Ukrainian soldiers fight off Russians in battle for Bakhmut - 'Orcs jumped into our trenches'

Extraordinary footage posted by a Ukrainian battalion shows what is happening in the trenches on the frontline.
The video shows soldiers from the ‘DaVinci Wolves’ defending their positions on the outskirts of Bakhmut.
The commander with the body-worn camera is in constant communication with someone who has an oversight of the situation.

If I ever had to fight in the trenches I would want to be under that Commander that man was really good leading his troops. he did not let his emotions take over. he kept his men focused on the goal and not from huddling in a hole. God bless this man. I pray he makes it home to his family.

6+) В курсе ли американцы и граждане Европы что интеллект и предрасположенность к фашизму никак не связаны. У руских нет иммунитета к пропаганде, даже если есть высокий интеллект. Рецидив имперского величия будет повторяться многократно, пока росейская федерация существует как единое государство. 7) Что США думают о руских политических диссидентах заброшенных ФСБ и формирующих у американского истеблишмента положительное отношение к русской культуре с целью сохранения империи в текущих границах после Путина? Представители "русской оппозиции", такие как Шендерович, Навальный (его семья и коллеги), Гудков, Ходорковский, Латынина, Собчак и десятки других несут наибольшую опасность, так как по своей сути являются законсервированной в Европе кремлевской интеллигенцией, которая прямо не поддерживают войну, но завуалированно делает все, чтобы Запад и США помогли им сохранить русский мир в текущих его границах. 8) Знают ли американцы и европейцы, что верноподданичество, шовинизм и ЛЮТАЯ нетерпимость к чужому успеху - вот главные особенности всех характеров, описанных в русских произведениях? Это основной нарратив, который руские экспортируют на Запад. Вот что писал руский поэт А.С. Пушкин своему сокурснику - "Я конечно презираю отечество мое с головы до ног, но мне досадно, если иностранец разделяет со мною это чувство". Достоевский - это не русская культура. Достоевский - это профессиональная государственная пропаганда в царской россии русского образа жизни. 9) Известно ли американцам что Соловьев, Киселев, Скобеева и Симоньян (главные ведущие в prime-time на центральных TV каналах россии последние 10-15 лет) не виноваты в расчеловечивании (дегуманизации) россиян? Каждый день в своих эфирах они угрожают американцам и европейцам, только потому что простые русские "люди" (80-84%) мечтают нанести по вам ядерный удар. Путин - это не просто президент, Путин - это отражение русской ментальности, это вожак стада, с абсолютно криминальным сознанием. В своем подавляющем большинстве русские хотят только одного - крови и реванша за распад СССР. Русские не смогут смирится с вашим успехом никогда. 10) Понимают ли в США разницу между Геббельсом и ведущим аналитических программ Соловьевым, с которым его часто сравнивают? Если Геббельс действительно вдохновлял немецкое общество на тотальную войну, то в россии было все наоборот: простой русский народ вдохновил Путина на войну против цивилизации, не дав Владимир Владимировичу потратить награбленное. Бенефициарами проекта "специальная военная операция" являются простые руские "люди".

[@alexmikh828]

11+) Понимают ли в США что войну можно остановить только развалив Россию на суверенные государства? Что плохого в 30-50 независимых государствах, которые были под оккупацией русских сотни лет??? Зачем нужно внешнее управление? Чтобы что? Русских воспитывали цари, воспитывали коммунисты, воспитывали демократы и нечего не воспитали. Вы хотите потратить еще триллионы долларов или евро налогоплатильщиков, чтобы усмирить бешенную собаку? Не проще ли и не гуманнее ли будет ее усыпить? Я не знаю ни одного украинца убитого американцем или англичанином. Но я знаю тысячи украинцев, замученных и убитых рускими тварями, под эгидой руского мира. Не бурятского, не чеченского, не российского, а РУССКОГО. Именно руские гонят бурятов на смерть а не наоборот. 12) Почему США бояться, что утечет ядерное оружье? В РФ всего несколько баз хранения, их сложно проконтролировать? Продукты даже слабого распада оставляют радиационный след? Нет ничего опаснее чем оружье в руках русских имперцев ненавидящих весь мир. Что думают на счет денуклеаризации (denuclearization) российской федерации? Смогут ли помочь с утилизацией ядерных зарядов, у которых давно истёк срок годности? 13) США и Европа обеспокоены тем что не смогут справится с беженцами в случае гражданской войны в россии??? США и Европа рассматривают сценарий, при котором регионы, оккупированные рускими просто отделятся на основании признаков национального самоопределения? От куда утверждение что будет гражданская война? Возможно возникнет несколько небольших вялотекущих конфликтов из-за спорных территорий (Чечня-Дагестан и т.д.). Что они думают об этом... 14) США обеспокоены тем что распад РФ усложнит логистику сырья и повысит цены? Да, гнать за бесценок сырье больше никто не будет. Может дело и правда в том что Западу просто нужна одна помойка с централизованным управлением, которую выгодно доить? Верно ли предположение, что США ищут нового претендента на трон в России, в среде так называемых "хороших русских", умело притворяющихся русской оппозицией? 15) Куда при таком развитии событий вы денете русских фашистов, составляющих примерно 75-84% (зависит от региона) всего взрослого населения россии? Вы думаете русские захотят свободы? В этом ваше основное заблуждение. Русские ненавидят всех, кто пытается снять с них кандалы. И дело не в воспитании. Фашизм уйдет только после распада империи. Если русизм (RussiZm = Fascism) не осудить, то русские не сделают правильных выводов. 16 PS) Помогите уничтожить pyccкую фашистскую империю и освободить оккупированные народы России. Иначе вашим детям придется расплачиваться за ваши ошибки, но уже своей кровью.

He is constantly getting updates from the drone, so he has some situational awareness - that is also huge advantage. This is not a trench war of WW2 or WW1. That is why he was so effective.

[@1truthbegettingtold275]

Situational awareness from the air also existed in WW1. Planes, balloons, birds being disturbed flying up from their ground meal of a dead soldier. Eyes and telescopes turn more effectively than the limited camera angle of a drone.

Sure we aren't getting the same "20,000 men killed in the first action" kind of brutality we saw in WW1, but they're doing an excellent job showing us the gut-wrenching reality of what these men see every day. Trench warfare has changed since then, instead of pounding the lines with HOURS of artillery followed by massed infantry, it's now a constant state of vigilance with on and off bombings, drone strikes, units or squads of infantry and vehicle support. The tactics changed true, but the feeling of it hasn't.
