- G'day Legends, I hope you're doing well,
Today we talk about the Russia's offensive and look at the war map updates.
If you're new here thanks for coming across, I served in the Australian Infantry from 2014-2021, With specialist qualifications in Heavy Weapons/Anti-Armour, Combat First Aid, With a tour to Afghanistan as a crew commander of a Armoured Mobility Vehicle.
Upon my Return I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a Incurable and Inoperable Brain tumour that is slowly killing me. I was also awarded the Queens Order of Australia Medal (OAM) hence the post nominals after my name. Then Being medically separated from the Army I flew to Ukraine in 2022 for 6.5months and now make content full time. I really appreciate you being here Thankyou

Hey Legends, Few points: Yes of course there is A LOT of fire going both directions what I was referring to is the increase in outgoing fire to cover this movement, Also we are NOT sure what the mission was here, It could be an attack, a recovery of troops, or reinforcements, Also I should have mentioned the Camera will show it significantly more dark than it is, GoPros and action cameras are terrible in low light.

Ukraine is going to be angry with you showing the truth. Expect to get put on their hit list. Protect yourself and be careful
In vovchansk RU are definitely getting their shit pushed back in. I’d also be hesitant if I was Willy at calling anyone SF unless it’s rather evident. It’s rare that RU/UA accurate call their forces SF. They do it a lot when they quite clearly are not.
This doesn't scratch my itch. Basic video of soldiers in an OP. Waste of my fuking time.
@@tunacanoe2143 nope
@@oggaBugga oh absolutely.
"Spetsnaz" is *NOT* a unit, it is a Russian catch all term. Like how in the West we say "SF"
Yep their SF would cover around 150k troops, equivalent roles and training as US army rangers and up to more specialized units equivalent to Navy Seals.
You're right. Spetsnaz simply means special forces and even former Soviet states like Belarus, Kazakhstan etc call their SF units Spetsnaz.
@@JohnDoe-iq9bzso these are the guys in fire teams at the front who do pressing missions etc? As opposed to engineering or manning a trench or logistics...
It’s more accurate to say they’re equivalent to marines and all the way up to Delta force.
@@mezzuna There's not much info out there about them but they operate behind enemy lines. Plus they don't always wear regular army camouflage. They're kinda similar to Delta Force.
When I watch this type of footage one thing that stands out to me is the bravery! It doesnt matter if your pro Ukrainian or pro Russian, stop talking 💩 about these Russian guys are cowards or this side weak or just cannon fodder meat wave! 99% of you guys would and could never tie these guys shoes! Staying calm , focused shouting out directives or trying to hear the directives , you gotta be a different type of individual! Same for the Ukrainian troops! Don’t criticize the guys in Ukraine who tried to flee from those black vans that are snatching these Ukrainian boys up! It’s not fair that they have to get thrown into this because some politicians in Kiev , London , Washington and NATO decided the Istanbul peace talks gets thrown out! I will never criticize a Ukrainian soldier either for that matter! He believes he is fighting invaders and he stands on that! The Russian soldiers believe they’re liberating the Ethnic Russian communities that felt they were not only marginalized but being attacked because they wanted independence and didn’t want nothing to do with the U.S. state department backed regime that ousted their president in 2014! The point I’m making is each side believes in something and it’s the political system and it’s players that makes the decisions, play political chess, lie, cheat, and manipulate the emotions of the population. Yet I never see their kids out here doing this fighting. So regardless of what side your on, respect the soldier out there fighting like this, because you wouldn’t be able to. Also don’t criticize the guys in Ukraine that worried if they walk to the store to get their baby some diapers he may not return back home because he was kidnapped by conscription officers and never got to tell his wife or kids bye! It sucks all around the board.
The problem is ukraine. All you've said is right. But the ukraine soldiers are fighting for a lie, fighting to keep thr oppression they brought down on ethnic Russians in donbass, Kherson, Luhansk, donetsk etc. The racism and persecution ukraine committed against these Russians is UNFORGIVABLE. Do not feel sorry for those ukies
bravery? that's a strange word for plain stupidity.
@@thornil2231says the spineless coward
@@TheInfantry98 with a IQ twice as yours...
@@SupernaturalPowerz Ukraine soldiers are fighting for their homes. Most Russian soldiers came from Asia and do not even know where Ukraine is.
Any Soldiers in Ukrainian war is the best Soldiers in the world right now. They're the only Soldiers that have experienced modern warfare against modern Army, not a militants...
Yup both sides fighting men deserve respect, their leaders deserve none.
@@stallowner125 Bullshit, Ukraine's leaders have done better than anyone expected them to. Some Russian leadership is competent as well, all the more reason to snuff them.
i get to experience horrors of war from the comfort of my couch!
With drones flying overhead, must be hard being infantry these days. They must have complete trust in Electronic warfare and jamming to run out like that.
the don't have a choice
Most drones are not effective at night. You just adapt to the situation.
Wagner PMC guys had helmet mounted drone detection kits.
@@mysteriousfleas I definitely didn't have that! but there was an anti-drone gun...
Those russkies shovels become a thing as days go by. Fuck if they switch washingmashines at 2.0.
LoL. Then if they discover front loaders we'll all be f**ked
In Russia they say if you round your shovel you will end up with an assault rifle with a silencer

The more Russia dominate... The more neutral you are becoming.!!
😂
Maybe willy is starting to see the truth and is connecting dots and realizing Russia is in the right but wants to keep his audiences from both "sides"
Willy is just slowly coming to his senses. After knowing a lot of guys in the fight for Ukraine and knowing what’s really happening and seeing Ukraine just throw men away. He also has seen and realized the amount of lies and makes him more neutral.
@@neilw.3012 projecting Ukrainian Nazi Banderite beliefs onto Willy is not cool either.
@@neilw.3012 if you say but it's funny how Crimeans voted to join "Russian fascism" over ukrainian "Democracy".
Who would've thought ukraine would send its tanks to start blowing people up after the Donetsk Peoples REPUBLIC was formed. Hmmm. A government that tried to stop another referendum,, sounds awfully,, "fascist" you'd say?? 👀
Bro, this the first time Ive seen you say non biased. My utmost gratitude for the hours you put into rsearch and preparing for a valuable trove of information for our unhealthy appetite for others suffering.
Let’s go thank you for the information you give us big dog
When those Ukraine cheerleaders say Russian soldiers suck, they're in full copium mode.
Denys Davydov 😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you referring to 1944 Germany or 1812 France or 2024 NATO?
At this point they are to be ignore now they are no longer being honest with themselves let alone others and out of touch with reality.
Note I'm not talking about those that are leaning on the pro-Ukrainian side I'm talking about the simps or grifters now who have lost creditable and reputation both in the information space and fan accounts that had either sold out or lost their minds.
Forgive them... it is a very easy mistake to make, look even Hitler and the Werhmart high command made it.
The guy at 07:58 is most likely Chechen.
Chechen units are trained as light infantry, specializing in counter terrorism.
Urban fighting is their bread and butter.
And yes, they are very well equipped.
Reports on Russian Channels are Reporting ACHMAT , Kadyrov have RUN AWAY from the Front Line in Vovchansk and Refused to Follow Orders 😀😀
lol sure just what you need a TIK TOK Warrior following you about lol
Definitely Chechen
@@redscope897 Ignore the ukrop copium. In reality, the Chechens are extremely well trained and are very capable.
@@redscope897those tik tok warriors have experience even any American SF could only have nightmares about, ever heard of the chechan wars
Willy, I don't know what map you are using, but that is a few days old map.
That square where the yellow hanger is, is in semi encirclement.
The ukrainians have big difficulties to get reinforcement there, they've been bombed my fabs in previous days, and now those forces you are showing are starting dislodging the ukrainians. The russians started using tanks so the advantage is obvious. The ukrainians can't bring tanks.. So 3 buildings are already taken, 7 remain in ukrainian hands. And after those, there are only houses, two floors up. So, when the ukrainians said a few days ago that hundreds of russians are surrounded was a lie.
Great work loving the two videos a day.
Red armbands are usually worn by assault/storm units. Those who take part in assaults know they won't be taking the money they make to afterlife, so they spend a lot on their gear. Most of those who got a chance to go home for rotation come back with custom kits and quite expensive gear. So I don't think these guys are spetznaz of any sort, just some veteran soldiers.
These are Marines in standard uniforms.
@@bazarkin-pubgi think these are 83rd airborne brigade. I dont think the russians send in their Naval infantry in to volchansk
Agree Russians in white armbands are more of military standard units red armbands are the assault troops these are the same armbands Wagner troops use which is why many say they get paid more lol they simply spend most of the money in crazy expensive gear same goes with ukies with the yellow armbands they are the assault troops for them
@@4Irico5 I do not know that anyone spends a lot of money on equipment, but I know for sure that there is a rule "trophies are sacred!" during the battle, with NATO mercenaries who are well equipped, I signed my call sign on the forehead with a felt-tip pen of the killed enemy (so that no one would strip him), and then you fight, after the battle you returned, stripped, and took what you needed, what you didn't need, exchanged for something more valuable... It may sound immoral, but this is war... and there's a fashion for clothes, and what you're wearing is an indicator of your trophies...
Third shift grind fest and willy posts a banger!
Chers mate, love the content and seeing you grow from pro UA to neutral fact based thought provoking content
Neutral, fact based and thought provoking? Ex pro UA, neutral fact based reports rarely talk about the losses causing demographic disaster for side with much smaller male population. 10% of that population dead or disabled will be extremely expensive, hard on already poorest country in Europe. One would think calling for negotiations make more sense than showing some men crossing the street under cover of artillery or aviation, when places like Pokrovsk and several others suffer badly from artillery, aviation, trench clearing, rocket attacks, etc.
@@codaalive5076 you cant seem to grasp the concept of irony?
That gear is nothing special @WillyOAM. The helmet has Chinese made copies that retail for less than $600 in the USA. Active hearing protection costs $50 retail in the USA. The Mystery Ranch 2-Day pack is found on clearance for less than $200. I've seen Chinese copies for less than $100. The supressors cost maybe $30 locally made.
Willy, the Russian Army of '24 is far superior to the Russian Army of '22 and '23.
As to fitness? Are you too acustomed to seeing middle aged Ukrainian soldiers walking and wheezing? Are you that unfamiliar with what Light Infantry forces in their 20s look like? Spetnaz is doing Recee and targeting, (Recon and Sabotage) deep inside Ukraine. They're even delpoying man portable drones deep inside Ukraine for these purposes. Spetnaz is targeting HIMARS systems and NATO personnel.
Yes. They put more experienced guys in the assaulting waves... but to say they're Spetnaz is a stretch.
Set your VPN on USA and see how cheap these items are as retail sales here to the general public. I'm sure Russia isn't paying retail prices either. Ive seen Russian truck drivers with cans. One reported they're becoming quite common and made 8n local shops and motor pools. Again, there are Chinese "solvent traps" one can buy in the USA for about $20 that are so close to being a suppressor the ATF will bust you if you buy one.
Willy, I don't think you're aware how inexpensive and decent quality Chinese made tactical gear and firearms accessories -- like optics-- really are. I love my Aimpoint... but I got six Chicom red dots that are almost as good for 1/2-1/3 the price.
Worth noting: Russian commanders are rotating their soldiers from the front after 24-48 hours, so they are fresh. A typical schedule is 2 days fighting followed by 2 days resting and refitting, then 2 days as QRF/ manning secondary lines before hitting the front again. Russians also do have Medevac.
Only thing I would correct you on is "Spetsnaz".
If you are referring to Spetsnaz as a unit, then that is not correct. Spetsnaz is a Russian term similar to how in the West we say "SF".
While the guys in the video appear to be Chechens, who are indeed Spetznas / SF...
@@oggaBugga bud - not all chechens or chechen looking guys are spetsnaz - I think the guy is spot on... contrary to popular belief SF is rarely used in frontline roles in modern warfare... they are used for deep infiltration - sabotaging supply lines, creating chaos, carrying out anti-morale ops, destroying key infrastructure and providing backline targeting covertly. SF can become involved or have to occasionally be escorted by regular units, but I really doubt they would deploy them to run around the artillery pocked frontline like this.
Id bet these are just first rate, well equipped assault brigades - possibly private, cant see alot of flags on them which would indicate that - then again some RAF dont particularly like displaying the tricolor for... cultural reasons..., weapons/kit are all off the shelf Russian stuff, cant see anything chinese in there, the chinese stuff isnt a whole lot cheaper than domestic russian things rly, and on average of higher quality - its very functional and tends to be well tested in combat with regular updates/variations according to soldier needs.
Worth mentioning Russia/most Slav countries have absolute disregard for copyright law and they steal and augment anything that they like from western manufacturers - although honestly they dont tend to very often unless is a vast leap forward in some department - Russia has a different doctrine and alot of western equipment is based on the wars they take part in, which as we have seen recently doesnt really do well in an industrialized war environment...
TL:DR - west make small very cool boomies, russia make cheap big boom booms... big boom booms better.
I've heard they have destroyed over 3000 himars, trust me bro
@@zszempty Chechen "SF" is indeed used for this type of fighting.
They are are probably the best trained Russian units in regards to urban fighting.
VDV etc that are trained in small unit tactics are the ones that go behind the lines.
@@lyssword That is probably true. As they are referring to the rounds, not the launchers.
Willy: "look, the guy got a beard, he must be awesome!" :D
I mean, he's not wrong.
Legit video as always willy, thanks for the video brotha!
Russia is definitely updating its urban warfare manual, logistical manual and tactics manual.
Very interesting Willy. Cheers.
Thanks for your insight into this video
I saw that footage earlier it is a hellscape
Thanks for your take on it
Great breakdown Willy!
I'm confused 😕 for weeks people have been claiming the area being taken over is Ukraines strong hold 🤔 are we watching Ukraine lose a battle where they have a 7 to 1 advantage in man power. How is this even possible 😳
The "God of war"......artillery, is the great equalizer.
Also FABS.
you're watching Ukie channels....some [ most ] of them are living in fairyland...grifters.
Another man who think NATO will win this war lol 😂😂😂
@24hourjukebox55
You'd think they would eventually learn but they never do
@@24hourjukebox55 Yeah yesterday I watched a few pro-ukriane creators, and all said that Russia routed from vovchansk, and they pulled otu of the city. I asked for proof, but they called me a botski.
Thanks, Willy OAM.
I actually like this format a lot. Something new. Thanks
In the heat of the battle it must be hard to make split second decisions as to who’s on what side. I have no military experience, so these videos are “disturbing”. Respect to the people gathering this information 👍
You just have to know what positions your side will be at.
Anyone else is enemy, unless they demonstrate otherwise.
Mistakes are common.
@@svensvensson2724 good point. Cheers for the insight
They get a briefing before taking a position, so they know if there are any other units in the area and were they operate. they might get orders to engage anyone on the other side of that road or in that building.
Average Russian infantryman is paid 200 000 rubbles a month and the first payment of 1 500 000 when a contract begins. A full domestically produced body armour suit with class 5 armour is 340 000. Any infantryman could buy kit like that, all produced in Russia, 6 times cheaper than western imports. Brand and kit name: КБС «Стрелок» by ТРИАДА-ТКО
It has shoulder anti artillery fragment aramid packages, breast and back plates that rest on hip supports, taking weight off the spine, bottom and crotch aramid cover to protect arteries on inner side of the hips, backpacks that is 10 times better than any western wannabe operator trash and many more well designed peak of the tactical science solutions. This is next gen stuff.
Russia is considering this war a provocation and the beginning of a full scale NATO invasion, the production is going full speed. I don`t think the west understands fully what they got themselves into. All damages are getting calculated at the moment and will be paid in full by every western country that armed and supported illegal government of 404.
It hurts to urinate
I believe we do which is unfortunate this past 10 years has been a pshop to get the western population aligned and the tax money hundreds of billions dollars is being used to buy our surplus allowing our military to buy next generation weaponry. Looks like WW3 Is here and this is just the beginning stages of a much longer conflict unfortunately.
I too thought all this is NATO trying to drain Russia before the real confrontation. We'll see what happens but the war in middle east is coming.

Hell yeah bro thanks for the upload. I watch your videos daily......like my morming news..
Blessings to you friend!
I was search for this video in Vovchansk.. thanks from Brazil !
Where are you looking Willy ? I see a load of russian Strikes. I understand you cannot show them on RUclips , but please dont lie about there not being Russian Footage! Thats simply untrue!
So, what do we see. We see the capture of the Citadel of Volchansk high-rise. That is, the area where the defense of Ukraine took place in the city center. How it happened. Before the start of the assault, a powerful bomb attack was carried out on this area. After that, with the introduction of armored vehicles into battle, the area between the Citadel and the factory was captured. Where the building is painted yellow. All the way to Metallist Street. At the same time, the intersection on the other side of the Citadel was captured. The approaches to the Citadel were under Russian fire control. After that, the assault began. The APU is trying to break into the Citadel and send reinforcements there. At the same time, they suffer losses. Attacks on the factory have begun, apparently, this is an attempt to distract attention from the storming of the Citadel. If the Citadel falls, the Russian army will be able to begin advancing from the factory along the embankment, surrounding all units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city. Another Zelensky "counteroffensive" will turn into a disaster.
No less significant events are taking place now in the area of Gorlovka. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing the last area where they had capital fortifications.
Thanks!
Not true , unless they captured more last night. As of yesterday they had captured those two high rises and one to the left. The Ukrainians are in the oTher high rises but their supply lines are being eroded, The factory too does not seem to be fully occupied. They are making slow progress but the far part is till in the gray zone. This has been managed by the russians with their armoured vehicles which they managed to get into Volachansk., while the Ukrainians are failing to get in from the east.
FYI, Defense Politics Asia coined the term "Citadel", in reference to the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine. DPA used the term to describe the high rise area in the western edge of Bahkmut,
@@georgesibley7152 What exactly is not true?
@@theorncampbell4432 And as for the high-rise area in Chasovoy Yar, Toretsk, and many other cities? Are they no longer strongholds? Citadel is a fortress, or a separate fortification in a fortress. The word is borrowed from Italian.
I love how while determining what level of troop they are he mentions the beard numerous times.
Thanks bro
nice video, ty... in my humble opinion - that's def a RU Spec Forces patch on the bearded guys left sleeve [ with the yellow bow& arrow symbol ] , well trained and tough, like D.R.G. [infil sabotage recon] unit guys.
Most likely a Chechen.
Differently a regular storm unit. Nothing tell they're SpecOps.

I am in a way happy to see ads on this channel. Willy has been demonetised for too long!
The boys finally got rotated out and got the chance to post their go pro footages this combat footage is probably a week old
The most scary thing about this war is the fact that even if the us has the tech advantage and weapons advantage and even the best trained guys have never fought a real war like this. The Russians are the most battle hardened and has the most real life experience. That would erase any USA advantage. At least for awhile till they learn the same lessons but right now Russia has the most scary army on earth if you ask me
Learning all day everyday, no worries can learn without being active.
We should be glad that Russia has a strong army and can restrain the expansion of the United States. If Russia loses, Europe will become a slave to the United States. The explosions of the "Northern Streams" will only be the beginning of the destruction of the EU economy. The United States will take over the whole world and stop pretending that it cares about other nations and peoples. We will all become slaves of the USA. Now all adequate people support Russia, this is the main counterweight in the world.
I respect what you're saying from an infantry/frontline perspective and I agree with you, however Russia is not being challenged in the air, on the ground via complex mechanised units (Apart from a handful of aged Bradleys & Leopards etc) via long range attacks (Apart from a few Tochka-U strikes at the start & the occasional storm shadow) & their Navy is free will to roam wherever they want.
None of that would be the case if the US were involved. They have 400-500 active F35A/B/C, that alone is petrifying to me.
@@JT-of9qbNone of F35 will ever play their game. The US will be simly hit with numerous hypersonic nuc missiles. That's it.
Basically *any* Russian Infantry unit that has 3+ months of urban fighting experience, is going to be equal, if not better at it, than Western SF...
I think even Taliban has more experience than western SF
Moreover they fought without air support and artillery
I agree. Even the Ukrainians have better combat experience than the westerners.
Just Google how many veterans committed suicide since 2021. What real combat have they even seen fighting sandals in desert? The Funko pop pp fem boys wouldn't be able to stand real war.
@@JohnDoe-iq9bzwell in a way they have said that many times when they complain that the training they received from western instructors is useless.
@@JohnDoe-iq9bz mate I'm pretty sure Ukrainian as of their units are far superior than any western special force unit. The one who still survive on frontline till this day since 2022 are battle harden and battle proven, those NATO training ain't mean shat compare to what this Ukranian been through
They took those first rows of buildings on both streets. What Dims, Military summery channel.
Could these guys be Chechens?
What does it change? Chechnya region of Russia, Chechens are citizens of Russia
no, the units there all come from The St Petersburg brigades. chens are fighting in the southeast as well as the Sumi area.
they were the ones who invaded there last week and then retreated after a photoshoot.
Why don't you use the latest map by Suriyak
beard = special forces / better gear + training
Not necessarily. The tank cdr of the tank that took out 2 UAF tanks n 6 odd MRAPs used to wear a beard...
Good channel. Yes like one commenter said there are different spetsnaz units, the best are spetsnaz gru and sso unit.
how much does their gear weigh? That is a good long run, correct? and under pressure.
around 20-30kg i would guess, probably going to dump the backpacks once they establish a safe position.
Ive seen some videos of volunteers on russian side and they all said if you plan on coming over do few months of cardio training before even thinking about joining.
mate you don't need to keep telling us over and over where these dudes are and the buildings/area in involved, man we aren't children, tell it once or twice and that will suffice. You are going on and on for far too long on the one thing. What are you doing trying pad it out for over 10 minutes? it's annoying as hell man
First awesome work Willy 😊
Those buildings were taken yesterday by Russia. There is drone footage of Ukrainians shelling the buildings. They also took the one to the right. The Ukrainians in the remaining high rises are cut off. Your map is also old. as it does not show that the industrial plant is connected to the rest.
What surprised me about that geolocated video is how small the area actually is.
great vid
Bring back Kum. I wanna hear from him.
If I may also point out Wiily, the footage clearly indicates much better fire discipline (consistent bursts vs. constant full automatic), as well as less speaking/shouting. These men are irrufutably well versed soldiers!
Beard means he could be Chechen guy, but it doesn't mean he is special forces member. Russian specnaz are rarely with beard, except Chechens. I think I recognised the man from the video. Great review btw.
Good analysis Willy.
I think u pinpointed the location to the nth degree. I usually enjoy your videos. This was a 1 min vid stretched to 10 min with little info.
You should try to do a follow up interview with the Russian soldiers again. That was really a great podcast.
gday mate
Something to consider - the Russians now have 2 years first hand experience of close quarters, intense and sustained urban combat. American and British armies haven’t dealt with sustained, high casualty urban combat in 20 years; most nato states haven’t seen it since 1945.
pro rushiski! tovarish willy!
objectively describe reality - be pro-Russian. to believe propaganda, to believe news that contradicts logic and facts - to be pro-Ukrainian
If you can run down a road in the open without ending up slaughteted in someones beaten zone. Wouldnt that mean that the enemy has maybe withdrawn?
From what i noticed during the Conflict; Russia reduced their "Combat" footage to a minimum. Not because lack of Success, but rather due to more discipline. 🤔
Thats a lot of ammo to surpress a few guys to a slight degree.
In World War II, 280,000 were spent on each soldier killed!!! Rounds.

Just before I opened your channel I caught Military summary channel and they showed that Russia had claimed to have won that building you showed (building 38 and also two more buildings on the northern edge of the citadel area in Karlin
ka st... buildings 57 and 54). At the same time they have fought back most of the southern part of Vovchansk between the river and the plant making the citadel 3/4 surrounded now.

The suppresors looked like Russian military issue. Might not be contractors. Im curious why you'd have high speed guys running through a city like that though maybe recon? They have packs on like they're expecting to be there a while.
I thought vovchabsk was going to fall weeks ago according to history legend 😂
btw, by definition of Western and Ukrainian media, this is meat charge.

They are Ukrainian people Russian speaking fighting against Ukraine 🇺🇦
Nice work Willy, It's been a year and some change since we talked pop me a DM
Based upon your profile picture I suspect you might be human
i see mighty shovel
Spetznaz is the shortening of the words "spetzalnoye(spetz) naznochenio(naz)" Meaning special designation, like in the west SpecOps is special operations. IE special forces.
it is a catch all term for any combat unit used for a special destination.
R.I.P Pete
???
You see red armbands so they must be some reservists,but reservists with damn stamina.Russian army or SF,mercs use white armbands
No, they are Chechens.
The armbands are meaningless. The Russians use pretty much any colour, apart from blue and yellow.
Not at all, the color of the arm band seems to be different depending on unit as you often see VDV and Chechen SOF with red tape too and other times with white tape, front line section and so on. or it's just as simple as what tape they can get their hands on. and red is a better color to use at night as everything white is going to reflect light.

opinion coming from a quick look: airframe copies are sold in most serious military gear stores in russia (allmulticam, arsarma etc) earprotection can be bought on aliexpress, they don't all come cheap but sure as hell cheaper than peltor. Multicam has been adopted by the russian MoD in 2023 as an official pattern of the russian Federation army. Copies of mystery ranch do exist in russia (take for example the one you can find at demych gear's bakery). Cans on rifles are the most widespread accessory (even more than red dots/optics). the guy with the gopro (author of the video) doesn't have any accessory on his AK74. I don't think those guys are SPN. At least not in the sense in which we use the term in the west. They could be naval infantry special units for example, or contractors (although in general wagner guys had shabby, old and incoherent equipment, at least in bakhmut). But I don't think they are tier one units. Either some "shturmer" from a pmc. The video is taken from a telegram channel called "soldier of fortune" that recollects media from people on the front line. The video has been taken down (dumb move to post your location in a urban environment). SSO units-russia tier 1 army spn- for example, publish their materials long after the dust has settled and anything showing where they have been it's either blurred or irrelevant when the vid comes out. Spn units tend to be quite shy, to either operate embedded with regular units but conducting special assignments (as per soviet doctrine) or operating far behind enemy lines in complete autonomy both logistically and operationally.
Those are shock troops, front line specialists from regular units whose only difference is combat experience (hence the better gear).
It’s Russian VDV you can see the insignia on his arm.
These are 2nd Spetznaz brigade GRU, credible sources to back it up
these soldiers may also be from a combined arms unit because the amount of really good equipment in the troops is growing and now, in fact, all contract soldiers can afford this, but not everyone does and this is a problem, although there are fewer and fewer of them, and those units that are most involved in assault activities are regular the shooter is issued to the KBS and his purchases are growing, plus VKPO 3.0 everything listed above is in multicam, not in pixels, but commercial body armor and plates can be made in any color, but most of them are again multicams and the samples there are top-level and en masse go to the troops, so it may not be special forces, but simply well-equipped fighters who care about themselves and performing the combat mission, but in general, as I can judge from the footage, this KBS shooter is very similar, but not exactly
I don’t think it’s SF or Spetsnaz, it’s probably just conventional units and not the usual conscripts you’re used to seeing. Russia has been very good about video footage and when it’s released, I highly doubt they going to risk opsec this far into the war.
The major problem in this scenario is identifying the enemy.
The risk of firing at a comrade is as high as firing at an enemy.
The Russians normally expire to quick to upload their stuff
Ig maybe they are vdv troops out of all regular troops vdv are seen to be well equipped i saw a footage of one vdv with full gear with attached night sight googles.
a year from now, nobody will able to move an inch without being targeted by AI controlled hunter killer drones.
You're a little late.... Drone battles are already underway over the battlefield, drones are destroying drones. So the impact on the fighters will be minimal.
These are normal Russian airborne guys not special forces
9:00 The West is not prepared to field these kind of soldiers. No way American Zoomers could do this
Off course it becomes extremely difficult to geolocate things when its the Russians advancing
It’s a war …you don’t expect heavy fighting
I wonder d Australia is heading for a massive Red Pill 💊 Fab 3000 are impressive.
The Ukraine army is currently experiencing unsustainable losses on a wide front. Crumbling from within, it is not likely to survive the summer.
Lot of time referencing maps,if viewers don't know the situation by now...
