BF1 atmosphere.. eat your heart out

BF1PlayersR_Bad

They’re on the Russian side so they’re bound to be pushed back.


Novel-Confection-356

Wishful thinking. Russians seem to be overwhelming Ukraine.


Mientuch

Those are good Warriors , politics aside


nav17

Ah yes good warriors. Who routinely abandon their own, or execute their own, or even run over their own in a panic when retreating. Plenty of those clips on this sub.


Shot_Painting_8191

So running in a straight line makes one a "good warrior"? Or how do experts like you decide such things?


MaxJacks17

That’s like saying “the SS were great warriors, politics aside.” It doesn’t really work like that. They are there to invade and conquer. They are disrupting the lives and destroying the homes and livelihoods of countless innocent civilians who didn’t deserve it. They are killing, torturing and destroying their neighbours and their land. The true warriors are those who took up arms to defend their families, homeland and people of Ukraine.


baloncestosandler

Are they having fun dnd adrenaline doing this ?


Ironskull18

BF7 better have this atmosphere.


EuphoricAnalCarrot

I'm not confident dice/ea will ever put out another good battlefield game. All of the people that made the good ones are long gone


Herr-Pyxxel

I got distinct Fallout 4 vibes


AstronautSoupChef

That's definitely covering fire and not directed at them.


Mositesophagus

Even so I’m still like this 💢⭕️💢⭕️💢⭕️💢⭕️


LibidinousJoe

What a beautiful picture you’ve painted


BigBowser14

I'm literally like this on the toilet watching this vid. Chicken takeaway last night 😬


passwordusernamemail

However explosions are behind them and at the end of video one of them screams "there is a gunfire on us"


canaal-generaal

I’m pretty sure they say “cease fire, we’re inside” in the end of the video.


gday321

I’d tend to agree with this theory, when you hear that non-stop regular pattern of gunfire it’s generally for this reason (or an ambush), whereas when you’re shooting specifically at something you tend to stop when it’s either dead or disappears. It would be more sporadic I rekn


Fit-Guide8559

For ambushes you’re supposed to go cyclic for a full minute, this is simply suppressive fire and talking guns


gday321

I’ve heard some pretty poo ambushes too though lol. But yeah I wasn’t trying to say this video was an ambush just saying they sound different to a normal firefight.


netherbound7

After watching it, I thought the same thing. Sounded like covering fire for the next shift. But idk.


seabreezzyy

This looks just like the later Vietnam scenes in Full Metal Jacket. This is insane.


oblivion_bound

My thoughts too, in Hué City.


Gloorplz

Hardcore man, fucking hardcore.


aznexile602

Pretty cool video.. sounds like a pretty wide contact zone. Gotta pucker up your butt hole when making a long dash put in the open.


John_E_Vegas

That's the part I don't get. There was plenty of cover between the two positions, and I seem to recall that the idea drilled in basic training was that it only takes about 3 seconds to sight, acquire and fire on a target, so you are supposed to make 2-second, short dashes. Perhaps that's only under direct fire and they knew they weren't under direct fire until they got closer?


Fit-Guide8559

That’s called IMT and is a general guideline. You’re obviously not gonna be doing up down drills in an urban environment like that lmao


guilhermefdias

Literal sounding hell. Jeeez. And here I am on my pijamas drinking hot chocolate listening to some psy trance while looking at moon outside.


MentallyUnstableW

So real, I’m over here eating steak and enjoying my comfy air conditioned house and cat

Wild to think they're looking at the same moon 😕


Dexember69

drLobes

Psy trance works darn well with footage from this war!


porn0f1sh

Honestly it works good with everything


Dimahagever8112

more like darkpsy, am i right?


Individual-Home2507

And these Russians will pass away in Ukraine as invaders


bananna_bonanza

What is Psy trance?


Kylar_Stern

Psychedelic Trance, it is a sub-genre of Trance, which is a type of electronic music. Astrix and Shpongle are two artists who make psy trance music that I know of. Edit: Also Infected Mushroom and Astral Projection


bananna_bonanza

Any recommendations?


Kylar_Stern

Astrix, Shpongle, Infected Mushroom, Astral Projection


JournalistLonely3472

Astral projection is also an very interesting thing to experience.


_zenith

Shpongle is a good intro


porn0f1sh

Not really trance though. Simon Posford/Hallucinogen and Raja Ram separately though do trance


dschull

Blastoyz and Vini Vici are great - look up Ozora Festival and Boom Festival


explicit17

Imagine doing this only for some tails about great leader putin and aggressive west they told you on tv


GoodLuckSanctuary

I’ve gotten far better information from Reddit than anywhere else


bisoy84

Yeah man, comments are the real champs!


Hot-Lunch6270

Yeah. X/Twitter is full of misinformation. Uninformed People got easily deceived there rather than here.


Hdikfmpw

You should listen to malcontent news Russia-Ukraine war update podcast.


jisooya1432

It will be downvoted, but its important for geolocation and once again confirms the fact the Russians at the aggregate plant is encircled if Ukraine is this far north. [Happens right here, google maps link](https://www.google.com/maps/place/50%C2%B017'48.0%22N+36%C2%B056'06.7%22E/@50.2966994,36.9342269,421m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d50.2966515!4d36.9351937?entry=ttu) Geolocated by [https://x.com/moklasen/status/1807176914710503741](https://x.com/moklasen/status/1807176914710503741) Source is a random vk channel


Th3Albtraum

Channel I've been watching has been saying Ukraine has been holding the apartment complex this whole time given its central location and oversight of the town. The Russians tried flanking the complex to the west to capture the plant and encircle the apartments. Ukraine still holds the town east. If the geolocation is accurate, I believe this is an assault given the heavy gunfire. It's amazing that those buildings are still standing.


aznexile602

Are these Russians just uploading these gopro videos while encircled?


dreadpiratewombat

The quest for clout knows no bounds 


iskandar-

life is temporary, but reddit karma is eternal.


BiggusCinnamusRollus

You know it could be that they're paid by people to upload these. Sort of like Onlyfans, but for invaders.


Virtual-Swimming-281

You’re right, units more active on social media get more donations which means better arms and equipment


DefenestrationPraha

MostNefariousness583

Got to use that starlink


Q_dawgg

The Ukrainians did the same at Mauriopal,


Whole-Supermarket-77

It's the ones trying to gain positions to reach the encircled.


ShibuRigged

Remember Azov were doing it regularly while they were encircled in Azovstal for weeks.


EpochSkate_HeshAF420

Yes & no I'd imagine, some of these clips are definitely being uploaded by the person/people who recovered it off of a body, additionally small numbers of Russian forces are probably succeeding into breaking out & moving back to friendly lines. The third potential source is that some POW's gave up their footage for one reason or another & it gets uploaded, those are the 3 main reasons I can think of.


Showmethepathplease

Are you saying the Russians are encircled, or the Ukrainians?


Head-Computer264

500 russians have been cut off for a while now. They have been desperately trying to link up and rescue them. Now Ukrainian counterattack is threatening to encircle even more. And the ruskies are getting completely slaughtered trying to maintain control


Showmethepathplease

That’s encouraging 


bonjourboner

Do you have any credible source for that?


sethboy66

This has been ongoing for a couple weeks so far, and as with any ongoing battle solid intel is hard to come by. [Here](https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/06/16/trying-and-failing-to-cross-a-river-in-vovchansk-400-russian-troops-got-cut-off-now-theyre-surrendering/) Forbes reports on surrenders that occurred a couple weeks ago. These [surrenders](https://x.com/visegrad24/status/1802335832503681144) happened a few hundred meters past what Russian sources claimed to be under their control at the time.

CLCchampion

You can see it on the Deep State map, there's a pocket of Russian control on the northern edge of the river, which is the factory complex the Russians are stranded in. Ukraine has them encircled, but as you can see from the geolocation, this video takes place only a couple of blocks from the plant.


Hafthohlladung

Yeah... It's fucking everywhere it you're following the conflict.


Mvpliberty

I’ve been hearing that since Wednesday, that 500 Russians have been encircled


Jenksz

If they have been truly cut off for weeks how are they still holding out? They'd be out of supplies.


Head-Computer264

There's videos the russians posted themselves complaining of no food or water for the last 3 days


Jenksz

Links?


Head-Computer264

https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1800832716062986645 They've been sending suicide motorcycles and drones to try and resupply, without mich luck. They likely will need to surrender soon. Unlike some of the places that held out for a long time, these units don't have food and ammo stockpiled, it was an offensive that overreached... Ukrainians have been hammering them with glide bombs too, bad times for those trapped


HerMajestyTheQueef1

Good question, ignore that other childish commenter aha, I read reports that they have been using drones for some supplies


CA_Dweller

Wut? Yes they are encircled. Yes, they are getting supplied by drones. Both things can be true


HerMajestyTheQueef1

I didn't imply they weren't surrounded, I was just informing how those who are surrounded were being supplied


eat_dick_reddit

> They'd be out of supplies. I read somewhere they are supplied with drones. Might be true, might be fiction, but I remember reading it.


sanyesza900

They getting resupplied by drones and sometimes small groups get trough, like in the video


Power_of_Syndra

Being out of supplies doesn't mean they can't hold out for a few days or even weeks. Even with no supplies, the human body can endure for weeks, but without water at most only three days. If I remember right at the start of the war it took about three months for the Ukrainians who were cutoff in Mariupol to surrender. From what I read, the Ukrainians are push back the Russians. My guess is the Russians won't last much longer without an amble resupply, especially water and ammunition. Drone deliveries isn't enough for hundreds of men for a long siege. I think the Russians were hoping to resupply their trapped forces through drones as stop gap while a quick counter-attack was organized that would relieve the encircle forces. However, that seemed to have failed.


MrFailface

you have any source? not that i dont believe you but i would like to read upon it more. I know ukraine has been pushing back

State_secretary

I hope the Russians get royally fucked there. Although it won't change the fact they destroyed one city more. Let them starve to death in the ruins they created.


Doggoneshame

They’re Russians so they will fight like cornered rats instead of doing the sensible thing and surrendering. I bet by this point they’re all sleeping with one eye open so they don’t find themselves on the dinner menu the next day.


Turtleturds1

Russians


impulse_thoughts

This has been the state of affairs since 6/12/2024. [https://deepstatemap.live/en#15/50.2923/36.9411](https://deepstatemap.live/en#15/50.2923/36.9411) Russians overstretched themselves by trying to take over that complex to the south of your google maps link. The front "line" in the city is highly contested. This video shows the Russians still on the offensive towards the Ukrainian-controlled complex, even though recent reporting stated that the Ukrainians were taking offensive actions north and west from it.


ActionPlanetRobot

why would you be downvoted?


Wojti_

When crossing a street is a do-or-die type shit...


Fancyness

They literally ruined this place


Anxious_Look_9114

Shit is so pointless man smh


TheFinalCurl

Ish? Like, Russia is literally turning over their troops almost immediately. I think we're on the brink of showing a lot of responsive weakness from Russia


Patchall22

I’m thinking most of the fire is covering fire from their mates while they run from building to building. It’s slacks off after they get undercover and then intensifies when they move again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bitter-ends

just because we only see this group, doesn't mean all that fire is aimed at them. it might be suppressing fire from their buddies, and Ukrainian fire retuned at other groups or strongholds. And what's the ratio of bullets fired per hit again? something crazy like 40k shots per hit?


Y_A_D_Pain

If it isn't your time it isn't your time ig.


Dickavinci

The Ukrainian are suppressed, it's not a game and you know. When rpgs and bullets are flying your ways and you've lost fire superiority you aren't poking your head. Might just be bursting against the other building, didn't see the guys running. Where to run? You do recon, take the time to look. Actions aren't taken in seconds like a game, as your life is at stake you tend to be more careful.


Patchall22

It’s more than likely covering fire from their mates while they’re moving from place to place


cleanacc3

Doesn't sound like the shooting was at them, possibly suppression involving others


Educational-Teach-67

Yeah it sounded like a lot of it was suppressing fire from their side


Back-Proud

Imagine what it was like during D-Day, with full frontal assault against 6 miles of MG42 and artillery from both sides..


Money-Introduction54

Hope they all get 200'd soon


zenkenneth

Have they understood the message that they are not welcome there?

More problems for them if their not nvg equipped!

Love this one.


ShibuRigged

Even then. They seem prettt well equipped for Russians in that they’re wearing high cuts and peltors


Wartale

Victory for Ukraine!


Texas1911

They aren't really under fire ... you're hearing the outgoing friendly shots zipping over. If all of that was directed to them then they would have been shot to pieces trying to jog across 100+m of open ground.


Educational-Teach-67

Any idea on what unit or who these guys are? I see actual kits and suppressors on all their rifles so they clearly aren't the typical potato farmers conscripted from Bumfuck Egypt


Sinister_steel_drums

This reminds me of the City of Hue scene at the end of Full Metal Jacket.


DifficultWay5070

Full metal jacket vibe


DoraTheBerserker

That was what kinda came to my mind too


IamtryigOKAY

Wtf are Russians still doing in Ukraine.


GlueFueled

Dying, unfortunately just not fast enough.


Elfenlied77

Videos with recognizable buildings or locations should be accompanied by pre-war pictures showing families being proud and happy at home in Vovchansk. Or Bakhmut or Avdiivka.


Affectionate-Leek668

All for nothing …


Organic_Ambassador_3

I don’t think they want you there. Sorry to tell you.


RocksAndSedum

Not heavy enough I guess


Dr-Turd-Ferguson

This isn't COD my dude ... Not to mention you are getting the perspective from one guy


CanadaJack

To his point it doesn't really sound like they're under fire so much as they are near it. 


RocksAndSedum

if the Russian dude survived the "heavy" fire and was able to get back to base and upload the video, I stand by my comment that the fire wasn't heavy enough.


Revi_____

This was outgoing fire. Suppressive fire.


Dr-Turd-Ferguson

I mean it's unfortunate that he or any others wasn't hit. But the reality is that tens of thousands of small arms rounds are expended for each soldier killed generally.


alm1ghty99

i see videos like these with the low light and it make me think how crazy the world wars


vicblck24

It’s enlightening to see actual combat footage from Ukraine/russia instead of same ole same ole drone stuff


TertiaOptionem

This is amazing footage


Comprehensive_Arm152

That’s probably gonna be us all one day.


konnanussija

Ugh, they all survived.


se7en0311

Under heavy fire isnt the word I'd use for this lol


Affectionate-Leek668

Excellent-Shock7792

To me it sounds more like most of the gunfire you hear is outgoing, suppressive fire, you can even see the hits on the buildings, most likely to keep any heads down so the dudes can make the crossing.


elhafidos

That sounds like cover fire ....


West_Hedgehog_5110

From dusk till dawn. Zombies are running.


Ferret_False

How on earth they differentiate between enemy or not? It’s fucking dark, this applies for both side & blue band or red band doesn’t really noticeable


Asagaai2

I would be worried that tall concrete building they burrow underneath into is ready to collapse. Just look at the way the support structures into the foundations have been eroded...


warambitions

I don't think they were targeted or fired at all in that video


fwckr4ddeit

are they under heavy fire? I didn't see any nearby impacts.


canaal-generaal

It’s the cover. Once reached the building they started screaming “cease fire, we’re inside”.

Judging by the presence of more apartment buildings to the left but no more on the right in the first few seconds after he lowers his rifle could they be assaulting the north-eastern part of the citadel of high rises and enter the apartment building at 50.29806866229114, 36.93943881003017 from across the street just east of it?

Technical_Craft6347

Adrenaline is hell of a drug


Lunaciteeee

With the amount of ammo these guys are burning through they could just sell it and come out ahead of what their salary is


Buryat_Death

That reminds me of *One Soldier's War.* Written by a Russian veteran of the war in Chechnya, he mentioned how Russians frequently sold ammo, engine parts, even RPGs to Chechen fighters. Sometimes they got away with it, sometimes the commanders caught them but joined in, and sometimes they got caught. There's a scene in the book where two young men that get caught are strung up in a stress position and beaten till they're barely conscious. The author at one point works with another soldier to find enough ammo and other things to sell to the Chechens so he can get enough money (I can't remember exactly why, but I think it was to pay off his officer so he would stop beating him). Had I read these things while the war in Chechnya was going on, I would have dismissed it as propaganda due to how insane it is... Russian soldiers selling ammo to their extremely brutal enemy, just so they could pay their commander to stop abusing them? It's so grim that it's funny.
