The Ukrainian military is now the most cross trained military in the world....from NATO countries advanced weapons to Soviet era weapons.
Russia will win over Ukraine and its ally America
Well said!
you can stand with Ukraine, sit with Ukraine, laugh with Ukraine, cry with Ukraine... there is just one thing you can't do with Ukraine and Max Barskih said it best.
@@Thewhiteandorange what’s that?
@@lowbornfabrication ruclips.net/video/qvZOS4ArYeA/видео.html
American stuff, British stuff, German stuff, Turkish stuff, Russian stuff, their own stuff, all manner of other countries' stuff..... These guys can learn to use it all, and quickly!
Their tenacity, inventiveness, adaptability is impressive- even if they don't get into NATO anytime soon, I feel they will be a valuable 'lessons learned' resource to NATO on interoperability and how to effectively utilise disparate systems for a common objective.
Faced with a sneaky, vicious, infamous, cowardly and lying enemy like russia, membership in NATO is inevitable and the only guarantee for Ukraine that this tragedy will not be repeated.
All they need is an even playing field and they will get rid of the infestation all by themselves. The job of the Free World is now to make sure to close the material gap and grant the Ukrainians a fair game. And I agree - Ukraine will be a very valuable asset to NATO.
great manpower for Germany's industry... If any of them survive
@@Hector_Malot In other words Russia by their own actions caused that to happen which they so desperately wanted to prevent!!! Oh, the irony...
@@aldoconciso get lost with you ruSSian type sarcasm onuco
Fun fact: those camo nets are made by Ukrainian arts and crafts groups from schools and communities all over the country. Everyone is doing their part, slava Ukraine 🇺🇦✊🏻
What the hell, Really...Damn its pretty good actually
I know personally it's spread to other countries as well. In Latvia, we make them at schools and workplaces and then donate to Ukraine along donated vehicles or humanitarian aid.
Americans are making them too for Ukraine. SLAVA Ukraini!
When they sing while working.
Wow nice info
They look fit, well fed, calm, not exhausted. Impressive and heartening to see that.
I mean they wouldn't film ragged troops for the propaganda though.
@@scoobydoobers23 Ukraine is not having any problem feeding their troops. Some who would not give lethal aid have provided tons of their MRE's.
@@williamjackson5942 I'm not saying Ukraine is struggling with food. I'm just saying that you can't use literal propaganda to judge the condition of the troops.
The dude's response is classic artillery. "We just shoot in the direction we are told and hope for the best".
Even old equipment can be effective if it is good quality and used with skill. I used to shoot .303 Enfield rifels many years ago that were very old and slow to use but staggeringly powerful and accurate. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 from the UK!
one wonders tho about the 35 year old rounds, 8-87 was stenciled on the case
compared to an ATGM, this is not very effective.
This is a terrible take, If you were in a war zone on the front lines you would get suppressed in a heartbeat. Im very much on Ukraines side but this hypocritical view of Russia using outdated equipment = terrible garbage and Ukraine using outdated equipment = great and resourceful is just dumb.
@@tooschoolforcool1858 depends on how well you use said equipment.
@@tooschoolforcool1858 this weapon is supposed to be an anti tank artilery system with a range of 8km. while a regular Russian Kornet ATGM has 10km range, is mobile and is laser guided. comapred to that, this weapon is useles.
With drone spotters that's a very effective system. And it saves the large artillery pieces for hitting deep and taking out supply and command centers. There's no such thing as an outdated piece of equipment if it's that accurate. Great Job Boys!!
Slava Ukraine!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦✌️✝️
Putin is not after the Ukrianians he is going after the deep state cabal that zionist superpowers are behind and the sad part is human life stands in the middle ground. It's nato, it's the bolshievik power structure under the false pretense of ukrainian nationalism.
well said 👏i have been amazed at the drones the Ukrainians have been using, not only are they used as spotters which has given the Ukrainians ability to land a shell on a orcs head but the drones have gave us ringside seats to a Russian ass whipping, we are seeing with our own eyes what's really going on and not being told what's happening by biased media channels.
God bless you Ukraine - stay strong 💪
Artillery + drone spotters = A very deadly and efficient combo!
That gun has a barrel that need to be changed.

In my country which is pretty much in the center of Europe, i see a lot Ukranian Cars ( expensive cars) with Ukranian licensplates driving around and i'm asking myself what the hell are you doing here?

Go back to Russia, troll.
Those guys have guts. If they are every spotted by a Russian drone, they are in real trouble; a short-range and not very mobile system. Still, 100mm guns could do damage 80 years ago; they can do damage now. As long as they survive.

I think people sometimes forget the actual physical labor involved. Even trenches and other daily tasks are all heavily work. Amazing courage though, these guys are really doing their families and the world proud
That's why women aren't generally suitable for frontline roles.
Ukrainian heavy gunnery skills are legendary now. World class and no mistake.
I have seen some in service with Bulgaria.
Whilst it may not be the best to use against modern tanks, it's quite readily available and is relatively quick to move and position for a gun of its size.
If I remember correctly, it's main advantages were when used on the offensive and towed by IFVs, but mobility has a defensive advantage too.
Of course shooting a closer range is best as well, but... quite dangerous.

It's obsolete and it's almost a crime to set men the task of trying to hit tanks with this, when the T-72's and T-80's have HE ammunition with a similar range. The tanks can move, but the Rapira marks it's position with an enormous puff of smoke, and can't budge an inch. It's just asking to be immediately taken out with return fire. Plus, it's relatively inaccurate.
@@tasmedic True, it's old AF, but it's hardly the only CW unit being pressed into service or being in service. Both sides have lost so many T's since this circus started that I find it refreshing to put so much faith in those things. It would be situational, but an old anti-tank gun is probably often better than no anti-tank gun. Man-portable AT weapons aren't perfect either. TBH, this really is one of the more mobile AT guns and it's not like they got Boxers or Parthias with the latest AT guns on them.
Totally useless against modern tanks but then again, it'll wreck any IFV or APC it can land a hit on, and I bet it can crack those T-62s Russia had to bring into service.
I hope their aim is true and every shell will bring VICTORY closer to Ukraine 🇺🇦

I wouldn't go counting chickens is all I'm going to say. It is much to early to call the victor in this conflict.
Hopefully, but at this stage in the war it's a tossup
The hope, spirit, determination and grit of the Ukrainian Soldier far outweighs the dismal, down, drunk and emotionally deserted Russian soldier. Ukrainian soldiers will win the day, the year, and the war because the Russian soldier is simply a chaotic derelict relic of an evil past that cannot rise again.

The size of the shells and lasting noise when it's fired. You can literally hear it tearing through the air. The impact must be devastating...
It’s only 100mm shells, so not that big of an impact. They’re best for direct fire.
@@afcgeo882 I believe in contrary that the impact is very strong. Not a large blast but very deep. This is an antitank gun so the projectile is at least supersonic to bring the energy to pierce armor. A wall or a tank will get blasted through easy peasy because of the kinetic energy on impact. That’s why I say it must be devastating. It’s not comparable with a howitzer that comes in slowly and parabolic but with lots of explosives.
@@thedanza865 we get
It. Someone always has to play expert.
@@thedanza865 it depend on the thickness of the tanks sides
@@thedanza865 This uses HEAT charges, so the round is sub-sonic, but it’s still very effective on APCs, IFVs and even on tanks when hit from the side/rear.

These young men are amazing such Patriotism love for their country and freedom. Sadly here in the US it’s fading, for me it’s a feeling like no other at times. I think a whole generation sadly will never experience this feeling
freedom in the us hahahahaha
@@karlrasur8356 Better than getting paid in Rubel
We are so overpowered in terms of basically every area, invading other countries that don't have established armies isn't exactly something to be proud of especially of you aren't the one doing it
We've given up much of our freedom here in the US and so many here don't really care about that. We have had so many terrible people lead this country down the wrong path for far too long, there seems to be no end in sight for the power US politicians and others crave, it is truly sick. Here in the US we have let our culture rot and degrade, people are proud of knowing nothing important and so many of them can't even comprehend why the US supporting Ukraine is so important. A lot of people here have eaten up Russian propaganda with glee, as well as all the political propaganda we get rammed down our throats by our own politicians, think tanks, colleges, and the "elite" who supposedly know better than us how we should live out lives.
Ukraine is finding out the hard way a very important lesson that many in the West have forgotten, Freedom isn't free, the cost of Freedom is very high in blood, lives, fortunes and those who are innocent. Though I do believe that the Ukrainians will not forget this lesson anytime soon, they won't stand for the corruption that is there and they'll burn it out wherever they find it hopefully.
When war hit your country all turn to patriots , even fat americans and socialist swedes
Looks like a simple, rugged, effective piece of artillery. It does the job. If WW2 German 88mm all purpose guns were still in service, they would be used as well. A formidable weapon.
FYI there ARE places that still use old german 8.8 guns. Some of the Arty being used is from WW2. Some of the rifles are from WW1 (Mosin Nagant).
@@smokejaguarsix7757 Even the Maxim 1910 is still in use in Ukraine, a great machine gun for fixed defensive positions.
@@Canofasahi just no it’s wack Compared to modern ones
The German 88mm would still be a formidable piece of equipment in the right hands today. I wish the Germans were more charitable today with their weapons today. The German's still make some of the best tanks and guns. Germany get 100% behind Ukraine because all our worst fears will still happen if we let Ruzzian Orcs carry on they way the are. I firmly believe we (NATO)should call Ruzzia's bluff and say "Your not fighting the Ukraine. You are fighting us too". It's bold but Ruzzia only listens to strength.
@@Canofasahi and thats what this is and why they can just leave it. This is probably in a well established defensive line near a main supply route within reach of indirect fire. If it gets destroyed they lose little. Meanwhile they use it for fire missions. Win/win.
All hail to ukraine and these dudes!! My new favorite nation. Im swedish but your the vikings in this day of age for sure! Respekt!!
Vikings didnt fight for jewish interests.
Vikings weren't warriors... Stop saying that
@@alex-ragnarson3482 when did i say that? But raiding involved a lot of fighting so if they werent warriors how did they concered england and ireland? Please explain..
The 100-mm cannon is a powerful AT gun deployed in vast numbers in AT regiments by the soviets and such nations as Syria in the '60s and 70s. It is vital that such systems be pressed into defensive combat since the Ukraine OOB seems (understandably) to eschew such venerable towed AT guns in favour of ATGMs. Here, however, the colourful crew is using the piece, seemingly successfully) in an indirect role from discrete positions at maximum range. But imagine the value of 40 or 120 such pieces in a last ditch urban or rear-slope defence, firing those huge AP shells (designed to pierce King Tiger front armour) from rubble positions over open sights at onrushing stalinist tanks...
We are not in 1945 boy. Welcome to 2022. That shell is an apcbc shell. They cannot pen shit agaist composite armor. They are using it mainly as artillery piece
@@augustineanagnosti4549 they're using in sniper role, long range direct fire. it can still destroy light armor and damage tanks. what's incredible is they just leave the gun in place day after day and it doesn't get destroyed?
@@KirbyZhang So many Russian military vehicles have been destroyed so far that there are plenty of stolen civilian vehicles with supplies and Zs on them that still need tactical destroying
@@KirbyZhang sniping? not realy. Its kinda more psychological or against light vehicles. In this role like they showed it here, its only usefull if they have HE-Ammunition.
@@augustineanagnosti4549 The shells that they're using might very well be HEATFS, looking down the barrel at the end shows that its smoothbore and as such using it as a "sniper" role with indirect fire would be completely impossible with normal shells that aren't fin stabilized. HEATFS for the 100mm is still potent, especially if the vehicles they're firing at is light armor or the older T62s that Russia sems to be pumping to the frontlines.
A-IX-2 soviet era explosive mix of rdx nano al and wax in these shell is extremely effective against light armoured targets.
Stay strong Ukraine Heroes. Respect from Poland to you.
In this clip, this gun is being used as artillery, not as an anti-tank gun. It can fire High-Explosive Fragmentation rounds out to about 8Km, and so it can engage hostile troops, buildings and area targets.
but finns have same 100mm or had and it could fire 15 kg? round to 18 km
Except the gunner is telling us that he’s targeting vehicles, and the rounds he’s using are only good for 6,400m.
Maybe it has different kinds of ammunition for different cases?, High-Explosive Fragmentation for area effects, and maybe it has a specific type of Amor-Piercing round designed for heavily armored targets like tanks?
@@afcgeo882 correct, it may not be effective against newer tanks, but it is still potentially good against light APC and refueling support vehicles. Tanks are useless without fuel and ammo.
@@LuminousCatt It uses HEAT rounds against armor.
Damn!!
Its powerful 💥💥
Still effective weapons and capable of taking out T72's. They're small weapons, easy to conceal and can snipe from cover.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
You are a warmonger
☝️🇺🇲🇺🇦😂🇺🇦🇺🇦 dam right
The tremendous downside is a lack of mobility. If the muzzle blast from that gun is detected, the crew won't stand a chance against direct or indirect fire. This kind of weapon needs a small drive train that can quickly attach to move the gun and crew after a few rounds. Shoot and scoot.
At nearly 6km, doubtful. Good against lightly armoured kit mind. Those are HEAT rounds being fired not APDS.
no, its not an effective weapon. its been retired for over 30 years now in the Russian army. just goes to show how desperate Ukraine is now.
Make sure to wet the dirt in front of the muzzle and around the muzzle area to keep the dirt / dust from kicking up and exposing your position…heard this from an old German who knew a thing or two about this
Wise one
Really interesting to see a modern conflict. A brutal first phase, then it’s all about drones and artillery

Take great care Guys, and don't stay in one Fire Position for long!👏👏
I am no expert, but I can't see them hitting much with an anti-tank gun fired in a ballistic trajectory. I know the Soviets had those dual-purpose type of guns starting during WWII (Zis-2). But still, using them in ballistic mode would be more of a deterrent action more than a destructive one. Anti-tank guns are meant to be fired in direct mode for a reason...
This had to be a demonstration for the video. I'm sure they have a choice of rounds, depending on fire mission.
agreed but I remember a video on the news during the first round of fighting in Chechnya where Russian troops were shelling what looked to be a small town with a 100mm AT gun. That wasn't all that long ago. Soviet artillery doctrine evidently carries on even more than I thought, I guess.
Yep, and any rifling left in the barrel was eroded a long time ago.
@@oscarweasley2618 It's a smoothbore gun.
They (100 mm Rapiras) are too weak for modern and not-so-modern armour like old versions of T-72 or 64 anyway. But firing 2 km or less at the tank could be the last what you do in your life. Firing from the long distance with HE rounds could be not very effective, but is much safer. I believe that is the reason.
Balls of steel those anti tank gunners. ✊
Freedom will prevail Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦✌️
Deus os proteja e guarde nossos Herois um abraco de Portugal🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼
If you walk in the trajectory of that gun I don't think you'll survive when a shell is being shot
the gunner here has one of the very few legitimate reasons for wearing a cap backwards. pay attention people.
What exactly are you trying to say?
@@โต้ง-ล3ต Most probably that if the cap is forward you can't use the aiming optics.
Мы идём за вами .Россия 💪
That looks like hard work.
Well the average Russian tank is about the same age and era as these anyway…..so these old anti-tank guns should work just fine against all the mediocre Russian tanks
Oh... fun times! I remember digging recoil pits for the M198 Towed 155mm Howitzer.
I think the goal here was to enable the gun to aim higher, and as a result fire at a longer distance.
Yes that’s what a recoil pit is…
@@flitsertheo Chris ss is right, we had to dig them for the M198 because it was a "long recoil" gun system. My understanding is that there is no need to do this for the M777. IDK though, the M777 didn't exist when I served (the late 80s to early 90s).

3:17 that is a damaged shell and a no no to shoot. Also the breach were you load the shells and the muzzle is painted red, in Europe this is common with training equipment so the 100 anti tank gun they have there is a unit used for training most likely
Same with russian t 62s, even if its an old gun i still dont want to be on the receiving side because even old equipment can very much kill me
Slava Ucraina, always with the fighting peoples !!!

... and I see that Russia has had to press some T-62s into front-line service.
and 65 year olds
I'm not sure the T62s are being used by Russia. I think they gave them to the DPNR rebels. The Russians are using the rebels as "cannon fodder" so Putler won't have as many casualties.
@@paddington1670 At least they fit the tanks! :P
Russia is lucky they are not surrounded by aggressive countries, their military has been exposed, their weapons are outdated and they are afraid to send new weapons to the front for fear of losing them. Pootin has failed politically, militarily, and economically. It's time for him to cut his losses and pull out. Ukraine does not want to be a puppet state.
@@cozethugo4674 If that's correct, it would be a fraction of what HIMARS has destroyed over the past few weeks. Slava Ukraine.
100mm caliber, it's not a negligible punch. You can get a BMP easily with that, and put out of action, if not outright destroy, a tank. And against soft targets, it does the job properly. Useful anyway the age does not matter.
Sending love to the Russians, Soviet-style.
I always wonder if they have people out there spotting where these massive shells are actually landing
Probably drones
Victory to Ukraine whatever kit they use.
I admire the Ukrainians for the dogged determination they have for defending their homeland. I'm embarrassed to say that Canada's support has being insufficient. Canada i a very weak country yet thinks that it has a lot of international clout because we're supposedly all so friendly and tolerant. There are also a lot of nutters who think the war is a hoax and part of a larger conspiracy. I hope the people of Ukraine will not hold this against those of us who do genuinely support you.
