From WWII, there is a story asked of soldiers how they knew who they were facing: "If we shot and the return fire is machine gunfire, they're German. If the return fire is intermittent but extremely accurate, they're British. If there is a pause and then the response is artillery, bombers, and everything you can think of, they're American."
And if they heard nothing, then the screams of their soldiers around them, followed by nothing being around to think anything, it was was the Canadians.
Thats so bullshit its not even remotly close… nobody fought the british, americans and the germans simultaneously. By 1945 (when the americans had boots on the ground in europe) there was basically no friendly fire between the allies ( british/canadians/americans, they havent made contanct with the ussr forces obiously)
So in short, i would like to see your „source“ and i dont count „trust me bro“ as a source
@@MarcSherwoodsay that to Canadian, they'll beat the puck out of you! 💪🇨🇦
@@ironbomb6753 I had plaid diapers, and maple syrup in my baby bottle. We are kind, and say sorry until we either have skates on, or go to war. I've only experienced the first of those two, and it did not go over too well on my end.
@@MarcSherwood I have respect for my Canadian cousins, not saying you don't, or you're not. We are all in deep trouble under this marxist direction both our countries are heading.
US - "Are those your soldiers?"
Them- "Nope, not ours."
US- "Cool, we're going to get rid of them then."
Them- "Wait, what?"
"We assure you, there are no soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces near that area"
"Acknowledged... All units, cleared to engage. Fire at will"
Opps!
Yeah. That was Trump on the horn to the Kremlin.
@@Physhi Stop, something this minor and immediate does not go that far up the line. The local forces (Russian and American) had a direct line to each other's HQ.
@@bujtorm Hahaha, all those different systems just sitting around in random ass locations, and coming from every single direction, one type of weapon after another. This is why we only lost like 5,000 soldiers in over a decade of fighting in two different countries on two completely different continents. Whereas, Russia has already had coming up onto half a MILLION casualties in just TWO YEARS against the second-rate power of Ukraine with less than HALF the manpower of Russia!
the second phone call probably went "do you really want to do this again?"
Pretty much, I bet the Russian commander had a mental breakdown once his men told him about the first incident and quickly ordered the retreat.
"How many times do we need to teach you this lesson, old man?"
A simple "BOO !" would suffice I think.
@@flitsertheo worked for the Master Chief
@@flitsertheoSometimes flexing isn't enough. And you gotta throw some punches.

Russia clearly knew the oilfield base was staffed with Americans troops of some kind. They sent the Wagner mercenaries in to find out how the Americans might respond. The Russians learned what they wanted to know. The American troops would answer a threat quickly and with overwhelming force. The response was an intentional overkill. The cost of the lives of a few hundred Wagner mercenaries to learn the answer to the question would have been determined by the Russian military in advance to be acceptable.
@@noyopacific The American military is also just incredibly aggressive. From training to standing orders, if there's troops in contact and you're not stuck on a guard spot you go help. In early Iraq and Afghanistan commanders generally had to turn away help to prevent the battlefield from becoming too crowded. And if an American unit is genuinely in danger of being over run it all kicks into an even higher gear. The entire theater is at the disposal of that unit, even just a platoon of 60 guys. I saw that happen once and there were too many planes and helicopters to count coming in to help.
@@MortarMaggot I heard a story that a Taliban fighter had said that when they shot at US Marines they would run . . . but not away from the sound. Marines would run toward the sound of gunfire.
a loved after they wiped them out they called the russians back and said we confirm you have no troops in the area.
I love how everyone says America is all about oil. You know we protect your oil as well.
FOR REAL!
Like, all of Europe chortles about how America spends so much on the military and goes after oil...
Like they aren't all customer nations. Of both, military development and oil.
Look at Ukraine, where many European nations want to intervene but barely have a military to cover themselves, and zero production... Because America has been assumed to be the hammer of NATO this entire time
@@17gt350 we protect oil for the corporations and shareholders that pay no taxes and this is done by our military that is paid for by wage earners and then we are taxed to make up for the taxes they are not paying
@@MrMacky-co6zn The Military of the U.S and NATO also use that oil. It is a extremely important resource for the war machine.
All the bleeding hearts: No blood for oil!
Also bleeding hearts: Why is our gas so expensive??? Do something!
No oil, the world economy screeches to a halt. No tractors for farming, no ships to transport foodstuffs, no trucks to haul food to market... and food shortages kick in. Multiply this by every other part of the economy. Keeping oil flowing freely benefits everyone.
When the US military basically says "Please don't make me kill you." it's not a display of weakness, it's a promise wrapped in a logistics request. Someone has to hump in more ammo afterwards, and do the recovery/forensics.
It's likely closer to "Please don't make me write an after-action report, I hate doing paperwork in the field."
So true.
😂😂😂 probably the best comment!
@markholtdorf56 Foolish comment. In modern combat the US starts w/1 hand behind its back, meaning anyone we face has no compunction against civilian casualties or other collateral damage. We take it seriously. Take those gloves off and any enemy is toast.
Put another way, other than nuclear war, in conventional warfare w/the gloves off, would you bet on China or Russia over America? If so, I'm happy to take your money
@@MJ19438 I live within ear shot of dozens of nuke bunkers here in Montana. Im confident enough that Russia, China, NK have sold off enough copper wiring and other precious metals that getting one out of its launcher would in itself be a miracle. Just the maintenance on the doors that open and close is staggering if parts have been pilfered or used non milspec parts. Nukes dont just sit there waiting to be launched, the core has to be replaced constantly to ensure a nuclear detonation. We see that often when they transport these materials because they roll down 10th Ave in a military convoy with air cover as well.
Im more worried about the Quisling MAGAts placed in these locations.
@@AquaTeenHungerForce_4_Life Amen
Imagine getting a medal for running away
*for BEING ABLE TO run away
😂😂
I don’t blame the guys for running whatsoever, in their shoes I would run too if we had all that air support & artillery raining down on us but the medal is absolutely mental
they didn't get a medal for running, they got a medal for just surviving.
Participation reward
Prigozhin opened up about this later, apparently Shoigu left Wagner high and dry that day after promising air support and later rubbed his nose in it when they met in Moscow. They then went on to have a very famous public feud.
They ended up doing the same thing all over again in Ukraine, Prigozhin went public about it, and Putin ended up shooting down his plane to shut him up.
Who opened up this later ? Me? And zhin aww
What a cartoon
Would have been more target practice lol
SHOIGUUUUU
USA: Do you have any troops on the field?
Russia: No, we do not.
USA minutes later: It has been confirmed, you do not have any troops there at this time.
For a soldier, it is an honor to die for your country. As an American soldier, It is an honor to help you achieve your goals!
No one ever won a war by dying for his country.
General George Patton.
There's no honor for American soldiers, just being a war criminal.
And choir says amen!!!
That just brought back memories. Went to Marine Corp boot camp at Paris Island 1977. I remember we were in a school circle watching videos of world war 2 of the Japanese banzai charges. My senior drill instructor was telling us how it was every Marines duty to help our enemies die for their country.
The version I heard from a colleague confirms the phone call to the Russians before the engagement began when the Russians assured the American commander that there were no Russian troops in the area. I understand that to have been common at this time to avoid direct conflict. However, I was told on good authority that there was a phone call after the conclusion of the engagement from the Americans to the Russians in which the Americans simply said “We confirm. No Russian troops in the area.”
That is some WWII level of cold hearted badassery lol, think I'm going to have to read more about that one
That is badass, when was this attack?
Not anymore...
Not no more, they're not.
Thats savage and I love it. FAFO
Yankee here, feeling flattered by the respect you've shown to our military. That respect goes both ways- I'm honored to count the Royal Marines as our allies. Your name is said with reverence here, and I know you can get the job done.
Of course, I would always prefer peace, trade, and diplomacy over any military action, but leaders don't feel the cost of war the same way the people do, and sometimes leaders need to be reminded that open dialogue is better than open fire. NATO is capable of delivering this message.

Explain why Syria can't access it's own oil field then?
Why is it transferred to Turkey and then to U.S.
They might shield themselves with some bs accords that maybe were respected back then, but now it's just outright theft with no shame.
Nothing like losing 200 of your friends and getting a participation trophy.
And that medal? It's the "before" picture. The "after" picture from about 10 seconds later shows that same Russian soldier, lying on the ground while his uniform catches fire from those flames that are surrounding him!
Much respect Luke! As a U.S. Marine myself the SDF are Kurdish, so close US allies. Have Kurdish friends I still talk to just across the Syrian border in Iraq. Messed up that we left them to deal with ISIS but thankfully we came back (2014ish). I was in Iraq before then. Thankfully ISIS is mostly deleted from this Earth (Taliban is in Afghan)
SO YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE ASSHOLE US MARINES WHO FLED IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN . I SAW IT SITTING OUT HERE IN INDIA IN 1990'S AND IN 2002.

Wow civilian to cornhole 1 hour. Language.
Even some terrorists. There's a lot of times where they're innocent but forced by having their family threatened or something of the sorts. Not all terrorists ofc, just some.
The amount of firepower the US threw at that convoy is staggering. The artillery alone, plus 4 Apaches, plus at least 1 AC-130 gunship, plus Reapers, plus F-15s and F-22s as well as B-52s.
This isn't delivering a message, it's shooting the message attached to a flaming arrow through the open window of the Kremlin and having it stick in the chest of the military advisor that said this was a good idea.
Probably some cruise missiles for good measure.

From one of those 'damn Yanks', LOL, thanks for posting this. We're honored to be an ally to the good people of the UK. Oh, and thanks for YOUR service as a Royal Marine.
At the Apache Helicopter part: at your pause screen there, you can see the dust from the artillery / drone stikes still in the air…at the same time, you can see the oil rig STILL FALLING OVER!!!!
If it’s where he paused it when the Apache was firing off into the distant tree line during the daytime that’s not footage from this incident. This incident took place during nighttime and that’s def not how Syria looks. Unless I’m mistaken about which footage you’re referring to, in that case I apologize
One rig is nothing.. there would be a whole field of them likely.
6:20 definitely looks like Ft. Carson.
Oil in some country ?? Smells like that country needs freedom

@hutomomahardima6288 Wow. I had no idea that Vietnam and South Korea had so much oil. So that is why the United States got involved.🙄
Damn, that made me laugh out loud sitting here in my house. Seriously. I imagine hearing it in George Bush's voice (the stupid one, not the one that ran the CIA).
@@Matthew-AnthonyDude. Your mistake is thinking that America needs them to actually HAVE oil. As long as someone we trust, like Henry Kissinger, tells us there is oil there... well that's enough to go share some freedom with them!
And the reason we STAYED there so long...? Well maybe if we keep looking we'll find some, Henry wouldn't like to us, would he?
As the US military would say, they met an unknown threat with proportional force. I suppose proportional is somewhat relative.
It seems pretty proportional to me. They used 1% of their forces, the US used 1% of ITS forces.
Our version of "proportional". Ask Iran's navy in the late 80s.
@@cdyfoltz1Wait Iran had a navy? Just looked at their numbers, looks to me like they are still recovering.
3 old Kilo's (Diesel electric)
3 corvette's
7 frigates
and a bunch of patrol boats.
@@captin3149 nah bro that was more like .01% that he US used.
I do believe the integer is known as "P" for "Plenty"
Like Data said in an SNG episode, "they may not offer you a target, they can obliterate you from orbit and you will have never seen the faces of your killers"
"America is on the phone. "
"Turn around."
the medals that were given to the Wagner troops afterwards were literally made just for those who survived the ambush, not for them protecting their comrades, not for assisting against the attack or whatever, it was literally for just running in the opposite direction as fast as they could and hoping they didnt get hit by a 20mm round lol
You get a medal just for hiding well enough not to get killed when you're in battle against US forces.
Conoco is an American owned oil company.
yeah, they're protecting their own.. dont make it sound like they're after everyones oil!!

Kudos on being a British Royal Marine. That's badass bro! Navy Sailor & USAF Staff Sergeant.
people forget that the American military steam rolled the entire Iraq defense force in 2003 in just 5 weeks. and that was before we had our UAV fleets. As a veteran myself i'd wager the US military could do it in 4 weeks or less to most other countries around the world.
Ahahah, your mercenaries are being ground in packs in Ukraine, along with your equipment! And also good luck to you in Taiwan!
Half of their navy was sank over night
@@BeshenyyaLapshechka *the rednecks and US surplus last generation weapons from Afghanistan are currently holding a self proclaimed superpower at bay for over a year. sorry had to correct that for you
As a veteran myself, I'd say you're pretty clueless.
@@shlug I hate to say bro but I think we all know what happened in Iraq and how steamrolled they got and if how fucked everything actually was in the end
When Rus vs Ukr kicked off, there was a massive Rus convoy of tanks and support, I think I heard 65miles long. Imagine how hard the A10 and Apache pilots would've been if the US was "officially" over there.
It'd require a bit more than just the A-10 and Apache. We'd need air superiority (As both aircraft are pretty vulnerable, especially with the A-10 being slow..), and the convoy likely had enough anti-air missiles to make it difficult for either of the two aircraft to operate. Now... if we did have the proper scenario to use these aircraft effectively... LOL
(Also, no hate on the A-10, it's my favorite plane in the U.S arsenal. But, I'll admit it's slow and that's a pretty big weakness to it. Even with the insane amount of firepower is can withstand.)
@@demonman1234 If you remember, the Russians didn't nor still don't have air superiority. That has been one of the biggest surprises and questions that are still ongoing.
@@stischer47 Ngl I haven’t been following the situation anymore, so I actually didn’t know this.
@@demonman1234mmhmm, it's been very interesting. I believe I heard that Russia was doing a very low amount of sorties compared to their air force size...I want to say it was something to do with maintenance and lack of parts. They just cant keep operational readiness as high as needed and the planes basically leave on mission as soon as they're fixed and combat-ready. Then you hear news reports of a single fighter attacking and missing the target 😂
@@joecee6862 LOL yeah idk I haven’t been keeping up with any war recently
To our Royal Marine, America knows we are not alone. We have Great Britain as one of our allies.
I'm sure they enjoy no longer fighting us
@@happilyenraged713 And the feeling is the same for America
Leave it to the American urge to always go for the overkill.
They hammered them with so much firepower that some sections of the ground were GLASSED!!!

I don't know if you have seen any videos from The Fat Electrician, but he does some great American war history videos. He's a great story teller and as a Vet you'll probably get even more of a kick out of them. Have a good one.
Don't touch American boats. We will be proportional in our response
@@bgjones973 Easily his best video. THe Hoothis are currently fucking around and really finding out, sadly any hesitation AMerica has for effectivness is always the fault of higher ups and politicians, but let the military off the chain and you'll see why we're the best.
Yes, The 'Fat Electrician' ... 👍😎
My Son sent me some of those videos... Was really good. The casual humor of the American military 🪖🎖️ and the complete understanding of the US citizen how things go down is a great relationship between the military and civilian population
@@TheZamaronagreed. I love the fact that Gen. Schwarzkopf planned the onset of Desert Storm to be so fierce that it would be done before politicians could get involved.
Yep he's one of my regular stops in my TH-cam cruises.
They were totally warned. When the US commander said they would face the full force of the US Military that was the warning that the gloves are off.
I have three words for anyone who squares up to the American Military: "God Help You"
that only applies if the military is left to do its job without the shackles of fat politicians back home. Soon as they get a say we end up like Benghazi or Afgh retreat

Definition of "Fuck around and find out"
We take that whole "Don't Tread," thing pretty seriously...
As a former Navy aviator, I flew an F14A and B model in the 80's. Many times our battle group would have the soviet air force come out with two Migs and a backfire bomber. We'd lock up the Migs, Master Arm off then the alarms and lights would go off in their cockpits. Next thing they turned and my wingman and I escorted then out. Later during shore leave I met a Soviet officer there. He was nice and pleasant but along the way, his tone changed and said "you damn Americans invent everything for your military", to which I said to him, if we invert and build it, it's because of his country's style of aggression. He nodded his head and replied, Da (yes) but told me they never thought America was going to build and build and build so many weapons. Like you said, anyone picking a fight with America is sure to regret it.
Love from the USA
One thing about the US is that if we have to defend ourselves, you’re gonna find out what kinda stuff we normally keep on the shelf.
Another thing about the US is that we try really, REALLY hard to do our "defending" in YOUR backyard, not ours!
That's not a dig, that's our actual policy. It's freakin' genius... if you have the gear, the bases, the intel and the tech to pull it off. And we do.
@@markpukey8Yeah, after World War 2, the US really pushed making the world its backyard. It makes sense. Your populace will stay a little bit more upbeat if the war is not on their front door.
"So what we have learned here is that the Americans have ABSOLUTELY NO CHILL!!"
11:00 this is what we mean when we say, *_"We will rain down hellfire on you."_*
Well, they came for the oil and they paid for it 😂
Everyone but the Syrians "came" for the oil. This story is as old as time. When you get in the way of the British, or American access to someone else's resources, trouble will kick off. 1950's Iran history shows this.
@@MarcSherwood Except 52% of American oil imports come form Canada, and another 11% from Mexico. We don't need Arabian oil and we never took it, and let Iraq sell it to whoever. This whole oil stealing is all nonsense. It's amazing what a bit of reading can do.
@@amireplays3571 thanks for pointing that out. i hate all the dumbasses who think we invaded iraq for their oil. they have no idea that we stopped being dependent on arabic oil decades ago after the oil shortage of the 70s, and have been importing most of our oil from north america (canada) and from south america (brazil, etc).
I passed the ASVAB test everyone! Can’t wait to go to the Coast Guard! Also this video was very enjoyable.
I think the odds of a drug cartel smuggling ship shooting you are higher than if you serve in the Middle East. Just something to think about.
I have to think that tank and APC that survived was intentional. I mean, they accurately targeted everything else. The next day we probably towed them out and sent them back for study. After all when you have the opportunely, it's always nice to grab and see what equipment the opposition has.
Someone from the 24th Special Tactics Squadron was awarded an Air Defense Medal for how much he kicked a** that day.
“Never give a sucker an even break” …an American expression
Never get between an American and an oil field. It's like trying to take a steak away from a hungry dog.
And this dog has Apache and Artillery support.
If they'd let us exploit our own oil fields, we probably wouldn't need the oil from the middle east, or at least not near as much of it
Yep. We like oil.
@@corbinhbucknerjr558 Yes we do. Heck, this morning, was making the wife a breakfast sandwich. Went to grab a bottle of olive oil, it fell, busted, all over the counter top and floor. Major OIL spill. She ran got the shotgun, sidearm and a couple of claymores to deploy and had the nerve to b1tch because the drone's battery was dead.
A worn-out trope that never really holds up to reality. Ho-hum.
1:52 I believe the reason is that this field was attacked already like a week before, and since it was in the US allied area of Syria they sent in SoF to try and dissuade more attacks. It seems the Russians knew this but didn't expect the massive response by the US, and so they sent another attack to dislodge the oilfield. I think the Russians thought the US was just bluffing, and got caught out for that false assumption.
Never good to call the bluff of a major super power.
@@tek87 @cheeseninja1115 The responce was a simple message, it was't proportional but increadably overwhelming to send a simple message to RUS.

Two American items you don't ever mess with unless you wanna see the sun. Oil and our boats. Especially our boats...
I’m so happy this channel popped up to my attention again. Love this!
Most people fight wars, America plays factorio.
Brit: “Whoa, that’s a lot of gear”
US: we don’t do “under-kill”
The Russians think sending in massive amounts of infantry and damn the enorous casualties is the way to do it
Different theories.
Well uncle sam used this situation as an opportunity to send a statement to Russia and everyone else at the time that attacking a u.s base would be met with swift and extreme prejudice. That's why all of those assets were used for the engagement definitely more than what was actually necessary.

Wagner group is globally known as Putin's privet personal military. As in, they don't so much as fart without his express permission.
Like, with Ukraine, when Russia was streaming in children and conscripts, the only ones on the field with any skill, weapons and training were his men. Which incidentally makes what happened recently REALLY interesting
America: Empty Payload...
Wagner: ITS JUST A PRANK BRO!
“That’s a lot of gear to be over there” Us Generals “that’s only 5 percent of .0005 percent of what we wanted to send”
When the us air force turns up, you quickly realise that everything is just concealment
I like how the censor sound is the A-10 gun sound
I seen this video b4 and that 2nd phone call to Russian officials went something like "you were right, there are no Russian soldiers attacking our base"
Idk if this is true or not, but it was rumored that US commander called the wagner group back and said, you are right, there are not Russian forces here.
I literally just came across your page about a day ago and I'm loving it, I love your reactions on all of the videos.
There were grunts at the Conoco refinery. They were in place just in-case there was an actual attack on the facility. And yes, when we (America) want to make a point, we tend to do it very well.
They may have been there since ISIS funded themselves through oil profits. It makes sense US and allied forces were there to prevent that from happening.
Trump was in command at that time. Killing ISIS.
Thank you for continuing to make videos Luke! I was in highschool when I found you and now in about to finish college. Always brighten my day man.
As one Army Colonel put it, “The United States Military has perfected the art of turning human beings into hair, teeth, and eyeballs.”
Hair and teeth could recognisably survive but eyeballs, never.
I like The Fat Electrician's usage of "bologna mist." I think that is the most descriptive & applicably descriptive phrasing imaginable.
Hello sir, and thank you for your service.
This is by far my favorite video on the event that occurred in 2018, thank you for covering it!
“Every once in a while ,the lion has to show the jackals who he truly is”
It was a CONOCO PHILLIPS OIL TERMINAL and SOCOM was tasked with its protection.
No such thing as overkill, it’s a mythological challenge.
I love that medal, as the imagery is just so on-point. Anybody who find themself trying to shoot down an Apache with small arms needs to reconsider their life choices, as that is beyond stupid.
It was at night and I doubt the Russians had night vision equipment. An Apache can see a human from a mile away at night and hit him with its 30mm grenades and effectively hit him from about 3/4 of a mile away. They wouldn't be shooting at the Apache, they would just be giving away their position via thermals with their muzzle flashes from firing in the air in some random direction.
There's a story going around that there was a U.S soldier injured in that battle. He fell off a watchtower because he was laughing his ass off so hard.
one of my buds in my unit has a brother who flies A-10s. he got to put a few warheads on foreheads during this skirmish. Said it was the most impressive display of America beating the shit out of an inferior force. He said US forces used every aircraft in the area and they just started dropping every piece of ordinance that they carried.
I love watching people reacting to American military videos it makes me realize how much we have and how quick we could take over some countries
“Some” 😂

LMAO!!!
8:11 love how the censoring is the 30mm on the A-10
Reminds me of a video I saw recorded in either Afghanistan or Iraq. A sniper was taking shots at American soldiers from a hill. So, the officer in charge made a call and F-35s blew up the hill. He said “That’ll teach ‘em to shoot at my men.”
"Can you confirm the origins of the incoming fire?"
"Affirmative, somewhere on hill 457"
"Roger, removing hill 457."
@@mfree80286 It's the simple things. like using a welding torch to loosen a bolt.
Goddamn.
Rome built its empire on the fact that if you harmed one Roman centurion or citizen, then the retribution would destroy your entire village. US operates on the same principle.
@@TheChromeRonin except for our current administration......just ask the Marines at Hamid Karzai International Airport Kabul, this administration and the Pentagon couldn't get the address of the terrorists and those responsible right. On top of that our troops were ordered to give up their weaponry to the Taliban when we bugged out. Utterly Shameful.
This warmed the heart of an old "Automatic Eighth" Redleg.
"On Time".
It wasn't special forces. It was elements of the 11th MEU and Navy Seabees building defensive positions to defend the oil fields.
That was the biggest part of it. USMC 155s and HIMARS did most of the damage.
Believe it or not. The American military is also there for our allies including our friends in the UK. The USA will unleash hell if our friends and allies get attacked. Great reaction.
At least the American PEOPLE feel that way. Our leaders are leaving Israel to flap in the wind right now though. 😡
I just watched your last video and searched to see if you reacted to this. Thanks, great timing
Edit: I've been a watcher for a while thanks for the entertainment and good luck with your family. Don't acknowledge the haters
When they said, "Support Groups ". I think three letter Groups. That's the reason for the overwhelming fire power
While they may have been there, what is being referred to as support groups here are mechanics, supply, and communication personnel.
I think Russia knew what was going to happen to them but didn't want to waste any more manpower to get them out
8:22. A C-130 circling your position must look like a vulture circling a carcass 😂
Love from India 🇮🇳
"Drones are terrifying" is borderline hilarious when I already know that they called in AC130s on this. That plane is called the "Anger of DEATH". We named the drones Reaper ourselves, that's our pompous and self-agrandising name choice, the AC130 earned its title on the battlefield. These are not the same.
pretty sure that doesn't exclude drones from being terrifying still, being deleted by someone 5 miles away sitting in an air conditioned room while they are sipping on their coffee would be pretty terrifying if you were the enemy
@@TRiX2626 It can be more like 5000 miles, but that's besides the point. While the drones are indeed scary they are also the least of their problems in this scenario
4 modern Apaches can destroy 64 vehicles in under 3 minutes from 5 miles away. A Russian BTG has 50 armored vehicles. It's 8 guys vs 200 infantry and the 8 guys have better odds of winning.
To be fair while the Reaper was given its name, not earned it - it has definitely lived up to it. Those things are horrifyingly effective.
First time I became aware of the AC-130's capabilities was watching it in action in the first Transformers movie, those films enamored me to the beauty of the US military and not only entertained me, but actually informed me on some US tactics. For example TF1 and the AC-130 in action here's the scene.

Troops are underattack by the Decepticon SKroponok and as he's layign down fire on them they establish ontact with the Pentagon linking the call through an AWAC like a mobil command center.
Reaper drones establish visual contact, don't know what the hostile is but seeing the threat level deploy everything they can, A-10 Warthogs begin strafing the Con with bullets and missles after soldiers set laser guidance on it. When that doesn't work the beautiful AC-130 shows up using specific ordinance the troops requested and just begin laying into the Con, when the smoke clears it doesn't kill him but is enough to make him retreat, plus plenty of other cool scenes and use of the military, being a Transformers fan I've only coem to love the F-22 Raptor and F-15 Eagle even more recently after learnign just how capable they are as soem of the best fighters in the modern age, veyr fitting alt modes for the Decepticon Air Commander Starscream. Overall do not fuck with America, whether you're Nazis, North Koreans, Vietkong, Jihadis, Russians, or giant even alien robots. DON'T FUCK WITH AMERICA!!!!!!
One reason American airpower is so effective is they can see and strike from farther away than any other country . Accurate to centimeters .
Props to the air controller. All those levels of air assets and different altitudes…. That’s a tough job and some of the longest training in the military.
Russian Air Force asked to take off... I think it's much more likely they saw the F-22's in play and decided to have mechanical malfunctions that day.
An example of what's frequently overlooked, keeping your forces out of harm's way. If Russia had simply answered honestly, they would likely not have been subjected to death from above.
If they had retreated, such as the 2nd time.
