Never underestimate an old man in a profession where people die young.
😎 exactly ....you never retire one way or another your switched back on in an instand when danger steps in your way .
You can take out armored vehicles with hand grenades...
@@techkingdata9338 he probably threw them at dismounting troops. He also said he called for artillery fire from a nearby village.
@@techkingdata9338 He had an RPG along with the hand grenades
@@techkingdata9338 I guess as soon as the Fuel Truck exploded they immediately knew their position was given away and are beeing targeted by anti tank weapons, so of course they'd immediately exit the vehicles. They didn't know it was just 1guy. and that old man just had to throw a bunch of grenades to finish them off... thats crazy
This man deserves a medal for his successful efforts to protect his village!
He deserves a statue.
If he did it all himself then yeah, But he didn't, Those destroyed tanks aren't the result of some flimsy old grenade launcher meant to kill infantry dumbass. The fact you believe this propaganda is true absolutely astonishes everyone who looks at this logically.
And you deserve a treatment for your delusional state.
1000%
I'm sure he will be one of many who will be receiving such acknowledgements, he is a fearless man and a proud Ukrainian patriot.
"They have fucking come here and now they are fucking dead!" -the most badass pensioner in Ukraine!
Yes, your military will also die on the territory of the Russian Federation
@@user-yr9pt6jl8g yeah because you are showing the world how organised your army is…😆👏💥
Your most sucky, they did not even cope with the Afghan, and ours has already captured 27% of Ukraine and liberated them from the Banderaites.
@@user-yr9pt6jl8g but no-one has any interest in invading Russia. When will you idiots get that through your thick heads ?
@@user-yr9pt6jl8g hahahaha is that why RuZzians are fleeing from wicked RuZzia hahahaa
Imagine being part of one of the most feared militaries in the world just to have your entire convoy destroyed by a old man
But not just any old man.
It certainly is a David and Goliath story in modern times
Who fears them? Lmao as Jomonger said, they're a shadow of their former self
Well, no. The started it with 4 grenades and the Army destroyed the column. Damage like in the footage isn't done with 4 grenades.
@@ebisu8824 Taking out the vehicle at the rear and a fuel tank at that is pretty much the end of the fighting tbh. He stopped the column on his own but yes, he didn't destroy it single handily, just stopped an entire column on his own.
Should have titled this when "grandad" went full Rambo!
Everyone wants a free Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini!
Real life Rambo. That MFer is bad to the bone.
Heroyam Slava!
"Everyone wants a free Ukraine."
Even Putin wanted a "free" Ukraine. Instead he's gonna have to pay and pay and...
There are not enough words for the bravery and courage this man had at this moment. Slava Ukraini
Real life Rambo. That MFer is bad to the bone.
Try full of shit
Absolutely
You seriously believe this tall tale? Are you a child?
@@HCShuffle Moron, he never said he destroyed the whole column ...did you even listen to what he said? He only attacked after two APC's, 1 truck and a tank passed. He fired rpg at fuel truck then threw three hand grenades and retreated to backyard behind his. Then he called to Ukr forces in neighbouring suburb position to let them know where to fire.
Mad respect for this old timer, he's making sure his grandkids will live free, absolute hero.
the debt ranked up with global bankers ensures ukraine isnt going to be free for a century and the junta in kiev couldve just not break the minsk agreements or take them in the first place to build up a industry to start a war to weaken russia, there is zero benifit for ukraine to remove the self government from the back then ukranian regions.
it was zelenski who started the conflict by starting the attack on the donbass, russia was asked for intervention by the ukranian republics under assault from the cia armed millitias using heavy weapons to attack civilian centers. which they are still doing today instead of aiming at troops advancing on the frontlines
My grandpa used to tell me when I was young, "Don't mess with old folks because they don't fight fair. They fight to win. They won't fist fight you. They'll pick up a stick and beat your ass with it." Mr Valentyn showed us in this video that his "stick" doesn't play and proved my grandpa right. Good job sir!!
God bless ukanias family and volunteer 💙💛
@thebay5 Point was that they do whatever they have to in order to win lol.
Or because they have a lifetime of hurt, pain and disappointment to vent. Also: they know where “10” on the whoopass knob is.
Old man fight bravely, my grandfather before he died he told me that he was fighting french army while he's up in a palm but his leg got shot after stopping the invaders with his friends
Only idiots fight fair
When one hero tells their story we know countless others didn't get to tell theirs. Well done, grandad.
Actually, i know another one, locals from a village were asked to give food to Russians by force, and a woman cooked a few donuts with poison.
@@cris33311 she's a hero also
@@cris33311 laced and based
Hero? HAHAHA
@@cris33311 Oh,yeah,i remember that. She got shooted by that since it was too obvious.
Give him hell Grandad! You are the spirit of the entire Ukrainian defense. I wish I could go there and shake your hand. Heroyam Ukraini like you! ✊ Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Real life Rambo. That MFer is bad to the bone.
What a disgusting immature immoral fool to be spewing depraved vulgarity in public. How pathetically uneducated and Godless.
yeah just one old man destroyed all those tanks, cmon, I support Ukraine but I feel fooled by this cheap propaganda. If there is no video of him destroying them I am not buying it.
@@misterasterisco5217 Watch it again, he never claimed to have done it by himself my little wannabe Russian troll.
@@misterasterisco5217 You weren't paying attention. The video doesn't say he destroyed all the tanks. He destroyed one fuel carrier, threw a few grenades as the soldiers hopped out their APCs, ran for cover, and called the nearest Ukr military post (where he knew the guys there) and they trusted him enough to call in an artillery strike.
You can't win a war against this. The man is a legend.
No you can't win a war when 1 country is fighting over 40.... Kinda reminds me of Vietnam.
@@abauto5408 I am so pleased to read such comments when the Ukrainian army with only weapons support, even without almost European tanks, is considered as the entire European and American armies
@Tony Starling
✊🛡✊💙💛
yeah that is what internet videos do! make you believe!! whahaha

True, nice looking orchard!
Doctor: "You cannot go there and be exposed to stress"
Valentyn: "Hold my grenades and watch THIS!!!!!"
Lmao
@@cristiangaban960 I say, next time, just give that guy EIGHT grenades instead of FOUR. Screw all the HIMARS and stuff. War would be over by now!
Let's be honest, he grew those giant balls driving taxis in Kyiv.
He is too cool, u just have to love this guy. What a hero in my eyes. It probably gave him another 20 yrs of life the way his heart must have been pumping. I am so proud of this man standing up for his country against these terrorists. Slavs Ukraine
terrorists like the US in Iraq ?

"Slava Ukraini!" Tired of seeing ignorant Westerners writing it wrong.
Героям слава!
@@agnivabanerjee3983 or just spell check🥴 ignorant easterner
SLAVA UKRAINI!!! This man is a fkn warrior! There’s an old quote I heard while I was in The Army. 100 guys go into combat, 10 of em shouldn’t even be there, 80 of em are targets, 9 of em do most of the fighting, 1 of them is a fkn warrior! This man is that 1!
He tries to enlist but is turned away.
So he scavenges for weapons &
takes out a column of Russians.
I love this guy.
As a former soldier of the Soviet Army, he had the experience and knowledge how to make the best of his very limited resources he had. Mission accomplished to 100 %!
Unlike the *new" Russian army, this Gentleman is actually brave and full of his convictions!! I'd LOVE to send him a Care Package- how can I do that??
@@colinsdad1
This is really a very lovely idea, however I think, there's intentionally no address given in the description at this point.
Can you imagine, how angry Russia is at him unfortunately?
@@Anita-k I'm actually really worried about him. He reminds me of my dad so much who's also Ukrainian and all I could think about was the other incidents of the shop that was making camo nets and it got hit with a missile. Their was one other but I cant remember it currently. I'm extremely proud and happy he's able to share his story but him giving out so much personal information really worries me. please be safe sir and thank you for everything you've done.
@@Nick_SlavaUkraini
I'm very worried about him as well!
However, he might've decided for himself, that it's much more important to come forward and give the power of great hope to all other Ukraine's soldiers with his story.
Maybe he's moved in the meantime (I know I would), maybe the name is an alias for security reasons...
Did I also mention I'm a 3rd Generation US Vet? This guy reminds me SOOOO much of my Dad! Who is a Vietnam combat vet. BTW, I showed him this video- he just smiled and said "See what even an old man who knows what he's doing is capable of??"🤣
This is an amazing example of the difference in motivation and morale in this conflict. The old Ukrainian going full berserker mode while the young Russians (or Chechens) desperately ditch their military clothes is such a great microcosm of those first days especially!!
Respect to the people of Ukraine.. Stay strong Ukraine.. 👍Greetings from Denmark.
That is why I love Ukrainians. We stand with you 🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦.
His humbleness when his son talks about his pride is heartwarming. This is a true here. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Slava Grandpa! ❤
Real life Rambo. That MFer is bad to the bone.

Yes, that part got me too!
The people that live in democratic countries have learned to hate putins rusia
The heroism of the ukranian people defending their country and democracy will stay in everybody’s minds forever!
Nope. Russia will defeat these fascist nazis that the west installed by force and kick NATO in the teeth.
What a disgusting immature immoral fool to be spewing depraved vulgarity in public. How pathetically uneducated and Godless.
And will give them victory and SAVE their homeland from the Russian invaders
>democracy
Lol... "Democracy" it s one of the most corrupted country on earth.
I was picking berries with my grandfather about 55 years ago. A bear came over by us, this was in northern Wisconsin. I was 6 and scared! My grandfather picked up a big stick and started hitting the bear and chased it off!!!
My grandfather was a WW1 vet. He was the kindest man I ever knew! Just don't mess with him or his family, he carries a big stick!!
I think as you get older you give a less of a thought to yourself, as you feel you had your time. Best part of the video is his reaction to his son. That was lovely. Love to Ukraine, hope for the people of Russia who do not want this war.
Yes, your military will also die on the territory of the Russian Federation

That was one of the best videos from the early war days. I thought he was just an old man walked out of his house to film the carnage.
This video is cheap propganda. Convoy got wrecked by artillery. Not a handheld grenade launcher lmao bunch of bs for zombies
lol same.. When the footage first came out I thought They got ambushed by Javelins Or something... But nevertheless that convoy got completely Obliterated
@@fbiagent3399 4:30 "The UA Army did a good job here"
These morons even left this part in here for their new Grandpa of Kiev story
@@fbiagent3399 I too distinctly remember that video from the "early" days of the war. It WAS and still IS one of the "best" videos showing the Orcs being obliterated. Great video, and I was thinking he was the guy in that video commenting on how the Orcs were destroyed ..... am I correct ????
@@ibpsupplyman Yah the guy in the video He was the first to engage and was able to hit A gas tanker full of gasoline making it splatter everywhere and then he threw A grenade to ignite everything.. He Then called his comrades that were waiting for that convoy and they showed up and finished the job..
It caught at my throat to see the low-key pleasure he took in his son's words of admiration. Just a bit of a smile, but you could see that he was probably as happy as he's ever been. He earned it.
same, im literally tearing up as i type this
@Ivan Morozov Unh-uh. You are. Eventually you're going to have a hard time sleeping, bro. Guilt will stalk you, and lurks in the distance like a black dog even now.
@Ivan Morozov The subject of my comment was the father's reaction. You replied "It's fake." If you didn't mean his reaction but the whole narrative of the video, then you can't write, bro. Not my fault.
Then you say that thing he's holding isn't a grenade launcher. Correct, it isn't, but that's just random footage mismatched to the text on the screen, so you're taking it too literally. Learn how to watch a video. No one said he did it all by himself, but initially he was on his own, so it is fair to say he "took on [a] Russian column." (Then came his support from the regular forces.)
Please use punctuation. They taught it to you in school for a reason.
@Ivan Morozov Yes, when it quite rightly appeared to me that you were calling the father's reaction fake, I did think you were a Russian partisan. Why on earth would I not?
If one races through reading and writing, mistakes and misunderstandings will come out of it. Even 97% accuracy in both is basically a disaster.
@Ivan Morozov no it isnt, its pretty clear it isnt fake. how is this fake?
A bad ass granddad. Proud of you great stuff. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Incredible. A man has to protect his own. Slava Ukraina 🇺🇦
The guy is a warrior! Much respect sir!
What a disgusting immature immoral fool to be spewing depraved vulgarity in public. How pathetically uneducated and Godless.

I am a 59 year old going on 60 years old. I served in the Kansas Army National Guard as an Artilleryman, a Tanker and a Welder. I pray we don't have to face what the Ukrainians are facing, but if it come to be my time to defend my home from tyrants Foreign or Domestic I pray also to have the same stones Didkovsky has. I don't care if the tyrants are Foreign or former fellow citizens like those Orcs in Ukraine their fate will be the same. Slava Ukraini, Heróyam sláva!
You wont do shit. You had tyrants in the white house terrorizing the world for the past 6 decades at minimum and none of you did shit. USA is being turned into a gay third world shithole and all you jokers do is talk big on youtube lmao. You sheeple cant function without a state authority figure to order you around
Don't worry--we won't let them take our rights; we will always be free and able to control our destiny. As long as we continue to protect democracy, and take down those who lie and resort to violence.
I am 65, this gave me reason to do my old calisthenics again. EVERY American has weapons, ammunition, drones and heavy explosives in their cellars just in case of this.

A brave man who is very determined to defense his land and people. Bravos Ukrainian
Wow,what a legend. No words can describe his unmatched bravery. He was ready to even sacrifice his life if he had to. There should be an honorary medals for such people in any nation. Salute to you grandpa,may God bless you with abundance of happiness,peace,joy, prosperity and a long long life.
oh im sure he will be awarded some kind of civilian honor, he deserves to be enlisted and awarded a military honor though, zelensky should override the rules, this man deserves it
@@cFull_Rtrd 😁 His doctor forbid going to the front bc of stress & we want him around, so they won't enlist him, but this action is why orcs are afraid all the citizens are armed and are scared of townspeople. He made a great impact farther than this action and he will be given a medal and honors.

Be very careful with a man like that. Glad to see he’s doing ok!
What a brave man. Everyday I love Ukranians more. They know what they are fighting for and this is freedom. It is better to carry heavy equipment now rather having a slave collar in your neck later.

This just shows how the RPG-7 and other AT launchers in general have been made for easy to use, while yes he has decades of soldier training but still being a relatively old man for this kind of job
When a old men can take out a whole armored collum, you know your weapon really is reliable
Saddening how mistaken most are about age... Are you living under a rock in miserable third world countries? 64 isn't old in our days, where some 20 years more is pretty normal in civilised countries.
@@OmmerSyssel, relax, buddy. You don't know the context. The average life expectancy for an ukrainian man was 66,4 in 2020. So yes, 64 in Ukraine for a man is pretty old. Two more years and you kick the bucket.
Absolutely great story. Thank you for sharing this with the world
A tale as old as time, you'll never find a better soldier than a man who fights for hearth and home.
With a grenade launcher!
He’s a true hero, reminds me of the WW2 and Korean War vets I knew as a kid. A true solder still even in old age and a stroke, he’s a vet like me and I’d like to meet him one day. Too bad he doesn’t have a way to receive donations I’d gladly send him money to help rebuild his house and help his neighbors. Hey Radio Free Europe if you have contact information please post it…
We know his name & town but mail is a little bit iffy in the region at the moment. We could send cards in Cyrillic though, only risking postage not funds that could be lost, using a translator app and cheer for him. I'll bet the postman knows who he is now. There will be ways to send funds for rebuilding those who can't afford to afterwards, whose income was cut off by this war & had to use their resources up for surviving, fleeing, etc. & There are funds in Poland for the kids who were sent to safety, for instance, though I'm not sure of where to donate to them. A bunch of young women even set up relief for rescued pets and horses, for food and care. 😁✊
What a disgusting immature immoral fool to be spewing depraved vulgarity in public. How pathetically uneducated and Godless.
@Gomer Gomez that's very kind and generous of you! I hope you find a way to help out this legend but, if not, there'll likely be many other Ukrainian heroes who don't have so much help from their friends and relatives. Millions have been affected and this guy seems to be doing okay for himself, but you can be sure there'll be others in really desperate strife.
Contact the Ukrainian Red Cross.
@infomercial enjoyer Maybe, either way I liked his attitude and will to still fight just wish since they made an article about him they would have setup a system to send him money, like PayPal or other online way.

Never underestimate a grandfather with a grenade launcher who has already fought in a war. He has much more experience than you little Russian soldiers will ever have.
especially when the "little russian soldiers" are mongols and buryats who have never seen a tank or a gun or even own a driving license. they see a year's supply of money waved at their face and they take it. they do not live to see that paycheck.
This video brought me to tears. It proves there are good people in this world. As for Russian army. Changing to civilian clothes whilst under attack. This says it all. I would gladly send funds to help this man and his family also. I’m 72 British and feel the urge to fight along side this man. Ukraine will be victorious. Putin will get his just deserves. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@@pyr3x849 People have become lazy, apathetic, in my country & selfish, bickering over little things instead of community minded & I have no idea why it has gotten like that. It's embarrassing though.
What a disgusting immature immoral fool to be spewing depraved vulgarity in public. How pathetically uneducated and Godless.
A true hero , love from Canada .
His child and grandchildren must have went from “okay grandpa time to go to bed” to “sir yes sir”
Slava Ukraini! Keep on fighting, brothers! Greetings from Finland!
This sent shivers down my spine.
The bravery of this man cannot be described in words. Respect! Slava Ukraini.
@@militantstrawberry You blow up the fuel tanker. That's way more effective and can be taken out with a grenade.
Ryan McBeth has a good video on that: ruclips.net/user/shortsJEo2m8iGBbY
The spread of a blown up fuel tanker will add its own damage.
Pretty sure he said he had an RPG18 which is an light anti tank armour piercing grenade launcher.
