFOs
No idea if it fits timewise between the two videos
I don't think the Finn took a round from the BMP to his foot. Shrapnel maybe? Or small arms fire from the spetsnaz who were with the BMP
BMP has a coax PKT, no point wasting 30mm on a machinegunner
According to the video guy, he got a 7.62 through the foot.
would 30mm cannon take the foot off? depending on where it hit and distance but they're also taking small arms fire. Before Finnbro pulls out a bullet hits the road infront of him and he mentions being pinned down. I assumed that the WIA was hit by small arms fire by dismounts or Vatnigs riding on the BMP
I think the road the FInn is looking down with his sniper rifle is the same road the squad walks down in Civ Div's video
Yep definitely the same
>finnish BVLL kills the russians
>murica virgins secure the area
YOU SURE ABOUT THAT JABRONI?
I'm surprised by how many rockets they had to fire at that BMP. Sturdier than I thought
They had a bad angle on it and could only hit the front that's why it was only a mobility kill after the NLAW and continued firing.
They missed all rockets besides the nlaw.
they were calling for a range finder, NLAW fires a guided missile so aiming at the right spot is less important than with the dumb rockets fired from RPGs & an optical sight on the launcher doesn't do much if your range estimation is wrong
That makes sense.
what happened to those panzerfists we sent
only ever see foreign launcher
it seems like people really like the slavic AT-4s since they're lightweight.
It's also a matter of training.
Finnish volunteers tend to use Finnish sent equipment.
All of their LATs seem to be Finnish
Looks like he's using that american rpg-7 knock off. Pretty cool.
>umptillion rails for all your horizontal grip, laser and bovine ballsack grip needs
i didn't even know those things were being produced. i thought that was just a proof of concept. i also love that they use a sightmark wolfhound
>firing the kord towards bmp-2
>the kord
The most bizarre thing is that it worked.
The BMP fricked off and only came back later after everyone had repositioned.
i cant make it i need feet
>Ivan if he blows off our tracks we cant make it
>we need our tracks
Maybe the BMP crew though that they were getting lit up by 12.7s and decided to frick right off because, 12.7 can pen the back and sides of BMPs at close range (afaik front is only rated for 14.5 mm afaik) and the fact that infantry were lighting them up meant that they got overrun and could take AT rocket to the fuel tank any second at that point.
>though that they were getting lit up by 12.
The Kord uses 12.7×108mm
Apparently it's a real b***h to use.
>Apparently it's a real b***h to use.
it's a 32kg (infantry version on bipod) machinegun firing a .50 cal 855 to 873 grain bullet at 2700fps, 600-650rpm
semi-related but FDF trains a air self-defence doctrine where when ordered the entire unit loads tracers, switches to full auto and just dumps on the enemy aircraft for the sole purpose of causing it to abort & possibly pull up to an altitude where proper air defences can shoot it down, the Americans I have told about this have been somewhat dismissive, some because "muh American air supremacy" & others because "muh American air-to-ground"
Does everybody just have one mag of tracers?
it can damage optics and shit, also penetrate weaker parts, the BMP is notoriously thin skinned
>Yeah... forget all those dreams about high-speed-low-drag operational operating.
You only have those dreams if your fake media you choose to think is real life is CoD and not Saving Private Ryan/Platoon.
>mfw evacuating wounded in an unarmored pickup with an enemy BMP lurking a couple hundred meters away
The balls.
nice rifle
>guy gets shot in the foot
>AAA IM DEAD
oh wow just like the movies. thats gotta hurt like a b***h tho all them lil bones up in there.
Who the frick was the gigachad who picked the wounded guy up at the end?
I did a bit of training with Finns and this video reminded me of it. Good dudes.
>over the din of battle you can hear burgers screaming homosexual and spraying machine guns
wtf I love burgers now
>8:16
>(in the distance) Frick you homosexual! Blyat!
>(machine gun burst)
>medevac guy backs the car up and runs into a bush
>SHIT, FRICK
i dont know why that was so funny
kek I'd probably do the same thing if I knew there was a BMP2 somewhere nearby.
i wonder if that was his MRAD or if it was just given to him. thats enough gun to buy a new car lol.
Warms my heart to see so many different nationalities coming together over killing Russians.
BTW I'm not gonna say I can get inside this guy's head or anything, but I just feel like he's kinda annoyed by the wounded guy, but not letting that take over.
Yeah for sure. This kind of situation can be seen pretty frequently in the FDF even during training. It's pretty common for someone to complain more than they should in a difficult situation and then there is no other option for the other guys to deal with it. They even had us watch a training film of "the first combat encounter" in which one of the main focuses was a guy suffering a mental breakdown.
>training film of "the first combat encounter" in which one of the main focuses was a guy suffering a mental breakdown.
found that one on YT years ago, it had more cheese than Valio's factory.
honestly i think hes more annoyed by losing his car and a majority of his shit.
As someone who's been shot in the foot before I can forgive the wounded guy's b***hing. It hurts like a motherfricker after a couple of minutes.
Is the guy from those M2 HMMWV videos still over there? Haven't heard anything ever since I saw that video of them driving over an AT mine and somehow surviving.
>Our dayback burned with the Nissan
Losing your Savotta Jääkäri XL, feels bad man.
They lost a whole squad's worth of those. Cost probably as much as the Nissan.

Ribs in peaces, Kake Randelin and Nissan.
why is footsoldier wearing a skirt
It's comfy.
M4s are so fricking beautiful
Do they only take people with combat experience or is standard military training enough?
>I got hit already in de platez by sniper or something
>Cool
Metal
I give the Finn with the go pro a 10/10 banter and sarcasm award and will assume most Finn's can bant and are cool.
Their accents are so cool
Finn here, rallienglanti is a crime against humanity
oh yeah rate my homosexual shus
Are all Finns this fluent in English? It's a little scary how easily the cameraman switches between English and Finnish.
Also, that harried burger driver was fricking funny. Dude's definitely had a long day.
They ones I've known are, but I guess as a burger I'd be less likely to run into Finns who don't speak English. Tons are weebs too for some reason, I met a bunch when I was working in Japan, cool dudes if pretty much all autismo as frick.
You're kinda forced to learn it if you want to use the internet.
It's one thing to have a stumbling grasp of English, the way many of the Latin American immigrants I've lived around recently do. It's another to speak it capably, with little to no grammatical eccentricity or awkward phrasing; which is what this Finn did.
