The fact that the Russians gave out a medal that was basically for just surviving against the might of the US Military, has got to be one of the nicest compliments Russia could ever give to the US.
A crucial aspect of this battle not mentioned here is that when that first shot landed Russian communications went dead. The Americans were jamming _everything._ The Wagners couldn't call for any support, they couldn't coordinate beyond shouting range (which isn't very far when everything is exploding), they couldn't reach headquarters to get them to call off the Americans. The US wasn't just sending a message about their superior firepower and training but about their superior battle management: "cross the line, and you will die."
@@Bronco-1776 The mutually agreed upon line between Russian and America areas of operation. Both countries agreed that it would be wise to not operate in the same areas, lest there be some accidental engagement. That's what the line was and how it came about. As an additional layer of precaution their respective in-theatre commands set up hotlines they could call to reach their counterpart at a moment's notice. Prior to engaging their attackers, the Americans used that hotline to ask the Russian command who was attacking that American position in the American area. The Russian command denied it was Russians.

He will throw them all under the bus to fail to rebuild a long lost Soviet empire that will never come back. I hope he gets what is coming to him.

I heard a second hand story of how/when a German soldier knew they had lost WWII. The soldier spotted a US tank and was well outside of machine gun range so he thought nothing of it until the tank turned its main gun in his direction and fired. He quickly took cover and survived, but the fact that the US military was willing to use such expensive ammo to try and kill a single enemy soldier made him realize what hell his side was up against.
@@doomlord5921 The "cake story" was a scene in the movie "Patton"...I doubt that its true but nevertheless in WWII the American logistical command, "The Red Ball Express" ran 24/7 to keep American divisions supplied with food, fuel, ammo, new replacement equipment and boots and clothing. Also, the American tanks were largely inferior to the German armor and it took literally 5 American tanks to take out one German...but, American production lines cranked out tanks by the thousands. Also, American air supremacy kept the Germans on the run and American troops well covered. Now, 80 years later we have even more formidable logistics and fire power. There is no equal to the American armed forces and the dedicated men and women who valiantly and selfishly serve our country.
@@jaybodenstein609 The 4 American tanks is not true and is a literal myth. Many German tanks could be taken out by Sherman's as the majority were panzer IV. This myth came from the fact that the smallest American tank squad was 5 shermans.

I was one of the air controllers, controlling that night and sending air support to this fight.

It will catch the watchful US *totally* off guard. Doing precisly what we've done 18 times before is exactly the *LAST* thing they'll expect us to do this time. There is of of course one small problem" "That everyone gets slaughtered in the first 10 seconds?" "That's right, and our Russian Overlords feel that this might be depressing the lads a tad"
The russians probably didnt even bother calling it in, they just decided to abandon their mission on the platoon level since the kremlin cant be trusted, by foreign entities or their very own people - we see it time and time again; no one can trust them.
@Divoulos you realize such aircraft aren't Frontline units right they come up with established air superiority provided by Frontline units. You people think the US would do that need to reevaluate your perception of the US military even woke I'd never test it.
“They simply fucked our convoy with artillery.” Reminds me of a joke I heard a while ago. A young boy asked his grandpa how he was able to identify different forces in WW2. Grandpa responded, “We took potshots at them. If the response was well-aimed rifle fire, they were British. If the response was a burst of machine gun fire, they were Germans. If the response was silence followed by massive air and artillery support that didn’t stop for at least five minutes, they were Americans.”
What would have happened if they took down an American plane? I think Amerika would have screamed article 5. And with so many countries wanting the regime to fall there they would actually agree with that.
I heard about this on a different channel a year or so ago, including the original audio of the calls with sub-titles. The Russians knew this was their mercs, the mercs knew that they were going to engage with Americans, and they were salty as heck that the Russians put all the blame on the mercs for making the mistake of attacking. Great video, thanks for posting it
The original audios are absolutely crazy to listen to. You can still hear the disappointment and fear in the callers voice. Thank you for the support, glad you like the video!
It's simple: the Russians were going for "plausible deniability" and when that didn't work, they immediately sold out the attacking force in an effort to keep themselves credible. If they had admitted that Russians were amongst the forces and that Russia had ordered the attack, that would have been an act of aggression that might have triggered a war between Russia and the US. Now flash forward to the Ukraine war and you see that Russia, and more specific Putin, is still trying to use these same tricks. His forces "only went in on a peacekeeping mission to protect the Russians in the three so-called autonomous republics. Questions about what Russian troops were doing around Kiev then were met with deafening silence. And even now, after more than a year, Russia/Putin still won't admit their act of aggression and blame everyone but themselves. Which is kind of the standard abuser's defence: "I don't want to beat you, but you force me to beat you"

The US gives its wounded soldiers the Purple Heart. My friend is paratrooper who fought in Tora Bora. He gets a stipend every month because he took an Al Qaida bullet in the ass. So yeah, it's not that weird to reward soldiers who made physical sacrifices.

We are militaristic sycophants. We always have the ability to obliterate a Russian or Russian-backed force. The only question is if we want to. But once we want to… just surrender.

@@iga7523 (1) How? I literally just showed you how. All you have to do is read what I said. (2) Not only that but Iraq during the First Gulf War actually had one of the most sophisticated air defense systems in the world and it was a Soviet/Russian backed platform. We turned an advanced Soviet/Russian air defense platform into a formerly existing one almost immediately. In addition to that, Iraq had Russian/Soviet armor that was near the top of the line at the time (in regards to Soviet/Russian supplied armor) and, well, the Iraqi tanks got absolutely obliterated. You should be familiar with these tanks since Russia has been spam sending them to Ukraine since Russia’s good armor has been absolutely devastated. (3) “How do you compare the strongest military to a poor country with barely any infrastructure?” Really shows how embarrassing it is for Russia, “the second strongest military on the world,” that it can’t do a similar thing to Ukraine, a poor country that barely had any infrastructure. Oh wait. That’s right. That’s because the only place Russia’s military is second best is in Ukraine. Ahhh. That’s what people meant by Russia had the “second best military.” They meant that Russia is only second best in poor countries against second rate militaries. I mean look at what happened in Syria. When Russia tried to fight an American force the Russian side got massacred. The Russian side couldn’t even get a kill when they were just absolutely obliterated

I remember this. There was a whole Marine MEU, about 500 Infantry Marines. Along with special operations units. The Russians got decimated. Intelligence reports from the British said it estimated over 300 Russians and other troops died and unknown amount of wounded. They got the death toll from the predators and AC130 surveillance equipment. And word is it was the first ground kills from the F22.
All services was there. And as usual, it was the ChairForce who did the most killing. It’s crazy how the ChairForce is responsible for dishing out more death and destruction in the last 40 years than the Marines has ever done in its entire history.
I had the pleasure of hearing that in a war I was in and til this day, I will never forget that sound. We looked at some of the remnants afterwards, oh my God, I actually started feeling bad, when I heard it again, you knew it was destroying something.
Send it to Ukraine,let see if it still works…Patriot SAM got scrapped already and a reaper drone was downed by Russians without firing a single missile😂😂😂i love to see these in Ukraine how it works😂😂😂
In fact since 2014 the entire army of Ukraine, despite NATO training and massive and constant help from major Western powers, has failed to drive out the small contingent of Russian troops in Donbas and Crimea. A pathetic military performance. It reminds me of the alleged number 1 army in the world, the most technological ever, which after twenty years of war and billions spent in vain, was put to flight by a gang of ragamuffin Taliban armed only with rusty rifles and a few pickups with machine guns. Meanwhile non-Western nations, seeing how the West uses sanctions as an economic weapon, are moving towards dedollarization of their economies
And is exactly why Russia is not going to use nukes. Even a response without nukes from us would have us marching on Moscow (where Moscow was once was at) by the end of the day with the full ass might of our military.

Post 9/11, and for years after that, we went extremely hard then the objective got mixed and so people cared less. Yeah we don't have the determination to go fight in some jungle over someone's politics. When its the politicians games we drag our feet sure. However, go talk to someone in the south, if there were people legitimately spoiling for a fight with us they'd find people with a definite willingness to fight. Edit: forgot to mention the civil war, also, wasn't an example of American willingness either. We basically just took every schmuck straight off the HMS Tater and told them they had to fight to stay. At one point Lincoln had to shell NYC because everyone was rioting over being told to go fight. Maybe the south exemplified a willingness there but that is slightly tainted... for reasons.
That was actually pretty smart of the Russian commander to not allow the sortie of those Sukhois. With that kind of firepower coming from the sky, I'm sure it's no stretch of the imagination to assume that the US Air Force probably had eyes on every inch of that flightline.
of course they did. there is probably 2 awacs constantly in the air in that region. as soon as they fired those engines up that base wouldve been taken out. if they managed to get a jet up it wouldve been blown out of the sky instantly. america sucks at nation building but we do know how to kill things and destroy armies.
Russia: “those aren’t my troops! All lies! Lalalalalala!” USA: “So i DON’T need to worry about the geneva convention, then?” Russia: “WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!”
"Approached a base containing some Army Rangers, Green Berets, and Marines" If I ever heard of a sign from God not to fuck with something, it would be that base 😂😂
A base filled with 3 of the most dangerous and revered groups in all of the US military, the amount of luck those guys needed to not be wiped must have been emense.
I can only imagine the pure joy the American forces must have felt when they realized that they could go full throttle, no holding back. When the brass drops the leash, American soldiers are like feral war dogs. Just an amazingly terrifying display of discipline and bloodthirst. The U.S. government is there for the enemy's protection lol.
@@rasa6914 Afghanistan is often compared with Vietnam, for good reason: -US comes in and steamrolls everything, majority if not all major engagements won with lesser casualties. -Because there was no direct attack on US land, the conflict fell out of favor and thus congress pulls out troops to appease citizens. The US population's interest in the Middle East died back then when Obama finished up with bombing Al Qaeda and weddings.
"What the Russian forces didn’t know was that the oil field was not defended by any fighters, but by American Special Operations Forces, supported by the most powerful air force in the world."

And to think that Russians have the gall to pretend that they are "fighting all NATO" in Ukraine.. what a joke If the US ever decided to get involved in the war, the events described in this video would look like a childs play. Russias military would be simply annihilated like the Iraqi army.

Yeah destroying Wagner and Syrian forces was nice and all, but the most impressive thing about this is the skill and co-ordination of the US controllers on the ground co-ordinating all these different weapon systems and the interoperability of 3 different branches. Like jesus christ you have a bunch of Army SOF calling in Marine artillery, Army helo and Air Force fixed wings in the same battle

Denying that there were any Russians in that force was probably the worst mistake they could have made.

Send a message? They didn't have a lot of choice. It was 40 SF vs 500 fighters. They were close to the US base. You don't fire warning shots and give them a chance to adapt or engage in small arms fights to be fair. Those tactics would get a lot of Americans killed.

Whether the Russians sent them by sheer incompetence or on purpose to serve someone's interest in their own internal political fights is up for grabs.

The oil territory agreements were made after WW1 and from the original US sphere ( Saudi Arabia) US is taking the UK shares in Iraq and Iran ( because UK did not have the power to keep them. This is the big picture in Middle East for the past 100 y. and the background for every conflict there. No other big country will be granted foothold there.
@@hristohristov6118 US is the top producer of oil. US imports 157,000 barrels of oil from Iraq a day. So your point on Iraqi oil is invalid. Makes you an idiot actually. US left Iraq because Iraq wanted US gone so whatever happens after that isn't on the US. ISIS took months to form and US new it for months and warned Iraq about it but the Iraqis did nothing about until it was too late. Also what sh*thole country are you from?

@@melldicray2806 What makes you think the US is a benevolent force?
A crucial aspect of this battle not mentioned here is that when that first shot landed Russian communications went dead. The Americans were jamming _everything._ The Wagners couldn't call for any support, they couldn't coordinate beyond shouting range (which isn't very far when everything is exploding), they couldn't reach headquarters to get them to call off the Americans. The US wasn't just sending a message about their superior firepower and training but about their superior battle management: "cross the line, and you will die."
What line did the Russians cross and who had the authority to make the line? ...Think carefully now.
@@Bronco-1776 The mutually agreed upon line between Russian and America areas of operation. Both countries agreed that it would be wise to not operate in the same areas, lest there be some accidental engagement. That's what the line was and how it came about. As an additional layer of precaution their respective in-theatre commands set up hotlines they could call to reach their counterpart at a moment's notice. Prior to engaging their attackers, the Americans used that hotline to ask the Russian command who was attacking that American position in the American area. The Russian command denied it was Russians.

I heard a second hand story of how/when a German soldier knew they had lost WWII. The soldier spotted a US tank and was well outside of machine gun range so he thought nothing of it until the tank turned its main gun in his direction and fired. He quickly took cover and survived, but the fact that the US military was willing to use such expensive ammo to try and kill a single enemy soldier made him realize what hell his side was up against.
Even their logistics were out matched. The Americans could get cake from England to the frontline while it was fresh
@@doomlord5921 The "cake story" was a scene in the movie "Patton"...I doubt that its true but nevertheless in WWII the American logistical command, "The Red Ball Express" ran 24/7 to keep American divisions supplied with food, fuel, ammo, new replacement equipment and boots and clothing. Also, the American tanks were largely inferior to the German armor and it took literally 5 American tanks to take out one German...but, American production lines cranked out tanks by the thousands. Also, American air supremacy kept the Germans on the run and American troops well covered. Now, 80 years later we have even more formidable logistics and fire power. There is no equal to the American armed forces and the dedicated men and women who valiantly and selfishly serve our country.
@@jaybodenstein609 The 4 American tanks is not true and is a literal myth. Many German tanks could be taken out by Sherman's as the majority were panzer IV. This myth came from the fact that the smallest American tank squad was 5 shermans.

I heard about this on a different channel a year or so ago, including the original audio of the calls with sub-titles.

Great video, thanks for posting it
Plausible Deniability.
Standard government procedure. Russia pretty much fed them to hellhounds who were *specifically* bred to fight Russians.
The original audios are absolutely crazy to listen to. You can still hear the disappointment and fear in the callers voice. Thank you for the support, glad you like the video!
I heard two mercs talking about it,one who survived says it was hell on earth and total clusterfuck from their side
It's simple: the Russians were going for "plausible deniability" and when that didn't work, they immediately sold out the attacking force in an effort to keep themselves credible. If they had admitted that Russians were amongst the forces and that Russia had ordered the attack, that would have been an act of aggression that might have triggered a war between Russia and the US.
Now flash forward to the Ukraine war and you see that Russia, and more specific Putin, is still trying to use these same tricks. His forces "only went in on a peacekeeping mission to protect the Russians in the three so-called autonomous republics. Questions about what Russian troops were doing around Kiev then were met with deafening silence.
And even now, after more than a year, Russia/Putin still won't admit their act of aggression and blame everyone but themselves. Which is kind of the standard abuser's defence: "I don't want to beat you, but you force me to beat you"
If Ukraine is any indication it seems the musicians are scapegoats for the Russian MOD.

(1) How? I literally just showed you how. All you have to do is read what I said.
(2) Not only that but Iraq during the First Gulf War actually had one of the most sophisticated air defense systems in the world and it was a Soviet/Russian backed platform. We turned an advanced Soviet/Russian air defense platform into a formerly existing one almost immediately. In addition to that, Iraq had Russian/Soviet armor that was near the top of the line at the time (in regards to Soviet/Russian supplied armor) and, well, the Iraqi tanks got absolutely obliterated. You should be familiar with these tanks since Russia has been spam sending them to Ukraine since Russia’s good armor has been absolutely devastated.
(3) “How do you compare the strongest military to a poor country with barely any infrastructure?”
Really shows how embarrassing it is for Russia, “the second strongest military on the world,” that it can’t do a similar thing to Ukraine, a poor country that barely had any infrastructure. Oh wait. That’s right. That’s because the only place Russia’s military is second best is in Ukraine. Ahhh. That’s what people meant by Russia had the “second best military.” They meant that Russia is only second best in poor countries against second rate militaries.

In fact since 2014 the entire army of Ukraine, despite NATO training and massive and constant help from major Western powers, has failed to drive out the small contingent of Russian troops in Donbas and Crimea. A pathetic military performance. It reminds me of the alleged number 1 army in the world, the most technological ever, which after twenty years of war and billions spent in vain, was put to flight by a gang of ragamuffin Taliban armed only with rusty rifles and a few pickups with machine guns.
Meanwhile non-Western nations, seeing how the West uses sanctions as an economic weapon, are moving towards dedollarization of their economies

Maybe. But Russia has always been an embarrassment when it came to war. All they ever had was numbers, they had the highest death toll in WW2 and most war before that. Certain moment they must think "Hey, Maybe I'll find something else to be good at". War just isn't it for Russia ya know
@@havefuntazarasu5367the ONLY reason America can’t war is politics and having a weak stomach for war. Since the war for independence/civil war, we’ve never had a war for our existence or freedom. We’ve got the might for it, but not the stomach or motivation. Every war we’ve been in the last 150 years has been on someone else’s behalf

@@alexlevinson8629 Are you forgetting about pearl harbor and the American determination in the pacific? We have the motivation and determination for war as long as it isn't for a bullshit cause. Post 9/11, and for years after that, we went extremely hard then the objective got mixed and so people cared less.
Yeah we don't have the determination to go fight in some jungle over someone's politics. When its the politicians games we drag our feet sure. However, go talk to someone in the south, if there were people legitimately spoiling for a fight with us they'd find people with a definite willingness to fight.
Edit: forgot to mention the civil war, also, wasn't an example of American willingness either. We basically just took every schmuck straight off the HMS Tater and told them they had to fight to stay. At one point Lincoln had to shell NYC because everyone was rioting over being told to go fight. Maybe the south exemplified a willingness there but that is slightly tainted... for reasons.
That was actually pretty smart of the Russian commander to not allow the sortie of those Sukhois. With that kind of firepower coming from the sky, I'm sure it's no stretch of the imagination to assume that the US Air Force probably had eyes on every inch of that flightline.
The reason is the Russian command knows their jets are no match for the US jets and didn't want the outside world to see that.
22's were up. Death sentence to those planes so yes, Russian commander needs a medal for saving those men
of course they did. there is probably 2 awacs constantly in the air in that region. as soon as they fired those engines up that base wouldve been taken out. if they managed to get a jet up it wouldve been blown out of the sky instantly. america sucks at nation building but we do know how to kill things and destroy armies.
