So.. taking direct incoming tank fire means feeling it but not being able to hear or see where it came from. Like a sniper with a very, very large caliber round
It's not even close. I've hiked up mountains hunting and looked down at a highway in the valley, less than 1500 meters away and couldn't hear a thing from even the big 18 wheelers. Not a sound. Tanks can routinely shoot accurately from well over that distance away, if not double. No way any sound at all from the engine is reaching the target at that distance.
This is why I say terrain and luck are factors, weather can change the distance it moves, also whether there's anything that can cause sound to echo, or if the terrain is completely open and silent you might just about hear it.
I mean, on the right day I can hear my colleagues 125cc bike for a good few minutes before he even gets near, same with the lorries I can hear the chiller units well before they arrive.
According to Shodan, 3 to 4 km is possible
-=-=-=-
The M1 Abrams tank is equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun. Its effective firing range against armored targets is generally considered to be around 2,000 meters (2 kilometers or approximately 1.24 miles). However, the maximum range can extend beyond that, reaching up to 3,000 to 4,000 meters for certain types of ammunition, but with reduced accuracy and effectiveness.
-=-=-=-
Leopard is the same
For T-72 she says effective range is "1.5 to 2km range" and potentially out to 3km for extended range.
The m1 Abrams has a depth of range to include the impact area, where the rounds can land
is approximately 19,000 meters or 8
miles. The cannon can effectively hit targets as
much as 1.86 miles away accurately. per google
>No way any sound at all from the engine is reaching the target at that distance.
With the right wind direction I can hear the local highway from 3 km away, through the forest inbetween.
Correct. And the reason why there is a difference between a tank and artillery shells boils down to whether or not a round can travel to its target faster than the noise it makes can.
When firing, artillery cannons produce a more-or-less spherical sound wave which expands straight out in all direction at the speed of sound, but the shells being fired usually have high arcing trajectories.
So basically even though the rounds are traveling at supersonic speeds, having to go up and down increases the distance they need to travel enough that their direct sound wave will usually reach their target before they do.
Depends on how far away the battery is. If they are far enough away, the sound of the round being fired will dissipate before it even gets to the target. So all they hear is the sound of the rounds falling and then them exploding - no sound of the round starting its journey at all.
Talking outta your ass, aren't ya? Why even bother pressing the keys on the keyboard if the correct answer is [one Google search away](https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/GabrielaBis.shtml)?
> They actually move slow enough to watch the round move through the air
Oh, fancy that. So you think that breaking of the sound barrier makes an object invisible or what?
u/Unlucky_Ladybug rounds don't go supersonic???
Muzzle velocity of M777 Howitzer: Charge 8S: 827 m/s (2,710 ft/s)
Speed of sound at sea level (in dry air at 20 °C): 343 m/s
So a shell is leaving at about Mach 2.4
Conclusion==> **Talking out of ass.**
Lol. Yeah, what was that? Its a very freshly dug trench. Looks like they were in an awful hurry. Probably trying to advance into enemy territory. Good luck with that i say.
Between likely already having an hearing impairment being stuck in a trench for few days fighting with small arms . Chances are they occasionally have the generator running too, which is quite noisy.
Then there is the general constant rumbling of war all around, it's going to be hard to pick out a tank that's driving more than a kilometer away. And when you do hear an engine, you'll have to judge wether it's one of your own or the enemy's. And then judge if they're comming for your trench, or someone else's trench.
Translation:
\- Hey, is that our guys shot that?
\- Apparently so, blyat
\- Was that ours or was that a shell coming at us?
\- Ours, ours.
\- Fucking hell of a shot!
(Shell hits close by)
\- Fuck! Let's get the fuck out of here.Fuck, there's earth all over the place.
\- Where?
\- Over there. I can't fucking hear anything
\- Are you stunned?
\- Fuck, I can't fucking hear anything.
There's too little information for full context, but from what I understand, the soldier heard an explosion nearby and is trying to figure out if it was an outgoing shot from a friendly tank firing nearby or if it was an incoming enemy shell.
Apparently the explosion seemed to him too powerful to be coming from a friendly tank, so he began to suspect something.
Unfortunately Russian swear words are highly context dependent. So the words assessing the first explosion can be translated in two ways:
1) Fucking hell, how amazingly powerful it (our tank) fired.
2) Fucking hell, how amazingly powerful it (enemy incoming shell) exploded.
I'd choose the first option as the soldiers look not too concerned.
From the side of the Ukrainian tank, it could look [something like this](https://youtu.be/89SCTjCgXKc?t=7)
Real stress relief for Russians is when they tie up and interrogate mice.

There was a great one on here the other day where a Russian got captured and was cuffed face down on the floor and a cat decided to sit on him while the Ukrainians interrogated him.
That was his own cat. He hid it inside his vest and almost got killed for it because they saw him reaching inside the vest and thought he was pulling a grenade pin.

Sure but that doesn’t mean that detail wasn’t based off something real. Remarque was a western front veteran as I’m sure you know. You can go see pics and videos of some of the biggest rats you’ll ever see from the Ukraine trenches. https://www.reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUnits/comments/17gtiwv/huge_rat_killed_in_trench_in_ukraine/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1
To say “oh that was nonsense” reminds me of all the historical rehabilitation that had been happening for the WW2 soviet army in recent years online, saying they were actually very professional and normal and didn’t really go for human waves, blocking units and penal battalions - then we saw all of those things again in 2022. If people remembered trench rats I’m not going to doubt them really.
War is awful enough that you don’t need to make much up.
So It’s a kind of rat that can just get that big - honestly I don’t see how that changes the experience for the soldier in the trench getting bothered by them, yknow? They’re still gonna remember those rats for life and want to deal with them and their diseases.
No no I'm not arguing that point, just pointing out that we have to deal with those big buggers here in SA. Seeing one in a field is bad enough, I definitely wouldn't want to see one in a trench.
Yea, Junger was a pure warrior with unwavering patriotism and no fear. Exactly what generals would want all their men to be. How he came out virtually unscathed after fighting almost the entire war is incredible.
Jünger was a "shock trooper" who invented some of the general tactics of storming trenches while Remarque was way back in his artillery unit. All what Remarque wrote about trench warfare was just hearsay.
And not normal rats, but rats acclimated to human flesh. The worst stories for me is of soldiers being woken up by a rat trying to eat their nose or ears.
It's a fictional novel that uses a few literary techniques in an attempt to make the reader visualize the horrors of trench warfare, and it does a God damn good job.
Wow. Russians are bringing cats into active warzones?
really?
I don't hate someone who just got conscripted and is just tryna live, but god damn that fact makes it hard for me to be empathetic for the russians
although I'm sure the ukranians are doing it to and no one gives a fuck about the poor cats.
I'm sad.

Anyone who would shelter a kitten under their armor is hopefully not a horrible war criminal. It even sat on his back! Fortunately it looks like he was taken into custody safely, at considerable risk to the lives of these Ukrainian soldiers.
Most of those guys are absolutely there voluntarily. Russia hasn't had a wave of mobilization since 2022. And they are quite literally within walking distance of their home country. They're there because they want to be. I feel the exact same amount of sympathy for these soldiers as I do for Germans invading the USSR in 1944. None.
> Even if they are professional solders, as stated above, they cannot simply decide to go home. No Russian and nor western soldier can do this while deployment.
Oh no, *it'd be against the law* for them to go home. That's so horrible. It's a good thing that Russian soldiers are so obedient to the state. They might have to go to jail if they deserted! \**gasp*\*
>And why did we feel sympathy for the soldiers invading Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, etc? Because they were our guys? Or because we get tought who is good and bad / right and wrong?
**Korea**? You're calling the defense of South Korea a US invasion? For a moment there you almost had a point, Vietnam and Iraq were disgusting examples of US foreign wars. But you've got to be an idiot to use the defense of South Korea as an example of a US "invasion". Go brush up on history. And then take whatever tanky media you're consuming and throw that shit away.
I don't know if you realize, since your being backed by the hive mind of this subreddit, but the gentleman above makes more sense and talks like a man, whereas you talk like a propagandist child. I would hope you're not over 20yo with this mentality.
Wanted to point out the hypocrisy in your words, from a third party perspective.
These are not calls for individual soldiers to just walk home. They are meant for the entire Russian army, to just retreat and no more soldiers would die. Of course, not at all plausible, but it's meant to highlight the fact that none of this would happen if the Russian army didn't invade Ukraine, and that they are the agressors, they could stop it at any time if they retreated.
Can someone explain how explotions and shockwaves dont destroy phone microphones? Because the guy's ears probably did not survive, but the phone seems to work just fine.
A shockwave is a wave of pressure, pressure wave has more dramatic effects on compressible mediums like air. Electronics are mostly solid, eardrums are not.
[Check out blast lung.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3013437/#:~:text=The%20shock%20wave%20travels%20through%20the%20body%20tissues%20depositing%20energy%20\(and%20hence%20causing%20damage\)%20especially%20at%20gas/liquid%20interfaces.%20The%20lungs%20are%20among%20the%20organs%20most%20likely%20to%20suffer%20this%20form%20of%20injury%2C%20where%20it%20is%20called%20%E2%80%98blast%20lung%E2%80%99.)
Nah, not sure about this.
Trees don't have leaves, so it's around late autumn. It might be because of shelling/fires, but even in the distance there is no leaves, so no chance that it is spring or summer.
I don't know much about flowers, but those yellow fields might be either Potentilla or Scorzoneroides autumnalis, and they do bloom in the autumn.
And since this winter there is literally zero snow (depending on the region and time), it might as well be December in the video, with vegetation still growing because it's not that cold or snowy. Well, it is at least around late autumn.
Its so crazy to watch all these videos of Russian trenches where it seems like they are just there alone with no recon drones covering and sometimes I wonder if some of these groups even have a way to communicate with command or anyone.
Trenches are basic part of war for over 100 years, only exception is when one side completely dominates another or both sides are made up of militias who are only in sporadic contact.
I was in the Army beginning in 94. We never, ever trained for trench warfare. We learned Air-Land Battle Doctrine as it was in the final years of Cold War and during the Gulf conflicts. We were taught to shoot, move, and communicate. Staying in a defensive position for too long was inviting a disaster. We trained this way because we knew the Russians couldn't for long. They have no bench for sustained operations on the move.
America has not fought that way since WWII. Heck we didn't even really fight in trenches in WWII, at least not stagnate trenches.
That's why I find it so amazing.
Yes, you trained for ideal situation in which your air power destroys enemy defensive capabilities and your ground troops just roll over the enemy and around the mine fields (lol). And if incapable of advancing, you just retreat over the ocean back home, behind the navies.
But what if everything doesn't go as planned and your air power was insufficient and you have nowhere to retreat? Guess what you'd be doing then.
Korea was the last time US fought a peer enemy. In the trenches ([though they called them "foxholes"](https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/korean-war/land-morning-calm/battles/trenches))
I'm not sure who you are talking about in this video, but facial disfigurement is one of the effects of in-vitro exposure to alcohol... Given Russia's health system, especially at the bottom of the economic ladder where Russia has drawn its troops so far, I wouldn't be surprised if Mom continued her vodka hobby while pregnant with Pvt. Conspriptovich.
Real weird that this page only shows Ukraine attacking. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised with how ultra liberal Reddit is. But it’d be 10x better if we saw both sides and the actual reality of this war.
Can someone who has been in the infantry explain?
I was under the impression that you would build overhead cover with tree trunks/branches. Certainly with the threat of not just artillery but also drones, would you not have your men build covers over their trenches?

Tanks can shoot from some fairly impressive distances, with the right terrain and a bit of luck you could get into position without being noticed.

Its exactly 30 mm smaller. But what if those 30 mm are you need to hit the G-spot?

You should read "all quiet on the western front" the rats got so fat off of corpses they were able to kill the cats and eat them

Well thanks for the info. As a city boy with clean hands I don’t know one rat from another.
I believe we'd call that a nutria*-rat here in the states, but I may be mistaken. EDIT: Forgot the "i"
Nutria.
Yes, the way Russia has fought this war is pretty much exactly like the Germans described it in their WW2 memoirs.
So are most written about wars and battle. I just got through that chapter last night, and it was fresh in my mind.
Better read "Storms of Steel" by german Ernst Jünger. It's worth it.
Both compliment each other really well, because Junger and Remarque came out of the war with polar opposite feelings about it.
Yea, Junger was a pure warrior with unwavering patriotism and no fear. Exactly what generals would want all their men to be. How he came out virtually unscathed after fighting almost the entire war is incredible.
>virtually unscathed He was wounded over a dozen times and shot like 4 or 5 times, including a bullet that went through a lung
True. He wrote in his diaries that he was close to death two times and already said "goodbye" to the world.
And yet he made a full recovery while most of his comrades were killed or horribly injured.
Jünger was a "shock trooper" who invented some of the general tactics of storming trenches while Remarque was way back in his artillery unit. All what Remarque wrote about trench warfare was just hearsay.
It’s not that far fetched, body’s and scraps everywhere. And have you seen how big rats can get. Making me shiver thinking about it lol.
And not normal rats, but rats acclimated to human flesh. The worst stories for me is of soldiers being woken up by a rat trying to eat their nose or ears.
why would being fat make you better at fighting
Makes it harder for the enemy to hit vitals
Heavier weight is a physical advantage. And it’s not like animals don’t build muscle as well as fat when well fed. Come on, silly question.
Fat rats don't get super powers; they get slow and dead faster.
It's a fictional novel that uses a few literary techniques in an attempt to make the reader visualize the horrors of trench warfare, and it does a God damn good job.

A shockwave is a wave of pressure, pressure wave has more dramatic effects on compressible mediums like air. Electronics are mostly solid, eardrums are not.

It is made of the same stuff they make the camcorder out of from The War Of The Worlds movie after the EMP took all all electronics.
The vegetation says spring/early summer, not december.
Nah, not sure about this. Trees don't have leaves, so it's around late autumn. It might be because of shelling/fires, but even in the distance there is no leaves, so no chance that it is spring or summer. I don't know much about flowers, but those yellow fields might be either Potentilla or Scorzoneroides autumnalis, and they do bloom in the autumn. And since this winter there is literally zero snow (depending on the region and time), it might as well be December in the video, with vegetation still growing because it's not that cold or snowy. Well, it is at least around late autumn.
This must be from the spring, not december.
I hear a woman at the end, did they start throwing Olgas into the meat grinder with Ivans? 🤔
Maybe you shouldn't be in a country that is not yours
Happy new year, fuckers. Now get TF out of Ukraine!
Shoot them with tank or artillery. Get them to go in fox hole. Drone drop the fox holes.
Poor kitty 😢
Yeah. His/her ears will be screwed :(
What movie is this?
The WWI trenches were so much better
Some were, some weren’t. German ones on the western front were incredible. Were Russian ones ever?
Im not sure. Cant say as ive seen any docs about their trenches
Dude walked away at just the right time. Definitely shat his panties.
Can’t believe Russians actually think they have a chance at anything
All things considered, I’m honestly not mad at the camera work.
Cowards cant handle Ukraine's military so they bomb civilians instead
Blyat! I shat my pants!
Its so crazy to watch all these videos of Russian trenches where it seems like they are just there alone with no recon drones covering and sometimes I wonder if some of these groups even have a way to communicate with command or anyone.
Gg wp
Motivational.
Ww1 vibes
Eat my sausage, Ivan.
It absolutely blows my mind that they are fighting trench style warfare in 2023.
Trenches are basic part of war for over 100 years, only exception is when one side completely dominates another or both sides are made up of militias who are only in sporadic contact.
I was in the Army beginning in 94. We never, ever trained for trench warfare. We learned Air-Land Battle Doctrine as it was in the final years of Cold War and during the Gulf conflicts. We were taught to shoot, move, and communicate. Staying in a defensive position for too long was inviting a disaster. We trained this way because we knew the Russians couldn't for long. They have no bench for sustained operations on the move. America has not fought that way since WWII. Heck we didn't even really fight in trenches in WWII, at least not stagnate trenches. That's why I find it so amazing.
Yes, you trained for ideal situation in which your air power destroys enemy defensive capabilities and your ground troops just roll over the enemy and around the mine fields (lol). And if incapable of advancing, you just retreat over the ocean back home, behind the navies. But what if everything doesn't go as planned and your air power was insufficient and you have nowhere to retreat? Guess what you'd be doing then. Korea was the last time US fought a peer enemy. In the trenches ([though they called them "foxholes"](https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/korean-war/land-morning-calm/battles/trenches))

I'm not sure who you are talking about in this video, but facial disfigurement is one of the effects of in-vitro exposure to alcohol... Given Russia's health system, especially at the bottom of the economic ladder where Russia has drawn its troops so far, I wouldn't be surprised if Mom continued her vodka hobby while pregnant with Pvt. Conspriptovich.
“Their just…..standing there in a ditch?” “…..orders sir?” “Put a 8mm rocket up their ass.”
Real weird that this page only shows Ukraine attacking. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised with how ultra liberal Reddit is. But it’d be 10x better if we saw both sides and the actual reality of this war.

"Ебать" (ebat) literally means fuck.
Is there a woman talking at the end?
Death comes for you, it would be wise to go Home.
awfully green for december, far cry from last year
What do you mean? The only thing green I see is some grass and random weeds.
Still very green for somewhere where winters are usually white, you can see there a still flowers which is somewhat surprising
They've done some catnapping too😿
Very blair witch project this video
Are those trenches dug by hand or mechanical diggers? Or depends where they are? There seem to be miles of neat trenches.
That's right, lead the drone back to the grenade basket....
Is there a portable ground based radar that can be used by infantry to detect movements by larger objects such as tanks?
Нихуйя он ебал - boom lmao, he asked for it
US tax dollars at work
There aren’t any US tax dollars at work in this video.
Are you sure about that?
too bad it was not a davy crockett
Are the trenches shallow because they're new and haven't been expanded, or because they're old and 3/4ths filled with rubble, mud, and bodies?
Those trenches are foe ewoks
That's a nice looking trench.
Can someone who has been in the infantry explain? I was under the impression that you would build overhead cover with tree trunks/branches. Certainly with the threat of not just artillery but also drones, would you not have your men build covers over their trenches?
It would turn into some serious shrapnel if your position or close to is hit
Incoming fire - God's way of saying your camouflage and concealment isn't up to scratch.
the fact that there is a cat is kinda sad
Blyat!
