- A veteran of the war in Ukraine, Semin Yildiz talks about Russian tactics, drone warfare, the importance of proper military training and the difficulty of conditioning a soldier for the brutality of war. Continued support is crucial, says Semin, who would like to see the Archer artillery system delivered to Ukraine.
For clarification:
300 - code word for wounded military personel
200 - code word for KIA
Those are old code words from red army days, still used by russian and ukranian armies
Reason behind it the estimated weight in kg to transport bodies of either dead (+100 kg) or wounded (+200 kg due to 2 staff need to carry the wheelchair or stretchers), used for rough estimate during loading military transport aircrafts during the War in Afghanistan.
there is a new code 500 for "refuseniks" - those who ran away
So the guy at the beginning is saying 200 got 200’d. Nice lol
200 is not KIA, its LADA.
Funny thing about those code names is that Cargo 200/300 (rus. Груз 200/300) when pronounced in russian, in polish it sounds as "rubble" xD. Very fitting...
Meget kompetent og smart mann dette. En ekte Warfighter. Slike har vi i alle siviliserte land, tyrraniet har ingen sjans.. Takk Sverige, for støtten til Ukraina. Hilsen Norge. Slava Ukraini!
Skandinavien står enat emot den ryska aggressionen!
💛💙💜💙💛
Svenskar och skandinaver grundade i allmänhet vår första stat! Vi, ukrainare, har alltid varit stolta över detta faktum!💙🇸🇪💛 Vårt moderna vapen är en symbol för dessa människor!🇳🇴🇦🇽🇫🇴🇫🇮🇩🇰
Helt rätt. Vikingar!🇺🇦🇸🇪
Omåttligt baserat.
Svenska krigskungar har vänt i Ukraina och Turkiet, efter renässansen i Europa ( när det uppstått luckor andra stormakter som ex. Frankrike och när Turkarna varit upptagna på annat håll och när Ryssland plågats med inrikes problem ) men de har fan inte grundat Ukraina, dessutom behövs det ingen Stat som sträcker sig till Jesus tid för att ha rätt till självbestämmande. Ukraina fick senast självbestämmande efter Soviets fall ( något som Ryssland har skrivit på ) och det räcker juridiskt och folkrättsligt för att behålla ett territorium. Idag så har Ryssland skapat en majoritet som är pro Rus. i exempel Mariupol, men det är efter att 80 % av befolkningen har fördrivits. Mariupol är idag en stad av pensionärer och folk som är agnostiska och/eller samband med Ryssland, affärsmässigt eller Militärt. För att skapa en rättvis omröstning så måste Ryska Militären fördrivas så att Mariupol kan återbefolkas och SEN kan de rösta om de ska ha samarbete med Ryssland, eller en Rysk president i Ukraina etc. Att driva en omröstning 2 månader efter den största etniska rensningen sedan WW2 är ett skämt, även om röstningen är "demokratisk". Att fördriva den Ryska Militären har inget samband med Tysland, Sverige eller något enskilt land, det handlar i huvudsak om vapen ifrån USA och Ukrainska soldater med ca. 2 % blandning av utomstående och frivilliga och det har absolut inget samband med Svenska kungar ifrån 1600-talet och att påstå det är att spela med i Rysk propaganda.
Traditionsenligt så kommer ju även den Ukrainska flaggans färger från den Svenska då Karl XII tillsammans med kosakerna stred mot Ryssland och dess tyranniska Tsar Peter I "den vederväldiga"
You are missing the Icelandic flag 🇮🇸😉
I have always loved Swedish people. Thank you for helping out my country.
"you don't give in to tyrants," yes otherwise you are lost. Million thanks to all the volunteers for helping Ukrainians fight this war you are all a heroes!stay safe and God bless everyone! Slava Ukraine! Fight for freedom, peace and democracy!
One of the best documentary videos I've seen on volunteers.
Very clear, and well put with great opinions and insight. 10/10.
The intelligence, groundedness, bravery and moral clarity of this man is very impressive. If he's an example of what the soldiers of what the Swedish Armed Forces are like, we are certainly a well defended people. FOI, could we clone him?
As the young Swedish man said, he is of Nordic decent ( Viking ! )
He's turkish.
@@Lure-Benson Listen again. 11:59 He actually said he is obviously NOT of nordic descent.
@@ruslankazimov622 what made you an expert? I'm of Kurdish decent but my heart and mind is swedish aswell as my behavior and actions.
Who cares where he's from? He has the right attitude. 😎
Low bow to Semin. Probably the best video I’ve seen. One can see the trauma he endured in his eyes. Very good spokesman for Ukrainian struggle and aspirations. Wish you best success in your endeavors.
The most credible and interesting volunteer I've heard speak about the war.
Thanks for your help in defending my country.Ukraine will never forget your hard work and always waiting for you to visit as a good friend.
Tack så mycket för din hjälp! Du är vår hjälte Semin!
Ja verkligen!!
One of many heros fighting for Ukraine freedom thank you so much Viva Ukraine Viva Zelensky Viva the fighters of other countries fighting for Ukraine VIVA
Tack Semin för att du kämpat för friheten som samhällssystem!
Good to hear about this positive experiences with the Brits he's met out there. This guy is a true, unassuming hero. Intelligent, caring and tough. Wise and determined. I wish him well in life. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Excellent, great documentary! Incredible Swedish soldier: courage, moral, intelligence, very clear speech, impressive. Thank you for defending Ukraine, Western values of democracy, freedom and human rights.
Ukrainians will always remember your invaluable contribution to our struggle. It is very nice to have such friends. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. Tack för videon. Väldigt intressant. Ära åt Ukraina. Slava Ukraini. 💛💙
Big thank to you Semin. ur exactly what us nordics are about. got a very supportive mindset and really intelligent. Soldiers should have the highest pay in the world. u sacrifice ur life for fighting for ur country and democracy, freedom and good values. Thank you for everything u done for the ukrainians and for europe. much love from Denmark
demokrati får man aldrig ta för givet. Lätt att glömma när allt går sin gilla gång. finns alltid mörka krafter som vill ta över...måste lära av historien.
Tack för ditt stora arbete..och kloka ord..🇸🇪🇺🇦
Detta är verkligen en underbart bra redogörelse om situationen för soldaterna.
Ypperligt berättat!
Respekt!
Massive respect for all the Swedish people for your support! From Ukraine with love!
He's literally fighting for the tyrants, whose been the biggest tyrant since WW2? America not Russia, not china, not even north Korea
Nice,but he returned to Ukraine since.
We stand toghether
Wy are russia in ukraina? Out of ukraina so not war
Wrong, Sovjet the biggest tyrann after WW2: all countrys in former East was ruling by Sovjet. Now they want to be free. Hope Russia will be a democrasy one day, then the Russian normal people can feel freedom.@@testingmysoup5678
All respect to you Semin. Seem very articulate and intelligent. God demokratisk uppfostran från hemlandet...very good knowledge about actual war & logistics and consquences of battle.
Tackar!
@@seminyildiz683 you are a star, Yıldız!
Stolt over våre svenske broder og alle som kjemper så hardt for frihet og demokrati! 💛💙
Brave man. Thanks for your story, and for risking your life to defend Ukraine, and Europe.
Hjälte 💪 Vilken otrolig ryggrad och moralisk kompass.
Riktigt spännande video fastna direkt när man fötstog att det verkligen var någon som varit i ukraina och pratar om alla olika saker om kriget
Länge Leve Ukraina!
@Semin Yildiz Imponerande att höra dig berätta i saklig ton utan över- och underdrifter om det du varit med om, mycket respekt till dig för det du gör och har gjort! Stay safe!
Tack ska ni ha!
@@seminyildiz683 You are a very brave man Semin. I like the way you conduct your stories etc. From what l see on TH-cam Ukraine country side is very, very beautiful, as is the Ukrainian people, villagers etc. Very honest, simple statements, no bullshit. May God protect you, your family, your comrades.
@@seminyildiz683 Tack ! Du är en god ambassadör för Svenska frivilliga ( som kämpar i ett reguljärt krig, men absolut aldrig i ett oreguljärt krig/ terrorsyfte/ krig som går emot Svenska rikets lagar etc. )
Detta kunde ha blivit ett jättelångt inlägg, men jag hoppas att du känner stödet ändå. Dessutom har du säkert mycket att göra och uppskattar korta, konsisa inlägg.
Cudos bror, cudos.....
👍👍👍 för ditt bidrag och ett ❤️ för ditt engagemang.
Very well spoken, that's a grounded soldier ✌️🇮🇪
Tack för sin tjänst Semin Yildiz, för att du försvarar Ukraina och därmed hela Sveriges och Europas säkerhet.
Jag håller fullständigt med dina åsikter - Sverige bör göra mer för att stötta Ukraina. Så låt oss hoppas vår framtida regering nu kan ge Archer system till Ukraina.
Helt rätt. Precis min tanke!
Tack för en jättebra video! Vi är många som är utbildade och är redo att hjälpa till om situationen skulle bli värre. Fantastisk insats att hjälpa våra vänner i Ukraina! Stolt! 🇸🇪♥🇺🇦
Bra och intressant film igen Semin!
Thanks for helping us out, mate. We really appreciate it. Also great content, authors! Very entertaining especially while I’m recovering from my injury in the hospital. Fighting is really hard, but in direct CQB they suck. Artillery shelling - whole different story. They have a lot, they use it all the time. Most of my units losses are because of artillery.
I hope you´re all well now!
I'm happy this had English subtitles - a lot of superb wisdom in this interview. Thanks for that.
Huge respect from Norway❤. Thank you for your effort and sacrifices . Heja Sverige and Slava Ukraini ! 💛💙💪
Otroligt intressant! Semin är en klenod. Big up till honom!
Allt tack till dig för att du försvarar demokrati och fred i övriga europa. Tusen tack!
Stort tack Semin !!!!!! Klockrent ,sanningen måste fram.
Well spoken, concise, and such an observant guy! Thanks for the video
Very interesting to listen to such an intelligent man. No bravado or inflated ego just common sense and respect for his training and his comrades. So glad that there are people from so many countries stepping up to help Ukraine. It's very clear that Russia's neighbours know exactly what fate awaits Ukraine and then them, if Russia is allowed to win.
Du gör oss stolta att vara svenska. Du är ett föredöme. Var rädd om dig, Semin!
Mycket intressant och informativ video. Heder åt er som gör dessa insatser för Ukraina. Att Ryssland inte vinner där är enormt viktigt för oss i övriga Europa också.
Anders sanna ord
You are a hero!
I wish my country would do more. It's a disgrace how some people think about this conflict and even openly side with Russia.
We had pro russia demonstrations in Berlin, can you believe that?!
The first time since the napoleonic wars the Germans have the opportunity to be on the right side and at least 50% of them wamt to end all support for Ukraine and instead keep on buying cheap gas.
I never thaught that I say this, but in regarding the stance towards Ukraine I wish that Germany would be more like Britain or Poland...
Stay strong! For Ukraine and Europe!
If it’s as bad as you say, then the EU is finished
Germany will prevent Russia from loosing. Trump was right, Germany got dependent of Russian energy.
Unfortunately, it seems to me that your elite is awash in dirty Russian money. It took many years to buy gas from them and business naturally developed between both countries.
I'm happy that most of us in Germany are supporting Ukraine, but yes, we could do MORE.
Slava Ukraina!
@@fanfeck2844 mostly only in germnay as itz the country in eu that is the most dependet on russia poland for an example wont have that type of issue as this is the pay they must pay they got warned for yrs
Thanks!
Respect from Georgia!

Clear, calm, short and sharp! Dude means business. Bow down to the mighty viking army of Sweden! Thank you for your help to the Ukrainian cause!
Impressive. This man should be listened to!
Well done and said Semin, slava Ukraini and to the free world for which you fight,
à French who follows you and your comrades
Merci!
Bra mann, meget kompetent. Bra jobbet Sverige. Hilsen fra Norge
🇬🇧 🇺🇦 Great interview. 👍 Nothing to add, he said it all. Much respect to the international legions fighters and to all those others putting in the time and effort to see this through. Ukraine Stands through Merit. They have earned the support of the free world. Give them what they need to get these recent gains consolidated and reenforced over winter. This war needs finishing after spring. And that will depend on the capacity and ability to built and prepare over the winter. But while the clock is still turning, Ukraine cannot risk over extending due to a lack of modern supporting armour to anchor the line of advance. And that means durable and versatile battle tanks built to modern pattern specifications like, but not confined to, the Leopard. An international or an EU combined arms package with multiple variants of such tanks from the different backer Nations should be considered.
Thank you for your service, brave soldier. Thank you brave Sweden people for standing together with us. Your support helps us save the lives of our children and free our land. God bless you. With respect from Ukraine.
Jätte intressant vid. Tusen tack för det du gör Semin. Om fler tänkte som du skulle tyranner inte våga lyfta sina fula huvuden. Slava Ukraini och hälsningar från Finland.
Tack ska ni ha!

Hello from Kherson 🇺🇦You really good guys.I was in Sweden in 2020,awesome country. Now my town in occupation,we really need more weapons,especially heavy weapons.Anyway thanks to all adequate countries and ofcourse thanks to any volunteers

Congratulations on your liberation. I hope you are still well. Best wishes from Sweden
A big thanks to this guy, all the volunteers and the Ukrainian heroes. You saved Europe from WW3. 💙💛💙💛💙💛🇮🇪
🤦♂️
We're not there yet.
We have a Swedish idiom "Ropa inte 'Hej' förrän du är över bäcken" - "Don't call 'Hi' before you're (safely) over the creek".
That means if you see a friend on the other side of the creek (you're close to the end), don't take it for granted that you get to your friend, who perhaps didn't see you, because there's a chance that you will fall into the stream.
D'you get the picture?
Do not count your chickens before your eggs hatch as we say in rural America, we are far from out of the woods yet. We just had two more conflicts flare up in the former USSR, the Armenian v Azerbaijan wars latest round that could drag Azerbaijan ally NATO Turkey in and draw in Armenian allies Russia and NATO Greece, lately it seems Turkey and Greece have been spoiling for a fight and then we have the Tadzhiks and Kirghizia going at it which could pull in Kazakhstan on the side of the latter and Uzbekistan on the side of the former.

Ett riktigt stort tack!

Man blir imponerad och inspirerad av modet och klarsyntheten. Fler som honom!
I've seen another video where this brave soldier describes his experience in Ukraine. His descriptions are very illuminating and thoughtful. An obviously intelligent and capable individual. I'm very glad to see the Swedes joining NATO.
Well said! Welcome to NATO 🇸🇪 💪
We are not joining.

@@Noone35791 The new government will cancel the plans.
@@SlyJohn En "nobody" med stor käft.
Amazing video, thank you so much! Thank you to all the people helping Ukraine ✨
Allt du säger är rätt! Sverige borde sända mer vapen, vapensystem m.m till att hjälpa Ukraina men också verkligen pröva det i verkligheten. Civila system som ingenjörer, sjukvårdare, data ingenjörer mfl borde också åka dit för att få övning och erfarenhet SAMTIDIGT som de hjälper ukrainska befolkningen.
Tack John! Exakt så känner jag. Sen är det politiska en annan del jag tyvärr inte kan påverka så mycket som jag velat!
Sweden is a very dear country for us Brazilians. It's a friend country from which we bought the amazing Gripen fighters. Swedes never dissapoint and, as always, they're in the right side of History. Thank you for helping our Ukrainian brothers to defend their freedom and their motherland. Slava Ukraine! слава україні 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@Europe is better than the same that all countries who fight for freedom have.
Thank you brave Warrior for defending Ukraine against evil.
Very well put with good insights. Thank you. You're a true hero. This video should have more views.
Tak Semin fra din broder i Danmark
Tack!
Big Respect from Romania for this brave Veteran soldier!!!
Very nice, thanks for the work of so great fighters who fights and risk their lives for the liberty of others! All of us will be deeply indebted to all of you. ❤
Det är för sällan man känner stolthet över att vara svensk, det här är helt klart ett undantag. Imponerande!
Snyggt jobbat och väl talat Yildiz!
Kan inte hålla med mer om att de allra flesta officerare som jag träffat varit väldigt imponerande personer.
Helt rätt!
Thank you for helping us! 🇸🇪❤️
Thanks to Swedish warriors for support of Ukraine.
Tons of respect to you! Stay safe mate!
Jag hoppas verkligen att man tar tillvara på den kunskapen/erfarenheten de får, inom försvarsmakten!
Semin, du är en sann patriot. Tack.
Vilken välgjord video fler Ukraina avsnitt snälla 👍
Slava Sweden. Slava Ukraini. Excellent job with this.
Slava Ukraine !
I am so proud of Georgian soldiers.ukrainian soldiers were with us in abkazia.whats happening in Ukraine happend in Georgia 30 years before.same sadistic tactics towards civilian but back then world was silent. I am praying every morning and night for your victory and for them who were affected by this barbarians.
Like I told Georgians I fought with. Ukraine>Georgia>chechnya.
30 years ago the world was much smaller, the internet didn’t exist (at least not to the public) until 1993 and even in the western countries it took many years before a majority of people became familiar with it and began using it on a daily basis.
Today nothing can be kept secret, anyone with a mobile phone can take a picture or video and almost instantaneously post it on social medias. Satellites can “see” everything and even drones can document what is happening.
In wars like this that’s a good thing, and will be a big help in so many areas including solving war crimes and hopefully persecution of the perpetrators.
@@seminyildiz683 And yet, *people = people* in Ukraine, Georgia, and Chechnya.
@@seminyildiz683 hope you are good and safe 🙌

A great video! Thank you for sharing. God continue to be with the Ukrainian/foreign fighters and give them victory and peace soon. ✊🏽🙏🏽
Big thanks for supporting Ukraine!
Tack för videon!
In Ukraine, the Swedes were always treated with sympathy, because it was our only ally Mazepa and Karl 12, throughout our history. Before that, we were always alone in the struggle for independence until now.
That's true oleg. I hope for a different outcome this time!
🇸🇪🤝🇺🇦
Glad that times are different now. The issue now is "for how long" are countries willing/able to keep giving supplies. There is always limitations. Unfortunately I don't see this war ending amy time soon,
How can we not support a country with such an amazing taste in colours?
💙🇸🇪🇺🇦💛
At least Charles XII of Sweden did something right then. He's by historians otherwise considered the worst king Sweden has had. But ironically he's loved by Neo-nazis.
Very moving, heartfelt and to the point. He is so right - you cannot give in to tyrants. Slava Ukraini.
Respekt! Mycket inspirerande och väl sammansatt video!
Har en känsla att det kommer bli en del reaction videos på denna :)

Great interview, thanks for the good work over there
Great video. Thank you from the bottom of heart of all Urkainians 🇸🇪🇺🇦💛💙
Glory to Ukraine!
Very good video and commentary, very useful to understand what's going on. Thanks!
Every contributor to the resistance against russia is valuable.
As he also mention, not everyone is fit for the front, some may have experience in logistics or strategy, tho they have never carried a weapon.. if you have great logistics etc. behind you, it gets a whole lot easier to be at the front.
Anyway.. good to hear that the training efforts we've put into the UA forces is working. Good to hear that they've turned on a dime regarding how to handle their own heroes.. add to that, that the UA forces know exactly how the old-fashioned RU doctrine works; they can predict exactly what reactions to expect.
Now's the time to hand over the best equipment we can think of for this situation, the UA forces sure seem willing to learn, and there are now several bases open for UA forces to train in the free side of Europe.
I wouldn't mind if the equipment arrives before they're trained.. once they come back they can just pick a weapon and go whoop some russians.
He is in every sence a swedish soldier ( with impecable insight and a ' warrior code " straight out of " the book " ).
This can only come from " having boots on the ground ", as he so clearly stated " war is a dirty activity ".
Cudos to him and all who support Ucraine in every action ( from risking your own life/aid with arms, to send a turnique/field ration etc. in support to stop the invading "orch army" ).
Thank you!
What an incredible video . What a guy !!!!!
Thank you for your service and God bless you!
