No less effective, but at the same time underestimated against the background of the appearance of various types of drones, remains the impression of the enemy with the help of mining by the forces of engineering and sapper units.
In the video, the results of the support battalion of the 15th brigade of operational assignment of NGU "Kara-Dag"💪🫡⛰️⚔️
Fuck me do I ever hate landmines.
Obviously fuck Ruzzia, and Ukraine isn’t doing anything wrong defending itself in this way.
But there’s something entirely different about passive warfare like that.
The footage of drones dropping grenades are pretty brutal too - but for me there’s something different between being hunted by a weapon system engaged in active warfare, and the passive indifference of mines.
There’s a lot of footage from this war that live rent free in my head, but an especially brutal one was of a Ukrainian soldier(medic?) during the first significant use of western armor counter offensive.
They jumped out of the APC, clearly picking their landing spot, and immediately their leg was blown off by a landmine. You could see them succumbing to shock as they’re trying to get a Tourniquet on. Thankfully his buddies immediately loaded him up and left, but it’s stayed with me more than any of the others.
That whole video you’re referring to is rough and ought to be shown to anyone who glorifies war as “neat”
