Hey guys! Thank you for all the views and feedback, I just wanted to let you know I have read your comments about suggestions on other interviews and I have now more videos coming up with people on the front. Follow the channel and stay tuned! Also, the guy on this video want to do another video - what would you like him to show you or talk about?
It would be interesting to hear how war is shaping the sniping craft, what are the challenges on the battlefield for a sniper today. The front line is highly saturated with thermal drones and also approach routes being controlled by bombers and the kamikaze fpv. How can you deal with the drone threat? What is his strategy as a sniper to survive and stay effective

As someone that's been involved with this line of work for a long long time......This dude has fucking top notch gear. Like....better gear than some outfits i know that are backed by the biggest military in the world. The optic alone on one specific rifle is 10 grand.
More then 10 grand and some states we can’t have a 50 bmg like NY where I live this makes me sick our own military doesn’t get this stuff and Ukraine is a dictatorship like Russia
@@ironfistvail I doubt Ukrainian civilians were able to purchase firearms like the ones in the video before the war. Come to Florida and enjoy the freedom bro
As a layman when it comes to the modern weapons and equipment used in present-day warfare, this was very interesting and glad it came across in my youtube feed. Thanks for this video.
@@Nick-tl7ts Just searched it up but theres a possibility that level IV plates could stop maybe a round? But honestly your insides are probably liquified if you were ever shot at with that cartridge 😂
Misty thank you for getting a up close shot of the Archer scope. I was really hoping I can see what the buttons look like and how it worked. 10/10 Production skills.
The leopard socks are the icing on the cake. Because in war everything is fair, but you never say no to fashion ✨ (the operational calm with which each weapon has a space/use in this dude's mind is outstanding)
That thermal camouflage poncho is wild it never occurred to me that you could just mess with the wavelength that thermal optics work on instead of trying to mask actual heat radiation
Pretty sure, you can watch 2 videos from american gun channels to know this words. Also mostly everyone who are younger than 30, was learning or are still learning English in schools and universities. I may not be a soldier but I know this words from videos/games
immense respect for the work that you all do , thank you for protecting Europe, I am from France and the Ukrainian cause has my entire support , one can only wish this ends as soon as possible, be blessed, be as safe as you can, and I hope we'll all be able to enjoy a peaceful europe soon thanks to all of you courageous defenders, Slava Ukraini ! thank you.
You got some bad ass gear brother, it’s unfortunate that you have to be fighting the fight that you are. I salute you and your countrymen for your innovation, we here in the states understand that forged under fire is a lifestyle and as close to a religion as it gets. Keep up the good fight! 🇺🇸🇺🇦💪👊
thank you for the walk through your kit, You sound like a well educated, skilled and pragmatic individual I wish you all the best for your future in your current role and the next one, its hard to know what to say to a combat soldier, but I hope you stay safe and your bullets go where they need to go and this is done as soon as possible.
That's a pretty good arsenal, that scope on the MRAD looks very interesting. it is a very accurate rifle from what I've seen. What distances do you usually shoot it?
Hey. I forwarded your question and this is the answer I got: "Not more than 1000m preferably, max 1200m, and if it’s more than 700 meters you better shoot two rifles simultaneously to increase a chance of hit, since you can’t read the wind at night time. So one rifle is shooting lowest parameter of wind and other - the highest, these parameters are being measured on a position itself with a Kestrel."
" ... Here you also framed not with parameters of rifle or your shooting skills, but parameters of a thermal scope. Archer’s picture isn’t good after 1000m."
Impressed by how proficient the fellow comes off across platforms, might still be best as a sniper, but being on the side getting invaded yet having the time & resource in such a situation to train up the skills to operate (and have) top line equipment like that is impressive! Added points for the humility at the end!
As an Ukrainian living in USA for over 2 decades...I get so disoriented while grasping the fact that just 2 years ago people were travelling to work and living life normally there. Going to Black Sea for vacation, and never touching a gun. Now same people are calmly talking about guns and how they are protecting themselves from an enemy It's an indescribable feeling and thought pattern, realizing how in 2 years the whole life can change. These men calmly speak while there is nothing calm, like before the war. I know this pacing well, same pacing I would hear in the gym while talking to random people. I used to visit every 2 years or so, and visit family and friends there. Most friends are displaced to other countries, or fighting this war currently. Respect to all the soldiers fighting this war against Russia. It's somber experience watching this videos. You feel respect, but immense sadness for these soldiers. As Ukraine will never let them leave the country now. It's the fight, but you don't get to choose when you stop. Next to your last breaths.
That just shows you don’t really know what is going on in your “beloved ukraina” and it’s only for show, you are full of it. The war been on since 2014. For almost 8 years now kids, women, men, were being killed and bombed by ukrainian army. And they did it against their own citizens, they were killing their own brothers. Then Russia stepped in. For 8 years ukrainians in Donbas couldn’t take their kids outside, to school, their bakeries and hospitals were bombed, all by ukrainian army. You clearly have no idea what is going on and stop pretending to care. Another fake ukrainian abroad trying to politicize this conflict and “bring fake awareness” by supplying false and inaccurate statements.
American GWoT Veteran, Former 2111 and 45B speaking. This guy is a true warfighting professional and Armorer/Gunsmith! Sir, one day, I hope you can make it to the USA and teach our new Soldiers and Marines at the Ordnance Training Schools or Recon/Scout Sniper Schools. Your calm and resiliency would be an INSPIRATION to incoming Warfighters. I hope you make it through this godforsaken brother war. A calamity on all sides. And YES!!

Thank you for this excellent video. I was particularly interested in the camouflage/ghillies. They looked great, and the poncho-like set up, with clips, sounds better than any idea I had. Watching airsoft videos and ghillies, and how effective they are, I wonder why I don't see most Ukrainian soldiers wearing them. Thank you, again!
Airsoft gear is certainly used when you can't afford the real stuff, and during the day it can be an okay option. There's several problems with it though. The design is often not backed by any serious research and therefor might blend in into some environments but change the environment just a little bit (maybe the leaves are of a different type of a tree in a forset) and it starts doing the opposite, you stand out more than the normal uniform. Military gear is designed to work in as many different environments as is practically possible, so when you're moving from a forest into a wheat field and then onto a side of a road, it works decently in camouflaging you, mabye not perfectly, but enough to buy you a precious couple of seconds before you duck into cover. There's also an isssue with thermals, if the wrong dye or wrong material is used, it can make the gear light up on thermals much more than even a standard issue uniform. Static camouflage is nice but camouflage during movement is also important. By using smart shapes and colours you break up the outline of the human body so that the observer, from a sufficient distance, has a hard time processing the visual input. The observer maybe has a "oh what's that" moment, tries to get a better look, can't be sure if he saw an animal of some sorts, a human, maybe just a rock, tries to take a second look, and by that time, if you're doing what you're supposed to do, you completely broke line of sight. The observer didn't engage from first sight because giving away his position is also very risky for him, and sometimes, you have to confirm it's not friendlies in the area.
@@rer509 IR is different from thermal. There's not much you can do against thermal but there are ways to lessen it's effects. With IR you need materials that do not reflect the frequency.
This interview was really interesting. I haven't "interacted" with the war at all until basically now through this vid. I saw that you have other vids on the channel, along with some new stuff coming along. Du är svensk också! lycka till.
That Ukrainian scope /thermal, range finder /ballistic calculator is WILD! Some people forget that Ukraine is known globally as a top tier military tech, weapons & vehicles producer! Russia has consistently tried to get a hold of Ukraine equipment. Perfect example is they from the ground up engineered and built an assembly line for a NEW high mobility howitzer , shoot and scoot vehicle, tier 1 armor, a new 6 wheel drive system with automatic locking differentials when tractions lost , like a limited slip but better becasue it auto locks the diff so both wheels get full power. A system that works on its own so the driver just has to focus on driving , not worrying about terrain & operating lockers potentially getting stuck and becoming a target. It can scoot after firing much quicker than any other mobile howitzer like the Archer or HIMARS, built in sensors and radar equipment to detect incomming fire, reliable engine that can be repaired by the crew with no real slecial knowlwsge or tools, a coma set up that is able to patch in to western/friendly countries , a rate of fire faster than all other mobile howitzers! They built it ground up, created an assembly line built tear vehicles , tested & made adjustments and now their deployed and producing several per month. Ukraine is also a leader in robotics much like Estonia , the US Army is testing some Ukrainian combat /logistic unmanned robotic vehicles. Ukrainian war fighters are top tier , they’ve been fighting Russian Spetznaz since 2014 , Ukrainian Special Forces regularly train with US Tier 1 Special Operations Units, UK SAS , Polish GRU , German spec ops , they regularly spend a lot of time in the US side by side training with our tier 1 elements, they’re all about learning everything they can from the best of the best around the world. Up until the invasion the participates in Special training , exercises & demos with DELTA, SEAL Team 6 & were seen on board 160th SOAR little birds along with DELTA Force Operators conducting inner city Operations at night flying through the streets to a building top for “training”. NATO & the US Military will all benefit so much from Ukraine joining NATO with all their experince fighting Russia in a new era of war never seen & what well all be facing with a China /Russia conflict. I disagree with the rule that a country can’t join NaTO when in an active conflict because Russia invaded to keep Ukraine from joining NATO and their invasion made it so Ukraine can’t join even though they’ve been wanting to join for years. I do t think Putin should have a say in Ukraine joining, they should be allowed to , then we could all put troops on ground and help end this war, get western fighter jets in the sky easilly gaining air superiority , then we could really push Russia out.
this guy is special forces, they mostly buy their own gear with their own paychecks. only weapons are really issued. the average ukrainian soldier is way less equipped than this guy (no offense)
@@Garf1eldFanat1c you have no idea what you are talking ab no they do not...if they are getting paid enough to buy auto m4s and barret mrads sign me up I'll fight.. you are literally one of those ppl that regurgitates false info respectively...coming from a gun nut that knows ab all of these items
@garrettpittman7374 It's not false info tho. Many of these guys buy their own gear. Obviously not the rifles, most of those are issued. But any uniforms, pouches, some comms gear, plate carriers and plates, etc is bought with their own money. Even Russians buy their own gear upgrades if they can. And this is info coming from a friend who has been in Bakhmut and fought in Ukraine for about a year
@@Gmny1MOA I legit said "only weapons are really issued" referring to them not needing to pay for their firearms. also if you want to fight with MRADS and M4's then i think you should go to your nearest US army recruiter
It has been my experience with the m4 or semi-auto version(AR-15) if you have a well made rifle you very rarely need to oil the weapon. Of course when cleaning sure but, if you have good magazines, and a reasonably well made m4 you can run it completely dry once you clean it. If you clean it as scheduled, you should never have a problem. The suppressor will certainly make that schedule shrink lol due to the carbon build up of course.
Damn I so badly want that MRAD. Fav rifle so far, slightly above the Accuracy International AWSM. Hope to visit my friends in Ukraine soon. Great video man, Ми з вами!
@@mr.joshuah1412 I thought so I was doing some research on the brand. I see they're relatively old, I'd assume there's better out there. I don't know much about thermals so it seemed cool at first glance. Thanks!
God speed to you and all of Ukraine. I love you all and I know you will win this war and push back the evil Russians back to their border. I will always stand with you wonderful Ukrainians. Slava Ukraine.
The more you know you can change wooden parts of ak-74 into modernized parts, you don't need separate goggles or scopes for distance measurements or wind measurements, one scope can do it all!!! very interesting video. I liked it :)) P.S (is there a chance you may interview different specialty soldier? pilot, tanker, Artillery crew, FPV pilot)
@@Misty_ua every specialty mentioned in my previous comment would be very interesting to listen to, whichever you can get a chance to do. Thanks for replying! :)
@@Misty_ua A standard battle hardned TDF guy, whos seen some shit, uses a wooden stock ak74 and RG4 granades. no fancy shit but real talk from the 0 line guys
good presentation. good english too. Knows his stuff very professional The gilli is great . Only question I have is I thought thermal cloaks were a gimic. seen them advertised. Its very hard to beat a thermal imager. Keep up the good work you and your men are doing a valiant job.
This guy needs to do a video with Mike glover, GBRS GROUP, agar and thumb, KENTUCKY BALLISTICS OR DEMO RANCH AND GOVE A TUTORIAL ON CAMO AND FIREARMS!! Forreal!! Stay safe brother!! 🫡
It's amazing that he's still splashed in NIke, Pata, and Sal. It's almost like those are the only backyard war gear suppliers. Just waiting for him to pull out a FOG hat or some shit. This is wild.
Way back in the first week or two of the war it was very obvious the AK-74 was the favorite AK variant. I wonder if the "self cleaning" AK was the 74 and NOT the 47 with its 7.62 ammo. In Kurd country the AK47 with its 7.62 ammo there was usually a pile of 47's that choked during a day long training session. Breaking parts wasn't common but very dry dusty conditions + 7.62 Warsaw Pact or Chinese surplus ammo will choke a chamber unless its grossly over-sized like Lee Enfield No.4.
With any luck they would have had it fitted with a lighter trigger pack. Once it is under a certain weight it doesn't have the inertia in it to release the striker. That was back in 2017, so it is also likely this is a post-fix production unit. Luckily if you drop it in the woods you'll probably be fine, probably 🙂
Use - hopefully not. But it gets wielded when the main gun is too cumbersome, like when clearing an apartment, which is ofc assumed to be empty, you do not enter vacated houses with snipery stuff on you. With the innovation of precise AR10s the pistol is not much needed as you can just point and shoot a semi quite well or add an red dot.
@@ImNoBSING from my knowlage this dude is there to harrass enemy troop over the tranches in quiet areas of the front.. both sides post many sniper videos on telegram and its never on the front where the actions are... and another thing comes to mind about these types of videos is that i always see Russian missile strikes on civilian houses and they always say that there was no military in there but these type of videos proves them wrong.. this dude us held up in an abandoned civilian house lol if a Russian spy finds out the locations or they recieve a tip from residents and the agent send a green light then this dude is smoked...

They built it ground up, created an assembly line built tear vehicles , tested & made adjustments and now their deployed and producing several per month. Ukraine is also a leader in robotics much like Estonia , the US Army is testing some Ukrainian combat /logistic unmanned robotic vehicles.
Ukrainian war fighters are top tier , they’ve been fighting Russian Spetznaz since 2014 , Ukrainian Special Forces regularly train with US Tier 1 Special Operations Units, UK SAS , Polish GRU , German spec ops , they regularly spend a lot of time in the US side by side training with our tier 1 elements, they’re all about learning everything they can from the best of the best around the world. Up until the invasion the participates in Special training , exercises & demos with DELTA, SEAL Team 6 & were seen on board 160th SOAR little birds along with DELTA Force Operators conducting inner city Operations at night flying through the streets to a building top for “training”. NATO & the US Military will all benefit so much from Ukraine joining NATO with all their experince fighting Russia in a new era of war never seen & what well all be facing with a China /Russia conflict. I disagree with the rule that a country can’t join NaTO when in an active conflict because Russia invaded to keep Ukraine from joining NATO and their invasion made it so Ukraine can’t join even though they’ve been wanting to join for years. I do t think Putin should have a say in Ukraine joining, they should be allowed to , then we could all put troops on ground and help end this war, get western fighter jets in the sky easilly gaining air superiority , then we could really push Russia out.
Very interesting, thanks a lot for sharing 🇸🇪🇺🇦
Yall have better shirts and rigs then some of our own men
this guy is special forces, they mostly buy their own gear with their own paychecks. only weapons are really issued. the average ukrainian soldier is way less equipped than this guy (no offense)
@@Garf1eldFanat1c you have no idea what you are talking ab no they do not...if they are getting paid enough to buy auto m4s and barret mrads sign me up I'll fight.. you are literally one of those ppl that regurgitates false info respectively...coming from a gun nut that knows ab all of these items
@garrettpittman7374 It's not false info tho. Many of these guys buy their own gear. Obviously not the rifles, most of those are issued. But any uniforms, pouches, some comms gear, plate carriers and plates, etc is bought with their own money. Even Russians buy their own gear upgrades if they can. And this is info coming from a friend who has been in Bakhmut and fought in Ukraine for about a year
@@Gmny1MOA Gun nut or not, you're wrong.
@@Gmny1MOA I legit said "only weapons are really issued" referring to them not needing to pay for their firearms. also if you want to fight with MRADS and M4's then i think you should go to your nearest US army recruiter
great, thanks for this useful video description of Ukrainian Sniper's Arsenal
This dudes accent is badass
His English is outstanding
bro has hella weapons and gear in his room
Absolute Chad nothing but respect
🇸🇪🤝🇺🇦
Thank you for this, interesting to see! @Misty Ukraine
That ak trophy is crazyyy!
Crazy? Lmao gayyyyy
17:08 war thought me to be happy about little things in life
Personally that hit me hard.
The scope dopes itself. That's wild.
Next step - full dynamic AI ballistic modelling, with a Kentucky accent.
It has been my experience with the m4 or semi-auto version(AR-15) if you have a well made rifle you very rarely need to oil the weapon. Of course when cleaning sure but, if you have good magazines, and a reasonably well made m4 you can run it completely dry once you clean it. If you clean it as scheduled, you should never have a problem. The suppressor will certainly make that schedule shrink lol due to the carbon build up of course.
The guns are cool and stuff but the real question is where did he get he get his socks from? I need a pair.
He said its Dodo Socks.
Thanks for the video!
Very good information please be safe as can be and God Bless
Damn I so badly want that MRAD. Fav rifle so far, slightly above the Accuracy International AWSM. Hope to visit my friends in Ukraine soon. Great video man, Ми з вами!
Excellent video - very interesting
Thank you for sharing. Great kit you have. I agree with your gun choices, all great rifles. The AK still the best!
Archers are incredible optics.
🇺🇸 🔱 🇺🇦
Do you know the model of this optic?
@@rugged_edc TSA - 7 And they're mehhh at best.
@@mr.joshuah1412 I thought so I was doing some research on the brand. I see they're relatively old, I'd assume there's better out there. I don't know much about thermals so it seemed cool at first glance. Thanks!
@@rugged_edc Most welcome!
Very nice rundown mate .. nice kit
God speed to you and all of Ukraine. I love you all and I know you will win this war and push back the evil Russians back to their border. I will always stand with you wonderful Ukrainians. Slava Ukraine.
The more you know you can change wooden parts of ak-74 into modernized parts, you don't need separate goggles or scopes for distance measurements or wind measurements, one scope can do it all!!! very interesting video. I liked it :))
P.S (is there a chance you may interview different specialty soldier? pilot, tanker, Artillery crew, FPV pilot)
Yes I am on it, I am in Ukraine now. What kind of interview would you like to see the most?
@@Misty_ua every specialty mentioned in my previous comment would be very interesting to listen to, whichever you can get a chance to do. Thanks for replying! :)
@@Misty_ua A standard battle hardned TDF guy, whos seen some shit, uses a wooden stock ak74 and RG4 granades. no fancy shit but real talk from the 0 line guys
Is this special forces ? The equipment they have is top notch. Stay safe guys. Super cool gear.
He was a soldier before the war so a career soldier and due to the amount of equipment and quality of it he’s no doubt an elite soldier.
Great video👍🏻👍🏻, first time seeing the channel, stay safe!🙏🏻
Who manufactures the anti-thermal smock?
Velmet. Not for sale at the moment
Дякую за Тяжку Щоденну Працю! Нехай Щастить! 🫡 🇺🇦 ❤
Thank you for sharing. Stay safe soldier
Great video only thing you said that surprised me is that you chose the m4A1 over the scar. Buy rock what your most confident with. Happy hunting.
Thank you.
The FN Scar assault rifle is one of my favorite reliable accurate. Most of our Special forces have been using the FN Scar for secret missions
Thank you very insightful
Bro said "This one is a trophy" absolute fucking demon
Anyone else go shopping for thermal camo parkas immediately after watching this??
good presentation. good english too. Knows his stuff very professional
The gilli is great . Only question I have is I thought thermal cloaks were a gimic. seen them advertised. Its very hard to beat a thermal imager.
Keep up the good work you and your men are doing a valiant job.
I knew it! Croks shoes re a must in the kit
so casual like he's an airsoft guy showing all his gadgets and gear, only he's legit fighting a war... crazy.
1:24 Lapua Magnum. Cheers from Finland. 👍
Удачи пацаны. Слава Украини.
White Raven 😮 Cool... Prayers for you 🙏
that .338 lapua serious!!!!
This guy needs to do a video with Mike glover, GBRS GROUP, agar and thumb, KENTUCKY BALLISTICS OR DEMO RANCH AND GOVE A TUTORIAL ON CAMO AND FIREARMS!! Forreal!! Stay safe brother!! 🫡
What is the recon camo-suit called?
Is it available for sale?
"Ukrainian brand Velmet makes them. But I’m not sure they do international shipping now, due to need of internal users."
That scope alone more impressive then any gun I ever seen
bro is playing tarkov in real life
Damn I thought shooting 308 was expensive. That 338 is extremely expensive to shoot.
A 338 Lapua with a thermal 🤯😮
It's amazing that he's still splashed in NIke, Pata, and Sal. It's almost like those are the only backyard war gear suppliers. Just waiting for him to pull out a FOG hat or some shit. This is wild.
I ain't messing with anyone who wears Crocs
man with the trophy AK and talks about how reliable it is. It just cleans itself
Way back in the first week or two of the war it was very obvious the AK-74 was the favorite AK variant. I wonder if the "self cleaning" AK was the 74 and NOT the 47 with its 7.62 ammo. In Kurd country the AK47 with its 7.62 ammo there was usually a pile of 47's that choked during a day long training session. Breaking parts wasn't common but very dry dusty conditions + 7.62 Warsaw Pact or Chinese surplus ammo will choke a chamber unless its grossly over-sized like Lee Enfield No.4.
sounds familiar to the guy that is guest to ‚forgotten weapons‘ and ‚9-Hole Reviews‘ so chill, like its the most common thing everywhere
this guy is pretty smart, to be able to master a foreign language to this level at 25 and while being in a war.
FYI-the Sig 320 is the ONLY gun you have that’ll go off by itself!! Lol 😂 you’ve been warned 🤷♂️👍
With any luck they would have had it fitted with a lighter trigger pack. Once it is under a certain weight it doesn't have the inertia in it to release the striker.
That was back in 2017, so it is also likely this is a post-fix production unit. Luckily if you drop it in the woods you'll probably be fine, probably 🙂
How often do soldiers get to use their pistol in combat?
Almost never
Very rarely.
Use - hopefully not. But it gets wielded when the main gun is too cumbersome, like when clearing an apartment, which is ofc assumed to be empty, you do not enter vacated houses with snipery stuff on you.
With the innovation of precise AR10s the pistol is not much needed as you can just point and shoot a semi quite well or add an red dot.
Never
@@ImNoBSING from my knowlage this dude is there to harrass enemy troop over the tranches in quiet areas of the front.. both sides post many sniper videos on telegram and its never on the front where the actions are... and another thing comes to mind about these types of videos is that i always see Russian missile strikes on civilian houses and they always say that there was no military in there but these type of videos proves them wrong.. this dude us held up in an abandoned civilian house lol if a Russian spy finds out the locations or they recieve a tip from residents and the agent send a green light then this dude is smoked...
dude has guns that would make an atf agent quake and an adorable kitten to come home to , this brother is living
Eotechs on aks 🤘 ❤ , Slava ukraine
When he said "The AK cleans itself by firing" 😂
This goes out to all the men who still sleep on twin sized beds.
Lets hope you feel safe to produce more videos, May the Lord be with you and guide you through troubles and pains.
Looks like your average southerner
This is very important for me, as I fight nightly on Helldive level 9 difficulty. I need the Ghillie suit for chargers
Whole setup costs more then most make in their life :D damn
Me going threw my stash before a raid
I need something like that first half ghillie he put on. He is right, the laser cut options are prone to ripping and getting foliage stuck in it because of the slots. I have the Crye one and it is a pain in the ass.
