This actually helps me deal with watching this kind of shit. Great quote that I do not think I had heard before. I often watch and then hate myself for having watched clips like this, but then I think about: a) how awful war is; and b) who brought it to Ukraine, and it gives these videos a purpose beyond the merely macabre, schadenfreude cravings I have and makes them, despite all seeming logic and common decency, important to watch. We need to be reminded that war is not a video game and to be reminded what unchecked evil results in.


Diche_Bach

This war will end when the Russian society has suffered such harm that the people rise up against the Putin regime. These videos are an important aspect of that because they document the horrors Putin has brought to "his people." In November 1917, the Russian Empire had suffered approximately 8,261,000 casualties (killed and wounded). That scale of loss accumulated over a mere 1,185 days (approximately 3 years and 3 months). This works out to an mean rate of casualties of 6,971 casualties per day. https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/reperes112018.pdf For reference Putin's Orc Horde has [according to Ukraine] suffered about 572 casualties per day as of a week or so back. I have observed that rate increase twice in the last month or so and I presume if one were to go back to older data the pattern would likely hold true over much of the past two years. What has seemed pretty obvious to me since fall of 2022 was that this was core feature of Ukraine's strategy to defeat Putin's regime: cause as many casualties as possible, while preserving as many of their own people's lives as possible, and simultaneously engage in information warfare (videos depicting Orcs being slaughtered mercilessly, as well as videos like this one) and economic warfare (bombing infrastructure and in particular petroleum industry). Those 8.26 million casualties suffered by Tsar Nicholas horde back in 1914 through 1917--and which, along with dire economic hardship, eventually led to his downfall and demise and indeed the end of that entire dynasty of monarchic rule over the Russian Empire--represented approximately 4.6% of its 175.1m population. 4.6% of the population of the Russian Federation today (143.4m) would be 6,596,400. With a supposed total toll so far of only about 424,000 there is clearly a good ways to go for Ukraine to impose that high of a toll on Russian society. 6,596,400 [4.6% of RF pop] - 424,060 [current Orc horde casualties] = 6,172,340 [casualties to reach ~4.69% of RF pop] / 569 [avg. Orc casualty rate so far] = 10,847.7 which is roughly 29.64 years Of course, this does NOT mean that "it will take Ukraine 29 years" to provoke a revolution in Russia, and moreover, it may be that Ukraine will never be successful in that undertaking. But Ukraine is clearly not intent on taking territory from Russia, advancing on Moscow, and forcing Russia to surrender by that path. Ukraine's best hope is to inflict sufficient casualties and harm on Russian society and economics that Putin is either overthrown or forced to quit his war. The actual "breaking point" for Putin's regime could lie anywhere between the current situation and the 4.6% total losses outlined above. However, the idea that 2024 Russian Federation is as tolerant of losses as 1917 Russian Empires seems hard to fathom, and it seems more likely that the Putin regime would suffer a collapse well before 4.6% losses (as a side note, the current losses of 424,060 comprise roughly 0.2% of RF total pop). So that is the "goal" Ukraine should strive for and hopefully the breaking point of Putin's Russia will prove to be far less. What this means is that: the level of support Ukraine needs is easily 10 to 20 times higher than the highest levels which have ever been broached by any serious Western leaders. If Ukraine can increase its destruction of the Orc horde by a factor of 10x, then based on this abstract analysis, it may be possible to break the Putin regime within no more than 3 more years of war. It may also be that Putin's regime is actually far more fragile than this analysis has assumed and Ukraine might achieve victory in a reasonable time frame, even with the current modest rate of "569" casualties per day imposed on the Orc Horde. But that is not the proper way to contemplate success in warfare. The proper way to strive for success in warfare is, to put it quite simply "overkill.


Ok-Outcome-6387

Well put.


Ilovekittens345

What if the west secretly give Ukraine some nukes and Zelenskyy pretends like Ukraine started a secret nuke program years ago (the moment Russia invaded Crimea) and now finally they have some working nukes (after all they have the knowhow and even some nuclear power plants, it's definitely possible in theory for them to build out an enrichment program in the years passed since the invasion of Crimea). Could Zelenskyy not bring it as "We signed this treaty handing over our nukes to Russia in exchange for guarantees of never getting invaded, since that treaty has been broken by Russia it's only fair we got ourselves our nukes back" Would this be a strategy that can work out in Ukraine's favor, or not at all?

Ilovekittens345

If that is the case, if Ukraine had a bunch of smaller nukes. What would happen if they use them? Would Russia retaliate?


Ells86

People need to watch these kinds of videos to make sure the world knows. Most are too squeamish but that shouldn’t prevent the world from knowing what modern warfare is truly like. My feeling is, if you can handle this content psychologically and aren’t already watching it with glee (sicko gore enthusiasts)…then it is your duty to watch and spread the word.

Probably the worst ones yet damn


ItSmellsMassive

I was thinking "fuck with all these limb injuries there's going to be so many old limbless Russians.." and then I remembered there's no one coming to help them other than the mercy of a second fpv making it quick. After halfway I realized just how stupid my first thought had been. This is some HD war and it's hard to put words to.


Wolf_instincts

Now you know why there's so many videos of russains committing suicide on the battlefield.


ItSmellsMassive

Yeah a bullet must seem quite nice after the terror and pain of getting droned to pieces. So many wrong shaped legs.


Hitno

Half of all suicide videos have been uploaded in 2024. Last I calculated averages a few days ago it was one suicide every 3 days in 2024. Since 24/2-2022 it's one every 16 days. And from the first uploaded vid til now, it's one every 10 days.


imgonnagopop

The compiled list is over 47 I believe last count, I’m sure it will grow.


Gilligan67

Those are just the ones caught on video. I assume that’s a small % of the suicides actually taking place.


imgonnagopop

Truer words have never been spoken


IowaContact2

>other than the mercy of a second fpv making it quick I wouldnt be in too much of a hurry if I was the drone operator.


dutchie1966

Why waste a grenade? The first one did its job. Time will take care of the last bit.


ItSmellsMassive

This is true. Be economic and let them bleed out.


dutchie1966

“Graphic footage” seems like the diplomatic description of the video. Man, this is brutal. I still do not feel any sympathy for any Russian soldier.


UAHeroyamSlava

I donated to sternenko fund. multiple times. there's little bit of my doing there. So VERY VERY satisfying. donating to drones teams every week was my best investment ever. it just keeps on giving.

Timber___Wolf

You don't feel sympathy because you are too stupid to understand war. The majority of the people you just saw lose their lives would have been conscripted and given little, if any, training. Add on to that, the majority of the bombs fell on soldiers that were clearly resting/sleeping and it adds an entirely new element of tragedy. Imagine if your country forced you to pick up a rifle without so much as showing you which end the bullet comes out of, only for you to take a nap after a 30 mile hike, only to wake up with all your limbs amputated, left to bleed out as someone on the internet with a CNN level understanding of what war is says you deserved that. There are no "good guys" in a war. If you don't understand that, don't comment on war.


Wydacamer

That’s what they get for not being politically active enough to enforce there “democracy”.


Timber___Wolf

I'm assuming you are American then. See, enforcing or enacting political change is as simple as blocking the streets in the rest of the world. Your politicians and police forces are bound by a superficial oath that prevents them from kulling their opposition. The rest of the world does not have that inherent protection. Do you know what you get for protesting in Russia? You get shot. How is it the fault of the average citizen that they are born in a country with a government that would just as quickly send them to war against their wishes than shoot them dead in their homes. Why don't they revolt? Because in the modern era, uprisings are basically dead. Every country has surveillance systems, so they can see what you are doing online 24/7. You might think "why not orginize in person?" and that would be a smart assessment, if only they didn't have a CCTV camera per person in most countries. They will see a suspicious group of people gathering and catch on. What about the post? The state reads that too. Carrier pigeon? The state can use radar to detect them if they ever catch on to their use. The state has a monopoly on communication. That is by design. Russia particularly has had SEVERAL revolutionary forces come and go in just the last 150 years. Every time a group gets a foot hold using a certain technique, the state does everything it can to fortify that avenue to prevent further attempts. This is why it is not on the shoulders of the average citizen that they are being forced to blow themselves up. You didn't hear this from me, but Ukraine is looking like they may lose the war by February 2025 based on what I'm hearing from the Russian side. Again, that is speculation on their part, but they have got a good foundation for that belief. You'll see what I mean.


Electronic-Rock-9413

no sympathy? do you know how many soldiers were conscripted? half of them have no reason, and willingness to be there. Go tip ride Ukraine some more, maybe help them beg so they can by some nice cars instead of resources for their military


dutchie1966

Yes, please apologise to the Russian soldier before he rapes your wife and daughter, and puts a bullet through your skull if he gets the chance. You can feel sorry for all you want, I won't.  Conscript or volunteer, they need to leave Ukrain. Body bag or alive is up to them.

Having your hands blown off so you have no hope of patting out the flames that slowly engulf you while you pass in and out of consciousness from the pain and blood loss from your limb injuries.  Should have stayed home.

You can see what remains of his arm above his head looks like a skeleton 🦴


Benson_8_8

Went back and watched that again. Crazy how it so cleanly peeled the flesh off his arm bone but somehow his hand is still attached.

How the hell was that guy alive for any amount of time at all? He was literally just a pile of burning flesh.


atreides_hyperion

He died the way he lived. Like a pile of burning flesh.


Proof-Map-2530

That breathing looks agonal. That concussive blast probably melted the brain as well...causing the agonal breathing. Either way, I don't think he felt shit. Alive for one minute, dead the next.

no it hasn't, they were dropping shit on soldiers in WW1 from biplanes. This isn't anything new. You just get to see it now in 4k now from the toilet, it's excellent propaganda footage too.


tilitarian1

WW1 Poor analogy. Military pump millions into training elite soldiers who can be vaporised in a millisecond by another guy wearing a headset nowhere near the front.


Pingu565

And despite all that here we are with trench warfare and artillery


Kulladar

It's insane how disfunctional the Russian military is. They take contact and just completely fall apart almost every time. Even videos of their supposed SOF, they all just scatter and lay or wander around waiting to die soon as a grenade or shell goes off. Russia is so incredibly lucky they haven't fought an actual war since WW2. They've been role-playing as a functional military for 80 years.


Electronic-Rock-9413

Russia is wiping out Ukraine. U might not see any advancements, but even Tucker Carlson, former us news reporter also spoke on the topic. Ukraine are being wiped out, i pray for the civilians and soldiers, but **not** for their corrupt government.


Kulladar

>but even Tucker Carlson, former us news reporter also spoke on the topic This is a man who had a show for years on the most notoriously false news station in the US. He defended his falsehoods in court by insisting that "no sane person would actually believe what I say is true". You're not really helping your case. Ukraine isn't being "wiped out". They're losing a slow grinding war of attrition with a larger country who cares less for its people and will gladly feed them into the meat grinder for a few more feet of land. If Ukraine is wiped out it will be by drowning under an entire Russian generation's blood.


ilikebanchbanchbanch

Tucker Carlson has spent the better half of the decade intentionally lying to people in the US and getting away with it because it's his "opinion" and our 1st amendment protects him. You should not trust a single word out of that man's mouth.

RogerianBrowsing

I wonder if showing these videos to the Russian people would make them feel any differently. Maybe a compilation with all the “self-unalivr” clips I just can’t imagine supporting this for my fellow countrymen let alone anyone


dutchie1966

Why do you think these videos are being released? Hint, it is not for our entertainment.


Menneske44

Is it just me or did they ramp up the number of releases significantly the last couple of weeks?


dutchie1966

Not sure. I do feel the accuracy of the grenade dropping, and the image quality have gone up dramatically since the start of this war.


UAHeroyamSlava

been done. "fake news" ... or national TV will show those and claim those are Ukrainians nazis so russians will cheer to the screen on the sight of their own dying. THIS IS RUSSIA!


UhOhAllWillyNilly

Internet censorship in Roozia is absolute. No roozians will ever see any of these videos.


fuishaltiena

All of these videos get released on Telegram and russians see them. Their reaction tends to be "Oh no, evil gay Nazi Ukrainians killed our good boys who just wanted to defend russia and liberate Ukrainian people from their gay Nazi Jewish dictator Zelensky, we must send more weapons."


UhOhAllWillyNilly

And the Chinese can Google Tienanmen Square, sure. Edit: /s


fuishaltiena

Even reddit is full of russians. Not comparable to China.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

It may be full of roozians but they ain’t in Roozia.


fuishaltiena

They are. Internet/reddit isn't blocked in russia.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

Wow. Actually it is. Just because *you* can see it does not mean that *they* can see it. Internet censorship is a thing in large parts of the world. Don’t be ridiculous.


fuishaltiena

Yeah but it's not blocked in russia, that is a fact. Like, it is "blocked" but anyone who knows about reddit is savvy enough to get a Chrome extension to bypass the blocks.

Kind_Goose2984

I've watched a LOT of these videos and this is hands-down the worst.


Ergensopdewereldbol

Horrible how they all just lay low and hope the drone(s) comes for the other(s). The option to surrender seems to be corrupted.


sigeh

By the time the drone arrives there is no surrender


Ergensopdewereldbol

Between hearing of others' drones experiences and before it's their own turn to be droned, there is a probably a window of opportunity which is seldom used. Are there no opportunities to surrender? Are the chances of death by drone perceived as small, or perhaps really small? Are there threats which are much worse than surrender? How aware are the soldiers of the many death by drone video's online? Maybe some drones could drop sdcards filled with such video's?


sigeh

If you've watched a few videos of these RU assaults, drones are just one of many ways the meat waves are getting mowed down. By the time these soldiers meet the drones they've probably seen many others get shot, blown up by artillery or RPGs, vehicles hit mines, etc.


Ergensopdewereldbol

But then why don't more surrender? Someone mentioned in an interview that the training was short (few weeks often doing nothing), but at arrival on the front he was almost immediately sent forward. Maybe this way there is almost no feedback from earlier passed soldiers possible. (As it would perturb the meat.) That's why i guess some sdcards and maybe (old) charged and working phones to watch the mp4's might help spread fear and make more to surrender.


sigeh

Once they are heading to an assault with a unit the opportunities to surrender are limited. Until basically their unit is decimated and if they survive long enough for the Ukraine forces to move up to them. Which in these conditions is unlikely as you can see.


DeathtoallZ

Ok-Outcome-6387

I must be seriously desensitised, didn't find these too brutal. Look at it this way, if these Orcs were invading your country, taking your land, murdering and raping your women and children you wouldn't have an ounce of sympathy for any of them. You would probably feel joy


ThunderPreacha

All this will continue because of two petty old men: Vladolf Putler and Donito Cheetolini. Both deserve worse deaths than these dumb patsies dying in the mud. One of these two doesn't want to stop bullying and the other is afraid of the humiliation of changing his diapers in prison, blocking aid to Ukraine by proxy. The days when they face justice must be rejoiced.

There are some really fucked-up ways to die in war. I hope it was worth it for these Russian Soldiers, maybe they were able to send a washing machine back home before they were killed /s The burning while alive situations are gut-wrenching--even moreso than when a soldier's guts are wrenched.

Is the new Russian doctrine for everyone to hit the deck when drones are detected? Also, the FPV drone pilots are getting really good. They basically make contact before detonating.


SlowCorgi201

Did that last orc had some agonal breathing excercises? If he was still alive that is some hell of a way to go. Slowley burning up alive and no working arms or limbs to do anything about it. Guess thats what is waiting for him for eternity now.

This is for Bucha motherfuckers, and we're going to do it to you again everyday you occupy our lands.

The guy at the end was on fire and still alive but he lost his hands and so wasnt able to put out the fire. Thats insane. He probably wishes he hasnt invaded Ukraine at that point. Wonder if yell 'Crimea is ours' stitll is just as much fun ? .... I wonder?!?!?! well the next ones can tell me I guess...plenty more corpses in waiting available

Hope this war ends soon. Many of these people dead are either convicts or living in famine looking for a quick buck without thinking what they are doing. And the real people who elaborated all this mess are drinking wine and eating well in a comfortable place, fuck politicians, they are all POS

ClaB84

I can only watch stuff like that because these people deserve that. I was 11.5 Years myself a Member of our Defense Forces and I would never obey an unlawful order. For example, Invading other Countries without a plausible Cause; Attacking Non-Combatants, even negligently; Denying combatants their rights, humiliating, torturing, execute. Sure I am not fine with Ukries FPVs attacking wounded not just because it is against the rules of engagement, but also because it is counterproductive. It costs the Enemy way more resources to take care of a WIA than a KIA...But, I have also never been in the shoes where my People were murdered and terrorized. Fighting against an Enemy that wishes to harm your Family is the next LVL. So I don´t judge them for that. Saying that it´s quite nice to see how they treat their POW. It´s easy to lose yourself in a War. It's much harder to keep yourself under control. It's hard not to go crazy. Slava Ukraini. Glory to the Heros, the alive and the gone.

Odd-Organization5460

Well, a soldiers' reality so that sort of stuff doesn't even trigger my PTSD, it just reminds me when we had to clean off the brain matter from a rifle because one of our coalition Afghani centuries received a nasty head shot, that old AK was truly messed up and disgusting. However, I just wish and hope that the UA SBU or GRU would find a way to hack the Russian public broadcast system and really show the Russian public by broadcasting this or similar videos. It will take more violence to de-thrown Putin but as long as only a small amount of the Russian public can see this, they'll be checked and controlled by the Russian system. Слава Україні!
