Well, I see someone fall over at 1:09 but nothing at 1:27. That apart, was it your decision to call "adult comment " on that ? Seeing someone fall over is not horrifying, or do you think the average viewer age here is 19 ?

The Poles surely are seroius about their defence, $85bn worth of orders!
And I can"t blame them. However the numbers are just mind boggling. Eg. 1336 MBT"s, 648 units of self propelled howitzers, 96 Apaches, 18 HIMARS and much more, everything on top of their current inventory that isn't very modest either.
On their way to be the strongest army in Europe.

The authorities of Latvia decided to hand over to the army of Ukraine cars confiscated from drunk drivers
The Saeima (parliament) of Latvia approved in the final reading amendments to the law on support for the civilian population of Ukraine, which provide for the possibility of transferring state-owned vehicles to the ownership of the government of Ukraine free of charge. Delphi reports.
“We can sell the vehicles confiscated from drunk drivers by selling them, handing them over for processing or dismantling them for spare parts, but we see that in the current conditions they would be useful support for the people of Ukraine,” said Raimonds Bergmanis, Chairman of the Seimas Defense Commission.
The decision to transfer confiscated vehicles to the needs of the Ukrainian army in each case will be taken by the government of Latvia. Vehicles will be transferred by an organization that cooperates with the government of Ukraine and receives requests for assistance.
Earlier, Latvian Finance Minister Arvils Asheradens made a proposal to transfer cars confiscated from drunk drivers to Ukraine. He was supported by the ruling coalition in the Latvian Seimas, Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins said.

Bejesus, +1010 reported for yesterday.
Even if 50% would be propaganda it would still mean that a full strength russian infantry BTG was destroyed. Yesterday. In 24 hours.
Even though Russia is a big country with a lot of people, its limits are there. At some point they need to put all in or fold. Whatever either one means is anyones guess.

It's not that they do it entirely on purpose. Apparently they drive the vehicles into routes they believe have been cleared but have already been mined again by artillery. First one blows up, the rest panic. As they can't reverse fast enough they need to turn the vehicles around running into more mines. Eventually they all get blown up. Astonishing to look at. Not to mention driving too close to each other, driving in a row close to front line, not having the mine sweepers in the lead vehicles amd so forth.
Very clear to me at 1:27. Surprised you failed to see it.
Tartfillet fan,
He fall’s over just as he’s being shot at. Doubt he’s tripped over his shoe lace. I also do see him being shot at again about 15 seconds later.
Think wokka was just giving people a heads up. Some people may find a video of somebody being shot, a little horrific. I don’t see a problem with his/her heads up.

that has been reported recently. They drive their vehicles into minefields and send the infantry running towards defensive lines in waves. There are a few drone videos of such idiocy circling.

This is almost aviation content, #583 was a competitor in the single stage to orbit turret toss. Reading the inscription, it turns out to have been attached to the group that was involved in the atrocities at Bucha in March 2022. That it gained donations to the defence of Ukraine from the criminals of the Kremlin is a fitting end to it.

nope nothing at 1:24. But at 1:27 he fires a burst in the direction that the Russian was seen to fall down in, after being shot the first time. Sometimes I feel this site is being trolled!
the demise of 35 wagner through a snipers night vision sight. This in 3 hours, on one field, in front of one sniper, in a front 1300km long. No wonder the russkies are losing a thousand troops daily.

News: The US has recently begun seeing “disturbing” signs that Beijing wants to “creep up to the line” of providing lethal military aid to Russia without getting caught. US officials have been concerned enough that they have been sharing this intelligence w/allies at Munich.
