Drone warfare is horrifying

[@Manwendlil]

warfare as a whole is horrfying, regardless if it is for a right cause or in selfdefense... but ukraine has no other choice, to defend her sovereignty.

@@no0ns It's actually not ignorant... No one is unaware the Biden family has been involved with money laundering in Ukraine. Couple that with the EU pushing Ukraine to cut all trade with Russia in favor of the EU/NATO, with the promise of becoming part of NATO (An explicitly anti-Russian military alliance). Then look into the fact that the USA sponsored and trained neo-nazi paramilitary groups (Azov battalion) to kill eastern Ukrainians (pro-Russian demographic) back in 2014-2015. The Ukrainian civil war / revolution in 2014 was set up by NATO members to overthrow the democratically elected government. This war is a curse from NATO.

It would be cool to know more about Arnie. I lived in north eastern Finland for 6 years. I am partially Finn myself and some of my best friends are Finnish military. I was super proud to find out that there are a lot of Finns fighting in Ukraine. Hakkaa päälle!!

[@nicknicky1973]

Конечно рад... много свободных рабочих мест

[@totesfleisch258]

I cant really give away details due to OpSec but when i was over i met some Finns and they were some of the most badass Mfers i have met. I dont know anything beside the Fact they served at home, and some have been over since the original Invasion, fighting without break. They ended up gifting me some hella expensive Gear they didnt need which saved me over 3 Grand.

[@Mattiflips]

Finland still has conscription so all Finnish men eventually get military training, women can also volunteer and do in fair numbers. I have career military friends there as well. One was a Jaeger and trained APC crews and served in Kosovo. Finns definitely have Sisu or for lack of a good English translation you could call it guts. They whooped the soviets asses in the winter war and never forgot about it. I actually held a few war trophies from that war. I think the Finns understand more than most what its like when the neighbor gets feisty and tries to roll on them....@@totesfleisch258 they are good people and I am not surprised to hear them helping out fellow soldiers.

[@alexandersmith2893]

Arnie’s not finnish.

[@Mattiflips]

@@alexandersmith2893 are you sure? I'm certain I've watched a clip or two where he spoke Finnish to another squad mate. His accent is very much the Finnish English and Arne is a Finnish name. I could be wrong but from everything I can put together he is indeed a Finnish soldier. I have tried to find more info but I haven't been able to find anything more. I am sure it's mostly because of opsec and I totally understand that.

[@sawssurvivalapplicationswe3867]

Thank you for posting

[@barahng]

Sheesh, some of those look like Viet Cong tunnels they're so tiny. I'm surprised they don't try to fashion some kind of forward slanting roof so the grenades can't easily roll right into the hole by gravity. In WW1 it was common practice to either do that and/or have a grenade sump which is basically a hole inside the hole that the grenade rolls into or is kicked into so the fragmentation causes less damage.

[@xisotopex]

in the Marines we are still instructed/taught to make grenade sumps whenever we dig fighting holes

[@Rthurr_]

Perhaps this particular phenomenon (not using grenade sumps etc.) goes to show the lack of proper training amongst the Russian soldiers?

[@sloptek1807]

​​@@Rthurr_No, it's due to the fact, that whenever you take new positions you simple don't have time to do necessary work. Usually you're immediately receiving counterattack or drone/artillery bombardment. Try to do little engineering while you can't rise you head up. Secondly, nets or covers are considered, tho still used when able, a waste of resources, cause artillery will ruin you position anyway. Evidence for all I said? Look at the entrenchments at the frontline, they speak better than any theories.

[@hunterkiller232134]

​@@sloptek1807the US Army teaches to always be improving your position. The video shows 2 separate attacks across 2 days and the fighting positions look basically the same. You'd think after fleeing a position and then retaking it you'd do something to harden it a bit more. It shows that the Russians either lack the training or know-how, or the discipline. A hole in the ground like that is basically the first thing you would dig to create a fighting position and within a couple days of occupying it should be at least a little more complex. That PKM is more useful when concealment and cover is built up.

[@sloptek1807]

@@hunterkiller232134 Yeah-yeah, it's all good and stuff, but read my comment again. You don't improve your position under fire. You're claiming that there were no art/drone bombardment between two attacks? Hard to believe. And even if that's the case, how you gonna improve your position without proper logistics? Both Russians and Ukrainians can hunt down anything, any squad or vehicle, on depths of 5-10 km from the frontline. So the thing, if you have no materials and can hardly get ammo/proviant you won't be able to adjust your positions. Ofcoures you can try to dig frozen soil or put some tree pieces, but that won't help much. You know what's the difference between us? I don't slander Russians , I much prefer not to underestimate enemies.

it would probably have to be 3.5 inch turkey loads to be able to reach that high up. they call it BB shot and its bbs that are .177 caliber steel balls which work great on high flying birds and up close its like buckshot

[@lorenzcassidy3960]

Maybe an automatic shotgun or a semi-auto one with a high capacity magazine and the right ammo (e.g. steel buckshot) could be a viable option as a short range anti-drone gun. Assault rifles are pretty much ineffective in this role.
