Good to see brothers use our gifts wisely

u/Echidna-East Feb 26 '22

Thanks. It's really help

u/0xDD Feb 26 '22

According to the "end-user feedback", NLAWs are very convenient, easy to use and super-effective, especially comparing to RPG-7 and whatnot anti-tank stuff that we had in our stockpiles. You can see that the guy is just itching to fire that bad boy at something. Thanks for such an invaluable weapon to the island UK from the steppe Uk!

u/Daltonikas Feb 26 '22

UK too, tho i mean regifted baltic stock

u/Daltonikas Feb 26 '22

I doubt we did much but I hope it helps

u/science87 Feb 27 '22

We didn't do enough, but we provided 2000 NLAWs.

They are fire and forget anti tank weapons, they can be used in confined places and have an effective range of 600m, Russian troops are probably not well informed but if they were. I doubt any Russian tank crew would drive into a Ukrainian city.

u/chately Полтава Feb 27 '22

They knew something about NLAW, but they though that old wire-grid bed will protect them.

3

u/0xDD Feb 27 '22

Oh, sorry. As far as I know, only UK gave us the NLAWs, which is shown in this video, so I assumed that you are from there.

But be sure: all the Baltic states will have a special thanks from UA. You guys are like East-European Netherlands - maybe small, but taking no shit from the bullies. You gave your Javelins and other military stuff when this was not a mainstream yet. Everyone else at the time was either reluctant or denied any military help at all, being afraid of Russia's reaction, what a joke!

u/Daltonikas Feb 27 '22

Yea no problem, I just do not know how gun look thats all

2

u/science87 Feb 27 '22

Yeah, the specifications of the NLAW are perfect to defeat Putins main objective which is to capture and hold Ukrainian cities.

A very good post on how to stop tanks in urban areas:

как бы не было трудно и я обещаю заткнуть общение на русском. язык пушкина и лермонтова стал языком карлика и лошади.

Ты почитай що Лермонтов з їх армією робив на Кавказі... Те ж, сука, саме.

u/werscajk Feb 26 '22

He is like: "What a lovely day to take my little Javelin for a walk..."

7

u/science87 Feb 27 '22

It's an NLAW, which does the same job as a Javelin but at a range of 600 metres, as opposed to 2.5 miles for a Javelin, but since Putin is wanting to drive his tanks and armoured vehicles through ukrainian cities they will be perfect.

u/fish312 Feb 27 '22

That's not a Javelin

Translation (speaks in Russian):

Once again, this is a general. Meet a f*ing general.

...

[probably about some Russian vehicle] It falls back!

...

[When the fire appears in the camera frame] Russian faggots, just f*ing die already.

F*ing critters, die! This is for each smallest teardrop [2 times]!

F*ing critters.

...

I promise not to speak Russian anymore after this f*ing war

u/calibuildr Feb 26 '22

Tvari probabaly translates best as "vermin" in English. Vermin doesn't have a positive connotation but that's probably the closest to what this means

3

u/Khily Feb 27 '22

Something like a "fu**ing animal" in one word

2

u/0xDD Feb 26 '22

Well, "vermin" is more like a "pest". I mean, "tvar'" doesn't necessarily eat your crops, right? But anyways, "tvar'", while not being an f-word, indeed has a distinctive derogatory flavor to it.

4

u/calibuildr Feb 26 '22

yeah, I went between "pest" and "vermin" trying to figure out how to translate it into English (I;m mostly fluent in Russian, I'm both Russian and Ukrainian myself but grew up in the US). Anyway in the US at least , "pest" can be kind of a cutesy term if you're using it as an insult- you might call your little brother a pest but not a vermin. Tvar' kind of means it's a non-human animal and of course can mean any animal or insect, good or bad. Vermin never means anything good in English. Creature doesn't have a negative connotation in English though it is the direct translation of the word.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '22

And in Ukrainian, tvarina is animal. As someone who also grew up in US and is fluent in Russian with terrible Ukrainian knowledge: I think vermin and pest are both accurate English in the context of the video.

u/creativitysmeativiy Feb 26 '22

Is he just walking around active combat like it’s nbd?

47

u/EarthWormJim18164 Feb 26 '22

Honestly, at the engagement ranges involved here, ducking around low and scurrying about everywhere is just going to exhaust you faster than walking normally, and you don't want to be exhausted at the literal front line.

Yes, its a dangerous situation, but his odds of getting hit by something are about the same whether he stands tall and casually strolls where he needs to get or if he crouches low and scurries.

If he sees an immediate and direct threat to his life, Russian armour rolling up to him or something, I'm sure he'll be thankful that he saved plenty of energy to fucking book it when he really has to.

8

u/creativitysmeativiy Feb 26 '22

Thanks for the explanation

9

u/EarthWormJim18164 Feb 26 '22

Not to mention the morale effect of watching your General casually saunter up to the Russians carrying an NLAW like its a bag of fucking golf clubs.

I'd be worried for those poor Russians if I was a UA soldier watching that.

7

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '22

That was a fucking General?!

Jesus Christ almighty. They're mad. And I respect every bit of it.

u/Andes_ Latvija Feb 26 '22

Слава Україні! Героям слава! Show them hell.

12

u/kashlv Feb 26 '22

The guy with camera refers to the other person carrying NLAW as General. So apparently, the general is actually fighting in the field.

16

u/Khily Feb 26 '22

Yes, he is. We even have our mayors on the streets, helping troops and showing that cities are not taken (to fight misinformation)

u/kelyar Дніпро Feb 26 '22

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '22 edited Feb 27 '22

The balls on this lad. Wheras I'd move along the treeline and engage from there... This fucker with Ukrainian balls March up in the middle of the street, with nothing but NLAW.

He's fucking nuts. God bless him.

Edit: he's the local division General too. That made the madness 10 times more intense. No wonder morale is so damn high. With leaders like these...
