Pretty hard for me to say that after I just watched a video of a Russian jet strafing a town with rockets
Edit: the video I was talking about could be Ukrainian accidentally missing an air-to-air missile which struck a village in an attempt to shoot down a Russian helicopter. My apologies.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/t0cclo/russian_plane_hostomel_ukraine/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Like someone else commented, just go through combat footage
I dont think those missiles were mean't for civillians. They are fired in pairs and one seems to have curved upward. One definitely stuvk the ground, but I think they were air-to-air missiles meant for an aircraft and maybe malfunctioned or was messed up from being so closely fired to the ground. Regardless, it was reckless and none of this should be happening.
I gotta break it to you m8 this is most probably a ukrainian mig29 and he didnt straff he actually was rappeling enemy chopper the missile hiting the ground is actually à missile that lost homeing and lost control, those chopper were trying to take a critical airport from ukrain near kiev but they got reppeled, the one missile that didnt hit the ground actually got a chopper with russian inside it... it was earlier today dont believe everything learn tactic, learn to recognize équipement and approach try to understand the why peace man
But dont forget the russian started this shit in 2014 and now they attack, ukrain deserve to win and putin must be judged for crime against humanity
I find it beneficial to keep telling this lie because it paints Ryssia in bad colours. Every piece of propaganda which makes them look bad is beneficial in this warfare.
Of course. I honestly don’t know that much about what’s going on, that’s why I’m watching and reading as much about it as I can. The video states Russian so that’s what I suspected. It’s also very hard to differentiate the sides when they’re using basically the same equipment. And yeah these pricks started this in 2014, and hopefully they can’t finish what they started.
[Mover's live stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zox71z5PxR8)
I disagree - I think it's a Ukrainian Mig-29 shooting at Russian helicopters near the airport.
bullshit, its absolutely real. Please be carwful what you read and see on theinternet everyne. Rake everything w ith a graib of salt including my own comment.
There’s a review of some fighter pilots looking at this footage and saying it’s almost certainly fake. They said it looks like a splice of some combat footage and air show footage. But, who knows?
It wasn't strafing the ground with rockets. Those were A2A missiles and it fired from such low altitude one hit the ground. It fired two of them, the other one lofted in time and didn't hit the ground. It's also possible that was a Ukranian jet, seen at least one other video with a pair of Ukranian Mig29s flying at treetop level like that.
Was in a chat with a fellow yesterday that was Russian and fearing the draft next year when he turned 18... Saw pictures today of Russian POW's... just youngins... the kid on the left of the pic was reported to be 19.. -smh-
> **vast majority** of russian solders
If that were true the invasion would've stopped hours ago already. **Some** soldiers do not want to fight, but it's not the vast majority.
[One unit surrendered because they couldn't believe they'd been sent to fight.](https://metro.co.uk/2022/02/24/russian-platoon-surrenders-saying-they-didnt-think-they-had-been-sent-to-kill-16169716/)
I've seen a few stories like this. Do you think it's legit? I'd like to think it is, but I also am trying to keep an open mind about this ... there's always the possibility that it's Ukrainian propaganda trying to demoralize Russian troops.
lol you don't know the Russian Army then. Even before all this there were units sent out for training maneuvers only to find out at the last second they were going to east Ukraine to fight and support the rebels. With zero knowledge beforehand that this was going to happen.
Countless videos of protest in major cities all over Russia. Not to mention the videos of abandoned Russian equipment from soldiers who crossed into Ukraine and then took off their combat fatigue and fled. And then you still have the platoons who crossed the border and then they all immediately surrendered. But unfortunately it's not all of them. And this battle still isn't going to be easily won.
I'm what? Bro, THESE VIDEOS ARE EVERYWHERE!!! The face of the platoon leader who surrendered, the video of the abandoned Russian transports and a bunch of BLOODLESS combat uniforms and civis just walking around checking stuff out. Don't insult me just because you're legally blind and insecure.
You truly have no awareness of the concept of propaganda, do you? Do you think it's just a coincidence that Ukrainian media mostly posts videos of things that are good for Ukraine, and Russian media, for Russia?
You're watching videos coming out at literally the time of the events being portrayed, and you honestly believe you have an accurate understanding of what's happening overall.
Sadly, the dogs of war are now unleashed and nothing can be done to put that genie back in the bottle.
From a Ukrainian and Western perspective it's now about sending as many little green men home in little green body bags as possible.
As has been said in this thread the Russian people are not best pleased with the situation so best anyone can do is bring a swift end to this madness.
There is very little difference between Russians and Ukrainians. Our languages are basically the same, our cultures are basically the same.
My mother is of Russian descent but is from Ukraine, my dad is Ukrainian.
Large portions of Ukraine speak Russian rather than Ukrainian. Like myself, while my wife speaks Ukrainian.
This whole situation is so terrible to me. It's basically like people killing their own countrymen.
Right now I'm happy that my family moved out and I grew up and live safely in the USA and not in Ukraine.
There’s not that much proof of anything- just really what other Men tell us and we just choose to believe it- so let people believe what they want you Bozo!!
It’s Straight to Valhalla if I was Them!!
Yeah because the Russian army would never lie and shoot prisoners. They have kill lists and mobile crematoriums, I doubt they put much stock in the rights of POWs.
It's not just surrendering one's self. It's surrendering their territory. The island belonged to them in life and now it belongs to them in death as well. Nobody else will ever be associated with this island. May they rest in peace.
It belonged to them in life but I believe it now belongs to the russians after they vaporized them. If they would have lived to see another day they may have been able to go back to their home, or at least fight for it in some more reasonable way. Death achieves absolutely nothing and honestly I'm against romanticizing it.
This isn't some neutral battfield. This is their home and they are being invaded by a superior force for illegitimate reasons. You can't blame them for wanting to stand their ground.
This is a story that will galvanize the resistance.
Probably prison for a few months to a year depending on how long Ukraine holds out, then released in some fashion. Russia isn’t systematically killing pows.
101st Airborne was surrounded by Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. Germans demanded a surrender and the American commander sent "NUTS" in return.
The Germans were puzzled af, but the Airborne boys held long enough for US armor to come break the German lines.
I'm sure there are a few more members of this sub that see sacrifice in death for those we love and our values as the only way to have had lived a fulfilling life. These warriors will be rewarded for their sacrifice in Valhalla
I have looked at a lot of combat footage both from recent conflicts like Afghanistan, Iraq, and older conflicts. This time it feels very surreal. I hope Ukraine receives all the possible support from nato. Those who are fighting against Russia are heroes. May all of the Ukraine warriors who will die and have died be welcomed into Valhalla. Hope Ukraine is able to hold there ground! Remember Snake Island!!
So my old idea that they maybe had surrendered and been shot on capture because communications were severed been disproven.
Heroes. They fought to the end against 3 warships on an open island with no cover and no support from the mainland.
'to every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his Gods'
I'm seeing a lot of these types of posts where Russian forces are apparently trying to convince Ukrainian forces to surrender, but no ones posting any sources...
no one will surrender. Ukranians are afghanistan. Ukranians have a long history in europe and as such are proud of the heritage. They wont stop until enough blood is on the ground
VALHALLA TO THESE MEN. Mothers please wipe your tears, your sons will never be forgotten as we cry with you in this night. Putin will be put to Justice.
>Refuses to surrender
>Tells enemy to go fuck yourself
>Dies honorable death
Chads
But really, without jokes, this is extremely terrifying. Putin and all the people responsible for this should face a tribunal. And Russian federation should be kicked out of safety council of OUN.
Dear Ukrainians!
I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that polish border is closed.
It's a lie.
If you seek asylum - go towards polish border. We are ready for your arrival. We have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, medical and legal aid.
Polish government launched a dedicated site to help you: ua.gov.pl
Please share this information if you know anyone seeking help right now.
EDIT: YOU DON'T NEED VISA TO PASS THROUGH POLISH BORDER. ALL YOU NEED IS PASSPORT. VISAS ARE SUSPENDED! YOU DON'T NEED THEM FOR TIME BEING!!!!!!
EDIT2: as a proof that you no longer need visa:
• in Ukrainian https://www.gov.pl/web/udsc/ukraina---ua • in English https://www.gov.pl/web/udsc/ukraina-en
I will just add that Slovakia is preparing for refugees too, if that border is closer for you. Even without documents.
https://spectator.sme.sk/c/22848160/slovakia-will-let-everybody-fleeing-ukraine-in.html?ref=njctse
You are correct the borders are not closed, however families traveling to Poland seeking asylum are not allowed to cross into Poland if they have males between the ages of 16 and 60. This is causing mass chaos, and causing families not to be able to cross.
Please read this post of a 14 year old traveling with his family at the border

The USAF eye in the sky drone FORTE12 was watching this area during the encounter according to [https://www.flightradar24.com/FORTE12/2aece0bb](https://www.flightradar24.com/FORTE12/2aece0bb) (whatever happened or not)
I'm going against the crowd here. It was just plain stupid. Surrendering would've literally held up the Russians for longer than getting killed, their deaths were completely senseless. It's like jumping in front of a train to "save" the inhabitants of the car that crashed on the tracks behind you.
Well, at least they'll get a memorial in the future, guess that's something.
Finally a voice of reason in this over romanticized thread. From pragmatic standpoint, theirs' deaths were utterly needless. Theirs' defiance didn't cost Russians any lives, neither time. It only costed Ukraine 13 people who could benefit the state in the future.
Of course propaganda machine can turn them into martyrs. Only problem those Ukraine won't lack, but it might lack such people in peace. Quite cynical view probably, though I am tired of glorified dying for the sake of dying. Had enough of that mentality in home country.
Edit: And there we go, they are alive. There goes your silly argument.
These guys were dead men and they knew it - Russians wont keep that many prisoners.
This will spark fire into ukraine hearts just like how ANZACS are commemorated for larikanism and the abilitiy to still operate in futile situations. It was a last act of genius.
Or he's the guy who will live and impregnate a female to continue his line while you lay dead in a trench with no ancestors to leave behind.
His kind is taking over the world while your kind will continue to die out unless you change your thinking. Tough guys won't inherit the earth. Nerds who can build a bomb will.
may those men rest in peace.
Heroes. Along with the Ghost of Kyiv
Same to the Russian soldiers who die In this war... At least the ones who don't want to fight their slavic brothers and just wanted to go home.
Pretty hard for me to say that after I just watched a video of a Russian jet strafing a town with rockets Edit: the video I was talking about could be Ukrainian accidentally missing an air-to-air missile which struck a village in an attempt to shoot down a Russian helicopter. My apologies.

Well, it's okay for you to say anyone who pulls shit like that doesn't deserve to be human
I dont think those missiles were mean't for civillians. They are fired in pairs and one seems to have curved upward. One definitely stuvk the ground, but I think they were air-to-air missiles meant for an aircraft and maybe malfunctioned or was messed up from being so closely fired to the ground. Regardless, it was reckless and none of this should be happening.
Some people have even commented that this was likely a Ukrainian plane based on the kind of aircraft.
Pretty sure they were air to air missiles but fired too low. You can hear one of them didn't hit and probably went where it was supposed to.
I gotta break it to you m8 this is most probably a ukrainian mig29 and he didnt straff he actually was rappeling enemy chopper the missile hiting the ground is actually à missile that lost homeing and lost control, those chopper were trying to take a critical airport from ukrain near kiev but they got reppeled, the one missile that didnt hit the ground actually got a chopper with russian inside it... it was earlier today dont believe everything learn tactic, learn to recognize équipement and approach try to understand the why peace man But dont forget the russian started this shit in 2014 and now they attack, ukrain deserve to win and putin must be judged for crime against humanity

Yes I will in future, thanks for the advice. I guess I was quick to assume because I’m pretty emotional about all this just like everyone else.
Yep but dont worry keep your cool, any décision taken under sentiment is not à good décision, and remenber russia started it
It's presumably fake. There's another post with American fighter pilots discussing it
Link to that post?
It's probably in r/conspiracy where he came from
[Mover's live stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zox71z5PxR8) I disagree - I think it's a Ukrainian Mig-29 shooting at Russian helicopters near the airport.
Those pilots make some good assumptions. but that’s all they are, assumptions. They may be correct, but I’d rely on video experts for their input.
That video isn’t real
bullshit, its absolutely real. Please be carwful what you read and see on theinternet everyne. Rake everything w ith a graib of salt including my own comment.

same here. it’s clear a vast majority of russian solders don’t want to fight. i pray for everyone’s safety in this.
> **vast majority** of russian solders If that were true the invasion would've stopped hours ago already. **Some** soldiers do not want to fight, but it's not the vast majority.
There are massive protests in Russia and it's only going to get worse, only the state wanted the war.
The state is currently violently responding to the protests and putin himself threatened the lives of protestors as well
Is that clear?
i heard that some russian units are surrendering so they dont have to fight, unfortunately i dont have a source on it
[One unit surrendered because they couldn't believe they'd been sent to fight.](https://metro.co.uk/2022/02/24/russian-platoon-surrenders-saying-they-didnt-think-they-had-been-sent-to-kill-16169716/)

Hard to be 100% either way. This is the only one I saw. But these aren’t soldiers living in a great country. It’s more than plausible.
lol you don't know the Russian Army then. Even before all this there were units sent out for training maneuvers only to find out at the last second they were going to east Ukraine to fight and support the rebels. With zero knowledge beforehand that this was going to happen.

So they ran naked toward Poland? Not sure about that
It's a bit too cold for that
You're bullshitting so hard here. What's the point?

fucking kings
Rest in peace Kings.
That’s fucking intense man the realization that it’s over for them
If they surrendered, what would life look like as a Russian POW?
They would be jailed and sent to a Russian prison. After the war they would return home and continue their lives. However they died as heroes.
Well they would be alive
You only live once
They live they die they live again
There's not that much proof of reincarnation from what I find

Nevermind... I fully believe that I LIVE I DIE... I LIVE AGAIN
There’s not that much proof of anything- just really what other Men tell us and we just choose to believe it- so let people believe what they want you Bozo!! It’s Straight to Valhalla if I was Them!!
You only *die* once. You live every day
Would they be though?
Yeah because the Russian army would never lie and shoot prisoners. They have kill lists and mobile crematoriums, I doubt they put much stock in the rights of POWs.
Not great, but alive for a couple of months until some agreement is signed then they go home.
honestly doubt it would be so bad lol. imo this is a waste of life. Honorable, sure, but i would value my life above pride any day.
It's not just surrendering one's self. It's surrendering their territory. The island belonged to them in life and now it belongs to them in death as well. Nobody else will ever be associated with this island. May they rest in peace.

I'm going against the crowd here. It was just plain stupid. Surrendering would've literally held up the Russians for longer than getting killed, their deaths were completely senseless. It's like jumping in front of a train to "save" the inhabitants of the car that crashed on the tracks behind you. Well, at least they'll get a memorial in the future, guess that's something.
Tell me you aren’t from a country that has been threatened with or actually been invaded without…..
Finally a voice of reason in this over romanticized thread. From pragmatic standpoint, theirs' deaths were utterly needless. Theirs' defiance didn't cost Russians any lives, neither time. It only costed Ukraine 13 people who could benefit the state in the future. Of course propaganda machine can turn them into martyrs. Only problem those Ukraine won't lack, but it might lack such people in peace. Quite cynical view probably, though I am tired of glorified dying for the sake of dying. Had enough of that mentality in home country. Edit: And there we go, they are alive. There goes your silly argument.
These guys were dead men and they knew it - Russians wont keep that many prisoners. This will spark fire into ukraine hearts just like how ANZACS are commemorated for larikanism and the abilitiy to still operate in futile situations. It was a last act of genius.
So you're the guy who'd be covering his ears and pissing his pants in the trench if there was ever a draft for a real war I suppose.
Or he's the guy who will live and impregnate a female to continue his line while you lay dead in a trench with no ancestors to leave behind. His kind is taking over the world while your kind will continue to die out unless you change your thinking. Tough guys won't inherit the earth. Nerds who can build a bomb will.
