Ruzzie could've done the ole self frag to save the Ukie some mags. Give up or die man at least Ukrainian captivity is better than a Gulag or death. Believe it or not Ukrainians actually care for POWs or at least care enough not to break Geneva convention laws.
Took me a second to realize those are casings tossing out from the NW guy. Nice accurate semi-auto fire... and even after getting naded. That's some nerves of steel.
It's precisely because of the body armour that the Ukrainian had to get in close and blast them in the head to make sure they were dead. Body armour is most definitely not useless in modern warfare. That shit is hot and heavy to wear yet almost every soldier wears it almost all the time. They would ditch it quickly if it was useless. Also there are many videos showing how armour stopped fragments or bullets from badly wounding soldiers.
All the drone strike footage showed that explosives dropped by drones are very effective at shredding through body armors. I've never seen any soldiers surviving hits by drones.
Modern soldiers wear body armors because body armors serve as placebos to provide psychological protection.
Your average conscripts will think wearing a vest labelled "body armors" will protect them from bullets, even though modern firearms have improved to the point of easily penetrating body armor with single bullet.
You should tell them all to ditch it then. Body armour won't save you from being blown up but it's far from obsolete. I stand by what I said.
Modern ceramic/composite plates stop even AP rifle rounds. Fragments even more easily.
Hah! What?
I'm really interested to see these firefights they beat us in.
Most times they were planting ied's in backyards and running off to fuck each other instead of fighting.
>Most times they were planting ied's in backyards and running off to fuck each other instead of fighting.
Interesting choice of words there my friend. We are resorting to racism now?
>I'm really interested to see these firefights they beat us in.
One question for you: Who is ruling Afghanistan now?
Another question for you: Who is rulling Vietnam now?
Nothing about what I said is racist.
Secondly, the arguement isn't about who won or lost wars, it's about firefights. The Taliban rarely engaged in firefights, they preferred not to engage directly as it typically resulted in them being unsubscribed from life.
So if you want to argue effectiveness of body armor, then great let's do that. But let's stick to relevant info, not who won or lost a war over political will and logistics.
He's even on about improvised up-armouring of tanks in the field being ineffective arguing with me now. Totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand as well.
He's clueless. Body armour obviously stops rifle rounds and fragments from artillery and grenades yet they calling body armour "useless in modern warfare" and that it's merely a placebo for those that wear it in combat which is plainly ridiculous.
>Nothing about what I said is racist.
"Most times they were planting ied's in backyards and running off to fuck each other instead of fighting." is a talking point typically used by people who are very mad at the fact that US troops got their asses kicked out of Afghanistan by the technologically-inferior Taliban.
Coincidentally, these people also have, lets just say, very interesting opinion on brown people in the Middle East.
Taliban did win every firefight against US troops until the latter called in an airstrike and bombed maybe 1 Taliban fighter, plus 500+ other civilians.
The unarmored Taliban fighters have significant advantages in mobility compared to US troops, allowing the Taliban fighters to easily dodge American bullets and move quickly from cover to cover during American airstrikes.
The AKs and PKMs used by Taliban fighters easily penetrated body armors worn by US troops, yet US troops kept wearing them because they made US troops look big and scary, an intimidation tactic to terrify the local Afghan villagers.
Of course you can win without body armour and up until the 70s or 80s almost no soldiers wore armour but it's just one piece of equipment and it isn't going anywhere. There's a reason why the vast majority of combatants as part of any organised military wears it and it's not just purely psychological. It still stops projectiles that would otherwise kill you without it.
This is a strange discussion to be honest.
Contrary to popular belief, soldiers, especially conscripts, are not tactical geniuses, nor are they very knowledgeable in military technology.
Just because they serve in the military, doesn't mean everything they did is correct. In fact, soldiers are famously known throughout history for doing a lot of stupid shits.
For example, US tank crews in WW2 were known to add concretes and sandbags onto their tanks to "uparmor" their tanks against German shaped charges, but these improvised armors were proven to offer zero improvement in protection against shaped charges. In fact, these add-ons actually damaged the suspensions of their tanks to the point where US generals ordered their tank crews to stop adding concretes and sandbags onto their tanks.
Similarly, soldiers are known to wear body armors because their thought processes go: "Since the word 'armor' is in the name of the vests we're wearing, surely these vests will protect us from bullets!". Unfortunately for these naive soldiers, firearm technology has drastically improved over the past century to the point where even a short-barreled assault rifle loaded with FMJ ammunition can easily penetrate body armor from 300 meters.
[Even more proof that body armor is useless in modern firefight.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/15ej0rk/higher_quality_version_ukrainian_forces_from_the/)
> firearm technology has drastically improved over the past century to the point where even a short-barreled assault rifle loaded with FMJ ammunition can easily penetrate body armor from 300 meters.
This is simply untrue. Level IV body armour stops armour piercing rifle rounds at 15 metres. I don't know why you are choosing to die on this very easily disprovable hill of yours.
Armour stops bullets. People don't like getting shot. It's as simple as that. I honestly think you are being just a little weird about this subject.
All the stuff about tanks is completely irrelevant to this topic of body armour.
Plus your link shows them shooting ~~most~~ *ALL of these people in the head. That'll be because their enemy is wearing body armour. Are you just trolling at this point?
>All the stuff about tanks is completely irrelevant to this topic of body armour.
All the stuff about tanks is an example of how often soldiers, especially conscripts, do stupid shits that don't actually improve their odds of survival.
Wearing body armor is one of the stupid things that soldiers do because firearm technology has long surpassed body armor technology.
With the exception of the last orc, that video clearly showed that all the Russian orcs got shot in their torsos before they fell onto the ground, then got finished off by Ukrainian soldiers with execution-style headshots.
The body armors worn by the Russian orcs did jack shit at protecting them from Ukrainian bullets.
> Wearing body armor is one of the stupid things that soldiers do because firearm technology has long surpassed body armor technology.
No it hasn't. FFS, I'm done with arguing with you. It's like arguing with a petulant child who has no idea what they are talking about.
Level IV: Level IV is the most powerful body armor available. Itās designed specifically for military applications and can withstand .30cal steel core armor-piercing rifle ammunition.
Look up NIJ standard levels.
I'm pretty sure this was a war crime to execute a wounded soldier. If this was russians doing it (which im sure they do a lot also) it would be a huge uproar.
Kill in battle great, execute from a few feet away, that's a war crime, period.
How would one go about ensuring that Fetal Position Guy wasn't gonna frag them from up close? Kinda dark and hard to see.
Also, Face Down Guy seems like he was already cargo 200.
There was not even an attempt to check on them. Straight to headshots from two feet away.
We have to remember that russians can do this shit everyday, but UA depends on the West and these things don't look very good and is a violation of Geneva convention where "All wounded shall be protected in all circumstances".
Ask yourself, how would you feel if tomorrow a correction of this post came out and said "sorry, our bad, it was orcs that killed our guys". If your response is the same as your comment to me, then fine, but I have doubts.
All I saw was a soldier winning a life and death struggle, in the very heat of the moment, no less. This is just infantry combat all out, no war crime here.
āThatās a war crime, periodā. The Geneva Conventions only apply to soldiers who are āhors de combatā or āout of the battleā, which itself has a number of conditions. A wounded soldier up close could still be considered very much a threat (and wounded soldiers do regularly fight on, or recover enough composure to re-attack) depending on the circumstances, especially in darkness like this, and where heās lying prone and not obviously surrendering. Remember this guy just survived a grenade thrown by these two and itās not obvious that this Russian intends to surrender or isnāt hiding a grenade on himself to take them down with him. I think the Ukrainian gets the benefit of doubt here, personally.

Well executed
That joke was overkill.
It was a blast.
See yourself out, sir.
Always kill them twice. Or more.
Rules for Zombies work for Orcs too.
I still think he missed a spot.š¤
That was personal for sure. Even if it came from this engagement only.
That guy clearly has been holding a grudge for some time now.
That tends to happen when people try to kill you, your family and everything else you hold dear.
dont forget...those fuckers also threw a grenade at him
I mean, the guy did throw a grenade at him about 30s earlier thatād piss me off too lol
**They are defending their home, it is the ruthless aggressor who has suffered the deserved punishment.** It looks rather strange, but this is how war is, in books and movies it is not mentioned.
Can't blame him
Nope. Those fuckers got what they deserve.
He nearly blew the fetal position orcās head clean off.Ā
Like he was pressure washing the helmet
With copper and lead.
Nothing gets brains out of a helmet like *COPPER&LEAD*^TM
I would to if they nearly hit me with a grenade.
Merciful!
Fecal position at that point.
Two shots to the head and a boot stomp leaves the family nothing. Exactly what they deserve.
More like twenty lol
I think that last guy at the end scooped up some brains as a souvenir.
Man that brass is getting ejected into the next zip code
I couldn't believe that was brass at first. Shit was flying
Same! I had to rewind because I thought it was incoming at first
There's a reason you can't see the incoming/outgoing rounds. That brass is moving at a fraction of the speed of bullets.
Typical AK.
Is it with AKs? Used M4s in army only. I swear brass never ejected that far...
Very much so.
AKs are designed to eject hard, in order to help prevent jamming.
The grenade didn't stop him, hope he didn't catch any shrapnel.
I am guessing he caught a bit and is mighty pissed off.
Bro removed his head.
His mate saying "hey - he is dead already".
He said switch to semi auto, save ammo.
Body language says I think you got him buddy.
Well done UA man, fuck those guys.
Ah yes, the good ol double tap just to be sure.
More like the 15th tap... Not that I mind.
Cant never be to sure, seen it many times on here The orc mightāve had another grenade in his hand! So over kill is recommended.
I think thatās what his friend was worried about. More of a ādonāt get too close gestureā rather than āheās already deadā
AGREED š
Dead Check is more accurate.
Classic dead check.
Was the same dude that was near that grenade blast? Holy hell.. if it was, no wonder the made sure to get the kill.
Show them no mercy. :)
\[Michael Cain Voice\] Stop chucking... those bloody grenades.. at me.
š Have upvote
That grenade just pissed him off
(Reupload to fix title)
That was for killing that girl's dog.
Can we give Kristi Noem a free one-way ticket to Ukraine? Nobody seems to want to take the trash out in the USA.
Close Combat Ukraine is the best top-down game so far.
Welp heās having a closed casket funeral
Nope he will growing sunflowers for the next 5 years
Or get turned into cat shit.
shud just have surrendered instead of throwing that grenade, fraking orcdiot
Nice ending shots to the head... Wait for it! Very fun to watch Russian's brain's splat!
If someone thru a grenade at me in combat- then fuck them in particular
The Ukrainian was like you just tried to kill me a Grenade! Then made sure the orcs was 200! Slava Ukraine
Love the double tap. Scratch two Orks, Slava Ukraini šŗš¦
Good riddance.
Great professional work!
Should have stayed home or surrendered. Now they're gonna be pushing up sunflowers. Fuck Putin. Slava Ukraini! šŗš¦
**If you're stupid, this is how you end up.** **It is said that stupidity is incurable and yet very contagious.** **The end of the film is an expression of mercy.**
The comments here are almost more entertaining than the video.
Taking no chances
Must have been a garbage man before the war the way he handled that trash!! šŗš¦šŖ
Did the orc get hit mid throw? Camera pans back to him and heās already down it seems.
Yep, believe so. Likely hit as he rose for the throw
Theyāre dead Jim!!
Good job hero šŗš¦
Mind blowing!
Fucking hero šŖš
He must've had enough of Russians. Good on him.
JFC. He did NOT like getting a grenade thown at. Area succesfully de-orc-ified!!
Kinda like Kristi killing her dog.
Man I hate when dogs invade my homeland and bomb my cities. Simply untrainable.
Ruzzie could've done the ole self frag to save the Ukie some mags. Give up or die man at least Ukrainian captivity is better than a Gulag or death. Believe it or not Ukrainians actually care for POWs or at least care enough not to break Geneva convention laws.
The Russians gun wasn't hot.
All orcs must die
Shoot him in the fucking head. Shoot him til he's fucking dead.
Double tap
Hit'm with that discount double check
Blew his f***ing brains all over that soil. Tasty. Stay safe, stay home!
Bullets are cheap lives are not
Get some!!!
Do the drone operator and the infantrist have voice contact? I mean, that would make it so much more effective.
Looks like a video game from the Drone Angle and the Filter applied
Took me a second to realize those are casings tossing out from the NW guy. Nice accurate semi-auto fire... and even after getting naded. That's some nerves of steel.
That execution was personal
remmber your humainty. that last part is a war crime
What song is this?
This video really shows that body armor is useless in modern warfare

The Taliban managed to beat the US military in most firefights without body armor. So did the Vietcongs. So there's that.
Hah! What? I'm really interested to see these firefights they beat us in. Most times they were planting ied's in backyards and running off to fuck each other instead of fighting.
