How America Wiped Out Half a Navy Before Dinner! Operation Praying Mantis @ruclips.net/video/zTiGgbVLQHE/видео.html
Strong NCO core is key to why we would win! 20 years as an NCO here. Just a good ol' Sarge, that's me.
That's right. I'm a Chief, myself.
E-5 Mafia represent ✊🏿
Definitely true. Challenge with NCO core is that it must be maintained, which Russian military does not. Low budget, high level of corruption, only partiality professional military and poor training do not help this at all.
Do yanks really call a Sergeant sarge, we'd get beasted, for us it would be Sarn't... A lowly Lance-Jack, Royal Signals ADU NI...
What are you mumbling about? Here in Russia we call you pendóses because you are a greenhouse boys.as soon as you encounter difficulties, you girls start crying.
As an American, I experience this every day. In nearly a decade of military service, I've only had maybe a few dozen encounters with officers.
My supervisors are E6, E7, and sometimes E8. Actually, often I'm being supervised by an E5.
I work as an aircraft mechanic. Most officers have no clue how my job works and we're regularly having to explain problems to them and tell them what we need because they really don't know. They're dealing with more administrative things related to the whole unit and larger mission.
But, pretty much everything dealing with day-to-day operations is handled by enlisted, and often lower enlisted at that.
Once you get to about E7, you're behind a computer almost the rest of your career.
If you took out most officers in the U.S., they'd hardly be missed for a while. If you did that with Russia, their entire military force would be almost completely incapacitated.
Yeah it's true. I was a Chief for 10 years. I did end up going over to the dark side and ended up retiring as a warrant. though ha.
9 years in service and you have not make E5 or E6? Get busted a lot? Yes, brass is pretty much useless. I worked in radar and understandably they had no clue about our magic.
@@Dannysoutherner I have almost 8 years in service and am an E5.
I'm eligible for E6, but I need to be selected for an E6 position. The guard is funny that way.
@@johnc1014and the E-6, E-7, and E-8 positions are AGR or Full-time technicians who can't retire until age 60. Funny how that works.
Your last statement is pure myth. That circulated in the 1960s about Germans during WW2- that without officers, they'd fold- when almost the reverse was the actual case. Don't make the same mistake that so many have made in history, by underestimating the other guy. The Russian armed forces are like those of any other, in that they have an admixture of both good and personnel of all ranks. Their doctrine- like that of any nation's armed forces- likewise has both strengths and weaknesses. Lastly, this is the nuclear age, so pray that we never take them on- because if we do, both sides will take prohibitive casualties and it will make no difference which side begins losing conventionally. That side 'will' resort to use of a nuclear weapon to redress the balance. If those start flying in quantity, few will survive- and no one will care who was winning conventionally when things went nuclear.
I was a Marine, so can only speak about the Marine Corps, but assume it's also true in the Army. EVERY junior ranked Marine is an NCO-in-training or an NCO that is a Staff-NCO-in-training. In other words, EVERYONE of our troops is EXPECTED to be able to take the initiative if their higher ranking leaders are killed or wounded. That is why we win wars, while Russian troops are not taught leadership, not initiative, only blind obedience and when their leaders are killed or abandon them, they are lost.
Really?😳 what kind of war you won?
Dude, when was last time the US fought a real army? And please dont tell me “the Iraqi army”
@@vityamv Dude, the Russian army isn't a "real" army, even though you think it is. They can't even defeat Ukraine.
Hah WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Ukraine is now drafting mentally handicapped and 60 year olds. Russia is using those poor souls as a testing ground and klaus schwab our western petro dollar joo is jumping ship. WERE DOING GREAT BUDDY!!!!
@@dmitryrus4184ils ont gagné la seconde guerre mondiale.Les russes aussi mais avec beaucoup beaucoup d’aides américaines.
I’ve seen an NCO teach an E3 to lead an assault on a machine gun nest and we were told why cause if higher leadership go’s down there’s always someone in charge and can carry on the mission 👍👌✌️🫡🇺🇸
And also we go on the offense when we don’t have anybody to hold us back
As a retired US Marine, the US trains their lowest rank to fight the battle with the same warfare training as the officers in charge. Most countries don't. So, if the US military leadership is killed in battle, the leadership position goes down the ranks, and the unit keeps fighting, to the last man.
Yup. Exactly. I got to train with the Russians in the late 90s. Great guys, seriously. Wish we could be friends. Those guys wished they were in our forces. Their officers are total douches. There are no Command Chiefs or Command Sargent Majors. Nothing like that. There's officers and cannon fodder that's it. E4 Mafia would be executed in Russia not appreciated like US.
And that even applies in the Air Force. My enlisted guys in USAF Weather were the best in the world and could do any operation us officers could do. And trench fighters, too if needed.
@@AmericanMilitaryNetworkpersonally as Ukrainian Greek I'm glad that you survived the 90s personally I don't want to hurt Russian soldiers because the higher ranking officers and the leadership wants you to fight the lower ranking guys don't really have a choice they're just forced into position because they got taken from the streets if we never meet in real life I would like to have a nice drink but I can't drink alcohol so I'll go for coffee
I entered the service just after the US got the last US troops out of South Vietnam. During training I met a Marine master sergeant (I wasn't a marine) and later learned that on his last tour in Vietnam he had received a field commission as Lieutenant and held command of that platoon for the rest of his tour, receiving several personal medals and his platoon receiving a unit medal as well. He wasn't the only platoon sergeant to receive a field commission during that war. They are examples of how the noncommissioned officers in the US military provide leadership that the Russian military doesn't have.
Have you realized that you are mumbling? you're just senile!🤣🤣🤣🤣
As soon as you enter Basic Training you are taught to follow orders and do them exactly. This doesn't mean a soldier doesn't stop thinking for himself. Once the soldier learns his basic Military Occupational Skill he sees the leadership aspects of it. Nothing is absolute until when failure is staring you in the face. A soldier is a leader in training and must be technically and tactically proficient. The soldier must first understand his mission and his part first and how the squad, platoon, and company must do to accomplish it's task. Leaders must encourage all of his soldiers to be able to perform two leadership levels above themselves. As an NCO you should foster to teach all your soldiers to become leaders. In my past I have seen very bad NCOs and Officers who are only obsessed in attaining good performance evaluations than training their subordinates. I did learn from bad leadership and used good examples from good leaders as not to be a bad leader. Meaning I would teach soldiers about their weapons and equipment and battle drills on what they are expected to do. Meaning they understand the task and be able to do them if they get separated or put in a dire circumstance. Use that initiative to accomplish the task or change the outcome to your unit's favor. Understand and set other Courses Of Actions for the mission meaning having a plan B,C,and D for success or a plan when it goes wrong. Teach your sokdiers is bottom line.
In the Russian military, the officers push their soldiers forward. In the US military, the officers provide restraint.
Accurate.
That’s the most AI generated thumbnail I’ve ever seen
As a Russian bot myself I’ll just take this whole video as Western American Capitalist Dog propaganda. ;D
@@Tragicide nice…
I learned EVERYTHING an NCO was supposed to know as a lance corporal (E-3) and held an NCO billet without the actual rank and when I was promoted to Corporal (E-4) they gave me a squad which was unexpected because as everyone in the Marine Corps Infantry knows that Squad Leader is a Sgt's job, NOT a corporal's! But I couldn't turn down the job even as I questioned that there were 2 Corporals in our Platoon that were senior to me and without hesitation I just accepted only to be told that the other 2 Corporals were seen as incompetent or not ready for the job. And the ONLY reason I was ready for the job is because the NCO's that I had in Security Forces were from Recon and Anglico
Russia and most Communist and Socialist countries have a very different mindset when it comes to loss of life. They don’t seem to mind when they have atrocious losses whereas America values their war fighters and will do whatever it takes to save their lives.
America has the money from robbing the whole Globe, of course they can keep low losses. Also USA never fought anyone who can fight back.
The US doesn't fight for good reasons. So, our soldiers die for bad/no reason.
Russia is not communist or socialist. It's run by a Right wing authoritarian in a capitalist market system.
And American military will do whatever it takes to bring their warriors home no matter how small the pieces of them are left, no one is left behind!!
Russia is not communist or socialist. It's run by a hard right dictator in a capitalist free market framework.
NCOs drive the Army in combat for sure!
As a former NCO I totally agree with this narrative-
Please remind me when US military faced any kind of professional army instead of bearded fellows in slippers?
I assume it's pretty fun to kill a man armed with an early XX century rifle while sitting in a bulletproof armored vehicle.
However, as a Russian, I'm pretty happy that you think about our military in a such way
The way I see it is the US soldier gets paid more has better equipment and his or her life is valued more by US citizens but yes the NCO runs the military with help from upper ranks without the NCO the military would be just like the Russian army.
Difference is that Russia lost most of professional soldiers, now they have only people with guns- cannon meat. By last information I heard, they bringing them to the front line in civilian clothes.
The short answer is that Russian soldiers speak Russian and live in Russia while American soldiers speak English and live in the USA.
No. Not really. American troops are disciplined and honest and rarely disgusting. Russian soldiers are disgusting and rarely disciplined or honest. Look at how each handled Afghanistan. Look at Russia in Ukraine.
@@CarlosArizonawhat are you smoking?
constan group гаре§ of a little girls everywhere abroad is it rarely disgusting? and what about Afghanistan and Ukraine?@@CarlosArizona
That's not the "short answer", that's the ignorant answer.
No, FH. The NCO is backbone of the US Army. You dmf.
They’re both great militaries if they weren’t they wouldn’t be world powers. Russians have suffered a lot more to keep their sovereignty and have taken down some of the greatest armies the world has seen give them the respect they deserve.
I think the "technological" disparities he meant is One Lancet costing 50thousand max can blow up Abrams tanks costing minimum 2mil. And I don't have any info that when Russian officers got killed, unit is incapitated, seriusly I dunno what that word means. Just promote the Senior Segent or Praporshik to an officer rank then! He'll do the job! How do you think Russian forces fought in high attrition battles like Stalingrad or more recently Artemovsk/Avdeevka handled it? Just open up old Soviet movies like Osvobozhdenie, or War And Peace, you get the idea. What I know is Soviet/Russian forces are normally well known for its "inter service" cooperations. A Navy man with rank Captain can just go and lead a brigade of Infantryman, yeah its common. In Ww2 these Navy captain can still be seen wearing their black navy suits with their sailor caps while in command of battalions of Army men. Most visible in Stalingrad and Sevastopol. In US forces for that to happen you need to sign hundreds of papers that better u keep men leaderless, untill an Army CO arrived. The interservice rivalry is insane over there.
To be fair, the Russian army is a draft army. You get a lot of unwilling and straight out unskilled soldiers. I know this since I served in a similar army (not the Russian army). We were also taught to rely on 2-3 officers. I think the special Russian services, for example Spetznaz or VDV, contains soldiers with a lot more individual skills. They also have much better gear than the normal forces. So it would be more fair to compare to them, I think.
Thats so true.
they are all dead dude.
Most of what we have seen is mercenaries who command convicts that were promised exoneration of their crimes if they fight. Notice how when wagner was out of the picture they lost 3 areas immediately that had been stalemates from the beginning of the war. Avdivka got pounded like a 🍑by hypersonics
The US Army was also a draft army WW2 yet we still had a strong nco
@@timesthree5757yes that’s because ppl in the U.S are taught to speak up to authority or take action when they feel something is wrong that the authorities didn’t catch.
There was an incident that happened between a US airline and the exact same incident happened to a Chinese Airline. Ling story short the Chinese Pilots was afraid to speak up to his officer when he noticed something wrong while the American pilot spoke up to his officer when his officer didn’t catch the problem, the Chinese airline ended up in fatality while the US Airline made it.
The US is built off of the working ppl running the country, businesses, etc so a draft is nothing
Honourable and Beloved Army chief officers,
The Army officers endless battle is saving all lives from negative energies. The officers precious services is bring global bonding in regular to live free all time.
My hope we will be attain battleless field on regular coming days. All energies can only send the True forms to save our global environment.
Thank you so much to all Army officers.
My father at the end of his career while he was in the Vietnam war he was an E-7, he was still in active. He was behind a desk from the start of his time in Vietnam, he was also a World War III and the Korean war, he was in active battle. It was not an easy life whatsoever.
Wait WWIII, how did we have a third world war and not know about it, oh wait that must have been the real forgotten war, the Korean War was just a coverup.
Russia: alcoholism is an expected combat state.
What's the difference between US and British soldiers?
The US low-level Squad is top heavy with NCOs where the British aren't.
British Private Soldiers are thinking soldiers and can operate effectively without command,control and direction....this I've seen when working on operations with the US in Iraq
Being a hard arse comes natural toAust/USA/UK.Tough as guts get some.T800Aust
Soviets and later russians never had any illusions on US superiority. That is the basis of their differences.
Just imagine yourself commanding inferior army against full might of USA. Suddenly higher tolerance for casualties makes sense. There is no way to prevent casualties when fighting top military in the world.
"life is cheap in Russia" is dangerous myth which leads to underestimating the Russian soldier. That in turn costs lives. They can be beaten but its still serious work.
We're trained and well equipped
The us says it has better lower level leadership and it might be true
But the the Russian federation has a decent record such as ultimately winning in Chechnya and generally beating the terrorists in the caucuses
The us has shortsighted higher leadership and terrible taste in allies

American soldiers arent constantly intoxicated like russian soldiers. 😂
Mm Russian soldiers know that they will be used as cannon fodder, the US hopes they wont
In Russian army, soldiers are abused as a self-purpose. In the US forces, hardness in training does not serve as a self-purpose but is driven towards combat preparation.
thanking an American for his service in Iraq is literally the same as thanking a Russian for his service in Ukraine
Bro Iraq is a free country. We got rid of Saddam Hussain and ISIS. We're not occupying it and we haven't murdered 500000 people. We didn't make it a state .
@@AmericanMilitaryNetwork USA made and funded ISIS... the country became worse even after they took out Saddam, an illegal invasion based on lies.
Iraq is literally thriving right now, on their own. What are you talking about? If Russia Invaded Iraq, Iraq would just be another Russian state under brutal totalitarian rule forever ever and ever. They would never leave. They're not invading Ukraine to free Ukraine or even for oil. Putin is invading Ukraine because he sees it as a breakaway state. He has no intention of freeing it ever. Right?
@@AmericanMilitaryNetwork they murdered 500K child during sanctions, funded ISIS and destablized the country...
Also American soldiers are not orks like most Russian soldiers .
Naaah, can be debated...if you look at previous US wars.
Cant compare because USA never fought of this scale after vietnam. And they even retreated cowardly from Afghanistan fearing taliban. While the russian army right now is forged in fire and is battle hardern. They're testing new tactics and 20th century warefare.
Somebody should tell him . . .
American Troops r the best. Nobody, I'm sure nobody don't want the smoke from Americans. If u deny, ur lying to urself and ur trolling
Yeah that's accurate for sure.
serious question. when has the US army won a war?
@@ScottPittman-jc7ph The revolutionary war, the war of 1812. Maybe you wouldn't count the revolutionary war, as it was called the continental army then, not the US army.
So True.
Yup.
Russia lost 12 million plus men in WW2, America 440 thousand, fighting on 2 fronts.
And we're both still using the same strategies. US work smarter not harder. Russia throw millions of their own people at it.
Russia faced 3.5 million Germans on the eastern front compared to only three quarters of a million facing the whole of the allied force in the west and for a lot longer.
You are missing a lot of caveats here.
the Soviets had to take on the vast majority of the German Army. 8/10 German casualties were inflicted by the Soviets.
@@preshlock And started the war later.
God bless our troops.
I call out the misleading title. "Russian" should be substituted for "European". The best channels do not mislead.
What do you mean?
Ermmm, nope!?? European soldiers are generally speaking of higher quality than Russian ones
@@TheRogueminatorNot true at all. Western European militaries are a joke. Germany, for example, had such low recruitment that they have several times proposed filling their ranks with foreign nationals.
France was easily expelled from its former African colonies with barely any force in the past two decades. The UK is proficient, but their tiny numbers prevent them from sustaining intercontinental operations for a long duration.
Europe as a whole has neglected its military readiness to the point that world powers consider it irrelevant.
@@Mautiks in 1939 America had a smaller Army than Albania, things can change and quite quickly.
@@davidreeves4556 That’s because America was pacifist and had an isolationist policy. That changed when pirates, terrorists, Europe, and Japan wouldn’t leave us alone and dragged us into war after war.
Now we understand that war is inevitable, and we choose to fight enemies in their homeland rather than in ours.
Albania can, in way way, surpass America’s military might at this stage. America led the industrial revolution. Our economy was already established.
And now that we are the largest economy in the world, with the most consolidated wealth, the center of global trade and finance, the seat of the UN with Security Council veto power, the founder of the most powerful military alliance in world history, the developer of cutting edge technology, home of the most successful space program, there is no catching up…
Europe will not catch up with their laughable 30-hour work weeks and two-hour lunch breaks 🤣
🇺🇸
One is a man, the other is an "It's ma'am"!
I think currently the difference is Russia has fought against a peer opponent whereas all western troops only have experience against goat herders with Kalashnikov’s . When western troops have been on the end of some peer artillery , ground attack aircraft and anti tank weapons then you may reach the Russian soldiers ability or even surpass it but not until .
Iraq was a professional military when they started the Gulf War. You only believe they were "Just goat herders" because the US-led coalition rolled over them ridiculously easy and you just assumed they were all peasants. Iraqi military had 1 million men, 700 aircraft, 5,500 tanks, 10,000 armored vehicles, and 4,000 artillery guns. They also had combat experience from the War against Iran.

Everyone is trained to overcome, adapt, and drive on with or without Officers. SNCOs and NCOs ensure the success of our military 🪖 since 1775.
That's why America loses every war,and abandons all their allies.Police actions against the third rate armies! It's a nice looking and very spendy army,I give them that.😅
That's politics that do that, they tie the hands of our fighting force
The different between US Army and Russian Army is Military doctrine and level of Military training and Military Education and training.
Russia has always been big on the human wave attack like China does. It does work but look at Russian losses in Ukraine. Around half a million men. You could not use this method with American forces. we have not done a human wave since WW2.
Russian losses are small compared to the at least 1/2 MILLION dead Ukrainian soldiers.
@ScottPittman-jc7ph Russia is getting near half a million. They lost 400k troops in 18 months. The US lost 450k troops in all of WW2 as a comparison
@@ScottPittman-jc7phNonsense. By all accounts, Russian losses are 7-10 times that of Ukraine.
Russian ground forces before the war were around 400k. Fighting component of that is around 60-80k men.
Half a million men lost means that russian losses on combat units has suffered around 500% casualties.
my question: how do they keep fighting and can this skill be learned? Commonly 30% losses are enough for unit to lose all real capacity. We MUST know how they do this and how it can be countered.
@user-xk3vk6dz8m We KNOW how they do it. They pull conscripts off the street, barely train them, and throw them into the slaughter. They're lucky to get a couple weeks of inadequate training. Soldiers in professional militaries undergo 3-6 months of training AT A MINIMUM before seeing combat.
The Russians are currently doing quite well. I wonder if they are adapting. It would be interesting to get info on any changes in organization.
IDK about quite well? They haven't got past 20 miles into Ukraine in 18 months and have lost over 400,000 troops. I mean the US lost 450,000 in 4 years of WW2 fighting Nazis and Japan.
@@AmericanMilitaryNetwork Different war. Right now they are moving pretty fast near Kharkiv. Ukraine looks like it is about to collapse. We will see shortly.
@@AmericanMilitaryNetwork you've reversed the numbers. Ukraine has lost more than 1/2 MILLION since US proxy war began.
@@ScottPittman-jc7ph that's simply an outright lie. Even leaked Pentagon docs referencing real Ukrainian losses are a fraction of that. Stop being a cheerleader telling lies.
Well? Guy.. the amount of people they've lost and the land gained in the last year is a freakin joke. They lost more people in Ukrainian now than the U.S has lost in the last 75 years of Combat. Let that sink in for a moment
✝️🇭🇷🕊🇺🇦✝️
*I am of the opinion that NOT A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIERS (AS WELL AS SOLDIERS FROM THE WEST) COULD GO INTO A WAR CONFLICT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY WILL CERTAINLY NOT COME BACK ALIVE from that conflict... The Russians are CONSTANTLY leaving (unit after unit) in stages from which RARELY ONE COMES BACK ALIVE* .. (or am I wrong?)
⚡️⚡️❤️🔥👊❤️🔥⚡️⚡️
You absolutely right
U r wrong
Russia has taken losses but it's basically fighting nato in Ukrainian bodies
Russian Soldiers SOP: One gets the rifle, one gets the ammo, one with the rifle drops the rifle when shot, one with the ammo picks the rifle and shoots rifle or vice versa!🤣
Yeah, so that neither can shoot while both are alive. Movies taught you well.
you have just watched a pretty bad Hollywood movie
US soldiers are different from Russian soldiers are actually trained and not just drunken violent criminals.
The war in Ukraine is going on so painfully hard because Russians are fighting against Russians there. if Russian soldiers were opposed by American soldiers in Ukraine, then Russian tanks would already be on Gibraltar. That's the main difference.
Lay off the vodka, Ivan. "Russian" is a nationality. Ukrainians are of Ukrainian nationality. The US and NATO could roll through Russia in a month if they wanted to. If it weren't for the nuclear weapons Russia inherited from the Soviet Union, Russia would be nothing more than a gas station disguised as a third-world country.
Well the US will find this in hard way.
@@X-jn87ybt unfortunately it isn't. Americans have Polaks, Romanians, Baltics, Finns, Swedes and other cannon fodder as reserve.🤷
American soldiers defend Israel. Russian soldiers Defend Russia. See the difference ?
USA, USA, USA! 'nuf said.
On the other hand, the US military is now 0-4 against guys wearing bathrobes and flip flops carrying rusty AKs.
That has nothing to do with the ability of the individuals fighting or even the overall force and everything to do with the rules of engagement and war. When one side follows them and the other side uses them to their enemies adherence to those rules to their advantage by violating every one that can completely negate any advantage between the two forces.
If you look at how quickly the us military deployed to Iraq and completely destroyed their military that’s a true comparison of force on force ability.
Once they start to fight non uniform non nation state entities that hide among the civilian population and follow no known rules of engagement, laws of war or conventions naturally the military’s effectiveness becomes severely degraded.
Nevertheless any asymmetrical war you may be implying they “lost” they still won the war of attrition.
Mmmmmm.... I see your point but if the US was going all out scorched earth, no F's given, there would be no middle east left
And we killed millions of them. The only reason we weren't successful in Vietnam or Afghanistan is that the military wasn't allowed to perform total war in those examples.
@@AmericanMilitaryNetwork excuses, excuses, excuses. No, we didn't "kill millions". What is "total war"? Killing the babies in their cribs too? The most bombed countries in history are 1) North Vietnam 2) South Vietnam 3) Laos. So, how were we prevented from waging "total war"?
