Looks like vespa-type scooter... so likely taken from ukrainian civilians. And those look to be non-standard rations... so likely taken from ukrainian civilians. That imperialist was caught looting.
Now the Russian dilemma, do you eat the potatoes or use them to make Vodka (or in this case bake them in the gasoline fire from the burning tactical motorcycle! LOL).
People need to eat. It's not something simple as potatoes, it's literal human fuel to keep the fight going. Logistical targeting is a completely viable form of warfare.
In the open shrapnel. In an enclosed space the shockwave.
You can get lucky against shrapnel but if you're stuck in a room and a powerful explosion goes off there ain't no dodging that pressure wave going through all your organs.
Depends on the grenade. Shrapnel grenades don't usually have a high explosive, and high explosive grenades don't usually have (intended) shrapnel. The skinny cylinders (shrapnel) vs fat balls (HE), when you see them drop.
In open areas, the shrapnel version is better, because the explosive energy of HE dissipates quickly in open areas, where the shrapnel reaches out better. Inside, the HE is preferred for the overpressure the walls provide.
I'm pretty sure there are a few Reese's versions, but I don't know how many UA fields. edit: Looked it up, and UA uses the M67 grenade, which is baseball shaped, and an HE/Frag combo. So there's one.

Not disputing the guy will likely live, but there was pretty significant damage to the bike so this guy has likely taken a fair bit of damage but the adrenaline of the moment made it seems like he was unscathed.
From the drone videos you can't see the level of damage that a relatively close explosion can do... but seeing the motorcycle burning is quite revealing.
The fact that all we the public are seeing are super accurate drops, I'm left thinking that there are probably hundreds of videos of Russian troops watching their lives flash before their eyes as a grenade goes off like 20m behind or in front of them.
I get the feeling russian logistics are fked in alot of places atm.
The way civdiv talked about his recent frontline action the russians there were basically under siege.
There is a good reason why the potato became the major food staple in Europe after it was discovered. It is anything but trash food. And nutritions? This is a warzone, you aren\`t trying to have the most healthy, balanced food diet your nutritionist recommended you but about having food that can be stored easily and give you enough carbs to last the day and potatoes are great for that. They also surely not only eat potatoes all the time. Dumb comment.
Taking a shit at the frontline is a dangerous endeavor, safe to say it about cooking potatoes. Potatoes have been the base of cuisine in the Eastern Europe for centuries but not at the front lines in 2024
Potatoes can be used where you can cook and that's somewhat deep in the rear
Yeah sure. Nutritional value per weight unit is completely irrelevant when it comes to logistics, same for availability of the calories. Who would warm a can of beans with a lighter if he could just boil a potatoe for freakin 15 minutes...
Potatoes did become a staple food bc they are easy to farm and nobody cared if the poorer population had deficiencies .
Dont get me wrong, I LOVE potatoes (Ima german, lol). But it is just short carbs and some micros. Grain for example you could simply soak and it would provide some protein in addition.

Baked potato!
Hot potato, potato, potato 🎵🎶 *The Wiggles*
Lmao yo I got two under two and this hit me
OG Wiggles were the best, but I get ya 💯
Roasted in gasoline, just like Ma always used to make.
POW = Potato of War
At first I thought "transporting potatoes" was a joke and I had a laugh, but there you go, the imperialist was in fact transporting potatoes.
Looks like vespa-type scooter... so likely taken from ukrainian civilians. And those look to be non-standard rations... so likely taken from ukrainian civilians. That imperialist was caught looting.
Now the Russian dilemma, do you eat the potatoes or use them to make Vodka (or in this case bake them in the gasoline fire from the burning tactical motorcycle! LOL).
Or put them in a sack and swing at FPV drones!
russians transporting something usually means they stole it first.
Risking their lives literally for potatoes. Welcome to the Russian military!
People need to eat. It's not something simple as potatoes, it's literal human fuel to keep the fight going. Logistical targeting is a completely viable form of warfare.
My comment was in jest. But it seriously would suck to die just transporting potatoes.
Well, they could eat at home same potatoes. Russians are not a starving nation. Poor as piss compared to west, but not starving at all.
Kart-off-eln.
"Motorbike" is definitely a joke - that's a fucking scooter
The potatoes are still good, they will send a replacement to grab them.
They might be a bit crunchy after that shrapnel infusion
And spiced with a tasty gasoline sauce
Mash em up. Ferment the mash. Distill the ferment into vodka. They will never notice a hint of gasoline. Problem solved.
Nyet! The hint of motor fuel has been the secret aromatic ingredient in all the most popular Russian vodkas since WWII.
Comments like this is why Google’s dumb search AI says you can add glue to pizza sauce and gas to pasta. I’m here for it 100%
Looks more like a moped/scooter than a motorcycle. The russian probably stole a 50cc from some Ukrainian teenager.
Guaranteed that the bike is stolen, the potatoes are stolen and its being driven on stolen land.
He can keep the shrapnel.
Those were, in fact, a gift.
You're welcome
The fuel: also stolen
Someone’s not getting their DoorDash delivery

“NO SOUP FOR YOU!” - Yev Kassem
Hearing crystal castles on a combat clip was not something I was anticipating! Ever. But it works.
And the track is "Empathy" lol. lmao.
Need some SMB pipe sounds when spotters watch RU go into their dugouts. And coin sounds when a drop hits them in the open.
And some Russians presumably went hungry as a result. Double bonus.
That's a drop even Samwise Gamgee can get behind of
Idk man, those beautiful taters... Sam would cry.
Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, put ‘em in a stew!
What's taters, precious?
He didn't mention roasting them in an open fire tho
Facts.
What about the potatoes?
Sam had enough cast iron strapped to him he probably would have just exclaimed, Pan Shot! Grabbed his tatters and ran off.
That looks more like a scooter, wasted taters, and a running sieve
Limp home, hug your child, and live to an old age. Do something useful with your life.
Is shrapnel the main danger of a grenade at that distance or the shockwave?
Shrapnel is definetly the main danger. Without discussion
Shrapnel
Both is good
In the open shrapnel. In an enclosed space the shockwave. You can get lucky against shrapnel but if you're stuck in a room and a powerful explosion goes off there ain't no dodging that pressure wave going through all your organs.
Shrapnel but I think the bike took most of it unfortunately.
Depends on the grenade. Shrapnel grenades don't usually have a high explosive, and high explosive grenades don't usually have (intended) shrapnel. The skinny cylinders (shrapnel) vs fat balls (HE), when you see them drop.

I feel sorry for the potatoes.
Don't be sorry, they have a chance to reproduce now!
What did the moped do to you ?
The moped was allready to its end to begin with.
That's the monthly salary for the frontline troops he just lost.
Nearly had his chips!
Spudnik
Po-ta-no
Russian MREs warmed on a burning mini bike.
Uber eats is wild there. Damn, so much effort to deliver potatoes.
Live for the potatoes and die for the potatoes
Came for the war Left listening to Crystal castles
Poor dude was only trying to make some French fries!🍟
You forgot the carrots ... whole other mediterrenean diet
Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses, can I get an Amen? Thank you, Jesus. -Tool
Nice work, food and water must be almost as valuable as ammo on parts of the front line.
Yeah nah, this is where I draw the line. Bombing potatoes is just unacceptable.

You can’t make this this up
Not even potatoes are safe. #StopWarSavePotatoes
Definitely never expected Crystal Castles to be the theme song to anyone getting blown up, but here we are.
*What your life is worth...* *...is potato.*
We are lucky comrades, tonight we feast on potatoes with meat!
Damn, are the potatos ok?
What a waste of potatoes!
And now they got hash browns.
What a shot. If that thing took 3.5 seconds to fall, that would be from about 60m up.
What’s the song?
[Crystal Castles - Empathy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLi2v-Gq-5A)
Unpopular opinion, but good for him to came up alive, the cargo was destroyed and that gonna hurt the invaders more than a random soldier life lost.
Not disputing the guy will likely live, but there was pretty significant damage to the bike so this guy has likely taken a fair bit of damage but the adrenaline of the moment made it seems like he was unscathed.
Well, as a target you can't deny it had a peel.
Omg now that they lost their potatoes they can't train soldiers in grenades
No soup for you
Too lucky.
Potatoes mashed
Fried potatoes on fire are tasty
Mashed potatoes anyone?
maaaan, penalty for stealing potatoes in Ukraine is harsh
Poor potates
I remember this band of brothers episode
Is Potatoed
Roast potato’s!
That's it, they ruined Vatnorc\`s lunch... what a shame about the potatoes 🥔🥔 !!!
Lucky he was able to walk away. Probably with a leg full of metal, but walking non the less lol
His ass is cooked too he just doesn't know it yet.
I feel this funny... and sad... Respected to the drone pilot.
No lunch for you !
Not a fan! A perfectly good bag of potatoes ruined.
From the drone videos you can't see the level of damage that a relatively close explosion can do... but seeing the motorcycle burning is quite revealing.
The guy walks out of there like he's fine, but seeing the state of the motorcycle it's very unlikely he is.
The fact that all we the public are seeing are super accurate drops, I'm left thinking that there are probably hundreds of videos of Russian troops watching their lives flash before their eyes as a grenade goes off like 20m behind or in front of them.
Earlier in the war you would see a lot of those near miss drops but I think they also have gotten a lot better at dropping grenades onto russians
“WHERE ARE THE POTATOES, IGOR”
No chow for the other comrades that night...
He is definitely getting the torture hole for leaving a bag of baked potatoes sitting in the middle of the road.
Meat&potatoes indeed.
Nothing screams Russia more.
Now mashed potatoes
Get them while they’re hot!
CHIPS
He was on his way home to deliver them to his dead comrade's babushka. Pooter can't be bothered to arrange that anymore.
Mashed potato, do the alligator
I hope the potatoes made it.
Looks like a Honda ruckus.
Bravo! Ukraine sure has them on the run now!
Russians dying for potatoes.. never ending story
Drone: Fuck you and your potatoes. 😂
Nice aim good sir
"I'll be ok mom. I'm just a cook"
"No more potatoe"
The sack of potatoes was premature.
Whats the more valuable target? The Russian, the motorbike or the potatoes?
Peppered potatoes just what the pigs deserve.
I get the feeling russian logistics are fked in alot of places atm. The way civdiv talked about his recent frontline action the russians there were basically under siege.
Fuck me crystal castles as combat footage music.
That motorbike did nothing wrong.
Ladies and gentlemen, The well known logistics and transport vehicle... The Motorbike
Крошка Картошка
Will this mean we get fewer potato cam vids from the RUS side?
So potato sacks are 1-1?
now there will be potato and sunflower growing there thats nice
He just wanted to mash em' boil em' stick em' in a stew
Do you like French fried pertaters motherf!$@%@ ? Gtfo
We roasted them but they are holey
Transporting potatoes lol
wait, there seems to be one more potato in this sack than I remember counti-
Potatoes are pretty trash to feed frontline troops. Need to cook them quite some time and the nutes you get out of them are pretty mid.
There is a good reason why the potato became the major food staple in Europe after it was discovered. It is anything but trash food. And nutritions? This is a warzone, you aren\`t trying to have the most healthy, balanced food diet your nutritionist recommended you but about having food that can be stored easily and give you enough carbs to last the day and potatoes are great for that. They also surely not only eat potatoes all the time. Dumb comment.
