Complete GoPro of my 1st mission in Ukraine - Kherson & Mykolaiv
The only purpose of today’s video is to shine a light on the early part of the war that people only saw a 1 minute a clip of. This is the full context, hope you learned something. No amount of training can prepare you for this shit.

[@malloperator]

Not only that but we're not getting this footage 6 months after when they come home from deployment, most of these videos are getting uploaded 20 minutes after it happens. I don't think we've ever had the ability to watch a live war from POV as it happens.

Communication will be the next big game changer. Germany already is implementing digital communication, taplets, mini maps... to their units and regular foot soldiers and the difference is massive.

We didn't have basements to protect us from enemy mortars. Each night we establish and platoon defensive perimeter to defend against an attack at night. Our enemy in Vietnam only had mortars where I was operating but in the area that my brother was operating the North Vietnamese were using heavy artillery on his position. There was one time when our Marine Corps artillery mistook my company for the enemy and shelled us with barrages of 155 artillery. It was the most terrifying experience of my life.

I can't imagine the stress of dealing with the lack of communication and organization at the beginning of the war: trying to figure out who's friend or foe, using foreign equipment that you had limited to no experience with, and dealing with a lack of fire support if you had an unexpected encounter.

@@toosmoke4u987 I am from Ukraine, Kyiv, which is far from active war and people near the front line may feel different, but I feel that in general people are staying positive. The civilians have nothing left to control but their own state so everyone tries to maintain their physical and mental health to the best of their ability and being negative is direct opposite of that. At the end of the day if you and your surroudning are alive, fed, have a shelter it was a pretty good day. In times of war we dont need much to be happy hence the positivity. On top of that seeing news of global support, of arms given to our military (which reassures that they give a great fight to "world's second army") and successful actions by the millitary give us a great hope that it is simply impossible to lose in this war and we will liberate our lands. Somehow when the invasion began everyone switched to some mode that just blocks all negativity because it can only lead to despair and noone needs that. And everyone understood that if you see someone who is nervous or have real struggles (and a lot of people stuggled either mental, financial or any else) it is your duty to help them in any way you can. And seeing this acts of kindness also help you reassure that we are strong and in fact stronger than ever, which in turn gives hope and the whole cycle begins again. I trully wish that noone else ever feel this on their own, because it definetely take a tall on you, but it is in this times we feel our honesty, dignity and humanity at their peak. On behalf of every Ukrainian I would also like to thank everyone supporting Ukrainians in any way you can, every bit of help counts. Every coin, every piece of clothing or food, every word of support builds towards the victory. Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine!

@@connorbernier7689 there is no regime in Ukraine. It's a democracy with a president

[@3217491]

​@@andrewscoggins4747 I agreed with how the entirety of ukraine is fairly hospitable, based on the many videos I've seen of Ru/Ukr forces interacting with the populas (less of Ukr tbh) and how happily they communicated. But to say there's no regime is kinda eh. The current president is a comedian with 0 experience in statecraft he only played president on russian tv. And in 2014 there was a pretty violent uprising and an unconstitutional swap of presidents (too little votes to make it official, but EU/US instantly acknowledged the transfer) Nice example of interaction with civillians kzbin.info/www/bejne/any0h4OjerNqadk&ab_channel=MaxChronicler - "At the edge of the abyss" incase you don't want to click a youtube link. (understandable tbf) fair warning this is RU POV in the battle for mariupol. idk how biased you are, based on your comment fairly badly, but idk if that prevents you from seeing any footage from the other side. But like the other people here said, it's the civillians suffering, they just want to be left alone and live their lives. Patrick Lancaster youtuber (biased) who films and follows Ru army has a video where he's in a themepark and interviews people on their views on the war etc. how their experience currently is. Most replies you see is them saying they don't care about what the other people here think they just want to live in peace with them. So not exactly independance, just a right to a proper life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpnOaaVto9SIh9k - is the video "Pro Russia & Pro Ukraine People Living together in The Warzone" is the title. "Patrick Lancaster" is the account. (he interviews a ton of people in his other videos aswell, and since it's mostly donbass region most are ethnic russian(ukrainian pasport))
