A few of the Special Forces soldiers that were on the ground said it was one of the best fireworks shows they’d ever seen. They just sat there and watched the Russians get destroyed.
These moments and engagements make me proud to pay taxes with which to support our military personnel in combat. Never should they have to beg, plead and scream for ammunition or food like the Russians have been. Never should they have to worry about getting the support they require when things hit the fan. Our responses to attacks should always be fierce, overwhelming and unforgiving such as this engagement was.
You know how Ivans are with their fetish for shiny things. Bling is bling - doesn't matter if it's given for actual valor, simply surviving, or raping women, murdering children and stealing toilet seats. It is not the deed that matters, but the degree of one's obedience in carrying it out that determines how much bling a Russian soldier is eligible to. The more immoral and reprehensible the order, the higher the award to those who carry it out unflinchingly. For senior officers, simply growing old will suffice - regularly awarded medals and the accompanying bragging rights are another way of securing their political loyalty along with the informal right to dip one's fingers into the military coffers. The good news is that as long as they keep fighting like they currently are, NATO countries have little to worry about.
I believe they were cannon fodder and were tricked into going there. I believe the US command asked the Russian command if it was them to which they half truthfully said "no" thought knowing it was Wagner mercenaries. The Wagner mercenaries believed they were attacking and taking ground from ISIS. Wagner and US command was not in direct contact. That's why they were completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on/where fire was coming from. Anyway they're still mercenaries so screw em'.
The British called use “Yankee doodle” it’s a sleight. So us being us we embrace it, it made the British madder. The equipment the soldier is holding is a targeting laser sights for ground troops to mark a target for the air force to blow up , bomb, and/or shoot.

Just so you know, the correct spelling is “slight.” The number of homonyms in the English language is truly confounding, involving many more than the common, “two, too, to,” and “there, their, they’re.”
The British originally called us Yankees because it was how they referred to Dutch pirates "Jan-ke" pronounced "Yawn-kay." However, because we're Americans, we embraced it. So we're now widely known as "Yankees". We like it 😂
Not just Dutch Pirates, they referred to the fact that Dutch people were in their eyes always called Jan or Kees which would turn into Jan-Kees or jen-keys in english pronounciation.
@Tyrone Wiggums thanks for the help it takes everyone as a team to do what we do from the airmen who makes sure my suit is on right to my wingmen to you
Allied countries seem to use Yankee or Yank endearingly. Hostile countries are maybe using it as a derogatory term. But thats a bit silly because we obviously like it. We named a baseball team the Yankees. The term comes from British soldiers during the revolutionary war. It was undoubtably derogatory when first used in 1775. But because it painted American colonists as wild, insubordinate and crazy, we liked it.
On a side note, Americans have been called Yankees by many countries since the 1700s at least. In fact, a late colonial era song that is now commonly taught to children is called "Yankee Doodle" and is considered patriotic. The British and Australians and others still call us "Yanks" for short.
No it's not, it's the CLU for a javelin. Which yes is essentially the same thing, but what your talking about is for targeting for aerial drops, this one is specifically for the javelin.
The tube was sitting right next to him on the right, its a common mistake, they look very similar but the main differenceis the CLU has an attachment for the javelin tube. Also, most if not all of this footage isn't from this fight, so just because the us didn't use javelins doesn't mean the video didn't show one
You guys did a good job. As a American 🇺🇸 it’s interesting to see other people’s perspectives. America is the worlds only Super Power, and has been in military engagements for the past 30 plus years. Not a good idea to test a country that’s been perfecting its skills for 30 plus years.
We’re fast losing that title….China has become very good at messing with our military satellites and communications systems. I knew that when the US powers at the time decided to grant China “most favored trade status” that they would not just decimate our blue collar economy by undercutting costs after Ronald Reagan deregulated companies from moving overseas. It was obvious that the Chinese would not only use our technologies for mass production, but that they’d also build up their military. It’s really biting our ass now, bc they apparently won’t hesitate to send nuclear missiles our way.
A U.S. General said, "We don't care who you are, where you are from, what you believe, or who you love, if you choose to fight the U.S. military, someone else will raise your sons and daughters."
"We’ve seen war. We don’t want war. But if you want war with the United States of America, there’s one thing I can promise you, so help me God: someone else will raise your sons and daughters." - Staff Sergeant David Bellavia US Army
A Russian returns from a long fishing trip and asks his friend about world events in his absence. "Don't you know? We're at war with the NATO!" "Really? And what are our losses?" "180 thousand killed or missing, 3000 tanks and APCs, 2000 artillery pieces, a couple hundred planes and helicopters, seven generals killed or captured, and one cruiser sunk." "Sounds pretty bad. And the NATO?" "NATO hasn't arrived yet."
Its was very brutal engagements of the modern warfare. Without Communication, even the strongest military can be destroyed. Russia never learns this thing, see in Ukraine, when 6 Russian tanks manage to break through Ukraininan front line but with no response from command room & backup, they burned in hell by Jevlin anti tank gun.
@@4_vaccuum_salesman_of_marr944 By asking that, you made your mental illness clear... As well as your total ignorance regarding the war in Ukraine, and world events in general.
Your right we shouldn't laugh at this. 200 souls died for nothing other then to see how the US military would respond. That being said the fact they gave everyone a medal for just surviving is hilarious and is basically the worlds saddest participation trophy.
The US has an enemy marksmanship badge too, It's called a Purple Heart. Russian or American such a badge should be treated with respect, for surviving what most could not.
Another fun fact for those who didn’t know. The US Air Force is the largest in the world by far…followed by guess what the US Navy as the second largest air force in the world😂
And I love when she’s was like, those are drones? Not other have mere drones. We have autonomous, remotely piloted. Globe spanning aircraft. And manned. 4.5-5th/now 6th generation, manned aircraft.
The British came up with the Yankees name as a insult but Americans have accepted it in fact when we had the Civil War the south also called the north Yankees.
@2:32 that’s a javelin anti take “missle” if you will. It locks on and goes up in the air and falls on top of the turret, destroying the tank. Ukraine has had a lot of success with the ones we’ve sent them against Russia tanks. It’s a great weapon to have in you’re squad of people.
To be fair, what she was asking about was just the targeting pod of the Javelin. That’s the part you always have with you. The actual tube is a throwaway platform. You connect a missile tube to the targeting pod (the thing he was carrying with the ball on the front) and then discard the tube after firing while keeping the targeting pod.
I just happen to see your video about the USN destroying half the Iranian navy in 8 hours, and specifically came here looking for this one! Very happily now a Subscriber.
It's insane that essentially soldiers for hire that signed up for a job would decide to commit suicide by enthusiastically agreeing to engage US, knowing they are practically unarmed and defenseless. At least they got awarded with the Darwin award.
7:29 a lot of Europeans do too. Had to do with the song "Yankee Doodle" which was made to make fun of the Revolutionaries but instead we made it our battle song to say "we don't give two s*it about what you think"
At 2:32, when she asks, "What's that?" It's the Command Launch Unit (CLU) for a Javelin antitank missile. You can see the actual missile resting on the ground next to him. He's just using the optics to scan the area. They're all the rage in the Russo-Ukrainian War right now and many a Russian tank has "popped off" due to them! 🤣👍
I'm not sure if this is a perfect example of 'fuck around and find out', 'play stupid games win stupid prizes', or a combination of the two considering how much of a massacre this was.
Yankees depending on where you are in the States can mean multiple things. I am a Southerner, so the term Yankee is a negative thing. But, mostly it was a negative term during the Revolutionary War, that British Soldiers gave us for our rag tag uniforms and equipment. Hence the song I'm a Yankee doodle dandy, a Yankee doodle till I die. A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the 4th of July.
When she asks at 10:10 "what are they looking at", you're seeing two scenes spliced together. The first scene with the two guys looking down a scope in daylight is either a spotter optic at a range, or a surveyor's glass for plotting terrain. The second scene is through the optics of a night vision reticle at night. *Despite putting the scenes back to back, they are not connected.* You would not want to look into night vision optics during daytime because you'll either see nothing of use or mildly blind yourself.
2:35 It's probably a javelin anti tank guided missile. It can penetrate the armor of most known Battle Tanks from a couple thousand metres. IT's fire and forget
This is how you deal with those kind of people this is how you save lives. You noticed they didn't approach a second time. How many times did they not even think of it.
Can you imagine how that phone call a month later went down? This is the Commander of the US Army, do you really want to FAFO again?!!! Russian Commander.... No, no we don't we're retreating hahaha
I personally do think it's funny how they got steamrolled. We have a saying here in the US. FAFO. Stands for "F around and find out". the Russians f'd around and found out.
I know that the British called us yankees during the revolution. During the Civil War us southerners called a Northerner's yankees. If you go to the South today and you call a Southerner a Yankee you'll probably be laughed at
When a force comes to take out what they perceive as a weaker/easier target, there is only so much sympathy to give if that doesn't end up being the case.
2:35 is a javelin anti-tank system, I think, Ms. The round goes up and then straight down on top of a tank, hitting it where the least armour is. Not sure, I was a basic rifleman in the USMC, so that system was part of weapons company.
I think the device at 2:35 is something with a zoom lense it's being used as a telescope to see things which are far away. I'll bet it has infrared as well so it could highlight vehicle engines. I'm really not sure and I'm guessing; but it has to be something like this. I imagine it will also tell how far away something is. It's important to know if something is 1000 meters away or if it's 3000. I bet it has a laser and it can gauge distance. The man will communicate this to the artillery and to the helicopters and they will fire on the spot which the device suggests.
For much of the world Yankee = American. In America, Yankee would be a American that lives in the Northern United States. As others have stated it became popular from the British during the revolutionary war.
Yankee is a British term for Americans. It is a derogatory term and most British people I know believe it is the same as what they would call a wanker today. Must be a weird British thing. Anyhow, we embrace those who like to call us names and gladly accept the term because it is so much more fun to see the shock in our enemies' eyes when we do.
@damedusa5107 Lol We know our own history, Yankee was derogatory at first, maybe a term for Dutch pirates, maybe something else. Doesn't matter we like it. Call us Yankees, call us Devil Dogs, but don't try to fight us. Or do and learn why we like to be called names, it makes us laugh when people give us the excuse to fight back when shot at or attacked somehow. Haha
React to when america invaded Afghanistan 20 years ago on first night of invasion they have live news feed with bombs dropping from sky for hours buildings and cities destroyed very horrific but beautiful art. America technology is crazy
The Russians in the phone calls are not actually saying, "Yankees." They use the word, "Pindos," which is a non-translatable slur used specifically against Americans.
If you ever wondered what would happen when you poke a stick and throw a rock at a Hornet’s nest……THIS is what happens! 😮 Lesson learned: Never enter a 21st Century Battlefield with a 20th Century mindset and equipment.
I can attest to that, when little (a very long time ago) I was running around swinging a rubber tomahawk, putting it through a white-tailed hornet nest-something you avoid doing a second time !
wait i know this isn't a comment really on what was going on in the video but why is there a different person in every video like are they family or is one a spouse? but yeah like always great video and super entertaining
What isn’t said in this video is that the US was well aware that the Russians and Syrians were on their way to that oil field and repeatedly attempted negotiations with the [supposed] mercenary Russian leadership to get them to stop. _The US military waited until the Russian-Syrian group began the bombardment_ before calling again to try to find out if the Russian military was behind the mercenaries and to once again tell them to desist. So, even though those in charge of Syrian televised news channels called the attack “outrageous,” the facts show that they stupidly went ahead to grab that refinery. *Evil, dishonest, DEAD.*
Many countries call Americans yankees because in the American civil war the north were called yankees (who won the war). the south were called rebels (who lost the war) so In actuality calling all Americans yankees is actually an insult to the southern part of our country.
It long predates the Civil War. The British referred to the colonists as yankees and it was meant as an insult back then. The British still call Americans yanks or yankees but it has since become more of a friendly banter similar to Americans calling them limeys (which also used to be meant as an insult). The confederates used the term yankees for the union most likely as an attempt to separate themselves even further from the north as their goal was seceding from the union as it was a separation of mindset dating back since the founding states were still colonies between the north and the south and it was never resolved and only got worse leading to the Civil War. I don't think the Russian Wagner group cared whether those in the U.S. military they were referring to as yankees were from the north or the south nor is the Civil War likely taught much outside of the U.S. other than basic mentioning. So, to any country who uses the term yankees outside of the U.S. in reference to them, it referred to any American from the U.S. based on the original usage of the term by the British. The only reason for someone from the south to be insulted by the term being used on them is that the Civil War lives in their minds more so than the Revolutionary War in which case they should rethink that. In the Revolutionary War, all the colonies were yankees and all of those who fought were seen as rebels to the British.
You may or may not be insulting me but only as an American in general not because I'm from the south. Its still used as a derogatory term but only if we are in the south. Even then its to varying degrees. It's all about the context

woah new indian just dropped LETS GO
I personally do think it's funny how they got steamrolled. We have a saying here in the US. FAFO. Stands for "F around and find out".
the Russians f'd around and found out.
"Who is taking these pictures?" Asking the real questions lmao
You forget the modern technologies😂😂😂
Around 2:35 "what's that" ? It appears to be a Javelin anti-tank missile.
Ur mom
2:51 that is the JLTV, it is replacing the Humvee. You guys should react to the new weapons to replace the M4 and M249. They are the M5 and M250.
I know that the British called us yankees during the revolution. During the Civil War us southerners called a Northerner's yankees. If you go to the South today and you call a Southerner a Yankee you'll probably be laughed at
At the 2:34 mark, the Soldier was holding a site (targeting optics) of the Javelin anti-tank missile.
I believe they left the last vehicle for the other to have a way to take away their wounded.
When a force comes to take out what they perceive as a weaker/easier target, there is only so much sympathy to give if that doesn't end up being the case.
2:35 is a javelin anti-tank system, I think, Ms. The round goes up and then straight down on top of a tank, hitting it where the least armour is. Not sure, I was a basic rifleman in the USMC, so that system was part of weapons company.
The Javelin missile does go up and down. But it also can go straight too.
Just think if they had A10 in the sky . Ouch hahahaha
garbage aircraft is the A10
@@justsavv6378 Your lack of intelligence this aircraft is showing .
nope the A10 is a hunk of useless metal@@JacobMoy-ij5om
Suuuuure, whatever you say. The A10 is trash. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I think the device at 2:35 is something with a zoom lense it's being used as a telescope to see things which are far away. I'll bet it has infrared as well so it could highlight vehicle engines. I'm really not sure and I'm guessing; but it has to be something like this.
I imagine it will also tell how far away something is. It's important to know if something is 1000 meters away or if it's 3000. I bet it has a laser and it can gauge distance. The man will communicate this to the artillery and to the helicopters and they will fire on the spot which the device suggests.
I loved your reaction (9:09) 😂 🇺🇸💪
Thank you I was wondering what's going on too.😊
For much of the world Yankee = American. In America, Yankee would be a American that lives in the Northern United States. As others have stated it became popular from the British during the revolutionary war.
The final strike on the russian convoy came from a B-52 that dropped THIRTY 2,000lb bombs on an escaping convoy
Yankee is a British term for Americans. It is a derogatory term and most British people I know believe it is the same as what they would call a wanker today. Must be a weird British thing. Anyhow, we embrace those who like to call us names and gladly accept the term because it is so much more fun to see the shock in our enemies' eyes when we do.
It’s not tho. Zero evidence of that, it is a term British called Americans but it’s not used derogatory.
@damedusa5107 Lol We know our own history, Yankee was derogatory at first, maybe a term for Dutch pirates, maybe something else. Doesn't matter we like it. Call us Yankees, call us Devil Dogs, but don't try to fight us. Or do and learn why we like to be called names, it makes us laugh when people give us the excuse to fight back when shot at or attacked somehow. Haha
Representative of US: *Called* yo bro this you?
Representative of Russia:…*Coughs*…idk…maybe…
Representative of US: Aight Bet
Remember. We are the People of the free🇺🇸
We don't start anything, but we will finish it
You're joking right?
Russia: nato stands no chance against russia.
Also russia: OMG. You survived a small skirmish with a couple americans we must make medal for you.
React to when america invaded Afghanistan 20 years ago on first night of invasion they have live news feed with bombs dropping from sky for hours buildings and cities destroyed very horrific but beautiful art. America technology is crazy
The Russians in the phone calls are not actually saying, "Yankees." They use the word, "Pindos," which is a non-translatable slur used specifically against Americans.
If you ever wondered what would happen when you poke a stick and throw a rock at a Hornet’s nest……THIS is what happens! 😮
Lesson learned: Never enter a 21st Century Battlefield with a 20th Century mindset and equipment.
I can attest to that, when little (a very long time ago) I was running around swinging a rubber tomahawk, putting it through a white-tailed hornet nest-something you avoid doing a second time !

We're friends, always. Hope you guys know that.
They gave them time to get the "f**k out" but some people are to dense.....
wait i know this isn't a comment really on what was going on in the video but why is there a different person in every video like are they family or is one a spouse? but yeah like always great video and super entertaining
this gives a good idea of what might happen if America joins the fight in Ukraine
Shit would be over in week 🎉
That was just a little bity taste of American freedom baby
You see what Wagner went through is called, a dramatic emotional experience.
They fucked around, and they found out
Sir... America knows...Everything.
Good post.
They left the 1 battle tank on purpose so that they could tell the story of what happened.
What isn’t said in this video is that the US was well aware that the Russians and Syrians were on their way to that oil field and repeatedly attempted negotiations with the [supposed] mercenary Russian leadership to get them to stop. _The US military waited until the Russian-Syrian group began the bombardment_ before calling again to try to find out if the Russian military was behind the mercenaries and to once again tell them to desist. So, even though those in charge of Syrian televised news channels called the attack “outrageous,” the facts show that they stupidly went ahead to grab that refinery. *Evil, dishonest, DEAD.*
That's a laser used to mark targets fro US tomahawk missiles.
Well, we were attacked first, we even called them to confirm what was going on, but they persisted. Our hands are clean.
Many countries call Americans yankees because in the American civil war the north were called yankees (who won the war). the south were called rebels (who lost the war) so In actuality calling all Americans yankees is actually an insult to the southern part of our country.
@Atheos B. Sapien I guess it like calling someone from England a brit ina way
It long predates the Civil War. The British referred to the colonists as yankees and it was meant as an insult back then. The British still call Americans yanks or yankees but it has since become more of a friendly banter similar to Americans calling them limeys (which also used to be meant as an insult). The confederates used the term yankees for the union most likely as an attempt to separate themselves even further from the north as their goal was seceding from the union as it was a separation of mindset dating back since the founding states were still colonies between the north and the south and it was never resolved and only got worse leading to the Civil War.
I don't think the Russian Wagner group cared whether those in the U.S. military they were referring to as yankees were from the north or the south nor is the Civil War likely taught much outside of the U.S. other than basic mentioning. So, to any country who uses the term yankees outside of the U.S. in reference to them, it referred to any American from the U.S. based on the original usage of the term by the British.
The only reason for someone from the south to be insulted by the term being used on them is that the Civil War lives in their minds more so than the Revolutionary War in which case they should rethink that. In the Revolutionary War, all the colonies were yankees and all of those who fought were seen as rebels to the British.
Thanks for mentioning this. Saves me from doing it.😂😂
Stop living in the past;
You may or may not be insulting me but only as an American in general not because I'm from the south. Its still used as a derogatory term but only if we are in the south. Even then its to varying degrees. It's all about the context
Yeah. And who was the President at this time in 2018?
Yes
