why is the G and H swapped in Ukrainian?
to make gonorrhoea less dishonourable
Underrated post.
Nice one
G = Ґ
H = Г
what about in vatnik runes? they pronounce Hitler as Gitler, Hollywood as gollywood.
Yeah, they don't have a letter for H. It's why Stalin got all pissy and banned Ґ
gamburger
H = Г
G = Ґ
I can explain anon.
>t. Ukie with an interest in linguistics.
This is not vatnik runes thing but Ukrainian transliteration to English thing
H = Kh = X is pronounced as H in English.
G = Ґ or G in English.
H = Г or a G (ish) in English without the body of your tongue ever touching the roof of your mouth (like a hybrid between G and H).
>Honor unit, as part of the Da Vinci Wolves battalion

was the tech too primitive during the GWOT or were we deliberately being kept from anything that wasn't curated? Obviousily this is as well but you guys know what I mean. That bullshit CNN footage of nondescript firing from a side angle and the same b roll footage over and over and over or blurry predator drone or gunship footage if it was juicy and one sided enough.
There's a bunch of footage from individual soldiers of GWOT stuff but in the case of Ukraine it's explicitly supported by unit commanders and has way further reach (a US unit commander probably won't be releasing RQ-7/MQ-9 footage willynilly). Additionally, it feels like the distances involved in Ukraine are FAR closer, which makes for better video.
gonna be real with you, whenever I would see news footage of some gruff weary soldier firing a LMG I always questioned if they were actually shooting at the enemy, some vague area where the enemy "is" in a general sense or were firing at nothing at all for the PR value
what the frick is happening with that M2 man, that's fricked
theres dozens if not hundreds of hours of helmet cam footage from afghanistan and iraq on youtube but its mostly uneventful in comparison to the close quarters trench combat we see out of ukraine. a lot of it is "we're taking shots from that position 800 meters away lets wait 20 minutes for CAS to wipe them out"
cameras weren't small and cheap enough to be carried by soldiers in combat back then. Most of the footage came from embedded journos that never were close enough or self-censored.And it was still low res for today's standards.
Go-pros didn't exist yet and cellphone cameras weren't good enough if they even had those.
I still have a bunch of videos from my days of lurking in ogrish and militaryphotos, like this one:

>was the tech too primitive during the GWOT or were we deliberately being kept from anything that wasn't curated?
Both.
In the first years of the Iraq war my family was still using Hi8 casette camcorders to shoot our home movies/family vacations. The first digital GoPro came out in 2006 and it probably cost a decent percentage out of a paycheck. Imagine trying to edit good footage and upload it from a 2000s laptop and trying to upload it from whatever shitty internet was available. You most likely would burn it into a CD/DVD and bring it with you after deployment.
There's probably never uploaded footaged that ended up in memory cards or hard drives without ever being edited for consumption.

God I love Ukies.
>Was able to defend a trench with 1 loss and killed at least 7 Russians
>Able to storm a trench (extremely dangerous thing for infantry) and take (I assume) zero casualties while killing multiple Russians again.
Are these guys just really good or is it survivors bias?
A mix of both. We wouldn't be seeing his videos if he died, and he seems a competent squad leader.
Grenade spam is also a b***h against stunned defenders.
Neither. They're just fighting really bad opponents. It's like burgers massacring jihadis except with more artillery/tanks and less air support.
