- In this video we will look at how the booby traps used by the Vietcong soldiers during the Vietnam War work.
Vietcong Booby Traps became known because of the damage they caused not only physically but also psychologically to American soldiers during the Vietnam war.
Physical and psychological because the damage and pain caused by these booby traps on the human body was really horrifyingly unimaginable.
The American soldiers entering the enemy's den would be really nervous because at any moment, one of them will fall victim to a booby trap.

I want to use your video in India how can I?
Terimakasih videonya, sekarang aku siap melawan anak gang sebelah 😂
Vietcong strategy was not to kill enemy soldiers but to injure them enough for hospital care. As caring for injured soldier is more expensive and requires more labor to care for than a dead one.
Not only that but the mental trauma and constant paranoia of being booby trapped threw US soldiers off their war mentality and purpose. In short terms viet cong was living in American soldiers mind rent free, no matter what firepower you got it depends on the person. And they were not in the game
@@wavyislander did you know your more likely to survive if you joined the VC or US army than be a civilian in Vietnam. The civilian deaths 3million while military death is only around 300,000+.

Even if a trap fails. It would probably spook the soldiers to the point of overwhelming stress.
Nah I think they usually kept dancing
@@mickmccasker6401 and they kept dying.
@@mrfroghello and killing (unarmed civilians).
I realy admire the Vietnams for being so creative with their traps. Even if their enemy has succeeded to enter their land there will still be many dangerous obstacles
Vietnam had been fighting invaders for hundreds of years. They were masters of jungle warfare
The Vietnams? So we're referring to Vietnam like the Americas now? If so, which part of "the Vietnams" are you referring to? North or South?
@@CumBrianFries Vietnam is always one nation, neither North or South, which was a division created by American imperialists.
Nó hầu hết là bẫy thú mà tổ tiên của chúng tôi dùng để bẫy những con thú, nó đc cải tiến đôi chút trong chiến tranh😂😂😂
@@angkhoanguyen6114 of course of course....
Lots of spikes, got it.
shit covered spikes to be more precise
And yet many won't get the point lol
Well South East Asia is the epicentre of Spikes anyway. That's the one who attract colonialist to came in first place
You cant solve problem with spike , you need alot of spikes :))) the more spike you have the more problem been solve :)))
shit covered spike
As a veteran of Vietcong game, this is the most difficult game I've ever played.
If this happened in the real world, I would definitely refuse to go to war in Vietnam
As a vet of this game myself i totally agree. I was terrified to crawl in pitch black tunnels seeing nothing, moving by touch. Years later i learned there was a flashlight.
Same here dude😂
The tunnel rat missions were the hardest. Those thin flash sticks were few in number so rationing was key. Everything looked so dark, regardless.
Salute to Vietnam people and soldiers
It did happen. If you want to see these traps and how they work, we have all of the replicas in Dia Dao Cu Chi war museum in Vietnam, come visit and witness.
I like how the soldier keeps dancing even after being stabbed in the face. 😂 2:43
Well, when the rhythm has already got you...
This was the era of motown He was told to get down
Amazing replys to all…I bow down to you
Greater chance of survival with a positive attitude.
"If you stumble, make it part of the dance."
A common signal that many Vietcong used not only in trap marking but also inteligent signal is the V symbol which stand for Vietnam. They often are a rock cut to triangle shape, a 2 branch tree or a deer antles. They don't have a static meaning, sometime they mean "careful trap here", other time they are "this path is safe". To fully understand the V they gave it a context to get the meaning. For example, if the V point north it mean a safe mark, if it point south mean dangerous mark. If V point to a big tree mean hideout near. If V point to a water source like stream, small pond or if V being cut, broke mean this is the way US went. They even choose color for the V rock to diffirentiate between bad and good, black stone has negative meaning and opposite.
V stand for victory 😊
Crazy to think that humans actually got caught in these traps and had to go through that, way out in a jungle on the other side of the globe from their home. I was watching a special on the Vietnam war recently where they were interviewing soldiers from both sides this many years after the war. The Vietnamese soldiers said they had no idea why America was attacking them and they were fighting because they thought the Americans had come to kill them all. Many Vietnamese soldiers still didn't know what the war was being fought for even today. We were being told the Vietnamese soldiers were fighting because they were trying to spread communism. The Vietnamese said that was untrue and they were just fighting because they were being attacked and didn't know what else to do. America constantly lies to start wars. Like when we destroyed Iraq over weapons of mass destruction they didn't have. Scary to know we live in a country that constantly starts wars based on lies and can just send you to fight and die in those wars whenever they want.
Israel gave the orders…
@@Svecenader And still is
US controlled and ruined by evils gov,media
As the vietnamese myself, this is true, we just want to live in freedom and harmony. China then france then japan invade and make us suffer for a long long time, so we just need something different to liberate ourselves, so communism is the only way. But we're different from china or Russian, HCM send letter to USA before they invaded us said "we want to be friend" but the final USA decision createted Vietnam war which USA said :"to stop spread of communist" but then what? They shakehand with China in 1970s to cooperation fighting again Vietnam. Then what the purposes of Vietnam War?
@@GinZzZ98 as an American I'd like to apologize to you for the atrocities our government has caused you and so many others in the world. We are not all war mongering blood thirsty people. Much love from over here...I bid you peace ❤️
7:44 imagine you are in one of the most brutal wars in history and right before you're about to die you pull out the "bellie Jean's not my lover" dance moves.
As a Vietnamese, I would say our traps are lethal
As an vietnamese, I can confirm that we used a lot of spike for it :)
Вы молодцы, нагнули американцев 😊🤗🤝
You never outran our napalm milk run strikes
@@michaelrhodes6461usa lost the Vietnam war every sane American knows it was a useless war that left the veterans traumatized and neglected
IEDs became more popular in Afghanistan because the taliban realized they couldn't kill American troops wearing level 4 armor. No AK rounds could defeat the armor, so American troops kept getting back up after being shot. When you look at American deaths later on in Afghanistan, you'll see more fatalities to IEDs.
good job😊
Well done to the Vietnamese people for the victory against Americans!! Americans and French shouldn't have gone to Vietnam. I have visited Vietnam and i respect those people!! If anyone visits the War Remnants Museum at Ho chi Minh and Cu Chi tunnels will learn what really happened at war between Vietnam and American. Respect to Vietnamese people!!!
Excellent explanation. As a student of Strategic Studies, I am really amazed with your visualization.
That soldier dancing at 2:37 or so is hilarious
😂😂
That feeling when you avoid all the traps! 🕺
He had a story to tell grandson
Soldier : I'm not afraid of these little tricks~~! 🤞
There another soldier dancing at the start lol
There are many types of traps that you don't know much about, such as traps with dung placed on the mine. If you want to remove them, you must use your bare hands. Of course, after removing them you will find a nearby lake to clean them, but unfortunately that lake also has traps
The thing about war is your greatest success is not necessarily to kill your enemy but to make them unable to go any further; the end goal of such tactics is to make it more of a task to care for them than to just haul another body off the field at a better time. Mind you, if an enemy has captives, the smartest and most efficient method to deal with them is to cut off their hands and then let them go. Once their hands are no longer there, the person(s) will be no threat and it also completely demoralizes them instantly. I know this all sounds dark but the point is that death is absolutely not the worst thing that can happen to a enemy, it is the psychological and irreversible damage that can bring the fighting to a more immediate end.
Habe you Eber heard about the Geneva Convention?
@@johnriera7383The Geneva Suggestion?
@@johnriera7383 if you believe terrorist believe in the Geneva convention, then you definitely have a lot learn. I am not suggesting I believe in such tactics, I am just making an objective observation. This is the difference between a military unit like a country in America or Europe vs countries that do not have a tightly organized standing military. However, in all countries there are always the loose and unhinged individuals. The point of what I said is to highlight that any fighting force which goes against another fighting unit and assumes their opponent will only use certain tactics is a foolish fighting unit. A clear example of underestimating your enemy is 9/11. The United States never imagined any terrorist organization would actually use commercial airliners as lethal weapons and then use that airplane to kill people in buildings as well, all being civilians whom were not a standing military unit.
@@johnriera7383guerillas tactics follow no rules and it's adopted when your enemy have a much greater force than you, and your only viable option is to play unfair in an unfair game. Sounds wrong but history teach us that rules apply only on peace times.
These tactics worked for Vietnam but I think it is only unique to that region. In the Mau Mau uprising of Kenya, warriors returned to ancient practices of head hunting, it was the swiftest war to independence. It's beyond psychology when British soldiers and Colonels and commanders are returning back to the Kingdom without heads, it's almost like the vilest spirit from the depths of darkness was awakened and sent chills down the spines of the Entire empire and there are still more stories that are beyond phenomena like the Lions of Tsavo railway project it inspired the Hollywood movie Ghosts and the Darkness what they will know is there were tribes who knew ancient psychomancy and could possess animals so the Lions were killing workers but not eating them, their bodies were dragged into dens, it was bigger than the "curse of Tut" and was disrupting the railway work, they brought in a sharpshooter and his account of shooting the lion multiple times and it not dying is really scary
That soldier dance got me laughing hard😂
There is a fact that American soldiers are smart enough to recognize the types of traps used in the video above. Over time, they will understand the operating principles and how to identify them. However, the main effectiveness of these traps, firstly, is psychological, and secondly, and more importantly, they make the march slower and more difficult. They make the goals the soldiers aim for not easy to achieve or impossible to achieve. The longer they stay in the jungle, the longer they are in the field, the greater the danger that awaits them, such as epidemics and prolonged rainy seasons. That is, in fact, even more terrifying than the traps themselves.
If You know how it works it is too late
El problema es que la mayoria de los soldados norteamircanos estaban super drogados no te olvides de eso 😂
Yeah the longer they stay in the jungle, the more likely their ass gonna get malaria, which is a trap on top of a trap in rainy seasons
Still lost 😂😂😂
Wow, incredible done, never thought that they used so many traps. Gratulation for work !
Actually we have more than this, some time it's a combination of trap like poop poisonous and water, hidden sniper and trap, or landmine to step in.
The traps made by the viet congs were very creative and you explained it in detail.
Brilliant...good job and thanks ;))
Guy speaking: This is a fatal trap
American soldier: Dancing
2:40 props to homie for his dance moves
Super bro
I'm waiting for next video of this part
When the worlds most technological advanced army meets the worlds most spiked army lol.
How deeply and detailed knowledge of you on Vietnamese traps. Im really admire
Còn thiếu một số loại mìn bẫy, bẫy trực thăng...và bẫy bằng viên đạn để trong ống tre chỉ là truyền thuyết thôi, đã có nhiều giải thích và thực nghiệm để chứng minh nó không có tác dụng rồi.
Sometimes for the punji sticks in the tunnels it doesn’t kill you, it just causes enough pain to make you scream which will attract more tunnel rats to go to your location, and it is very tiring trying to get someone out, and then thats when the vietnam will …. You
Man! They had quite the variety of traps! 😯 It would suck making them though, I'm quite sure you can get injured yourself easily if you mess up!
Thanks I only knew of a few traps and assumed there were more but not that many deadly ones. They were creative
Absolutely amazing animations.... incredible work I can't wait to see more...... can you do more booby traps from history? Or animations of punishments from history like the brazen bull, the guillotine, the blood eagle, the boats or things along those lines?
Việt Nam 🇻🇳 😂😂😂 chiến tranh usA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Boy does mitsi studios have a treat for you…
I was scrooling down the comments while the video was still playing. First animation I saw after your comment is the one where the US soldier is dancing around the trap hahahahaha
Sorry, but I had to give a good laugh for that.😂
The creativity was beyond else
Good work 👏💯 love it 😊
RIP to the soldiers
Thanks! Now i know how to make escaping my cellar more exciting :]
Great illustration
I once copied the punji bear trap to see how effective it could be using a long handled shovel in place of a leg. It was surprising how well the two small boards clapped together around the base like a leg.
This is the HELL on earth! Brutal death traps ☠️
Salamat po kuyah! I'm Vietnamese and about to build some of these!
Amazing ❤
Love the use of 'unalived' at 1:40
1984 doublespeak
In vietnam they don't still talk about the war we do in America most of the people there just want to get on with their lives and also a good portion of the people are too young to remember the war
VN đã chiến đấu chống quân xâm lược hàng ngàn năm. Chiến đấu với Trung Quốc, Mông Cổ, Khmer, Xiêm, Pháp, Nhật, Mỹ. Cuộc chiến với Mỹ cũng chỉ là một trong các cuộc chiến đã qua thôi. Dù sao hiện giờ VN đã hòa bình và tự do giống như chúng tôi đã mong ước nên chúng tôi không quan tâm nhiều đến quá khứ. Tương lai mới là quan trọng.
Молодцы вьетнамцы
I love Vietnamese!!! My respects to them!!!
So, it's Vietnam soldier not Rambo. 🤔
Excellent
Blimey, they love their spikes 😮
This was an interesting video. With spikes.
Satisfying animation!
Thank you for the trap ideas. IRS doesnt stand a chance
I second that. Tax dollars going to fight wars.
Got it thanks, the boys are gonna love this at the next sleepover
as with all eastern defensive arts, the opponents mass and momentum is used against him.
I was an OR Medic at the 3rd Field Hospital in Saigon... those traps were pretty effective... those were scary times. Even to this day, I refer to copperheads as owners of the summers , just like the VC owned the night over in VietNam. I hope both sides learned from this war. I know, as a young man, I found out how fragile life was. On either side. I've got Vietnamese friends that flew helicopters for the U S and friends that had to leave the country after it fell.
Simple and effective
Thanks, my 5th grade brother will now be able to do a little trolling in the schools forest during breaks between classes where they play then
During that time, Thailand was fully affected. Many military bases in Thailand during that time Thailand does not allow But the consequences of the war that has a direct impact Thailand therefore must accept and be on the same side as the United States. Several military bases, airports in the northeast and training grounds before going to Vietnam. By training in Korat
the VCs watched alot of Home Alone. They imagined all GIs to be Joe Pesci.
good info
Были еще ловушки со скорпионами, барабаны с кольями, шершни + мыло, бамбуковые гранаты.
2:36 why he dancing tho😂
Bro accepted his fate 😂😂
PTSD my boy.
Bro pls tell me where are you collecting the clips pls reply
so many traps in just 2 minutes !!
They had one where a grenade was placed in a bamboo tube in a tree and a string was placed over a branch then down to a trip wire. Qhen they hit the trup wire it pops out and the spoon comes out. It detonates hanging in the slightly above head height.
The soldiers dancing while being impaled always gets me
So this is how Rambo got knowledge of such traps...
2:36 bruh is dancing to his fate 💀💀
Well done Vietnam. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How did you create this type of video (3d animation with avatar) ?????
Planning to visit Vietnam now changing my mind
That was in the past when we fought with enemies bro, in peacetime we were famous for our friendliness.
It's not made to kill, but to slow the whole platoon down. Now you got 4 - 5 soilders that have to carry the guy and call for evact.
This trap is also fatal, they just added spikes for decoration.
Just one simple question, What the hell were Americans doing a foreign land without any provocation or attack. You were the one who are aggressor or intruders here.
mỹ mang bom đạn đến giết dân VN gán cho họ là Việt Cọng nên bị dân họ ghét họ làm bẩy khắp nơi kkk

The Vietnam War was a long, costly, and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The conflict was intensified by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
As a Vietnamese I can answer your question. It was the war game of big countries, Vietnam was just a part of it. Capitalism vs Communism. Some communist ppl in our country said they were grateful with the help of USSR and China. They just helped themself...
@@nghuuvuhung wasnt this known also as proxy war?
Spikes Makers: "So how many spikes would you like?"
Vietcong: "Yes."
This is why the trap is so deadly 🕺🕺
The parts where the American soldiers were dancing while getting killed by a traps got me wheezing
So what happens to the traps that were never set off? Feel sorry for random people going through them.
If the Americans were not dancing during the Vietnam war they might have avoided all of those traps!
🤣😂 You nailed it. Jokes aside. We had to make them dance as TH-cam sometimes flag videos when people being shown are hurt.
I admire the U.S soldiers ability to get hit by one of these deadly traps, but then carry on dancing anyways
Арага шактыру жане улы жыланга шактыру кушти унады маган.
Now I faced same problem in my battle ground. From india
Can we just take a moment to recognize the American soldier who kept on dancing after being impaled by the spike board
Great video🔥
2:37 wait hold on let bro cook 🕺🏾 🔥
Mục đích quan trọng của bẫy, là chúng tôi cần một vài lính Mỹ gào rú khóc thét trong đau đớn, những kẻ còn lại sẽ mất phương hướng, lúc đó người Mỹ tự nhận mọi thứ là kẻ thù của họ.
Chỉ cần người dân thấy lính Mỹ hành quân lập tức cuộc hành quân ấy không còn bí mật nữa, và một lý do thần thánh nào đó tự bạn sẽ tìm đến bụi cây để tâm sự bằng tiếng Việt.
Chúng tôi có thể ở trong rừng nhiều năm quan sát lính Mỹ vô rừng một hoặc hai ngày rồi về, chúng tôi có thể ở dưới đất nhiều năm quan sát lính Mỹ đi tới đi lui
Người Mỹ có thể đánh chiếm một thành phố, một khu vực nhưng không thể giữ được bất cứ một ngôi làng nào cả, và ngôi làng chính là ngọn lửa thiêu rụi mọi thứ thuộc về Mỹ.
Chúng tôi nhận thức rất rõ nhân dân Mỹ là người yêu chuộng hòa bình không muốn chiến tranh, cũng giống như những người cha người mẹ Việt Nam rất yêu thương con của mình, chúng tôi vô cùng biết ơn những người dùng nhiều cách phản đối chiến tranh góp phần xây dựng tình hữu nghị Việt Nam và Mỹ hôm nay.
Chúng tôi còn nhiều thứ phải học hỏi
The paint job looks like they ran out of the special stealth paint and never finished painting the rest of the jet
2:39 pure chad right here
Those soldiers look crazy as hell
How effective would hauling a tire with a rope (with the rim) be with a battalion squad of soldiers. One guy has the tire strapped on his back and when they are in doubt of a specific grounded area, they roll the tire across unveiling any traps.
I wonder how many of these are still sitting there waiting to be tripped.
Viva Vietnam, standing up against oppression
@QUESTFORWINS I can pay for your ticket to leave a country with an "oppressive democracy" regime and live in a socialist country. BYE AND BE HAPPY!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 😎😎😎😎😎😎
@@NathanCaldas1990the South was more of a dictatorship than the North
There seems to be a common theme with the traps 🤔
Im taking notes... in-game ofc tho Mr. FBI Agent
That soldier in 2:14 is super lucky
That move is unreal
Best trap, hornets with a spike around when ennemy run
the slide closing trap is more what i would have called the venus trap.

Just picture you’re fighting a bunch of Jigsaw killers in the woods 🧩
But does it have spikes? 😆
Những cái bẫy này có ích trong chiến tranh nhưng làm cho rừng nhiệt đới ở Việt nam còn rất ít động vật hoang dã.
1 phần trap thì 8 phần do bomb Napalm, CBU-55, MK, Agent Orange. Con CBU -55 nó nổ thì trong phạm vi 16.000 m2 chả còn cái mẹ gì sống được nữa là đến động vật hoang dã, Agent Orange thì thôi không cần nói nữa.
Cám ơn lính Mỹ đã vượt chặng đường xa xôi để bảo vệ động vật hoang dã 😂😂😂.
