in 2024 sometimes you won't know if you are actually spotted or not
There’s a museum in Cornwall that has an actual full size replica trench you can go in, it must’ve been horrible for them back then
Which one?
@@pipp972 Bodmin
It's not much less horrible today. Maybe the medical treatment and other things improved, but today weapons like drones and precision ammunitions are so deadly that you will get at least heavily injured for any small mistake.
@@geiers6013For Ukraine yes, but medical treatment for Russia is horrible. Hundreds of videos of Russian Soldiers killing themselves because they know that no help will come.
@@mav8535 True. But it also happened on a much smaller scale on the ukrainian side. ruZZia just absolutely doesn't care about their soldiers lifes at all. They see them as an expandable ressource.
“God fights on the side with the best artillery.” -Napoleon Bonaparte
That was before aircraft. In modern warfare, the side that gains air supremacy is guaranteed to win decisively. Artillery is still inaccurate, most shots won’t hit anything. Air to ground missiles and bombs hit targets with pinpoint accuracy. The Storm breaker for example, can hit moving targets out to 70+km and stationary targets out to 110km. These are small bombs, specifically designed to take out artillery and armored vehicles
Artillery can be easily picked apart with counter battery fire and precise air to ground strikes
In 1991 the US was able to drive through Saddam’s defenses like a hot knife going through butter. This was because of close air support from helicopters and jets.

@@tylerclayton6081 though that cant be said with the russians for russia is something more than iraq
@tylerclayton6081 Firstly, counter battery fire does not render artillery useless and manuever is used in mobile, light and field artillery, if you wish to say they it does cause artillery to be obsolete, you must also abandon your point of aircraft being invulnerable and as an airfield is notoriously hard to move, it may be prone to 'counter battery fire' but of course in terms of AA(Missiles or otherwise).
Secondly, artillery is immensely accurate,oftentimes more of equivalent to air launched munitions in accuracy as In modern warfare, laser guided munitions can be used and complex computers to calculate ballstics.
Thirdly, your use of the word "guarantee"shows that your argument may argue that no other aspect of the armed forces matters, as if to say" no land infantry is required to win a war but only aircraft is" so I recommend you speak academically.
War never changes.
The shovel is still undefeated
We will keep digging trenches so long as dirt keeps stopping bullets. - My SGT quoting someone else.
Trenches won’t do anything against a powerful enough force. The US went through them like a hot knife through butter in the Gulf War. And Saddam had the 4th most powerful military in the world at the time
Trenches only work when both sides are equally matched or near equal
@@tylerclayton6081 the us and allies, and that was after a month of bombing command centers and storage areas for ammo, food and water leaving a hell of a lot of the Iraqi army stuck out in trenches in the middle of a desert with little to no leadership.
Well, in WWII Americans tried knives only to learn that shovels are better in hand combat because of range. Japanese and Chinese on the other hand, still employed swords. The Shin-Gunto and Japanese sword charges made just to die according to Bushido is why you can't have a sword other than traditionally made katana in Japan. US wanted to get rid of swords from Japan, fearing mass sword death-with-honour attacks, they only agreed to leave true Katanas alone because they were so time consuming to make and so physically fragile they were recognized as a work of art and not a weapon.
@@piotrmalewski8178 Ah. Is this one of the reason why Japan making it illegal to make katana with modern steel? (or make it illegible as a true katana, I can't remember)
A wise man said that "As long a ground still stop a bullet trenches will still be around"
You know how they defeated trenches in the Gulf war ? Armoured Bulldozers filled them in with the defenders still inside . Brutal but theres no arguing with results
Huge difference between Iraqis with no air support and Russia who can land artillary on you while bulldozing
War tunnels remain undefeated
Ever heard of countermining and listening pots . Tunnels were defeated over 1000 years ago .
@johndododoe1411 that is such an ignorant claim to make
@@johndododoe1411tell that to the idf lmaooo
@@johndododoe1411Any and every defensive system is defeatable. The point is just to make it harder, and counter mining is pretty hard to achieve.
Yeah, turns out that when the main mode of warfare is projectiles, digging into the ground so there's less of you to shoot will always be a good idea.
War never changes
Honestly, in my opinion, as long as there are boots on the ground, trenches are gonna be used and trench warfare is going to continue to be very common. Which is unfortunate because thats one of the strategies that can easily cause a stalemate and drag out the fighting for longer and cause many many more casualties
I mean yeah the concept trenches will always exist
But like Germany in early WW2, some side will work out how to use the tools of modern warfare to conduct more mobile operations so the next war will be one of movement
@@DiazeDannot like ww1 and ww2 in modern world we have extreme precision missile and guided ammunation that could destroy a target with high accuracy 😊😊
Which makes the old-Polish warfare superior.
When everyone already moved to professional armies, we still relied on knights, most which were not even hired knights, but volunteer knights, and we thought it could be chivalry business. Like if we win a battle, the enemy should acknoledge defeat and not force us to hire tens of thousands men to occupy the land.
Of course it didn't work. We could remove the enemy from own territory this way, but this proved to be no method in the grand scheme of things. Hence Swedish invasion happening every few decades.
Damm those are gonna be excavation sites in 100 years
It's just that now it is much easier to break through a trench line then it was during WW1, that's why war's don't devolve into a mess of trenches as soon as combat starts.
I dont know that much about military tactics and I am stupid but I think that if everything goes to plan on both sides than both sides will have to go into treches
Or as my great grandfather called them: The Poor Man’s Aqueducts
👏👏🔥🔥
even ww2 had trenches
but we seldom see them since most of the fighting seen in medias are almost always urban
hell, even vietnam
There is a huge difference between WWI and WWII trench. In WWI trench the main concern were diseases and rats eating people alive because people would be stuck in the same postion for months. In WWII trenches were just a very temporary place because of tanks and close air support. Unlike in WWI, in WWII often trenches would not be involved because armies would strike so quickly there was no time to dig any.
@@piotrmalewski8178 I wouldnt say that. You had gigantic trench formations around moscow and stalingrad. Also the Atlantikwall spreading all across the coastline was filled with trenches. Or look at the massive siegfried line and the maginot line. WW2 saw far more trench warfare than ww1.
@@piotrmalewski8178 thats because you have an oversimplified and popular media knowledge of WW2, trenches werent as temporary as you think, it was used in all fronts and to great effect, from the start of the war with the maginot line to the deserts of the north african campaign with entrenched british forces decisively winning el alamein, from nearly all the main battles all over the eastern front to the italian and french countrysides, many of these trenches would be held for months and even years (the atlantic wall)
Its true that mughals and Safavids used trench warfare frequently?
I am not sure if we can call them trenches. If my memory serves me well, they were making embankments in front of their artillery and gunpowder troops to give them basic defence against the enemy.
@@KingsandGenerals oh..can you make various popular tactics of Gunpowder Empires and their relationship with one another? Like how Mughals saw themselves in the world and how they saw Safavids and Ottomans. Please 😊
at some point
Also the Battle of trench or Khandaq battle against Qureish's attack on Medina by Prophet ﷺ
Where is ditch guy?
💀
Question: do they still charge?
Yes. But in a strategic organised manner in small groups with support
Yes, instead of Rush B with thousands of infantry, it's Rush B with 3 or 4 personnel.

Unsuccessfully???? Have you seen the map lately, bakhmut is long lost to the Russians, you don’t know what you are talking about.
Isn't 75% of Ukraine fallen to Russia anyway?
@Al-Numan361 I'm not sure where you've gotten that from, Russias only seized the Donbas and Crimea so far with recently some gains against Ukrainian lines, Ukraine still holds the majority of its territory
it's most likely an old video, RUclips sometimes randomly publishes shorts from videos you've already made and I suspect that's what's happened here
What the😂! Didnt you check the map they showed? They are speaking in past there not present, they aldredy made a video about Chasiv yar so they do know Bhakmit has fallen
@@Al-Numan361more like 15 percent has fallen
Spoken too soon
