Marine reacts to Team Wiping out Spetsnaz in CQB

[@AienAristeuein]

The amount of hard work and effort that goes into taking a house, all the fighting, planning and then "boom", one artillery strike. Respect. And rest in peace, to the kia.

[@disposabull]

This is exactly why saying "fight like NATO" really doesn't apply in a situation where the enemy has radios, mortars, artillery, MLRS and air support. Sure you can be the Seal Team Six of CQB, but if you spend 5 minutes clearing a building, flutter kicks don't make you good enough to take a 152mm shell to the dick and walk it off. Cutting the building full of Spetsnaz in half with 20-30mm chain gun? Better. A couple of tank rounds? Better. Even a Humvee with a Mk19 going to work on the building would be better than the end result of this tactic. Don't clear rooms, blow up buildings and gtfo.

[@jarivuorinen3878]

@@disposabull It's always risky to clear building by foot but sometimes there are valid reasons to do so. Building may be too sturdy to reasonably destroy. This is exactly the reason why drywall factory in Bakhmut was fought over for so long. It received massive amount of artillery battering but there it still stands, unable to operate of course but it's valuable cover in the area. In close quarters like this it's also possible that building houses valuable intel and you want your hands on it. There are surely other reasons like protecting civilians, for example Bakhmut can't reasonably be leveled completely because there are still estimated 4000-5000 civilians in the city. There could be human shield situation as well. Otherwise I completely agree with you that leveling a residential building like this is the way to go, if you have means to do so.

[@Fergus_0703]

@@disposabull except in this situation, they didn’t know there are Russians in the building until it was too late. You can’t just level all buildings without making sure there are no civilians or enemies in them. After knowing there are enemies on the house, they still can’t pull out and have a tank deal with it since the point man was shot and was trapped inside. So other than that, the commentator above me stated all the other reasons why CQB tactics are important and a 155 mm shell can’t solve everything.

[@Darwinist]

@@disposabull I do not doubt at all that had they figured out the house was barricaded by an entire squad of elite infantry before they went in they would have hung back and dismantled the structure with AT-4s and other RPG weapons. The whole thing happened because their lead man got hit and separated from the rest of the squad before they realized the full gravity of the situation, and they were fighting as much to get to his position to extract him as to clear the entire building. That led to them spending way too long in one place and thus becoming vulnerable to the artillery strike. "Leave no man behind" is a worthy principle and crucial for morale....but sometimes it comes back to bite you in the ass.

[@disposabull]

@@Darwinist I agree with you and the other posters about the start of events. But after the first guy goes down instead of suppressing the building, grabbing the one wounded and retreating they pushed forward, won the fight, got whacked with artillery. Got to be a better tactic than this... Found the enemy? Good. Now run away and blow the building up from your safe space. Attempting CQB without support against an enemy who can rage quit this earth by dropping artillery on everyone isn't a good path forward. I admit I'm an armchair general and I don't know what was happening inside of the building or how realistic evac & retreat was. Every guy here is NATO trained infantry. When you are in the position of the Taliban, (no support) against an enemy that has support (NATO) using NATO tactics isn't going to end well.

They need proper training time as a team. What is happening is that they are being rushed into battle with no preparation time. When they were breaching they should have carried out a series of distractions so as to move the focus of the defenders. Everybody piling in one doorway at the same time is a very linear path that defenders can hold out against.

[@bighands69]

The more time you can get to plan a breach the more likelihood of success and less likelihood of fatalities. That is why it is so important to train train train so that you have an automatic process that just takes effect when carrying out breaches. Those windows should have been exploited so as to create a distraction point which would split the focus of the defensive team. When they know that you are coming to enter by one point such as a doorway it means their whole focus and fire focus will be on that entrance.

If you have the initiative you have to move fast, spill in and around like water. If the team stalls and you don't move, it's way too easy for the enemy to recover especially in CQB. Brave men, hats off to them. 🇺🇸

"Violence of action", they were screwed at the doorway when they lost momentum. The rollup door on the side of the building was shown to be loose when the grenade blast went off, possible secondary entry point. Also would utilize those mannequins on the side. Wish them the best, that is a tough job.

[@animalxINSTINCT89]

It's wild how long these guys were trying to dig the russians out of there before the building was destroyed. I remember watching footage from Iraq of a similar situation and within minutes they had called a Bradley in to level the structure, and that was against some regular insurgents, not a squad of russian spec ops

[@agelessrebellion8271]

normally US forces wont do the rom to room fighting. its too messy for their liking and completely understandable. if given the chance they will far sooner drop the whole damn building in one go rather then clear it. in Ukraine thats not generally an option from what i hear. either there is no air cover, no support or just no ammo at the moment for a random fire mission.

[@brolohalflemming7042]

I think that was their mistake. I saw the opening engagement where they fired at the BMP. Three times, from exactly the same position. Then milled around in the same yard with the same feature they'd been using for 'cover'. Given artillery, mortars and drones have been a feature, I think they really should have done more fire and movement because they stayed in the same spot for far too long. Sadly, the artillery that eventually showed up was inevitable. Like Ageless said, it's far safer to not breach and instead use your own artillery or mortars to deal with the threat. But Ukraine either doesn't have the capability to support their ground troops like this, or isn't using it correctly.

This is a rural store and everything that could be useful for life in the village was sold in it - food, clothes, building materials. It was for clothes that there were mannequins. I'm from Ukraine. Thank you.

[@yjfuykyil]

Also, we have to realise that Ukraine is fighting so we don't have to. The reason why Finland is joining NATO and I don't have to worry about having to defend against a russian invasion is that Ukraine didn't roll over and has made a heroic effort to defend their homeland and freedom against the invading russians. The RuAF are suffering losses that will take years, if not well over a decade to recover from, severely diminishing their ability to threaten the peace of europe for years to come, and all that the collective west has had to do is supply (mostly surplus) materiel and training. Anyone with half a brain cell should see that we should give Ukraine all the support they need, as the return on investment is security and stability for years and years.

[@LateNightRewrites]

UA is not worth kicking off a nuclear war. Z was offered very favorable peace terms for the war he started but he refused. He said we in America will have to send our sons and daughters to fight there? Nah bro, UA is just not that important to the west.

By the way we pushed RU into. The arms of China through this whole debacle when in reality China is a MUCH more existential threat to the west. They literally state this openly.

[@yjfuykyil]

@@LateNightRewrites Should've seen it coming. Even the russians are open about the fact that some imaginary NATO aggression had nothing to do with the invasion. It's russian imperialism, and they're not even hiding it. Your dream about russia helping with China shows you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, or about russia.

Anyone in the West standing with Russia is just stupid or just degenerate Commies. "I want to warn Americans” "As a people, you are very naive about Russia and its intentions. You believe because the Soviet Union no longer exists, Russia is now your friend. It isn't, and I can show you how the SVR [formerly KGB] is trying to destroy the U.S. even today and even more than the KGB did during the Cold War." “the Cold War never ended." The American people, however, are not fond of listening.” -Spymaster, double agent and Russian defector Sergei Tretyakov “I do not understand how one can speak of improved relations with Russia. She is run by people who do not comprehend what such a word means. You may delude yourselves that you have good relations with them, but for them it means that they can pressure you even more, and demand even more. This pressure will last as long as you are under their control. They are especially interested in seeing you divided and quarrelling amongst yourselves. (...) They are the descendants of the Cheka and the KGB, and, as such, they have their own specific mentality. They do not understand what normal inter-state relations mean. For them any other country can [only] be either an enemy, or an agent. Besides these two criteria there is no room for partners or friends. These heirs of the Soviet services do not, because they cannot, have a Western mentality, which assumes that if two sides agree to something, they carry out their obligations. For Russia’s current rulers such a policy is unattractive. They believe that they must act aggressively. If you give them your finger, they will take your entire arm.” -Soviet dissident, Vladimir Bukovsky
