Recon by fire is a tactic for a reason. Also, if you drag every room in multi level structures like these, it’s SO easy to go through every grenade in the squad halfway through the clearing. Same with explosive breaching charges. Complacency is the biggest challenge though. You clear dozens of rooms/structures with no enemies located, then suddenly the next room/structure is heavily defended and can catch you off guard These operations are truly a mf...

I can imagine the dirty and vicious guerrilla tactics that are possible in urban combat. Would it be fair to say you gotta be a bit sadistic to be able to fight that kind of fight?

[@RetreatHell]

@@yaboidre5672 no. A sadist would be a huge liability in that environment that would put his teammates, their mission, andas well as the rest of the soldiers/Marines in that AO and their overall mission, at risk. You need to be aggressive as hell, yes. But you absolutely also need to be a professional, tactically proficient and very well disciplined warfighter to prevail in the urban environment. This isn’t always achieved of course, because humans are emotionally driven beings and even the best lose their composure and give in to emotions sometimes, especially when they sustain casualties and want to understandably get payback. This is also why it SUCKS to use 18-21 year old kids in war because they’re far more likely to make emotional decisions that place the mission in jeopardy when they smoke a civilian(s) and the media gets ahold of it. However, young men are also the most likely to follow orders to put themselves into harms way without thinking about it or questioning those orders, and we need them to be able to fight wars.

As a US Marine who’s trained with the IDF, i can say the IDF’s CQB tactics are not great, but in fairness 90% of them are reservists with very little formal training

[@koyou22]

Hey brother - IDF reservist here (airborne). It's true that in terms of pure professionalism, there is no comparing the IDF to any non-conscript army. Like you said, most of the fighting force are reservists with every day jobs and families. Thankfully even within the reserves there's a huge range of skill and training, some reserve units are much better trained and equipped than others. What we lack in the basics we make up for with communication, overwhelming numbers, well polished basic tactics, and combined arms with tanks, engineers, the air force and grunts all working in unison. Thankfully fighting modern warfare is complex and our adversaries have not figured it out yet. Don't let the propaganda fool you, Hamas literally can't do anything when we are working properly (which I will admit is not always the case).

[@maxkaplan1307]

I agree with the guy above, most of the army is not the best when it comes to pure CQB (besides SF), but the communication with other forces and the experience in war makes up for it. I can tell you from fighting in Gaza that it works really well. (Nahal Brigade)

It is important to note all Israeli reservists have completed their mandatory 3 year active duty enlistment. There is not an “active reserves” option in the IDF. You finish active duty and then go onto reserves where you participate in 30 days muster once a year. This includes running ops as a line unit. So at the very least IDF reservists were once full active duty. Although we all know skills like CQB and marksmanship are perishable so take that for what you will.

I got a question. Is it more effective to use automatic or semi automatic fire inside a building? Just asking as someone with zero firearm experience. Like what kind of scenario would require fully automatic fire? Sorry if the question seems silly.

[@yungmalaria]

Full auto in most scenarios is for suppressive fire, enemies can’t stick their heads out if there’s bullets constantly flying at them. It’s not a stupid question because too many people just assume a gun being automatic makes it more of a threat over single-fire or a regular self-loading rifle. When it comes to point blank range, it doesn’t usually matter. These are rifle rounds in most cases, so it’s more important to actually hit a target center-mass until they stop being a threat.

[@noname788]

Hey, can you make a video of how soldiers would navigate through a hostel city? I'm asking this because in older traditional tactics (WW2). British infantry for example. They'll conduct building clearnings by completely ignoring all roads and pathways because they saw them as points that expose them to danger, so they'd protizue going from building to building very quickly. I'd like to see how much combat tactics changed since then

[@Forward_Concepts]

I’ll have to think about that

[@jameszahler9575]

The principles here become like playing positional chess. A good portion of chess strategy is denying squares to your opponent -- making them more predictable and giving yourself more room to maneuver.

[@guitarthrasher81]

suppressive and pre fire is key in civilian evacuated designated battlefields . Why send in guys to get mowed down when you can hit the building by air, with tank fire, mg fire, grenades, and really mess up anyone in there before stepping foot. Infantry should go in the building to verify bodies not exchange gun fire ideally. The common CQB tactics taught on KZbin and in modern courses are more for tier 1 or SWAT style teams who conduct direct action surprise raids. Infantry seizing a city in urban warfare is a different beast

[@Forward_Concepts]

I agree…however, really need to define “surprise”

[@guitarthrasher81]

@@Forward_Concepts in a military scenario I guess “surprise” raid would be middle of the night zero dark thirty night vision stuff. In LE maybe a no knock warrant.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

I think this shows why 5.56 has remained the standard infantry cartridge for 60 years now, and why both peer and advesarial militarys have got on board the small caliber high-velocity rifle cartridge bandwagon. As conflicts become more ubanized, we see sustained high-intensity close quarter battles are ammunition intensive. Any rifle round is plenty effective at these distances, most rounds are expended suppressing, and a soldier can suppress a window or a hole in the wall just as effectively with a 5.56 as with a 7.62. Being able to carry twice as much 5.56 keeps them in the fight twice as long. Nobody is stepping out of a doorway with high-velocity rifle rounds cracking through it because it is "just 5.56," and effectiveness at 600 meters has less than zero relevance to infantry doctrine when 99.9% of your engagements are closer to 6 meters than 600.

Sure you probably wont find proper CQB at all times watching these videos, But a lot of people need to understand that the nice, clean, wide, comfortable CQB shoot houses most "experts" train on are NOTHING like you would meet in a real environment, The floor is made up of building debris not stable to even walk on properly, half collapsed doorways, so much shit scattered everywhere, reinforced concrete wires sticking from everywhere, grabbing your gear, limiting your movement and options, add to that the pressure of an actual firefight, grenades being thrown everywhere at you, the collapsed buildings no longer offer a comfortable floor by floor level of threat to cover, every crack and crevice can be a potential place a shooter can fire from, then you get a slightly better idea of what CQB is like in Gaza. Sure textbook CQB would be to have that clean, cool looking stack (well there is no room for the stack to position) and they enter in order, moving to their designated corners and collapsing the room (well you can't walk that corner because there is a giant metal wire sticking from the wall, and if you dont look where you walk you probably trip because you walk on giant chunks of broken concrete), it just doesn't work. It may work for some swat units in some neat suburbia house in the states, not in half broken post air raid dense city. We currently adapt to this type of battlefield, it is a very aggressive type of CQB, i am not talking about being deliberate with moving into the room in a stack all cool looking and fast, that shit will get you killed, we employ a lot of firepower, we spray rooms, we throw grenades, we shoot from the outside using shoulder fired rockets etc etc. and if we absolutely don't have to, we just bomb the shit out of it, because screw dying over some collapsed room in some collapsed building. I think what we produce and learn from the war in Gaza will define a lot of what we know of future of CQB.

[@-Belshazzar-]

Idf never uses camouflage pattern for several reasons, main reason though is that most of the enemies we fight have no official uniform and they use any and all clothes from civilian lothes to any camouflage pattern available out there, so it's mostly to avoid green on green or the other way around not shooting an enemy and get shot instead. Other assumption is (and I can attest that it usually works) we have in Isreal anything from desert to forests to urban in a very small area, meaning you would need different camouflage uniforms in one deployment, but what happens is that with dust the uniforms pick up the environment and usually blend (this works more in the desert areas though), I guess in this scenario camouflage is not really an issue to begin with, but as you get more dusty you would blend in with rubble around you

There’s very little from Gaza. I would say Israel is a more formalized military. Almost all of their footage that has been released has been released by the IDF. I’m quite sure they have rules and regulations governing this…even tho individual soldiers can record. Ukraine also has volunteers and nearly anyone fighting for them…more opportunity to record and release

[@yungmalaria]

Both Ukranians and Russians have a culture of recording everything, usually dash cams so they won’t be cheated by corrupt law enforcement or insurance scammers. Also a much larger front with more combatants on both sides in Ukraine vs the Gaza conflict. So theres is less oversight overall, which is a concern. Israel cares more about optics than Russia. The constant recording and posting of war footage in the Ukraine conflict has legitimately got people killed by leaking info.

[@MrUNCLESAM84]

The same situation we encountered in Fallujah with visibility and yes it affect decision making, our biggest fear was blue on blue that's why we had a breach team and an overwatch team, under any circumstances overwatch team were not allowed to enter unless they get the clear order or they get no response from the breach team, we moved inside in a steady pace, like a single body to avoid friendly fire. The second thing is the difference in structure between buildings here in the US and the ones in the middle east, here law enforcement are taught that walls aren't a cover because they're made outta drywall (cardboard, sticks and plaster) while walls in the middle east are a cover because they're made outta steel reinforced concrete, 7.62 can't even make it through however there's the risk of ricochet, I got shot and almost lost my eye because of that. Last but not least you're right about the SAW, like wise I'm not familiar with Israeli weaponry but in general any belt fed weapon will "sometimes" decide to take a vacation (unless it's a Russian MG 😅) Finally I have a question, wouldn't be better if they use tiny drones to at least locate where the threats are? I saw a video recently of SWAT team here in the US (I forgot where exactly but I can look it up) they deployed a small drone inside the house and unfortunately they found the suspect deceased. I think this is much better than trying to gather Intel by traditional ways like looking inside or sending huge EOD robots, especially in buildings like the ones in Gaza where windows are shattered in which it'll give them better visibility.

Negev has the ability to use a magazine and unlike the minimi the negev magazine is very reliable (the belt fed is also reliable but obviously not as a magazine) in that sense the negev is almost like a heavier AR (for an lmg is actually not that heavy) with the ability to also shoot single fire. It also have several variants, for example a short barrel variant more suitable for cqb (also has a 7.62 variant, though the common issued one is 5.56) It's quite an awesome weapon platform. Ex idf combat medic, not a negev operator but I had some awesome time in the range with it. Regarding drone, they do use them but obviously not everyone has them, but the reason you're not really seeing footage of it is usually intel field security, though I think some footage is floating around the internet

Semper Fi brother. 3/5 Lima Fallujah Marine here. It’s funny how the internet commandos are still doing speed aggression surprise, while those of us who’ve actually done no shit CQB don’t. Day 1 of the push was SAS. By day 2 it was all prepping rooms and pieing corners. Things go way differently when real rounds are coming back at you.

[@ray32245mv]

This is not "CQB". This a "deer drive" - and a massacre. Slow walking in broad daylight with no attempt to move close to cover, or to maintain security - because there is no one in those other buildings with intent to engage them, and they know it. No use of suppressors - because their primary objective is to push civilians into open areas and camps where they can be killed more easily with bombs, the loud gunfire is more effective because the civilians can tell where they are and attempt to flee. Blind firing into civilian homes - because they want anyone who doesn't move to die, while being able to claim they "didn't see the civilians". Of course you didn't. YOU DIDN"T LOOK. Long bursts of machine gun fire with no sweep, after throwing grenades - trying to penetrate cover where civilians are likely trapped and unable to escape. Standing broadside in doorways/windows and firing - no expectation of return fire. No use of mirrors, flexible cameras, thermal vision, corner shot devices, robots or drones to look within structures and rooms- no expectation of encountering enemy combatants.

Hopefully you'll do the decent thing and do a video reviewing the close quarter tactics of the Palestinians, I think that's only fair don't you.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Is that a decent thing

[@yungmalaria]

Because so many random Hamas fighters have cameras affixed to their guns and full squads of dudes with the same stuff, right? Can’t just watch some low resolution video of a dude shooting an AK down a block for a minute or so and say thats comparable to a bodycam from a soldier in an organized army.

[@Giladbriggs2222]

As a reservist sf in the idf , after fighting in gaza for three months. A few stuff that need to be noted: 1. A war like this hasnt been fought since ww2 - the urban setting and the preparedness of the enemy combined with the fact that hamas are a geurilla group using their citizens against us. 2. Massive hostage situation unfolding in real time with every step in gaza affecting the percentage of rescue 3. This war on gaza was unplanned, the expectation was from hizbollah un lebanon and the war plan was drawn up in three weeks- the commander in the field had to improvise way more than a normal commander would

@@smergenshmiedtzel9715 I'm glad you reminded me of that video. That video had some of the best tactics in it...I should do one on that.

[@yungmalaria]

Honestly the single shot pre-fire around corners seems more like skiddish conscripts than an actual tactic. If they were actually intending to suppress a target, they would continuously putting down fire I would assume. Israel has mandatory military service, so I already expect some amateurish stuff on individual levels. I’m sure this is the first a lot of these soldiers have seen live combat.

[@Forward_Concepts]

I agree it’s not great

[@H3ZZAA]

2:30 maybe move it out the way whilst u have 7 other guys cover you?

[@Forward_Concepts]

Basically clear as much as possible from the outside, should give you the confidence to work the problem while not getting shot. Yes, expose yourself to the least amount of angles as possible while someone covers the other angle…once it’s out of the way work the angle.

[@lemorelgambino9882]

You know what’s surprising in none of these videos not saying that you aren’t a professional, you are, naturally but I would like you and other vets to really grill the importance of bounding from cover to cover but also watching your speed and your terrain, because guys be realistic you won’t be thinking about where you running where rounds are going off so please just be mindful of where you headed, where you walking or running and watch your STEP you will trip over shit, like you seriously need to be having as much eyes looking up at the roofs and windows as you are the ground, just saying this because not a lot of people talk about it, not to single out this content creator but I’d like to know you guys opinion on that

[@gmz1997]

Better common sense approach with this video. So sick of the KZbin tactical BS with unrealistic scenarios and environments that are essential card board walls when it comes to bullets. Terrible advice is given to people who are seeking information on how to deal with threats. Room clearing their own home is dangerous for the obvious reasons and that is bullets easily pass through walls in both directions. So either exit the home or hold up in a defensive posture with 911 on the phone is my advice. The idea an opponent is an untrained armed guy sitting in a corner wait for you to come through a door is unrealistic. After 20 plus years of war with an enemy that had no tactical advantage running around in PJ's, sandals and with small arms, gave these tac teams who had full security elements with them, a false sense of bravado. Like the crack heads woken up at 2AM by SWAT. High fives all around. Ukraine is a great example of what CQB will look like with a formidable enemy. The old doctrine of frag and clear or breach point entry through a wall, is what is needed in these full on war environments. But today I here our Marines are not issued grenades. Shocking to me as it was the doctrine with CQB in the 80's. Our first shoot house, unit built back then exposed the reality of the dangers of CQB in urban locations. Watching rounds easily exit the plywood into the impact area with the splintering and fragments flying everywhere. The meaning of concealment the message and nothing more. Take a look at a movie call Best in Hell for an example of what WW3 CQB will look like. A real eye opener when each side is equally proficient. Now of course a lot of what your channel puts out is great information for sure. I just think more situational information needs to be provided for those seeking this information so they can learn when to employ such tactics a when not to. I know this shit is sexy as hell but one or two man clearing with no security or ass on call, not advisable. I can think of very few situation where it would be warranted. Great video. As for the question of entering and clearing that room. If recon by fire didn't disturb anyone in that room, throw in a rock. If you think your enemy is one with nerves of steel, then frag out! lol

[@Forward_Concepts]

Good points. Got my laughing a few times. I’d like to add that in LE most bad guys are untrained..it doesn’t make them less dangerous in the corner waiting for you with a gun…which is demonstrated from time to time.

I’d be interested to know this guys experience. If he has 0 close combat experience employing techniques that he disputes then his arguments hold no weight

[@Forward_Concepts]

First of all. There are no “arguments” being made. Secondly, if you don’t like it move along. Third, stop being lazy and at least look around my channel and website for a few minutes. And lastly, by your logic we should get rid of all police trainers who have never done X before…let’s say, having been involved in an active shooter event. Good luck

[@josephcecil1979]

@@Forward_Concepts I’ve looked around. Appears that you are a police officer. I also didn’t say that I didn’t like the content. However in some of your other videos you dispute tactics employed hostage rescue, direct action, tier one operators. The guys who DO have active shooter experience, hostage rescue, and have employed the tactics. It just seems odd you would dispute them if you have little to no experience. I would agree that it isn’t a good idea to have police trainers who have never been in a close quarters battle teaching close quarters tactics.

[@Forward_Concepts]

@@josephcecil1979 Tucking your rifle under your arm as you make entry or riding doors into rooms without ever taking .2 seconds to make sure he's simply not going to shoot you at the first opportunity...is a bad idea. If those are Tier 1 tactics that i am disputing* ....then so be it. Neither one of those ideas are wise. Everything works when the bad guy is literally not waiting to pull the trigger on you. I'm not telling anyone anything SEAL Team 6 members (Tray Lindsy switching shoulders) isn't teaching. The things I am talking about is common practice amongst nearly every SWAT team. Just because it's not "their" way doesn't mean it's a dispute. You can't tell me "that's dumb your disputing shooting the hostage taker from the doorway, don't stop get in there..." then I play a video of CAG doing exactly that. It's weird I know. A seal Team 6 member would never throw a grenade on an HR right? Google Norgrove. The point is...forget who it's coming from and ask yourself it if makes sense....make your own decisions based off that.

[@rodrigocorona9673]

You're giving these guys too much credit. There's no tactics going on other than blindly shooting into rooms, windows, and furniture. There could be non-combatants in these houses and there seems to be no care whatsoever. It seems that their M.O is just clearing houses by spraying them whether someone's in there or not. If there was enemy shooting atvthem from the buildings then why are they just walking across the open kill zone? They're just wasting away ammo since they're clearly not paying for it lol. You make great points as far as CQB goes but the IDF should be more of a what not to do example. If this was a video of Marines they would all be facing a court martial 😂. These are clearly under trained guys too scared to actually clear a room without emptying a couple mags first. Great points but horrible examples.

[@Forward_Concepts]

What did I give them credit for exactly…this has nothing to do with their ability…just point some things out.
