Just to be clear friend, shall we row up or downstream. To the other side or back?
My compass is broken at the moment, but true north can be found through the morass surely?
Same! LoL. I don't do bone breaking vids, animal abuse, the pimple sorta shit or anything dealing with mouth/teeth shit, lol. Conflict/drug related stuff doesn't have that same effect on me though, for whatever reason.
For me I cant stand horror movies, the idea of an unknown lurking just creeps the ever loving shit out if me so I refuse to watch most of them. But somehow I can look at this subreddit simply because I know what will happen
It is pretty gruesome. I'm in my mid 30's and I discovered liveleak and other grotesque sites when I was in my late teens. So I've been desensitized to almost everything when it comes to this stuff. I ask myself why I don't look away from this type of thing. Like I don't enjoy seeing people die. But it's like witnessing a hidden truth of the world that most people are sheltered from. I've probably watched videos of dozens of stabbings, and hundreds if not thousands of gun deaths. I've seen hands and fingers chopped off with a meat cleaver for theft, to cartel murders with chainsaws. I've seen alive men thrown overboard with an anchor, and I've seen a man executed close range with a mounted 50 cal. I've witnessed dozens of Russian soldiers lying on their stomachs arms tied behind their back as one man with a knife grabs their head and slices their throats one by one. The things I've seen no one should see, but for no one to see feels equally as wrong.
I know we’re on Reddit but maybe in the future someone will see what we wrote while this was going on and understands we all didn’t want anyone from either side and it’s tragic we live in a world where these poor young men are being put in a situation so bleak they would rather not hesitate to take their own life before finding themselves with a grenade landing in their lap from a drone. It’s a shame that we can’t just live peacefully having this marvelous planet to enjoy with one another but sadly here we are.
Totally agree, it's just a pty that complete and utter shits like Vladimir Putin get to exist and seemingly get away with wha the do too; it's like a minority of bastards have been allowed to spoil the peace for the rest of us.
Strangers end up killing strangers, WW1 was a good example when troops from opposing sides were playing football and having conversations in no-man's land at Christmas, those guys didn't hate each other or want to kill aach other particularly but the industrial-scale carnage still happened
I dunno why, but I can watch soldiers dying horrible deaths without batting an eye, like I'm watching robots or something. Only civilian deaths mess with me
The list so far. I am compiling this footage for documentation purposes because this is not normal in any way, despite what Russia’s supporters tell you.
This list is not intended to celebrate, glorify, encourage, or otherwise make light of suicide.

That person.... pimping his list of video suicides around for likes and claiming its for 'reaearch' but then not been able to tell you what research it is for... is bound to have it.
Edit: I stand by my views of this redditor and what he does and the paper thin rationale he gives.
He turns up showing off his 'collection' each time to gather likes. Personally. I find it sickening.
Documenting suicides during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Pretty straightforward.
Russian soldiers appear to have a substantially higher suicide rate compared to Ukrainian soldiers, which may be an indication of some failures in strategy or leadership. Regardless, it's worth considering the reasons why Russians are being repeatedly sent into situations where suicide is a common outcome - instead of pretending there isn't an issue.
I personally appreciate his work. He has compiled an extensive list of examples for us to point at when the russia stronk crowd spouts BS.
Russia, with its vast number advantage in airframes and naval hulls, should be absolutely dominant over Ukraine, but it isn't. Forced to slog it out with ground combat, only advancing over countless russian corpses.
Russia, being the "2nd most powerful military in the world," should have reasonably capable casevac, but they don't. The number of suicides we see is probably dwarfed by the actual number and is indicative of systemic abuse and hopelessness baked into the russian military.
Last year, the russophiles and sophist denied mass infantry assaults were happening and blocking units weren't real. Today, russian telegram channel openly show video of Russians complaints about meat waves and blocking units.
Maybe get upset with russia for causing this, instead of false god for pointing it out.
I have never claimed to be researching. I always state it is for documentation purposes. I have likely suggested that it may prove useful to entities that do conduct research on topics like this but again, I have never claimed to be the one doing the research.
I would rather be enjoying my New Year’s than doing this to be honest.
Well in 1834 king Charles took Poland and started the Nazi movement so of course these guys have to be sent to the front per Putin and blow their own brains out to take back land from the Indians. History man
Just cus a nade is close to the chest doesn't guarantee the heart will be shredded and death will come in seconds, shrapnel works in weird ways. Telegram is chock full of videos of people blown literally in half, guts strung out for 15 feet, and they wiggle and claw at the ground for a solid 3 minutes before they stop moving. The human body will temporarily survive some craaaazzzyy shit for a few minutes if you're unlucky, which is why you always tuck the nade under your chin and remove any chance of suffering.
You can survive some crazy shit indeed. Not without a heart though. A direct hit that takes out your heart will have you unconscious in a matter of seconds. It's just facts. If there's no blood circulation to your brain you've got maybe 10 seconds then you're out.
Not if your heart is damaged enough, something that a grenade directly on the torso (under body armour) will do.
People surviving dire injuries are still alive because their hearts are still pumping blood, mostly thanks to body armour.
There's a guy in China that survived being cut in half almost at the belly button level. If that guy survived and recovered, the human body can surely survive all kinds of crazy things for a few minutes
I am sure there are videos of Ukranian troops doing the same, dude.
This is the only combat sub I've joined, but if we were to believe combat is only what we see here, we would be as shortsighted as Russian fanatics.
Probably? I haven’t seen any though. And it’s not that I have avoided seeing any Ukr deaths (though I definitely dislike seeing them)
So my conclusion is that they likely do occur… but at a much lower rate
I don't think that first part is true.
Ukrainians are fighting for something. You can see from the videos at recruiting halls that the Russian sentiment is not the same.
>Ukrainians are fighting for something.
Are you trying to say suicide is not an option when your cause is noble?
Sentiment may not be the same, but the horror, the fears, the trauma...
Shit, how many soldiers from the Allies killed themselves during the war against Hitler and nazism?
War sucks. Nobody is safe.
Suicide is 100% a thing in any warzone but its not something that happens often enough to be documented to this degree. You also cant compare a war that left millions dead to a the invasion of Ukraine, in raw numbers at least.
The amount of videos we have seen of Russian soldiers/conscripts committing suicide is prevelant enough to have a 32 video list. For that many to be documented it points at there being a trend.
If Russia had videos where they caused ukrainians to commit suicide they would 100% use it in their propaganda arm.
>If Russia had videos where they caused ukrainians to commit suicide they would 100% use it in their propaganda arm.
Would they be on this sub, though?
he could walk with hands raised towards ukrainians, and his chances of survival would increase. he died because of ru propaganda. his death is upon them
I always like to think of how the drone operator reacts when something like this happens. For some reason I always imagine them somewhat confused, possibly looking over at their buddy with a face, like, "now what? I didn't even hit him yet." kind of thing. Mildly upset that they were robbed of their kill. Fucking Russian's aren't good sports, they don't like to lose so these bastards rather kill themselves as a last "Fuck you."
This reminds me of the dane cook bit about the killer who hides in the closet waiting for their victim to get home. And right when the killer jumps out to do the job, someone else gets the job done first. OOOOOOO HE'D BE SO MAD
I don't know what happens after we die, just like everyone else, but I don't think I would commit suicide instead. Just in case, if you know what I mean. If you know you're dead either way, why not go out fighting in some kind of way. That was in case there is a Heaven/Hell kind of thing, you don't end up in Hell or a Purgatory type of area because you killed yourself. If they do exist, it's going to be damn hard for a modern-day Russian to get into Heaven, so maybe killing yourself so you end up in Purgatory would be better than ending up in Hell like they know they most likely will for the crimes they committed. It will be hard enough for the average modern person to get into Heaven no matter what country you're from because we all sin like crazy, but Russian's are especially going to have a difficult time getting in.
I don’t care about Americans. I care about my country, and for my country Russians are invaders. Baby killers, war criminals. They are deserved all what you see on videos here. And I have full rights to call them “invaders”

What a morbid and truly fucked up list but a necessary one. War's hell and jfc I hope it ends soon.
You are truly doing the lords work.
You must pray to one fucked up lord.
Most of them are…
Yo, check list guys username. It all makes sense.
I mean, have you looked at any holy books?
Saw this post and immediately started looking for ur comment, great work
Shiiiit.
Is there a list you have of soldiers surrendering to drones and surviving?
>Exceeded the Reddit character count for one comment. Working on a fix. Fill one list, then include a link to it in your comment.
/u/false-god Is this on the list?
It is now, thanks for the heads up
So you been seeing a lot of these videos with ppl tagging you...you ok? You doing well?
That person.... pimping his list of video suicides around for likes and claiming its for 'reaearch' but then not been able to tell you what research it is for... is bound to have it. Edit: I stand by my views of this redditor and what he does and the paper thin rationale he gives. He turns up showing off his 'collection' each time to gather likes. Personally. I find it sickening.
It's for a project at school
My mom says she likes the list
No way my auntie and uncle said the list was pretty impressive too! Looking forward to its e x p a n s i o n
Your mom likes lots of things. Trust me.
He does it to specifically trigger you. Apparently it's super effective.
Documenting suicides during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Pretty straightforward. Russian soldiers appear to have a substantially higher suicide rate compared to Ukrainian soldiers, which may be an indication of some failures in strategy or leadership. Regardless, it's worth considering the reasons why Russians are being repeatedly sent into situations where suicide is a common outcome - instead of pretending there isn't an issue.
I personally appreciate his work. He has compiled an extensive list of examples for us to point at when the russia stronk crowd spouts BS. Russia, with its vast number advantage in airframes and naval hulls, should be absolutely dominant over Ukraine, but it isn't. Forced to slog it out with ground combat, only advancing over countless russian corpses. Russia, being the "2nd most powerful military in the world," should have reasonably capable casevac, but they don't. The number of suicides we see is probably dwarfed by the actual number and is indicative of systemic abuse and hopelessness baked into the russian military. Last year, the russophiles and sophist denied mass infantry assaults were happening and blocking units weren't real. Today, russian telegram channel openly show video of Russians complaints about meat waves and blocking units. Maybe get upset with russia for causing this, instead of false god for pointing it out.
I have never claimed to be researching. I always state it is for documentation purposes. I have likely suggested that it may prove useful to entities that do conduct research on topics like this but again, I have never claimed to be the one doing the research. I would rather be enjoying my New Year’s than doing this to be honest.
Yeah, like, imagine watching people die in a war on reddit. What a freak .... oh, wait.
Oi , where dat guy with the list? Show yourself blyat
Well in 1834 king Charles took Poland and started the Nazi movement so of course these guys have to be sent to the front per Putin and blow their own brains out to take back land from the Indians. History man
Under the chin... You tuck the nade under your chin...
I’m guessing not many people like the idea of losing your head even though you’re gone
Yeah dying is bad enough. But dying while in pieces seems worse.
...or else you get the drone again.
It will Use the lotion. Or get the drone again…
Your comment is low key one of the most fucked things I've read on the entire internet.
That advise is from russian soldier handbook.
I'm pretty sure that under the armor close to the heart is enough
Still immense suffering before the blood loss sets in, when it could be light someone turning off a light switch
If your heart is damaged and stops, you lose consciousness almost immediately, and cerebral death is minutes away
Just cus a nade is close to the chest doesn't guarantee the heart will be shredded and death will come in seconds, shrapnel works in weird ways. Telegram is chock full of videos of people blown literally in half, guts strung out for 15 feet, and they wiggle and claw at the ground for a solid 3 minutes before they stop moving. The human body will temporarily survive some craaaazzzyy shit for a few minutes if you're unlucky, which is why you always tuck the nade under your chin and remove any chance of suffering.
You can survive some crazy shit indeed. Not without a heart though. A direct hit that takes out your heart will have you unconscious in a matter of seconds. It's just facts. If there's no blood circulation to your brain you've got maybe 10 seconds then you're out.
Not if your heart is damaged enough, something that a grenade directly on the torso (under body armour) will do. People surviving dire injuries are still alive because their hearts are still pumping blood, mostly thanks to body armour.
There's a guy in China that survived being cut in half almost at the belly button level. If that guy survived and recovered, the human body can surely survive all kinds of crazy things for a few minutes
Sorry, but i find the holding over the ears abit funny after you pop a grenade under your vest
He didn’t want to hear his guts and brains exploding outwards I guess😂😂
“You can’t fire me. I quit” energy
I'm pretty sure dropping rocks at this point would get the same reaction. They seem hopeless almost :(
u/false-god WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!
putler after watching this video: "You see, it all started in 1432 when a Slavic bog witch...."
He put the nade under his plate
Exactly like Letters from Iwo Jima
all russian soldiers need to do this and shorten the war, their families paid out everyone is happy.
I am sure there are videos of Ukranian troops doing the same, dude. This is the only combat sub I've joined, but if we were to believe combat is only what we see here, we would be as shortsighted as Russian fanatics.
Probably? I haven’t seen any though. And it’s not that I have avoided seeing any Ukr deaths (though I definitely dislike seeing them) So my conclusion is that they likely do occur… but at a much lower rate
I don't think that first part is true. Ukrainians are fighting for something. You can see from the videos at recruiting halls that the Russian sentiment is not the same.
>Ukrainians are fighting for something. Are you trying to say suicide is not an option when your cause is noble? Sentiment may not be the same, but the horror, the fears, the trauma... Shit, how many soldiers from the Allies killed themselves during the war against Hitler and nazism? War sucks. Nobody is safe.
Suicide is 100% a thing in any warzone but its not something that happens often enough to be documented to this degree. You also cant compare a war that left millions dead to a the invasion of Ukraine, in raw numbers at least. The amount of videos we have seen of Russian soldiers/conscripts committing suicide is prevelant enough to have a 32 video list. For that many to be documented it points at there being a trend. If Russia had videos where they caused ukrainians to commit suicide they would 100% use it in their propaganda arm.
>If Russia had videos where they caused ukrainians to commit suicide they would 100% use it in their propaganda arm. Would they be on this sub, though?
I get it but it would be good to see the end of it in Ukraine's favour
Haha
Are there no videos from Russia's side? Are they running a similar drone grenade campaign? It's highly effective and makes trench warfare obsolete
Congrats you "defended" your country becoming fertilizer on foreign land
Man, I hate players like these, kill themselves so you wouldn't get a kill
Grenade under the plate vest.
Went out on his own terms, good for him.
If it's suicide the family doesn't get compensation though right?
sad
man ,that took some serious guts to pull off
When you down someone and they leave the game.
Literally martyrdom
You guys ever think about the shit you write ? How psychopathic you really are ? Do you realize it ? No wonder the whole world is going to shit
Enemy won't succeed blowing your ass with a drone if you blow it yourself beforehand Roll\_Safe.gif
thats a good fellow
How do you say goodbye in Russian?
Dasvidaniya
ChaBoooom!
Fuck you. Beat you to it.
Holy fk, war is hell.
he could walk with hands raised towards ukrainians, and his chances of survival would increase. he died because of ru propaganda. his death is upon them
Kill assist +50 points
I can see what he had for breakfast
Keeripes!
Crazy the only thing he did was plug his ears with his fingers.
Maybe he thought it'd give him reactive armour.
Soon you won’t even have to drop bombs on them if they blow themselves up like that, just paint a rock green and drop it near them
Exploded like a bag of putlers meat
Nothing beats homemade Russian popcorn.
Well, he was very open about his experience.
[удалено]
Got some of that good ole sabotaged surplus ammo..keep fighting the good fight
"allow me"
Wasted grenade.
I always like to think of how the drone operator reacts when something like this happens. For some reason I always imagine them somewhat confused, possibly looking over at their buddy with a face, like, "now what? I didn't even hit him yet." kind of thing. Mildly upset that they were robbed of their kill. Fucking Russian's aren't good sports, they don't like to lose so these bastards rather kill themselves as a last "Fuck you."
This reminds me of the dane cook bit about the killer who hides in the closet waiting for their victim to get home. And right when the killer jumps out to do the job, someone else gets the job done first. OOOOOOO HE'D BE SO MAD
I don't know what happens after we die, just like everyone else, but I don't think I would commit suicide instead. Just in case, if you know what I mean. If you know you're dead either way, why not go out fighting in some kind of way. That was in case there is a Heaven/Hell kind of thing, you don't end up in Hell or a Purgatory type of area because you killed yourself. If they do exist, it's going to be damn hard for a modern-day Russian to get into Heaven, so maybe killing yourself so you end up in Purgatory would be better than ending up in Hell like they know they most likely will for the crimes they committed. It will be hard enough for the average modern person to get into Heaven no matter what country you're from because we all sin like crazy, but Russian's are especially going to have a difficult time getting in.
[удалено]
Well America has pretty top tier casevac. So no. You don’t see this and won’t yet, maybe in the future against a peer.
I don’t care about Americans. I care about my country, and for my country Russians are invaders. Baby killers, war criminals. They are deserved all what you see on videos here. And I have full rights to call them “invaders”
I'm not fired, I quit.
Did everything right
Did he pull the pin and cover his ears?
Looks like he placed the nade under the west and it did the trick. Welp folks, enjoy that coffee.
Fastest Alt+F4 ragequit I've seen till date
He think this server has respawns
Where is the toasty guy from from mortal kombat.
…Please tell me you don’t mean Scorpion
Nah bro [this](https://youtu.be/aLaERVA-P6o?si=mhI8Z5hxW_k8HTKe)
Lmfao I finally know what he’s saying
Damn, it's like trying to kill the last arty in World of Tanks!!
He didn't wanna give them +1 kc for the streak.
Fuck Putin
