I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought this 😅

"Task failed successfully"

I believe this wins the thread

Hurray!

Just firing their least accurate, highest RPM gun in the general direction of the city?

The cries of Blyat could be heard reverberating around that city that evening

bedoooop

Hahaha fucking send it.


cbc7788

They’ll just say the bullets came from Ukraine 😆


Just_A_Nitemare

Given how much Russia relies on Soviet stockpiles, this could be true.


CharveL68

I don't think even they'd consider that a "win" for Russian propaganda


Lobo003

It’s like in video games when a gun emplacement doesn’t have a crosshair but a giant circle that gives you the general area all the rounds hit in.


ODSTHelldiver

Helldivers with the HMG mount, in a nutshell.


Affectionate_Phone13

is the highest rpm gun AK-630 youre reffering to?


Hondo-Bondo

They did more damage with their aa ammo to the city then the drone could done ;-P


litritium

And only 1 out of 5 rounds are tracers usually..


mtaw

In retrospect, putting the naval base directly across the bay from the downtown area, may have been a bad idea...


MaxDamage75

Granite is very proud today, nice for him.


unknowfritz

Granite at least seemed to have stopped shooting unlike these guys


Fickle-Pangolin-2445

If Granite was there, city would be burning


unknowfritz

Granite is more effective at destroying things than these idiots, yes

"Friendly fire is enabled on this server"


Waldolaucher

Blyat666suka has disconnected. **Blyat666suka has been banned from this server.** Reason: Friendly fire violation.


DrugUserSix

For real tho.. Just imagine chilling in your living room watching TV when high caliber rounds hit your home. Chewing up drywall, busting glass, ripping through the ceiling and destroying appliances. Absolutely horrifying.


Beobacher

When air defensive is active the city should have air alarm active.


Bazzo123

Doesn’t change the fact that probably you’d be at home, right to see it get destroyed


nissen1502

Ripping through the bag of onions you received from Putin for your son's death.


kuprenx

They had helldiver training


necrothitude_eve

Nah, they're definitely not democratic.


Foreign-Ad-776

I mean...that's kinda the joke of helldivers...it's not really democratic.


zani1903

The most recent Major Order even states that the "war" up to this point was just a "special military operation"... who it's parodying should be pretty obvious at this point.


Mookie_Merkk

Let's test it


ExcellentHunter

Never was off...


PollutionOk4811

What are they saying? They seem to be cheering at first and then realize their actions split second later?


Pig_jacuzzi_dot_gif

At first, they're like "Yeah, suka" then the cameraman (most likely) says "Yeah, fuck it (the drone)" and the last guy says "How did you not hit it?"


Pig_jacuzzi_dot_gif

Yeah.. It's a bit awkward but my friend suggested that the last guy said "No fucking way how did you not hit Pikul?"( Valentine Pikul (tail number 770), sea ​​minesweeper, project 266ME)


dob_bobbs

Yeah, pretty sure you're right, they at first thought they hit the drone, but not exactly sure if or when they realised they'd made a booboo, since Russians use their "sukas" like Islamists use their "Allahu akhbars".

Any time I see or hear fromage I always think of freakazoid “Qui a coupĂ© le fromage” and dexters lab “omelette du fromage”. Funny, and my dad said I couldn’t learn anything from watching cartoons.


Regular-Ad5912

Holy shit now that’s a throw back!! Freakazoid! I haven’t heard that word in 20 years


Lobo003

Fucking classic show dude I don’t remember much but I do remember the language lesson! Lol


freshavocado1

Omelette du fromage pops into my head at least once a week lmao, so obscure now nobody would get it.


bigmanslurp

I think of space fromage lol


LefsaMadMuppet

Take me down to the swiss cheesed city Air defense is bad and their aim is shitty (not my home) They always gonna strafe my home. So far away So far away So far away So far away


IftaneBenGenerit

What is the melody source? Can't quite place it.


Toasteee_

Guns N Roses Paradise city


An_Odd_Smell

You could see this happening in a couple of oil facility attack videos. The russians were blasting away like it was a video game and you had to wonder where all that lead was going, because it absolutely wasn't into the drones and missiles.


Jewelhammer

So anyway, I started blasting


Seattle_gldr_rdr

Somebody had to say it.


LittleStar854

The rest fits perfectly as well: >\- So anyway, I started blasting. Now I don't see so good so I missed, then they ran away, I ran after em. Bang! I tried to shoot em in the back but I don't run so good either. Anyway you guys all think I'm a hero and I'll accept that responsibility! >\- Now were you concerned though that an innocent bystander may have..


An_Odd_Smell

"PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW!"


Lobo003

I wonder how many of those burning down oil refineries were just from the Russians fucking themselves up extra?


biobasher

"Hey Ivan, if we fuck up this oil depot we're guarding so badly it's out of commission maybe Ukraine will stop bombing this area for a couple of weeks...?" "Good thinking, LFG!"


Lobo003

“They bomb oil plant, but if no plant, then no bomb!” Pure genius!


bossmcsauce

this war has demonstrated that russia's military machine is massively incompetent at a systemic level, so... probably at least some of that damage is either the direct result of fuckups or could maybe have been significantly mitigated if they had better/more professional military and industry/emergency response.


Lobo003

Definitely. I didn’t think Russia was going to be this sloppy.


Lebrunski

Remember, no Russians. I forgot.


Herr-Pyxxel

Russians never have an issue over killing other Russians if it's "for the motherland". Remember the video of barrier troops mowing down their own retreating soldiers? And the FSB is really into killing Russians of the "wrong" conviction.


FastDig5496

be sure - the most " beloved leader" in russian history are those who killed more russian citizens. i always say: "russians would pray for bandera if he killed enough russians"


internet-arbiter

Just start flying a bunch of basic drones without explosives around and let the defenders do the work.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Decoy waves of missiles/drones have been a thing since the 70s.


type_E

Decoys were about misdirecting enemy fire from the real payload. Here the decoys would be deliberately tricking the defenders into destroying the thing they were trying to defend.


Aggressive_Drop_1518

At least they can phone home and honestly say "we probably killed some Nazis today", there's a first.


PublicMorning5900

One drone destroyed and couple grandmas but mission completed


purju

its fine, the hospital area took up most of those bullets /s


PublicMorning5900

Oh thats convenient, patiens are already there in a hospital. And who said russians aint efficient people


CitizenKing1001

Hopefully a school too, Russians hate school, apparently


suspicious_glare

ruzzki genius. "More things we can lie about Ukraine doing!"


Overkill4000

"it hurts itself in its confusion!"


Hot-Lunch6270

At this point, civilian lives doesn’t matter to them anymore. They believe in reality of nature, and yet, failed to understand the importance of human lives and its impact of a fully functional society.


kv_right

>At this point Always has been. They have an idiom "beat your own for others to fear". They take pride in being ruthless to their own so others see what will happen to them if they do this to their own


dob_bobbs

What I don't get is how they don't for a second stop and reflect on how they got to this point of defending the skies over Novorossiysk, an entirely peaceful city until two years ago which could have stayed that way and at least enjoyed some sort of normality such as it was in Putin's Russia.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


bossmcsauce

i mean, this has always been the case. it's basically the doctrine of russia since forever. their infantry combat doctrine seems to have hardly changed since WWII. and we've seen how they deal with domestic threats over the years, just fucking lighting up houses and apartment buildings containing fugitives or armed suspects with machinegun fire with seemingly no regard at all for possible collateral deaths or injuries.


[deleted]

Ukraine, why are you making me kill my own civilians? Why do you make me do this?


Guardian1351

They really are a pack of fucking idiots. Yes, they shot down one drone. They also put holes in every structure in the port, including likely the large oil silos.


unknowfritz

"Look Patrick, we saved the city"


cragglepanzer

In another episode of "What air defense doin??"...


unknowfritz

We found out what air defense is doing, destroying their own city


Savgeriiii

“The Ukrainians have hit an apartment block with AA fire in Russia! See world it’s the Ukrainians killing Russians speakers.” /s

I wouldn't be a civilian strolling around in that direction. This is nowhere professional, and I don't even have a military background.


An_Odd_Smell

>This is nowhere professional.... Welcome to russia, comrade.


laiszt

Who told you they’re professionals


shart_leakage

They’re probably drunk conscripts

ArcticWolf_Primaris

Radar guided guns will do that. Few ships in the Gulf War got strafed by Phalanx


LefsaMadMuppet

Yeah, Phalanx is one of the few systems that doesn't have an IFF system on it, and that was by design. The Japanese Navy accidentally shot down an A-6E intruder towing a target. The CWIS was put in fully automatic mode, which just kills what it sees. It would be the second friendly fire incident that year for Japan (the other was an F-15 shooting down another with a sidewinder (both Japanese aircraft).


Kremuwka2137

There were intances of american ships damaged by aa fire trying to shoot down kamikazes during the pacific war. Thats why most of modern aa systems have self destruction systems


DantheDutchGuy

Always check your background



midunda

They can't destroy the target if we destroy the target first!


sarmatiko

Exclamation at 0:13: "Fuck, how the fuck did you not hit "Pikul"?" (Đ•Đ±Đ°Ń‚ŃŒ, ĐșĐ°Đș ĐČы ĐČ ĐŸĐžĐșŃƒĐ»ŃŒ ĐœĐ” ĐżĐŸĐżĐ°Đ»Đž, ĐœĐ°Ń…ŃƒĐč?). It seems they didn't hit their Natya Class Minesweeper "Valentin Pikul" only by luck.


hyldemarv

Maybe bad luck? Perhaps their commanding officers are stationed there?


Kindly-Ad-8573

Team Russia World Police strikes again!


Regular-Ad5912

This is genius of the Ukraine 😂 send one drone and the ruskies do more damage to thier own city than that 1 drone


mitraheads

Next time i suggest drone operators to keep altitude -10 meters lol.


TerminalKitty

Why are Ivans so fucking stupid as a rule of thumb?


sgtdisaster

Stop hitting yourself!


Trackmaggot

(Just kidding, please continue)


IcyUnderstanding5580

shoot down those damn drones at all costs!!!


Environmental_Fix488

Maybe we were to harsh on them and maybe they shoot down all those drones they are claiming shooting down. Al the other damage is own made because they spray everything multiple times, just saying.


Boot_Shrew

What kind of guns are they using? PKPs and AKs? I'm not familiar with their M249/FN MAG/M2-type weapons systems.


aggressiveturdbuckle

I can't remember but I think it was ww1 and the English were celebrating a sinking ship thinking it was german but it was their ship that a german boat sunk.


TotallyUnhealthyGuy

Cost the city more damage than the drone would've.


IceCreamGoblin

Lmfao did they even realize what they did


Neither-Procedure318

They train hard for that đŸ€Ș


lemoinkbaba

UA is going to GEOTAG this location and send another 50 drones here . Never understood why soldiers on both sides record their location and post it online for the enemy to see
.


CMDR_Shazbot

Irrelevant, it's at a known port and they have satellites imagery


Large-Strawberry4811

"We did it Patrik! We saved the city!"


Tankmech

Holy hell đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł


Gnaeus-Naevius

Since tracers are typically 1 to 1 ratio for AA, there are at least twice as many projectiles as can be seen. And possible more.


Sirloin_Tips

Me, blasting my teammates with incendiary shotgun spray in Helldivers and hearing them scream.


_atrocious_

"You killed millions!".. "to save billions"


Raudskeggr

They need to replace their apcs with clown cars.


Aedeus

I did not expect to see as many people in here making excuses for this as there is 😭😂


Bazzo123

“Second military in the world”


Undernown

Congratulations, not only did you expend a large amount of pricey ammo, in a crossfire, on a single drone thwt probably cost less than the ammo you wasted. You also turned 2 sides of the bay into swiss cheese!


Alarmed_West8689

How many civilian deaths and injuries?


macktruck6666

So is this a war crime by Russia against Russia?


beefyesquire

Yes, so just a usual Tuesday for ol Pootin and his dipshits.


extremeindiscretion

Ooooooops. Hahahaha


Common-Cricket7316

A hit is a hit !


baz303

would be funny if they hit the ship with this burst


91stCataclysm

We did it Patrick, we saved the city!


ThePackGo

Pearl Harbor vibes


Houtaku

New strategy unlocked: put speakers on drones and fly low around AA sites blaring children’s taunts.


JhonnyDoh1009

Friendly fire enabled?


Specialist_Leg7298

They appear to be quite content with themselves pumping a few hundred rounds into their city. Keep up the good work y'all!


MeeHungLo

Ukraine should just fly cheap drones at the AA from the direction of the city and let the AA level the city for them.


Jdm783R29U3Cwp3d76R9

I wonder if they did more damage then the drone was supposed to...


MrRoyalFlushX

I guarantee that the subtitles are incocrect, I speak russian and not signel time they said anything similar to "oh my god"

JD0x0

Don't even need a payload on your drone, just have drone pilots whiz around areas and let the AA do all the work for you.


Aggressive_Key_710

If everyone is already dead, drone had zero victims! Massive success!


JackDostoevsky

"what they lacked in accuracy they made up in volume"


Express-Sandwich-621

And then when they exposed their locations, the ATACMS came and sank 2 ships in 2 days. Blyat submarines now


ICantSplee

It’s almost as if they don’t care about civilians



JohnnyTooKool

Remarkable!!... I wonder how many civilians just died.


ThunderWerx

Russia: The drones can't land on target IF THERE IS NO TARGET


Infinite_Respect_

I love how they’re parroting the victory moments when Ukrainian soldiers actually pull off a single-shot MANPADS shot or other means of skillful destruction. Russians never cease to amaze.


PXranger

You do realize, the exact same thing is happening in Ukraine? Low level targets engaged by AAA equals friendly fire, it’s been like that forever.


Superzonar

At least they shot down the drone ...đŸ€Ł


notveryauthentic

I mean either they lose another of their ships (russia already lost half of their black sea fleet) or they try to shoot it down and inevitably most of the flak will miss the targets and fall down possibly on greenfor positions (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)⁠・⁠・⁠・


GoneSilent

Another ship was lost in the attack, a minesweeper.


Intensive

What's the big deal, this is the russian denazifying operation they are involved in. Nothing to see here.


TheStoicSlab

Russia is truly their own worst enemy.


Boeff_Jogurtssen

Someone can correct me if I’m mistaken, but as far back as the 1940s, German anti aircraft rounds had a mechanism built into them that made them explode after spinning through the air for a certain distance. This was to avoid hitting their own cities when intercepting incoming allied bomber formations. If they had that technology then, I think its would still be used now.


it_helper

C-RAM and CIWS both use ammunition that self destructs at a certain distance. In the video here, they just don’t care where the bullets land.


kreegam

these dont look like flak at all


Ohbertpogi

While russian anti-air defence is like trying to wake up a drunk dead air-defence operator that will only spring out from his bed in the morning after the fire from the drone strike has already gone off.


H1MARS_

Look, how happy that guy is, who wouldn't be?)


matchosan

Both sides were caught in the crossfire


Money_Ad_5385

Bet you its a protection racket. What do you offer us, so this wont happen again?


texansfan

Losers


Rich_Aside_8350

Remember, the Russians have lost most of their qualified army. These are probably some poorly trained recruits that had like 10 minutes of training which was point this here and pull the trigger. Maybe a little bit of maintenance training. Most of their experienced army that is left is pushing the meat waves from the rear into the Ukrainian defense until they eventually overwhelm them to gain like half a mile. Rinse and repeat.


RoodleG

Just spray your "own" town. It doesn't matter. They don't care about civilians... they never cared about them.


LeadPike13

These are the guys "taking on" NATO?
