🔴 Ukrainian Special Forces Assault Russian Position Despite Having Russian Hind Helicopter Overhead

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2022
- A video that surfaced on the Ukrainian Telegram Channel RAGNAROCK PRIVET shows a unit of alleged Ukrainian special forces assaulting a Russian position despite having a Russian Hind overhead.
The Telegram Channel does not give any specific background information about the footage and has not disclosed any location or involved unit so everything we can say about this video comes from the footage itself.
What we get from the video is that It seems that Ukrainian forces where in the offensive in this particular engagement advancing towards a previous spotted Russian position in a what appears to be a small forest or bigger treeline.
The men seem to be very well eqipped with suppressors and scopes on their AK type assault rifles and their overall behaviour looks very professional and organized.
They seem to have good communication during the engagement and make good use of concealment.
Even as a Russian Hind helicopter appeared they stayed focused and every men did his part.
At the end of the video you can see what appears to have been the decision to break contact but we can not confirm this for sure.

Lots of people here saying these soldiers are just wasting ammo. I think its the same people that see war as exciting but dont know anything about it besides people shooting at each other.
Theyre war experience is coming from call of duty
Yep, I am not pro-Ukranian, but this is a pretty normal conduction of warfare. If you can see the enemy, then either you, or him is in the wrong place. I even think that these guys were not in a good spot, thought it would explain it if they really were on the offensive.
@@Bullshlaha The technical term for this tactic is 'spray and pray', going back to the Vietnam war. It's not all that effective in terms of hitting the enemy, but it does tend to get them to retreat.
It's mostly kids get to know "war" from their video games.
It's the same people who have never even joined the boy or girl scouts
For those who says "what a waste of bullets" I really want to see you with a rifle there, trying to shoot back against that suppression fire. War is hell, and it's easy to judge from safe home.
Literally no incoming shots against these men.
@@classicstangs You heard of "suppressive fire" and what it is supposed to do?
Cos they supressed them
Um well You can do too who is stopping you anywhere is hell we all free to fight iam not judging you well Ukraine does need help fuck yeah i will go over there give myself ak47 whatever shit i put all on me i will die for them well you , you tell me ... I will bring my Mexican flag ... In my arms i will fight i dont care i die i do it for my three this country for Ukraine for America for Mexico evolution 🇲🇽💪 i sorry i just saying 😅 i will fight for Ukraine i will say give me ak47 please let go for Ukraine well thats me . i dont know you ? We all free to do it ?
Exactly every round they fire for suppression = one Russian soldier ducking his head and finding cover. If the suppressive fire is going by them even 10 yards away they will hear the crack and at that point you can’t tell if they are laying accurate fire and you definitely don’t want to stand there and find out. So you find cover and usually suppress back, suppressive fire can provide 0 incoming bullets from the enemy if suppressive fire is effective enough.
What is so hard for people to figure out it isn’t a waste of bullets, them suppressing through foliage, through concealment etc the bullets will continue to travel and become effective. I don’t think people realize how back and forth gun fights are. You have to take advantage of any second the enemy stops engaging with suppressive fire, forcing enemies in cover or while enemies are engaging “riskier” and does not usually provide effective suppressive fire if the enemies are suppressing first. Unless you are laying down direct fire at the enemies and by direct fire I mean accurate firing toward enemies persons. Like you said so easy for people to judge at their safe home but reality is grim and for them this isn’t a movie you have to take advantage of every situation if you stop engaging at a close distance from the enemy they won’t show mercy they will lay down heavy suppressive fire the only time they won’t is if logistically they are short on ammo supplies but they typically would wait for result before assaulting.
FYI I'm merely describing the effectiveness of suppressive fire there is many variables and situations that can lead to using suppressive fire it is by far not the most effective strategy in combat obviously, far range ordinance and armored vehicles provide more effective abilities than merely suppressive fire. Its entirely dependent on the AO and their objective in the AO, are they merely there to push the enemies back? Are they there to clear out an outpost? Many variables and suppressive fire is not always the best option but from the looks of the video its entirely impossible to determine whether their strategy was proving effective. Did they have logistical operation behind their frontline push? Was this really an Assault or perhaps a flank from enemy contact? Impossible to say but like I said I was merely describing the hypothetical abilities of effective suppressive fire.
This is what makes a firefight scary, you never see the enemy, and death comes in a millisecond.
Should be microsecond
or it doesn't come in a millisecond but you still get shot and just lay there, on the ground, bleeding out.... that imo is scarier
@@armoredlumberjack1999 Depends on your lunch.
which is the wrong way to fight thousand years ago.. people were facing each other with sword and shield thats real courge not fighting 100 km and hope to not get shot i dont take it away these men are brave but come on man if u compare it to the old way we fight like coward today

@@BirdsfromHuntingdon not quite, I think the first wave of people was here saying they were wasting bullets, then people who know at least a little bit about firefights came in and said no, not quite, then people started either replying to those comments said yeah, or other people saw the comments about people saying they aren’t wasting ammo and decided to throw in their 2 cents.

As a hunter I only need one shot. Or to put it the other way round: I only shoot when I am sure to hit the prey / the enemy.
@@Eddy-oe5oi War isn't the same. Deer or whatever your hunting does shoot back.
This is useless shooting. Dude was hitting the tree at one point.
This ain't call of duty my dude
@@Eddy-oe5oi cool Bro. But the Deer doesnt shoot at you
I was a Rifleman with excellent marksmanship, most of gunfire is suppressive fire, accurate suppressive fire can prevent a position from moving or returning fire usually while being flanked by an assault group, or a present from Arty.
11B Infantry here. We would have had a very complicated engagement here in this situation as its flat ground and lots of trees and shrubs for cover (unlike middle east landscape of rocks , hills and mountains). We had Pred Drones in the sky and the RPV controllers would radio the enemy position that is firing at us as we had zero visibility of where enemy fire was coming from ("native" fighters of the land knew their territory well to the point modern small arm weapons against them were useless). The Ukrainian SF did a good job here and surely using known textbook maneauver's but I cannot tell if they are moving away from direct fire as I can tell by this situation, they were fired upon by the Rus first and got caught and trying to change positions as the Rus have probably already communicated to send light armored vehicles and order direct fire to enemy troops. A copter was sent to validate the situation and set guessed coordinates of the Ukrainian SF movements. This is a modern war for both modern soldiers on both sides. I hope this ends soon and that Ukraine keeps its borders.
Real rifleman here 🥸 actually this is just a training exercise, practicing covering fire
If you listen closely, you hear cracking bullet sounds (like a whipping crack, different from the popping or blasting sounds) - this sound you can only hear if someone is shooting at you or at your direction. That means they are under fire at the moment, so returning the fire with a bit of urgency can be understood. For sure no waste of ammo or whatsoever!
People have no idea what suppression is. They were taking incoming but it wasn't very heavy or accurate.
Yes, this is usually what recorded firefights look like. It's all about fire superiority and pinning down the enemy.

People saying "wasting ammunition" lmao. These guys are shooting at enemy positions. In real war, you don't get the privilege of actually seeing your enemy like you do in games.
The problem is that we've seen so many action movies where the hero somehow manages to completely defeat a whole enemy platoon with just a couple of shots, all of them dead accurate.
They’re also losing. 🤡
@@denniseldridge2936 The 80s Action movies, where the hero gets up and runs while firing a machine gun at the badguys, and half a dozen trained badguys with cover are firing back at him using automatic fire... and the hero doesn't even get scratched.
Suppressing fire, my friends. Keep the badguy's heads down with automatic fire while your rifles advance on a flank.
You are right!
@@dmack5503 russian bot spotted
It is not a waste of ammo cause suppressing fire allows your troops to move with less possibility of being shot (cause you fire at enemy and it disallow him to spend enough time for a good shot) + if you fire in their direction there is always a chance of hitting someone. It's a war. Everyone is wasting as much ammo as possible in given circumstances, because own life is always more expensive
Agree!
Better, from you: shut up, I please you. What you really know about war, child? Greetings from 50 year old man, war veteran from war in Yugoslavia 1992... 😉

I saw a self-defense shooting breakdown once. Guy tried to rob a shop with a knife. It took 10+ bullets (hits) in about 3-4 minutes for him to drop on the floor. That's in a small shop, in very close quarters. Granted, the dude was probably high but still.

Probably not their first rodeo.

@@Bullshlaha Please elaborate. I'm having trouble finding solid reasons as for why these poor (in numerous meanings of the word) young Russian lads fight there aside from Putin's paranoia and megalomania, "everyone who opposes us is a fascist" propaganda, being threatened by their officers and enriching their families by looting civillian homes.
Far out, I can't imagine the fear of seeing a armed helicopter and having no weapon to take it out.
You have to lay there and pray they don't see you, otherwise you're dead.
Even with weapons to take him down, it does not always work, and if you miss, you become a target.
@@syc6598 If you shoot helicopter to missile it must retreat or next missile hit it. Helicopter is pretty easy target. You can shoot it anti tank weapons also.
Even more scary when the helicopter have infrared vision there is no way to hide. But my guess would be if it has infrared vision they must be flying higher to scope around for targets therefore its at a risk of catching an anti air missile but if its loitering at low altitude the infrared scopes wont be much of a treat if you stand very still, and its harder to shoot the helicopter down with anti air missiles.
that's why the CIA is smuggling stinger missiles into Ukraine to give them a better chance in situations like these.
@@ACorpseWithoutSoul If there is only one launcher, it takes time to reload it, meanwhile heli can turn and obliterate you with automatic 30mm fire or rockets.
i can't imagine how it feels... knowing that your performance can mean the result a whole battle, and also the lives of your colleagues.
Contrary to wasting ammo I'd actually argue that they are SAVING ammo. Or at least using what ammo they have very very effectively.
Almost no full automatic fire can be heard in the video and the soldier we are with only fires in single shot as supression. Why waste an entire mag when a few taps is enough to keep anyone's head down?
Yes sir, you're right, thanks for the explanation
@@Cleeon exactly anyone who has ever heard a bullet go past our head it doesn't matter if its 50 feet or 5 feet that whistle and crack is the only thing you think about and no amount of training can prepare you for that noise its like god ringing the door bell and saying hey you almost died
Well, I’d imagine one bullet shot in my general direction would keep me pinned.

It's funny, if you go into the archival records of WW2 the media was saying that the UK can't win against Hitler, but still they fought, and how did that turn out? Now the question is, are you willing to support an authoritarian, fascist anti-democratic oil company pretending to be a country who starts wars over control of gas fields or a democratic, sovereign state fighting an invader? If its the former, you are the enemy and you are evil.

A lot of people in the comments discussing "wasting ammo", this is what's called "Suppressing fire" and it's very effective because so long as you know the direction of your enemy and fire toward them, it applies pressure.
I'm surprised nobody knows this by now since there are plenty of videos on youtube about Afghanistan discussing this simple shit for over 2 decades now, albeit the Russo-Ukrainian war is a more conventional war between nations.
Also the fact they have suppressors, imagine you are a russian without suppressors,giving away your location with each shot,and in the meantime you hear bullets zipping by and hitting stuff around you,or you,and you don´t know where it´s coming from...suppressors are a big advantage in (urban) warfare. And i bet if they didn´t have those suppressors, the chopper would detect them alot more easily. (Fireflash)
@@Iredidv Fair point, but a lot is being learned from this war in changing modern tactics to go either way despite so much history.
Probably the most amazing video ever on TH-cam. There is nothing more real than this.
This is why squad automatic weapons are a huge asset in gaining the upper hand and overwhelming the target with suppressive fire

Crazy, They are not wasting Ammo that is a Real Fire Fight in the Woods... Scary.. I applaud the Ukrainian for being so Brave
As a British veteran, this clip looks like a "fire and maneuver" attack. What appears to be a waste of ammo is in fact suppressive fire designed to keep the enemy's heads down while a you move forward to contact using a "bounding" technique. They could also be laying down suppressive fire to support another platoon or section who may be outflanking the enemy position from the left or right, ( they could have just been dropped in by the helicopter ) usually sustained machine gun fire which sweeps in front of the flanking force is the best way to do this. The enemy can't react until they are being engaged at close quarters by gunfire, grenades, or a hairy arsed soldier with a bayonet. These Ukrainian's look very professional and tactically aware, I suspect they have had some very good instruction from one of the Western countries ( possibly British ) unlike the Russians who seem to cling to the spray and pray method. This is why the Ukrainian's will always win in a traditional battlefield situation and why the Russians ( who usually stand around like retards ) are essentially cannon fodder.
Good summary 👍
We can thank the Germans for these tactics as we directly copied them during ww2.
Lol
Problem is. The enemy KNOWS you're going to do suppressive fires then flank. A good leader would send teams to spread out and wait for it...if it's a dug in position they probably already have AP mines or some sort of boobie traps as well. This is why fighting in wooded areas is so dangerous. I'd honestly just call in Artillery
But for some reason, your beloved Ukronazis surrender and surrender cities and towns! And where are their victories? Don't tell?
Apparently some folks don't know the term fire superiority

They suprress the enemy, move and close on the target with precison fire. This was the work of professional soldiers, battle hardern solider
people have no idea what suppressive fire is anymore these days
I keep noticing in the comments that some people have been bringing up the fact that some people think that these soldiers are “wasting ammo”. Notice how the soldier in the video is fighting his AK in semi automatic? This is a clear indication that he’s firing his gun in that way in order to suppress the enemy through ‘suppressive firing’ instead of firing his weapon in fully automatic which would’ve be a clear indication of him wasting ammo. Besides, this is a war, and surprising a enemy force with suppressing fire can make the difference of staying alive.
They move well. I agree that they are likely a SOF unit. Their gear and training seem pretty tight.
It's probably another staged one sided fire fight just for the camera. Russia is really whooping up on the UKR fighters.

The point of 'wasting ammo' is to make the enemy duck into cover so that the soldiers can move forward to flank the enemy. It's a tactic to buy time for your brothers to move to the enemy position offering your life in the process.
Those are some good tactics. I'm actually surprised. They have definitely been trained. Suppressing fire and keep pushing forward well done 👍
Damn, I see many COD players here thinking they're professional in warfare
Omg, I really don’t know how often friendly fire is happening during that conditions…
man those rifles must require a lot of maintenance, cleaning, etc.
Eh, a little carbon isn't gonna stop an AK.
Their AK's, not AR's.... the maintenace will be in replacing those silencers as they only have a x-number of shots lifespan. That and perhaps re-zeroing their optics as the constant firing will likely have put them slightly out of zero.
That’s the old fashioned buddy set buddy move technique I love it
For the the idiots who think they're wasting ammo: it's called "suppressive fire" the purpose of suppressive fire isn't necessarily to hit your target (It'd be nice ofcourse if you did) but it's mostly just to make the enemie stay behind cover, to make em scared to fire back so they'll keep thier heads down and not shoot back and that means that the enemie is "suppressed" when an enemie is suppressed friendly soldiers can get closer to them because they can shoot back and eventually take them out. Source: I finished top of my class in military school.
Nobody said that
Well I think that Is not that necessary to finish military school to understand how suppressive Fire works lmaoo
@@giontesla2311 those call of duty veterans or some other "know it all" could think im saying random bullshit or tell me im wrong so yea
for the idiots who say exactly like 90% of the comments , like i think 1 guy said wasting ammo and for some reason 58023 people like you react with exactly the same explanation of suppressive fire .
@@RaneBane I think it was when the vid was newer when those comments were prevalent
Excellent use of cover. This is probably what the firefight was like in Vietnam.
"When reading first-hand accounts of modern
combat one will find that the moment in which one
side achieves operational dominance over the other
is often described in terms of sound: the force whose
roar of gunfire is drowning out its opponent’s
has almost certainly one the upper hand. In more
traditional terms, the force with the highest volume
of fire is more likely to dominate."
Wasting bullets? Nah, just a properly trained guys taking the initiative. Something that cannot be said of their opponents.
Aye, same with their artillery. Blow through your ammo and assume the best.
Yeah that heli drowned out the sound of Ak's.
Need more of these videos from both sides for historical references … history must be told regardless
Sometimes in videogames you feel the frustration of being shot but can't find your enemy, I can't imagine the nerves you need to have in real life for this same case
Heroes! I salute you from Israel. you are fighting for all of humanity.
Glory to Ukraine for protecting their families with such a braveness!!!

They are protecting the families whose members they killed in the past 8 years. Patriotism at it's finest...
SLAVA UKRAINI 💪
Incredible how quiet those suppressed rifles are.
Great suppression, communication, team bounding...that's how you perform a professional assault. The Russians probably didn't have a chance.
More frecuent atacks like this and the orks regret touching ukraine...
I wonder how a person with a normal brain (i mean not brainwashed) could even think a second that a third world country has chance to win against the second army on earth?
Keep it up warriors of Ukraine!
they are losing everywhere, but 'War Leaks' won't post the Russian videos. It's pathetic German propaganda
That’s a good suppressor holding up well
Kids nowadays: why aren’t they slide canceling?
People here saying waste of ammo. If you want to see how much ammo is wasted just look at basically every single combat footage video out there.
During the war in Iraq/Afghanistan the Bullet:Kill Ratio was 10,000:1
Meaning every 10,000 munitions used, 1 enemy combatant was killed.
I’m rooting for the freedom fighters. Slava Ukraine!🇺🇦
Death to Banderites
Keep up the brave fight boys, hope these heroes all make it back home safe.
People... they're not wasting ammo. They're establishing fire superiority.
Stay strong Ukrainian army 🥺
Puppets are never strong otherwise you can't attach strings to them.
@@MrMatijaaaa oooooo
@@MrMatijaaaa a country gets support so they're automatically puppets??
@@DoxxBoxx Ofcourse why else would someone be supported if they won't be an imperial puppet?
Nice kit, good training. But the only thing that really matters is how effective this operation was in accomplishing anything of any use.
No telling from this vid.
This unit appears to be very well trained and the men are very disciplined.
PRODUCED AT ALL JAZEERA STUDIOS... writen and directed by euro meta verso hahahhaha c-mon man!!!
Half expected to see someone step up there with a minigun and clear out that forest screaming "SERGEANT!!".
"Two Professional Armies"
*You mean ONE Professional Army?*

Yes, the russian army the only professional at this point.
Russian army has a lot of junk, but also some good units
@@jordirex7711 all armies have junk😉
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 from Thailand 🇹🇭 .
YOU SUPPORT NAZI'S.
Pov comments said people are complaining about wasted ammo now you are trying to find them
The bravery of these men is incredible. To be young again.

sorry for bad translation :(
I wonder how long those suppressors last
Probably a decent while if they’re not constantly rocking full auto
Most modern suppressor are good for around 30,000 rounds, as long as they don't constantly keep firing cyclic all the time they will last a while.
Wild seeing how much civilian accessible gear is being used overseas. All of these ak setups are common place in the US civilian market. I saw a vid of a group of guys running cz bren rifles with sig romeo5 optics. Good to see affordable yet quality gear seeing combat.
The Transcript is a magical thing.
Страшно. Как будто сам в этом участвуешь.
wojna jest straszna
@@aleksanderlenartowicz5659 согласен. Не дай Бог никому!
For those thinking this is just wasting ammo, the soldiers are firing where the enemy fire is coming from in order to suppress them. This is effective in long range combat.
This is effective in combat, period.
When someone's laying down single shot rounds in rapid succession, you know this dude been in the shit before...
