Every Step Could Be Your Last - Demining in Ukraine

[@PrestonStewart]

To learn more about Ryan and the work he's doing with Tip of the Spear Landmine Removal, head to his website: landmineremoval.org/

[@hermelnderhans]

I will spend for his mission as soon as possible ✌️

[@wesleykamerer6154]

In terms of old munitions, they just found an unexploded shell from the battle of gettysburg that happened in 1863! Its crazy how many unexploded shells could exist all over the world.

[@trenton9665]

We found one in our driveway when we were putting in our dirt road. (The top thing was taken out so apparently it is safe).

[@TysoniusRex]

Tens or hundreds of millions. It's apalling.

[@soxfan182]

@@fraskf6765 I’d say the amount of Jews y’all killed was overkill sooo we sent the right amount of bombs! But sorry you were inconvenienced twice in 5 years from some unexplored ordinance. That must be hard on you.

[@soxfan182]

@@fraskf6765 please show me where I said I am a holy lamb. I said the number of bombs dropped on you was the correct amount considering the whole genocide thing. How does that equate to I am a holy lamb exactly?

[@s-z-n-n]

This will be a great listen for later, You and Ryan are doing great work in both your fields, keep it up!

[@therougechipmunk8058]

He really said. 05lbs of pressure to set it off and their still scooping them up with shovels to place in fuel to set on fire and render unless. That's fuking wild, that thing can easily go off while their scooping it up. Talk about nerves of steel EOD ain't no joke. EOD guys are insane.

As for machine laying of mines, imagine a regular farming plough that makes a half foot deep 1ft wide flat bottom trench, behind that, there's a trailing wheel powered hopper that feeds armed AT mines from a slide and into the trench every X revolutions of the trailing wheel and a second blade that shovel back the soil over the deployed mines. All this is hooked up behind a flat bed tractor trailer or APC with open rear doors, two soldiers assembling and arming the mines and putting them on the slide to the hopper. As for clearing, would it be feasible to build a tracked R/C drone with a ww2 style mine flail for anti-personel mines and cluster UXO?

[@hafsalinda]

You mean a bottom buster plow?

[@userequaltoNull]

We already have the RC mine flail.

[@leeming1317]

Very privilige to have battle buddies in a sense talking to each other colloquially to inform us the of trials and tribulations of the war Thanks for this coverage show us the faces behind the scenes, and how us Americans are helping personally and financially 💪

[@bradastonk3422]

We just had a ww2 bomb explode by mistake here in the UK, Norfolk I think, crazy stuff, hats off to all those who are de mining for the Ukrainians, scary af!

[@davidfraser9365]

👏👏👏. Top work from Ryan

[@notenoughtoys1364]

Filler data: It blew up in Great Yarmouth eleven days ago. It wasn't a mine, but unexploded bomb. Still, it went off unexpectedly so it could have gone really badly. kzbin.info?search_query=yarmouth+explodes

[@hermelnderhans]

This guy is a living legend ! Thanks for this

[@ShogunMura]

Fuck yeah, glad ryan got to talk to you, two super humble guys 🤙🤙

[@TealTechie]

Very interesting video and awesome non-profit. Good luck and keep up the amazing work!

[@bearthomas]

Welcome back

[@TysoniusRex]

Thanks so much for posting this, Preston. Checking out the website now.

[@jonthinks6238]

I support his channel. I wish more would. 8

[@disposabull]

It's hilarious that you think a WWII bomb going off two weeks ago in England is crazy. In the UK WWII bombs are still found on average 1-3 times per week. On the continent (mainland Europe), it's that much per day on a good day, usual a lot more. If you live in northeast France or Belgium, bomb disposal is needed to deal WWI (one, not two) on a daily basis. But on the plus side, if you ever come to Europe and want to eat a spinach salad, go to north France or Belgium. It turns out that ploughing your fields by turning millions of people into pink mist is great for plants. Artillery is Fertility baby. Also good for random fish ponds.

[@sheva4ever1]

Thank you Ryan. You are a real hero.

[@fender91m]

What’s wild to me is why would someone remove landmines in a active war zone

[@TysoniusRex]

Egypt: More heavily mined than Afghanistan and Iraq. Afghanistan alone had about 60 million mines after the Russians left. Holy crap.

[@staycalm.]

I do not understand why people use mines when they want the land for themselfs there own children and people if they end up with the land are in just as much danger as the indended targets i would think.

[@kevinrea9340]

Nuts of titanium! Bally hero!

[@canyonroots]

Do any de mining in Africa?

[@lylemiller345]

recreational landmine removal... :) Do not try this at home.

Thank you all who have served 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini

[@michaelsteckling3177]

Hope you guys talk about the Ottawa treaty in this. Seems like nobody is bringing this up.

[@hafsalinda]

Dont go with a 501c3 non profit, Instead go 508c1a faith based orginization.

[@hafsalinda]

No government reporting

[@sole-salbe9581]

In recent times I really wonder what to think of soldiers in general. I truly believe most soldiers in ANY army are decent, honorable men, who are willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for their people. At least that‘s their intentions, but in the end they end up sacrificing themselves and foreigners for weird geopolitical interests. So I think being a soldier is nothing patriotic. You‘re a just a tool for the people at the top, who have no patriotic intentions. Examples would be US-soldiers in Iraq, but now also Russian soldiers in Ukraine. As soon as you fight in another country you can‘t appeal to patriotic reasons IMO. At least in most wars in recent times - there might be some exceptions, like US soldiers in WW2 Would love to hear a soldiers response, maybe I‘m completely wrong

[@jonthinks6238]

Wrong

[@Jack_Redview]

Lmao very wrong

[@Stevethelightingguy]

You can have those opinions, but trying to draw a logical straight line from personal motivations to geopolitics is where you go wrong. I would also argue that Russian and US armies are vastly different in their organizational motivation, it is a false equivalent.

[@archersfriend5900]

You are wrong.

[@Mr-Damage]

[@c123bthunderpig]

Yea it's tedious but US Military has an easy way to do it and we'll probably give it to them like the 100 billion free gear we already have. Everybody is playing the help card with Ukraine, its not our fight.. The big prize for the winners is they get Chernobyl, your not going there I guarantee.

[@michaelpayne9712]

Um....Chernobyl was 'gifted' to Ukraine by the Russkies in the early nineties. You aren't a big fan of keeping-up, I see.

[@c123bthunderpig]

@@michaelpayne9712 do you speak English? Gifted ? It was inherited in 1991 when Soviet Union dissolved and it was part of the Chernoble Exclusion Zone taken over by Ukraine. In 2022 Russia took it back but deserted it again when it was too difficult to occupy because of radiation . I have an empty apartment there you are welcomed to have. Nice try comrade.

[@michaelpayne9712]

Thanks, but keep the apartment. I'm perfectly happy with the rent-free space in your head!
