Complete GoPro of a Terrible Recon Mission in Ukraine

I don't know what to say. Personally I could never in my life do something like this unless it was my own country that was invaded. I respect those fighting. Walking in those fields. No cover at all in clear skies. I respect it. I don't know too much about warfare I'll save that for the professionals. Just stay safe the best you can guys!

Why are some soldiers blurred?

I hate to be the critique guy, but in my entire 25+ years as an infantry officer I have never seen a recon mission this desperate to move quickly and tactically less correct. I truly wish these brave men get some effective training to enable them to accomplish the mission’s they are tasked with. This video broke my heart for them. Walking down a road? I’m sorry for being negative but Ukraine must win this war through less attrition, not more. Perhaps I’m missing something here but I doubt it. I realize these are early days but still, my comments are definitely constructive. Respect to those young men taking up the challenge to fight for something truly worth fighting for.

this must have been crazy for the civilian he must have thought what ? americans coming to my country to fight russian orcs ? hell yeah

You gotta have near and far side security when crossing Roads or any MSR

I’m a former Army Recon Det Comdr & Sniper TL & this video is quite alarming. The disregard of noise discipline, patrolling in open tracks by day which are considered obstacles or potential fire lanes, the lack of recon SOP’s is evident. No all round defence halt procedures. No obstacle crossing procedures. In open ground you should be patrolling into your OP at night, during the day you should be using cover such as sticking to treelines or deadground. There are 2 main threats for a recon patrol… enemy trackers & forward observers or OP’s. FO’s can call in IDF. Long Range OP’s are occupied by snipers which observe at a distance of 1-2km. I know you guys are on the ground doing the business and it’s easy to point out faults from our end but please learn & apply recon patrol procedures. It will minimise loss of life. ❤️ from NZ.

You have Email

I know of a place that in Vietnam was bombed every day and my dad had to fight through that near the end of the war and it’s a miracle that he’s alive

use topo gps my mate (from a reconnaissance medic)

Крысы зашли к человеку во двор

Dude leading the way has to be the loudest mfer ever walking through the woods… good thing nobody was within distance of hearing… definitely could have been much worse

Getting in any building in Ukraine is not good

Whilst watching you lads, I could feel the tension building. With the enemy still in the area and you boys walking in the open, across the fields, I was just waiting for either the 1st mortar round or the 1st burst of 30mm or maybe even perhaps RPK fire to start whizzing in..

That ankle twist is most horrifying thing in war zone

Thanks for all the awesome perspectives of war brother! Every American will remember the word "Carta" means "Map" in Ukrainian after watching this nail biter!!!

I feel like if you are fighting in a foreign country it should be mandatory for everybody to at least learn some basic conversational skills in the local language. It doesn't take that much time just a month of some studying and practice (even between other training) can go a long way

Yawn. My walk to the dog park today was more interesting and dangerous. Why post 30 minutes of running around lost in fields?

Was your medic armed or not?

Watch your step on the branches, it's created noise that may reveal your position..

Gotta love 2023 my dude
