I didn’t know this happened an I’m American. I just found out through comments right after the war started last year in Ukraine. So I had to look into it.
I heard that in WWII, a soldier was asked how they knew who they up against. He replied, "If we shoot, and return fire is accurate timed gunfire, they're British. If it's massive machine gun fire, they're German. If there is a pause, then you are hit with everything possible - artillery, planes, mortar, etc., they're American."
I heard the same sort of stories from my English Uncle who fought in WWII. He said that the "Yanks" were always so well coordinated and seemed to have planned for every eventuality before engaging.

@@trololoev hahahaha No it's not. You know that North America has more oil under it than the Middle East right? It's just cheaper to get it from the middle east, and let them pollute their land than our own. All those capped oil wells in Texas are still tapped, and still have oil under them. OPEC is the reason why we don't produce more oil than we do because they can produce it cheaper, not because they have more of it, and most of the world oil is still processed in the US regardless of where it comes from. So, no, we are not in Syria for the oil, fool.
Simular to an incident during the Korean 'conflict'. the battleship USS Wisconsin, along with other Naval vessels, was patrolling along the North Korea coast, where a North Korean artillery base fired a single 155mm shell at the Wisconsin. The shell hit the deck on the Wisconsin. This prompted the Wisconsin to return fire, with ALL NINE 16 inch guns. This obliterated the North Korean based, which caused the Captain of one of the other Naval vessels to radio to the Wisconsin 'temper, temper!'

This happened in 2018 when I was in Afghanistan. Because of the nature of my unit, we heard about this then but it was hushed quick because it was classified quick to avoid panic and escalation. I can tell you, with my ten years in the service, 4 combat deployments, you WONT hear about 90% of the crazy, scary, and just oddly irrational things that take place across the world battlefields…
One underrated but often overlooked element is that we (the US) have rarely NOT been in some state of conflict in our history, including very recently. So if anyone wants to poke this bear, they should know that we have current experience in the subject matter and can/will adapt on the fly.
Truth. Out of the 234-ish years since the ratification of the US Constitution, the US has only not been at war or similar armed conflict for between 12-17 years of them (depending on who's doing the tallying). Military conflict is and has most assuredly been one of our most practiced skills. Consequently, when unshackled from (usually) self-imposed constraints, we tend to be pretty good at it.
this honestly has probably been Russia’s greatest downfall in most of their modern conflicts. they really just have next to no experience with combined arms tactics in modern combat as their last real full scale conflict prior to Ukraine was Chechnya, and the way that was approached was very different. They seem to not realize the US industrial military complex never really stalled, even after the cold war. Its focus just shifted. But even then, in the past 30 years we still crushed the 4th largest army 2 times and did it under 2 months both times.
I was in the US Army from 1999-2010, I deployed to war several times as I was an Infantryman. If we had AC-130 support at night, I did not fear anything I was being asked to do, if that makes sense. The plane see's everything and as you saw, if very effective at helping get you from being jammed up. Love your families Tube! Amazing content!
Let me remember how you fled from us in Syria when you saw that Wagner's PMCs column was coming, those were wonderful days, by the way, watch on your BBC channel how Dick Mr. Wagner sends his regards to you.🤙
I was a AC130U Crewchief and did a couple deployments with the platform in the early 2000s. What an amazing weapon system. Loved every minute of working with that airframe.
@@Qwerty22t, sure thing Ivan. Good luck pulling out that MANPAD, getting into the open, and getting a shot off while Apaches, F-22s, drones, and other artillery rain down around you. You might get one off, in response to which, the AC130 will deploy her first set of angel wings. You will not get a second shot, as you are now a high priority target.
Except this never happened. 100% made up U.S. Mickey Mouse bs.... They bombed a Syrian unit named ISIS Hunters from V SAA Corps. USA criminals were angry because Syrians are fighting against US sponsored terrorists. The only connection with Russia is they trained this unit.
With the weapons of those soldiers had versus the Apache gunships, they might as well been throwing tennis balls at them The Apache is such a bad ass helicopter The cockpit of that aircraft is reinforced with titanium and carbon fiber That chain gun sits on the bottom of the belly of that beast is went right to the gunners helmet wherever he looks, the gun looking he can move as fast as he can move his head. Whatever he looks at the gun looks at.
It's called "Combined Arms", a concept America was forced to learn the hard way during WW2, Not just combining weapons systems but learning How, When, Where and in what various concentrations they're to be used. Till someone knocks us off the Ant Hill America does it better than anybody with some of the best weapons.
Former US Marine here. Our military can absolutely devastate an enemy, we’re always fighting with our hands behind our back and jumping on one foot. If the shackles were ever taken off…it’d be over.

I love that you guys started doing these more adult themed things. Your kids are terrific. The videos you do with them are very entertaining and I’ve never missed one. But this is great. I hope you continue doing it. Showing your adult sides a little bit. Good stuff.
One of my favorite stories of psychological warfare was during the Cold War when the C.I.A. had care packages emblazoned with U.S.A. air dropped around the Soviet Union that included common products found in America, along with some democratic propaganda. In an attempt to demoralize the male population, one of the items in the box was a package of absolutely enormous condoms that were labeled "Medium Sized" in Russian.
@osamabinladenssecondgirlfr4241 It was actually just a plan that put together, but they never executed it. Search “CIA Russian condoms” in Google and tons of articles will pop up about it.
the condoms part never actually happened. it was an idea that the CIA had tossed around the brainstorm table but decided not to do it. would have been a lot cooler if they did though.
I’ve actually watched this video shown on a few RUclips channels. In fact, I just watched it yesterday on a RUclips channel. With that being said, what I loved the most about watching this video on THIS RUclips channel over ALL the other channels, is that these two basically just let it roll with very little stopping and adding inane chatter! I swore on those other channels that I would never watch another of their reaction videos due to their way too much talking over the video and excessive stopping of the video. I will subscribe to this channel to watch more of their reaction videos! Hopefully they will do the same on those as well! Bravo! Great job!
I was aware of this battle soon after it occurred but seeing you watch this documentary reminded me how it felt. That Russian cope medal is the funniest part of the whole event. I'm sure it's a sought after collectible in the US special operations community.
Straight storytellers like the brothers Grimm, only when Russia entered Syria and smashed suicide bombers, the Syrians were happy and said that the United States could not or would not do it for many years, and that's all that just pouring Sanya into their ears shows
Not exactly. NZ has banned certain US vessels from their territorial waters and ports, particularly nuclear-powered ones, and the ones possibly carrying nuclear weapons. This bugs the US Navy enough that NZ vessels participating in joint war games around Hawaii must dock in Honolulu Harbor instead of Pearl Harbor, where warships of other participating countries can dock.
I live in Riverside California near March Air Force Base. Last month the base had a free air show that had the Blue Angels and various airplanes on display. While they practiced they would fly over my house and you were able to see US air power. It would have been something you would have enjoyed. It would have been a great experience for your family. Then you would have been able to come to my house for some REAL Mexican food. Not taco bell stuff😊. My name is Martha and I live in Moreno Valley a city next to the city of Riverside.
Yes, they got smoked but the american's were contacting russian headquarters. It was not cleared in the video that the russian headquarter's contaced Wagner PMC nor asked about if they were advancing toward SDF and American held oil fields. This is clearly a problem in the russian HQ, if HQ would have asked or contacted any russian forces this would not have happened.
Everybody, not just Russia never takes on f22's in dogfights. A wise policy if you wish to keep your expensive fighter jets. However, the tech gap between the US and Russia jets has closed a lot in this generation, the US still has clear air superiority in both tech and numbers. Another issue is that the US has f35's, that can detect and fire upon enemy jets before they can be detected. They hang out far away and are capable of helping any f22 who might be in a dogfight with precise long range missiles. Turns out being able to detect and fire on an enemy before they can even detect you is a huge advantage. So you see, even if the Russians have a better pilot, it is still not a fair fight. And because of this, we may never know how much better the Raptor is in a dogfight(if any) than other jets because nobody tries to take it on.
As a veteran I served proudly in the USAF. The thing the world needs to know is that The United States acts as a protector for those that can not protect themselves from common bullies. 200 years ago we were bullied, stood up and NO ONE HAS EVER FORGOTTEN THAT. Freedom is a great thing and every person on earth should feel safe. USA won't pick a fight, but will certainly end it.
While I served in the U.S. Military there were numerous encounters that were never mentioned in the media. The results were always positive for our units and not so positive for the enemy. It has always been such an honor to have had the opportunity to serve the American people and our allies.
Hi Sam and Naomi, great video reaction. I think it's a great call that you are trying to not have the kids watch these videos that are about heavy subjects. I have a suffreioan for another video for just the two pd you to react to without the kids. New York Times- "Retro Report: On Shaky Ground: The 1989 San Francisco Earthquake". I lived through it, I was 13 years old at times time. It was scary. I remember the quake and the aftermath vividly to this day, more then 30 years later!
What many folks don't know is, that on that day, not only Russians and Syrians got heavy beatings, but also the terrorist group of the Lebanese Hezbollah, which are ally to the Syrian regime, lost over 120 terrorists who wore Syrian uniforms. The original footage tells the story from the second part of the battle, as the reinforcements arrive. The first part was more heroic in my military few, as just a small US-Platoon and the FDS withhold, heavy waves of attacks for more than 7 hours, before the US-Forces decided to react. This nice family saw just the finishing part of the disaster. The first part is just pure gold in my few.
While we are last member of NATO (Finland) and got longest border with Russia. We killed them in Winter war almost 200.000 without any foreign help and continuation war another about 300.000 more. And still they win the war. So 200 is nice and brutal in few minutes. But most of im happy that we're allied to country like Australia what is literally opposite side of the planet. What is kinda mind blowing.
I have nothing against US veterans and do not stand on anyone's side, but to be extremely honest and without pathos, so far Wagner and the Russian Troops in the 21st century are really participating and gaining experience in a real war with modern technology, against a large the number of the enemy, and so on and so forth, which has the support of the same United States with intelligence, money, weapons, and training. That is, not with African natives or Arabs in slippers somewhere in the mountains. In Syria, the government invited Russian troops (they send military police, mercenaries and aircraft), unlike the United States wich were there illegal according to the standards of international law, so it's too early to say who is cooler and not.
One of my favorite stories about world war II is when the Kentucky or Tennessee national guard, who came ashore on Normandy and never had a pause, engage the waffen SS around the battle of the bulge. Bulge. Those backwood boys who've been putting food on their mom's table since they were five of the firearm we're picking these guys off to the point where the waffen SS made five charges and were repelled all five times! It wasn't US army airborne, or the airborne rangers, or any special operations guys. It was just the Kentucky or Tennessee national guard!!!
Normandy Omaha Beach the 29th with the 115th and the 116th companies were almost pushed off the beaches, they got their stuff together and took Omaha. My Pop was in the first wave on Omaha.....we his company was finally relieved they at that point were only counting no more than 20 men of their company. amazing
Are you guys going to let the kids do their own videos? It be fun to see them to react to sports bloopers or whatever interest them without parental interaction.
Yea good idea. Maybe something comedic. Denzel cracked up so bad at something one time I was crying. 😂😂 Didn’t even think what he was laughing at was funny, but laughter is contagious.
There's another version of this story I watched wherein, at the end of the battle, the American commander on the ground used the hotline to communicate with Russian command one last time and told them, "You're right, there are no Russian forces in the area". 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Yep, as far as our military goes, we are NOT to be messed with. We would prefer to have peace time after so many years of war, but when we have to get up and remind some one who is the top dog, we’ll do it. Almost expected of us at this point

American here.. it was nice to hear your opinion we have a very close friend on the south island we where there March of 2018 beautiful country and people
I recall being told that during WWII, a German on the Normandy coast who got the first look at the fleets sitting in the water, guns blasting, said something to the affect 'We should not have engaged these people'. A Japanese Admiral who attended the surrender treaty signing with MacArthur, surrounded by soldiers, sailors, ships and planes, had to be thinking the exact same thing.
Big fan of your channel. My daughter (24 yrs old) is head down to your country in August. Her boyfriend has been there since January - he is a civil engineer working on earthquake tests and studies down there.
Thing about this is Russia severely underestimated how well the US was prepared to fight this battle on multiple fronts, timing attacks so there would be no friendly fire in a well coordinated strike. Syria and Turkey I think which are Russian allies have shot down more Russian aircraft by mistake then anyone, Russia often shoots down their own aircraft by mistake. To them I think they really could not fathom how superior the US intelligence and just the sheer superiority of the US Armed Forces is then the rest of the world, not to mention it is said that 40 of the US ground troops was Delta force, these guys basically don't exist and are one of the few special forces in the US that are told when they enlist they will 100% engage enemy combatants.
During the phone calls (there were multiple) before the "battle" the american commander asked repeatedly are we being attacked by russians? And the russian commander repeatedly said no. The american commander basically "i hope that's true because theyre all about to die" and hung up. Russia thought the americans would run and death came from nowhere and everywhere all at once. People think America relies too much on technology and doesnt have the stomach for "hard fighting" but its not a lack of courage, its simple logistics. A dead soldier is extremely expensive both monetarily AND from a morale standpoint, a bomb dropped from a plane is basically nothing in comparison. Imagine how much more effective a fighting force is when they know their lives are valuable and their commanders will do anything to take care of them, you have a force that's willing to fight harder and push further because they know they've got back-up. People want to point to conflicts like Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan and say america hasn't won a war in ages, but those arent military defeats, the military withdrew because of political reasons. American soldier NEVER lost a single firefight in Iraq or afghanistan, and battle losses in vietnam happened but they were rare. America's military is the closest thing to an unstoppable force the world has ever experienced. America has multiple quick reaction forces around the world, within 12 hours we can have troops in many countries at the drop of a hat, in 48hrs we can have troops ANYWHERE, and support them once they get there, no waiting for supplies, no waiting for backup. In 48hrs America can have upwards of 5,000 troops anywhere on the planet ready to fight. And those 5,000 aren't your basic grunts, they're highly trained, extremely well equipped, and can operate in any terrain and any weather with a scary level of efficiency. America not only has the largest military (in practice) they also have the best military equipment for each and every soldier, they're the largest army in the world to field body armor to every single front line troop, theyre the largest military to field nightvision to EVERY SINGLE frontline troop. And we have both the 1st AND 2nd largest air forces on the planet (the world's largest airforce is the US Airforce, the second largest is the US Navy) America does not mess around and when we hit someone we hit with EVERYTHING all at once, hit the enemy so hard they can't react.
Итак, американцы оккупанты захватили месторождение нефти чужой страны. А когда подошли сирийцы и помогающие им Вагнер, то разгромили их в численном арт и воздушном огне. И теперь гордятся этим. Браво.
Они скорее всего пиздят потомучто они не показали достоверных фактов (выслали видео где типо мол самолёт растреливает колонну однако эта была взято из игры военного симулятора на телефон)
One very small correction to the video. "The new 5th Generation Air Superiority Fighters, the F-22 Raptor" is not new at all. It first flew in 1997 but began production in 2005. By the time this battle took place it was becoming obsolete by American standards. Hence why it is being retired in favor of the 6th Generation Fighter called NGAD. Terrifying, huh? Took China and Russia nearly twenty additional years to attempt to make 5th Generation fighters, still unable to do so, all the while the United States is already moving past that.
I love that after the beatdown they gave them the 1st time when they didn't believe is telling them multiple times to chill out. The 2nd time around we made one phone call and i imagine said. What we did last time was childs play buddy this time f around and find out. They were like nope were done here lets go home >.>
As a veteran, I'd say the public never hears about 90% or more of what happens. All they know is what is released to the media.

One underrated but often overlooked element is that we (the US) have rarely NOT been in some state of conflict in our history, including very recently. So if anyone wants to poke this bear, they should know that we have current experience in the subject matter and can/will adapt on the fly.
truth for sure
And if they want to attack our homeland they will have the Largest Unofficial Military fighting back. #2ndAmendment.
Yep, so much time spent at war is an advantage in some instances. Sad how long it’s been when we have finally had some form of peace
Truth. Out of the 234-ish years since the ratification of the US Constitution, the US has only not been at war or similar armed conflict for between 12-17 years of them (depending on who's doing the tallying). Military conflict is and has most assuredly been one of our most practiced skills. Consequently, when unshackled from (usually) self-imposed constraints, we tend to be pretty good at it.
this honestly has probably been Russia’s greatest downfall in most of their modern conflicts. they really just have next to no experience with combined arms tactics in modern combat as their last real full scale conflict prior to Ukraine was Chechnya, and the way that was approached was very different. They seem to not realize the US industrial military complex never really stalled, even after the cold war. Its focus just shifted. But even then, in the past 30 years we still crushed the 4th largest army 2 times and did it under 2 months both times.
I want to think the US Military doesn’t brag about winning conflicts, it’s not a game anymore .
It never was a game and the military is deadly serious about these weapons as accidents in training are just as deadly.

I was in the US Army from 1999-2010, I deployed to war several times as I was an Infantryman. If we had AC-130 support at night, I did not fear anything I was being asked to do, if that makes sense. The plane see's everything and as you saw, if very effective at helping get you from being jammed up. Love your families Tube! Amazing content!
Let me remember how you fled from us in Syria when you saw that Wagner's PMCs column was coming, those were wonderful days, by the way, watch on your BBC channel how Dick Mr. Wagner sends his regards to you.🤙
Love these couple videos. It's nice to see you two more relaxed and take on some more serious topics🙏
As a vet that worked weapons on AC-130’s, I always love to hear about them working targets. Loved my time in JSOC and SOCOM. Any time, any place
Ac130 is something that Russian criminals are certainly afraid of!!! Good job buddy, from a Canadian ally:)

@@JackyJames1 I love hearing from Canadians. I don't know why exactly but I get giddy everytime a Canadian joins the conversation
I was a AC130U Crewchief and did a couple deployments with the platform in the early 2000s. What an amazing weapon system. Loved every minute of working with that airframe.
@@Qwerty22t, sure thing Ivan. Good luck pulling out that MANPAD, getting into the open, and getting a shot off while Apaches, F-22s, drones, and other artillery rain down around you. You might get one off, in response to which, the AC130 will deploy her first set of angel wings. You will not get a second shot, as you are now a high priority target.
You know you are the top dog when all it takes is a phone call to convince other side to back off 😂
Sadly for Wagner, it didn't work the first time.
@@Herrtobins Don't you mean, "Unfortunately, for Russians"?
@@ImpendingJoker I meant the Russian mercenaries would have had a better day if they listened the first time.
Wagner was Russias best soldiers and that’s pretty bad lol
Except this never happened. 100% made up U.S. Mickey Mouse bs....
They bombed a Syrian unit named ISIS Hunters from V SAA Corps. USA criminals were angry because Syrians are fighting against US sponsored terrorists. The only connection with Russia is they trained this unit.
With the weapons of those soldiers had versus the Apache gunships, they might as well been throwing tennis balls at them
The Apache is such a bad ass helicopter
The cockpit of that aircraft is reinforced with titanium and carbon fiber
That chain gun sits on the bottom of the belly of that beast is went right to the gunners helmet wherever he looks, the gun looking he can move as fast as he can move his head. Whatever he looks at the gun looks at.

It's called "Combined Arms", a concept America was forced to learn the hard way during WW2, Not just combining weapons systems but learning How, When, Where and in what various concentrations they're to be used.

Nadine said "far out" more times in this one video than I've heard anyone else say it in the last year and you I found it amusing. 😄
I love that you guys started doing these more adult themed things. Your kids are terrific. The videos you do with them are very entertaining and I’ve never missed one. But this is great. I hope you continue doing it. Showing your adult sides a little bit. Good stuff.
One of my favorite stories of psychological warfare was during the Cold War when the C.I.A. had care packages emblazoned with U.S.A. air dropped around the Soviet Union that included common products found in America, along with some democratic propaganda. In an attempt to demoralize the male population, one of the items in the box was a package of absolutely enormous condoms that were labeled "Medium Sized" in Russian.
@osamabinladenssecondgirlfr4241 It was actually just a plan that put together, but they never executed it. Search “CIA Russian condoms” in Google and tons of articles will pop up about it.
Is this a seen in a marvel movie 😂
the condoms part never actually happened. it was an idea that the CIA had tossed around the brainstorm table but decided not to do it. would have been a lot cooler if they did though.
I’ve actually watched this video shown on a few RUclips channels. In fact, I just watched it yesterday on a RUclips channel. With that being said, what I loved the most about watching this video on THIS RUclips channel over ALL the other channels, is that these two basically just let it roll with very little stopping and adding inane chatter! I swore on those other channels that I would never watch another of their reaction videos due to their way too much talking over the video and excessive stopping of the video. I will subscribe to this channel to watch more of their reaction videos! Hopefully they will do the same on those as well! Bravo! Great job!
I was aware of this battle soon after it occurred but seeing you watch this documentary reminded me how it felt. That Russian cope medal is the funniest part of the whole event. I'm sure it's a sought after collectible in the US special operations community.
THe Cope medal? literal definition of a participation trophy
I really like this new series where it's just you two. Talking about more adult related topics. Good job!
Reaper drone, ac-130 angel of death, Apache, attack helicopter, artillery, fighter jets and good old fashion lead

Fun fact, the ac-130 moves 6 feet each time the 105mm gun shoots
Straight storytellers like the brothers Grimm, only when Russia entered Syria and smashed suicide bombers, the Syrians were happy and said that the United States could not or would not do it for many years, and that's all that just pouring Sanya into their ears shows
The rumor i heard was three hundred fifty wagners and a couple of dozen tanks but exact data is strictly classified.
New Zealand/America! We have each other's backs.
Not exactly. NZ has banned certain US vessels from their territorial waters and ports, particularly nuclear-powered ones, and the ones possibly carrying nuclear weapons. This bugs the US Navy enough that NZ vessels participating in joint war games around Hawaii must dock in Honolulu Harbor instead of Pearl Harbor, where warships of other participating countries can dock.
@@oahuhawaii2141 If NZ is attacked the US would step in.
I live in Riverside California near March Air Force Base. Last month the base had a free air show that had the Blue Angels and various airplanes on display. While they practiced they would fly over my house and you were able to see US air power. It would have been something you would have enjoyed. It would have been a great experience for your family. Then you would have been able to come to my house for some REAL Mexican food. Not taco bell stuff😊. My name is Martha and I live in Moreno Valley a city next to the city of Riverside.
Yes, they got smoked but the american's were contacting russian headquarters. It was not cleared in the video that the russian headquarter's contaced Wagner PMC nor asked about if they were advancing toward SDF and American held oil fields. This is clearly a problem in the russian HQ, if HQ would have asked or contacted any russian forces this would not have happened.
They unleashed hell on their ass that spooky gunship it’s scary man I’ve seen one up close
As an American I didn't even know this happened and I watch military and battlefield channels frequent enough.
Do one about the US Army Rangers !!
Yep, we have a crazy powerful military, probably all kinds of crazy top secret weapons in development.
You're right, i had completely forgotten this was as recent as 2018. Thanks for putting it up.
Everybody, not just Russia never takes on f22's in dogfights. A wise policy if you wish to keep your expensive fighter jets. However, the tech gap between the US and Russia jets has closed a lot in this generation, the US still has clear air superiority in both tech and numbers. Another issue is that the US has f35's, that can detect and fire upon enemy jets before they can be detected. They hang out far away and are capable of helping any f22 who might be in a dogfight with precise long range missiles. Turns out being able to detect and fire on an enemy before they can even detect you is a huge advantage. So you see, even if the Russians have a better pilot, it is still not a fair fight. And because of this, we may never know how much better the Raptor is in a dogfight(if any) than other jets because nobody tries to take it on.
"Turns out being able to detect and fire on an enemy before they can even detect you is a huge advantage."
Right? lol.
That was a fraction of our power. Great video
I've never heard this story as a American. Crazy!!
I love y'alls take on my country ❤ much love
As a veteran I served proudly in the USAF. The thing the world needs to know is that The United States acts as a protector for those that can not protect themselves from common bullies. 200 years ago we were bullied, stood up and NO ONE HAS EVER FORGOTTEN THAT. Freedom is a great thing and every person on earth should feel safe. USA won't pick a fight, but will certainly end it.
Nice joke, outside the western bubble the US is seen as the bully.
Were the Red Indians hooligans too?)

While I served in the U.S. Military there were numerous encounters that were never mentioned in the media. The results were always positive for our units and not so positive for the enemy. It has always been such an honor to have had the opportunity to serve the American people and our allies.
Hi Sam and Naomi, great video reaction. I think it's a great call that you are trying to not have the kids watch these videos that are about heavy subjects. I have a suffreioan for another video for just the two pd you to react to without the kids. New York Times- "Retro Report: On Shaky Ground: The 1989 San Francisco Earthquake". I lived through it, I was 13 years old at times time. It was scary. I remember the quake and the aftermath vividly to this day, more then 30 years later!
*Nadine
What many folks don't know is, that on that day, not only Russians and Syrians got heavy beatings, but also the terrorist group of the Lebanese Hezbollah, which are ally to the Syrian regime, lost over 120 terrorists who wore Syrian uniforms. The original footage tells the story from the second part of the battle, as the reinforcements arrive. The first part was more heroic in my military few, as just a small US-Platoon and the FDS withhold, heavy waves of attacks for more than 7 hours, before the US-Forces decided to react. This nice family saw just the finishing part of the disaster. The first part is just pure gold in my few.
While we are last member of NATO (Finland) and got longest border with Russia. We killed them in Winter war almost 200.000 without any foreign help and continuation war another about 300.000 more. And still they win the war.
So 200 is nice and brutal in few minutes. But most of im happy that we're allied to country like Australia what is literally opposite side of the planet. What is kinda mind blowing.
I have nothing against US veterans and do not stand on anyone's side, but to be extremely honest and without pathos, so far Wagner and the Russian Troops in the 21st century are really participating and gaining experience in a real war with modern technology, against a large the number of the enemy, and so on and so forth, which has the support of the same United States with intelligence, money, weapons, and training. That is, not with African natives or Arabs in slippers somewhere in the mountains.
In Syria, the government invited Russian troops (they send military police, mercenaries and aircraft), unlike the United States wich were there illegal according to the standards of international law, so it's too early to say who is cooler and not.
One of my favorite stories about world war II is when the Kentucky or Tennessee national guard, who came ashore on Normandy and never had a pause, engage the waffen SS around the battle of the bulge. Bulge. Those backwood boys who've been putting food on their mom's table since they were five of the firearm we're picking these guys off to the point where the waffen SS made five charges and were repelled all five times! It wasn't US army airborne, or the airborne rangers, or any special operations guys. It was just the Kentucky or Tennessee national guard!!!
Normandy Omaha Beach the 29th with the 115th and the 116th companies were almost pushed off the beaches, they got their stuff together and took Omaha. My Pop was in the first wave on Omaha.....we his company was finally relieved they at that point were only counting no more than 20 men of their company. amazing
Are you guys going to let the kids do their own videos? It be fun to see them to react to sports bloopers or whatever interest them without parental interaction.
Yea good idea. Maybe something comedic. Denzel cracked up so bad at something one time I was crying. 😂😂 Didn’t even think what he was laughing at was funny, but laughter is contagious.
There's another version of this story I watched wherein, at the end of the battle, the American commander on the ground used the hotline to communicate with Russian command one last time and told them, "You're right, there are no Russian forces in the area". 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
There was no battle just a massacre just like a day of training exercise
Yep, as far as our military goes, we are NOT to be messed with. We would prefer to have peace time after so many years of war, but when we have to get up and remind some one who is the top dog, we’ll do it. Almost expected of us at this point

American here.. it was nice to hear your opinion we have a very close friend on the south island we where there March of 2018 beautiful country and people
I recall being told that during WWII, a German on the Normandy coast who got the first look at the fleets sitting in the water, guns blasting, said something to the affect 'We should not have engaged these people'.
A Japanese Admiral who attended the surrender treaty signing with MacArthur, surrounded by soldiers, sailors, ships and planes, had to be thinking the exact same thing.
Two of the marine artillery pieces, a fire, so many rounds they wore the barrels out and they had to be replaced

Thing about this is Russia severely underestimated how well the US was prepared to fight this battle on multiple fronts, timing attacks so there would be no friendly fire in a well coordinated strike. Syria and Turkey I think which are Russian allies have shot down more Russian aircraft by mistake then anyone, Russia often shoots down their own aircraft by mistake. To them I think they really could not fathom how superior the US intelligence and just the sheer superiority of the US Armed Forces is then the rest of the world, not to mention it is said that 40 of the US ground troops was Delta force, these guys basically don't exist and are one of the few special forces in the US that are told when they enlist they will 100% engage enemy combatants.
Yup smart of the US strategist to not send anyone on foot and hammer them with planes and artillery.
I was a Ranger at the time, guess where I was? This s*&t was funny! Absolutely heart warming.
During the phone calls (there were multiple) before the "battle" the american commander asked repeatedly are we being attacked by russians? And the russian commander repeatedly said no. The american commander basically "i hope that's true because theyre all about to die" and hung up.
Russia thought the americans would run and death came from nowhere and everywhere all at once.
People think America relies too much on technology and doesnt have the stomach for "hard fighting" but its not a lack of courage, its simple logistics. A dead soldier is extremely expensive both monetarily AND from a morale standpoint, a bomb dropped from a plane is basically nothing in comparison. Imagine how much more effective a fighting force is when they know their lives are valuable and their commanders will do anything to take care of them, you have a force that's willing to fight harder and push further because they know they've got back-up.
People want to point to conflicts like Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan and say america hasn't won a war in ages, but those arent military defeats, the military withdrew because of political reasons. American soldier NEVER lost a single firefight in Iraq or afghanistan, and battle losses in vietnam happened but they were rare. America's military is the closest thing to an unstoppable force the world has ever experienced. America has multiple quick reaction forces around the world, within 12 hours we can have troops in many countries at the drop of a hat, in 48hrs we can have troops ANYWHERE, and support them once they get there, no waiting for supplies, no waiting for backup. In 48hrs America can have upwards of 5,000 troops anywhere on the planet ready to fight. And those 5,000 aren't your basic grunts, they're highly trained, extremely well equipped, and can operate in any terrain and any weather with a scary level of efficiency.
America not only has the largest military (in practice) they also have the best military equipment for each and every soldier, they're the largest army in the world to field body armor to every single front line troop, theyre the largest military to field nightvision to EVERY SINGLE frontline troop. And we have both the 1st AND 2nd largest air forces on the planet (the world's largest airforce is the US Airforce, the second largest is the US Navy)
America does not mess around and when we hit someone we hit with EVERYTHING all at once, hit the enemy so hard they can't react.
You know what's even cooler than the American military? Your family! Wholesome as can be. 😋

I remember that very well.
One very small correction to the video. "The new 5th Generation Air Superiority Fighters, the F-22 Raptor" is not new at all. It first flew in 1997 but began production in 2005. By the time this battle took place it was becoming obsolete by American standards. Hence why it is being retired in favor of the 6th Generation Fighter called NGAD. Terrifying, huh? Took China and Russia nearly twenty additional years to attempt to make 5th Generation fighters, still unable to do so, all the while the United States is already moving past that.
Can you post the link in the comments to the video you played? Thanks 😊
