"The fact that the Russian mercenaries were awarded a medal for merely SURVIVING the engagement is probably the biggest compliment the Russian military has given to the American military" - A commenter on the original video

[@TOX1Cparadise]

The part that's not mentioned in the video, and that you brought up for a second, is that as soon as the first missile hit the convoy, the U.S. Military started jamming all comms in the area. There was no calling for help, no backup coming, and they couldn't even communicate between themselves on the ground because radios didn't work. They heard nothing except the explosions, incoherent shouting from their comrades, and the empty static of a radio that was made completely useless. They were in the dark and death was hunting them.

What's more, this would not go into a full-scale war with Russia since the Russians had denied any of their troops being there, so it allowed the U.S. to operate freely with little risk apart from the troops involved on both sides themselves.

None of these are good examples. Russia has lost on a tactical level many times, yes, their military isn’t invincible, but Russia is good at playing the long game in war. They will simply wait an enemy out until they starve to death, or call ceasefires until they can go for another round. You can push them out of Moscow and they still have the majority of their country left.

The US response reminds me of something I read about the battle of Tali-Ihantala, where Russian tank formations were frequently hammered into oblivion on their staging area before the attack had even began. The eyewitness accounts say that T-34s were turned upside down by the artillery barrages, but not sure how much "crayon" is on that story and whether it's even physically possible.

[@eerokutale277]

It is estimated that #Soviets lost some 600 tanks and 300 aircrafts during the Battle of Tali-Ihantala, after the battle #Stalin and his cronies decided that it would be too costly to conquer #Finland.

[@tonsssedell4318]

That certainly would be plausible. Russian tanks back then were even smaller so they could have ejected the entire tank instead of just the turret nowadays. Or there could have been piles of munitions going off from artillery fire making bigger boom big enough to throw tanks like beer cans. The way Russians handled and handle hazardous materials is unsafe by any modern Western - or WWII Finnish - wartime standards.

[@Asbestosman123]

The video depicting the Hawker Hunter flying under tower bridge at the very end was a real incident. It was a protest flight by a lone RAF pilot who basically thought, fuck it, why not?

Long story short is orders came on high from Mattis. To summarize, the orders were to "Make an example and drive the point home". Oh and from what I understand, that one injury on our side was technically from incoming fire.. more specifically taking cover from said fire they twisted their ankle.

What’s weird to me is that Gen Surovikin was the one who the American Gen called (3 times), and he said he had no people there. Essentially Surovikin let those Wagner mercs get schwacked, didn’t even bother to warn them off from trying to take the oil plant. Today Surovikin and Wagner boss Prigozhin are close according to a lot of open source information and Ukrainian experts. I guess deniability mattered more than the lives of those men, and those were the well trained Wagner mercs, not the ones they recruit out of prisons. Listening to the original intercepted conversation, they sounded a lot more defeated than the english translation. Btw, same Surovikin that withdrew all the Russian troops from Kherson, the part of the region west of the Dnipro River. Then he got fired/replaced of course.

@@ricardosaavedraflores3038 The US military decimated the Vietcong, and pulled out of the war when the government lost public support. They withdrew from the war and left the South Vietnamese to pick up where the US left off. Basically it was a military victory but considered a complete failure due to the overreaching goal not being met. This is the same thing for Afghanistan. The US military successfully occupied the region for 20 years but was not able to build a local government/miitary that would not fold within days of withdrawing. In the case of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, that's a conventional war, where the United States military would thrive and be able to accomplish its mission within a week of declaration of war. We can see this is true when the United States walked through Sadams military, which was the 4th largest military in the world at the time, in just 6 days. However, you are correct, a nuclear response is possible but rather unlikely. By nuclear retaliation, Russia would condemn itself to complete annihilation instead of just admitted defeat with the Ukrain conflict.

I feel like the US having been mostly at peace (outside of the middle east conflicts) has made a lot of people underestimate what our military can do.

Needless to say, that would be EXTREMELY bad for you. We haven't been in outright combat since the Iraq war, and that was over so fast I think the point was lost.

People really belive still today that the USA have superior weapons ? No country have Superior weapons, okey it was a lie the superior weapon is a Nuclear weapon. There is no Bulletproof west that will safe any soldier on this planet from a gunfire from a M16/Ak47 and this weapons are old. There is no Tank on the world that can survive direct hits and will destroy a enemy line by its own. There is no Air Plane that is immortal to Anti Air Defense missles or Gunfire. There is nothing Safe from direct Missle attacks. Hope people understand that the most powerfull country in the world is China and Indonesia if you do not count nuclear weapons because of the amount of soldiers they can provide. It have nothing to do with how new your rifle is or how modern your Airplane is, if you have to face 1 vs 50 then good luck even with the newest tech and the enemy got standart equipment then good luck.

I think this rus-Ukr war will be the most humiliating fight in the history for russia)))))

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

It may go faster than expected. Underfed, low moral, bad equiped orcs, VS nato trained and equiped Ukrainers with High moral and a plan. I just hope many surrender. Their only chance...... 🇳🇱❤🇺🇦

[@Tormund_Giantsbrain]

We could've stopped Putin in syria. But alas, the "iraq derangement syndrome" was in full force. Appeasement and isolationism doesn't work.

[@jaydawg-we6yc]

The Russian pilots didn't want to deal with the F-22, they would have no chance, would be shot down and not know from where, they would never see the F-22

[@mercury200efi]

ummm this was a combination of 2 scenerios, 1. us military was making a hard statement, especially using a damn b-52, an leaving 1 tank an 1 transport was on purpose to see who would claim them in the following days, 2. the poor boys there at the rig was hot, no alcohol, or women, already pissed off at the world an bored. then low an behold someone came out wanting to play an they were given the green light an also called their buddies to the party that were near by, unfortunatly they dont party well with outsiders , just my thinking

[@Hammer1987]

There has been tension between the Russian military and Wagner Group for a long time, so I'm not very surprised that nobody passed along intel about US forces in the area to the Wagner guys. I wouldn't even rule out the possibility that the Russians' denial that they had forces in the area was a deliberate *føck u* to the Wagner Group. Though, I can't imagine they predicted that the US forces would use the opportunity to make an example out of them by going all biblical.

[@mosesmaliyamungu-ox6wk]

Russia is no match for the US military and that isn't because of equipment, it's because of quality of the soldiers.

[@grolstum211]

You mean highschool drop outs and obese mcdonald rednecks , latinos and blacks from the poorest families in the country ? US soldiers quality has never been tested since vietnam ( where a bunch of 4 feet 90 lbs farmers with shoes made out of tires and old weapons raped their butthole so hard they put the word ptsd in their vocabulary). The middle east, afghanistan, kosovo-serbia was just bombing and air superiority. I do not trust the modern US soldier. US recruiters can't find anyone to join the army and continuously lower the requirements for weight, athletic performance, iq

[@Bucketchicken03]

When I heard it was a group of Delta and Rangers.....Oops.

[@stefans.3940]

That´s the definition of totaly overkill ^^ The last Strike was a Dog that pissed on the dead bodyparts. 🤣

[@MadJack_I_]

A perverse smile comes to my face when I think of how full pants of the Russians are when the Ah-64's approached the Battlefield.

[@SausageBausage]

Oil refineries are very strategic and global positions, there are only 700 in the world.

[@MaticTheProto]

i like how the ac 130 was literally made to terrorize defenseless civilians but also works against the russians because of the state of disrepair their forces are in

[@1onlyislandboy726]

Representative of US: Yo bro this you? Representative of Russia: …Nah can’t be…they winning though? Representative: hold up I’ll let you know *hangs up*

[@ilenvantev6170]

So,NOT a specialist,but what i think happened- The US already knew some Russians were moving in that direction with unclear intentions,maybe some guy called his mom: - Mom im taking an oilfield in a few hours,make dinner blyat. So the Americans put their birds on "Ready?" During that time they prolly tracked some Russians in their base talking about it so they were like,"Is this how WW3 will start,over a stupid oil field?". The moment the first arty started firing the American commander was probably like "This is it!I want everything and everyone in the air!Private,strap me to a rocket,im going in!" They called the Russians just to make sure and of course they shat the pant ,but the funny shaped birds were already on the air so...you-do-you-boo. Again,not an army person,but god am i happy we are in NATO.

[@Mugotugo]

Not sure how accurate some of the info is, I believe B52s were not used for example

[@rudymarmaro]

I believe it was only about 30 US SOFs there initially. There was a quick reaction force of about 16 US Marines that was sent to resupply and reinforce them. So it was less than 50 US forces against 500. We smoked them good!

[@stischer47]

It's a translation of Russian communications.
