A video appeared on the web demonstrating the "combat power" of the Ukrainian army

A video of the control practical training of the 54th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appeared on the Web. The creators of the video tried to show the "combat power" of the modern Ukrainian army, striving for NATO standards.

The video says that the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine abandoned the Soviet system of testing readiness for hostilities, in which the main element was combat drill, and not control practical exercises, during which soldiers, weapons, equipment and interaction of the units were checked.

In Soviet times, it was the combat drill that was the tip of the “army window dressing,” because during it, first of all, the appearance of the fighters and the dexterity of marching with a solemn march to combat songs were assessed

- said the creators of the video from Defense Express, posting the video on their own channel on YouTube.

However, netizens who watched the video noticed that Ukraine still had nothing to be proud of in terms of armaments, despite loud statements about the transition to NATO standards and the rejection of the "Soviet legacy".

Here are some of the comments for this video:

They departed from the Soviet, but the old Soviet equipment is operated

The average age of technology is 50 years or more?

Soviet scrap metal showed

Are these NATO standards?

As one commenter noted, the Armed Forces of Ukraine once again removed the "window dressing", designed for an inexperienced civilian audience, signing it all as a "departure from Soviet standards." According to him, in the Soviet army combat capabilities have never been evaluated by combat drill. The combat readiness of the units of the Soviet army has always been evaluated in practice, for the conduct of which the command spared neither ammunition nor equipment.

The combat drill of equipment and personnel is a special sacrament which foreshadowed any teachings and occupations.

Some kind of gang. On the armor there are neither identification marks nor numbers. Although on some board numbers are present.

From time to time, pots need to throw up such tales; from patriots, for the time being, forelocks stand on their forelocks... They live on the planet "Ukraine", where "one of the strongest armies on the continent is holding back hordes of Mokshe-Buryats". Or delirium tremens. Although one does not interfere with the other, but complements.

2 weeks without cradles: There were no boilers, there was a bridgehead.
3 weeks without cradles: A bridgehead, the operation of clearing which will go down in history, and Russians died 4 times more than the APU.
4 weeks without cradles: Not at 4 but at 10.
5 weeks without cradles: Russians piss in their pants, seeing new APU equipment.
6 weeks without cradle: One "Oplot" tank is able to defeat the "Armat" battalion or 2 Abrams
7 weeks without lyuli: Not a battalion but a tactical group, the Ukrainian army is the strongest in Europe.
8 weeks without lyuli: The strongest in the world, second only to Americans
9 weeks without cradles: If the Armed Forces are inferior to the Amers, then due to the fact that for 23 years the Russians created such conditions that the ingenious Ukrainians left to develop the US army, 50% of the achievements of the USA, 90% of Canada and the entire USSR were made by Ukrainians.

How I visited the museum. I did not see anything new, everything is the USSR 60-80s. The number of self-propelled guns does not correspond to the state. There should be 18 "acacias" and 18 "carnations", in the presence of 9 and 12, respectively. I especially liked the orange, civilian KAMAZ, about 40 years old.

Normal window dressing. The technique was mainly made during the Soviet era. But this is really power:

Then, in general, the largest exercises took place. Shield-82 (seven-hour nuclear war) from that category. But finally, the tradition is reviving - East-2018 ...

This can only be said by a person who has never really passed the final check at the SA ... The drill was the beginning of "hell", after which the final classes began, where they ran, pulled themselves up, shot, drove, worked out the standards ...
And here are some questions from the video, how do they suffer with the provision of ammunition, for this "mechanized brigade" ... BRDM, BMP-1 (BRM-1), BMP-2, BM-21, ACS 2S1 "Gvozdika", 2s3 " Akatsiya ", T-64BV, PTP" Rapira "each of these weapons and military equipment has its own ammunition ...

Quote: Pete Mitchell

here the berets of the 'landing' have changed; again called differently; alien flags hung ...,

A few days ago in the city of Kuyavis, which the barbarians declared their capital, a loud holiday was held dedicated to the good Umbrian deity Peremogiks, who patronizes the birth of healthy pink piglets, clay pots on wattle, slave embroidered shirts and other necessary attributes of life of the Umbrian outback. On the main square, built during the time of Sulla, when Umbria was part of the Empire, huge pitchforks, a symbol of rural prosperity and prosperity, were piled up, spread straw and, to be beautiful, hung around wreaths of buttercups and daisies. Porselananuks, the current leader of the savages and bean sweets merchant, perched on a dais, drank much from a huge bowl with sour braga, and ordered a Umbrian army to be watched.

Then came the comedy in the style of Titus Maktsia Plaut. Despite the blessings of Peremogiks, donkey ears and hooves of the evil demon Zradiks, or even the broom of the terrible witch Ganba, began to stick out. This time, the Umbreans tried very hard “so that everything was not like the Romans” - they put bear skins on themselves, as if among the Germans, richly decorated their hats with gold, like the Egyptian getters of the cheapest outfit, grinded physiognomies like galls and wanted to show the world an incredible ferocity.

The uneven and stumbling system of umbrellas hung with tinsel began to make the most miserable impression when it became completely clear - no matter how hard you work, they won’t be able to get rid of Roman traditions driven by centuries, even though you crack! First and foremost, the barbarians took out their battle standard, copying this action exactly from the Roman triumphs to the May holidays of Lemuria and the victory over the Cimbri and Teutons. The whistles, rattles and horns burst - and it must be done, the savages, albeit ineptly, played the march of the XNUMXst Legion of Transfiguratio, created under the Roman kings! Step, order, music - everything was Roman, with the exception of ridiculous clothes, more suitable for carnivals and mysteries.

Everything looked no less funny. The war chariots turned out to be Parthian, during the mournful chant of the anthem “O Glorious Peremogiks, we have not rested here in Umbria”, they also put their palm on the epigastrium like the Parthians, and again, according to the Parthian pattern, they unwound their standard. At the same time, the frontier guard left Roman green headdresses, as well as blue and black in special centuries, as well as in Rome! Evil tongues say that these centuries categorically refused innovations and insisted on leaving the Roman form - which is certainly the intrigues of the demon Zradiks!

Finally, the Umbrian “federates” walked along the thatched street, including the Britons, Sarmatians, Colchians, Jamaites, and Curns. Yawning from boredom, several Parthians defiled. This proud formation was closed by as many as four representatives of the wild tribe of Estonians - they were just going to the parade the year before last, and now they finally arrived, while the fifth got lost along the way ...

Sulla, who built the center of Kuyavis, would have sobbed, looking at this farce! Some wild Mixtura, in which Rome, Parthia, Germany and Sarmatia were mixed - from Umbria there was only straw, the smell of manure and cheap tinsel!

I remember at the Sergeevsky training ground of the Primorsky Territory, such a drill was ... We stood in a cordon and saw a lot from the hills. How to build a night out through a conditional swamp for tanks overnight. They cut down a birch grove under the very root, then the inspector also walked and measured the hemp. As turntables practiced blows from behind hills. How Hailstones with Hurricanes worked out on the areas. Then the motorized riflemen attacked.

The times of the USSR are over, everyone knows this, but what happened from the old USSR? You can’t even name the army conventionally, but the name is now correct APU, but not the army. Punishers do not serve in a normal army, in a normal army they teach to defend a nation and a country, in a normal army a black sergeant does not teach an officer how to fight, in a normal country they arm their army with their weapons, and do not run around the world with a hat, maybe someone that will give the unnecessary. And a normal army should not be cannon fodder in the hands of the owners.

Quite a miserable sight. This is not combat power, this is combat weakness. The armament of the Soviet Army during the Soviet era. It is not surprising that the DPR and LPR are carving up this "military weakness" and smashing the APU. In the Soviet Army, readiness and proficiency were determined during exercises, and not at drill reviews. Those who make such statements do not know anything about how things were in the Soviet Army. But in fact, great attention was paid to mastering technology, training subunits to operate in combat conditions, to perform combat missions together with other subunits and branches of the armed forces. In the exercises, joint operations were carried out with the participation of almost all branches of the military, including aviation and the navy (where it was possible and necessary). The training of the troops of the Soviet Army was really high, and the Soviet Army proved this in practice. Well, looking at the "military weakness" of Ukraine, one has a double feeling. Which one? Yes, laughter and tears, and tears come from laughter. The APU is on the right path to the complete withering away of the army as an attribute of a sovereign state. They are asking the United States for scrap metal ships. But not so long ago the power of the Soviet Navy was being built at the shipyards of Ukraine. And now they have dropped to the level of begging for scrap metal.

[Sarcasm]

Ukraine traditionally lags behind us, the issues of the armed forces are no exception. Remember what our army was like in the early and mid-90s, remember how the events of 08.08 were given to us. And after 6 years in the Crimea, we looked decent only at the expense of parts of the Special Forces and not everything went without a hitch.
Our problems were revealed by Chechnya and Georgia, the problems of Ukrainians were revealed by Crimea and Donbas. Ukraine is better financially, but the people are the same, so I think now the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the level of our army at the end of the last company in Chechnya. They also rob the army as it was with us during the period of wars, nothing different or original, the same devices only in profile.
The fact that the video is carried by a senior officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the accent and pronunciation of numbers which gives the Russian-speaking in it, is only a tribute to time.
And the "old" equipment is not newer in our country, especially since it has a modernization resource, and simply in the hands of a professional it is more than suitable for waging a war in modern conditions.
I’m more than sure that everything will be decided by military means in the East, and quite quickly and unexpectedly for us, most likely Ukrainians are just waiting for the development of a crisis with us, or the mistakes of our gentlemen in foreign or domestic policy so significant that they will not allow them to react harshly for a possible APU operation.

Ukrainians have strong military traditions, do not underestimate their will and mood.

[Sarmat Sanych]

Sarkazm, what the hell are "Ukrainians", it's enough to call the southwestern part of the Russian ethnos by the name of the roadside. What the Jewish Bolsheviks popped up there - we will soon fix it. With regards to the army of hohlumbia, the SEVEN BOILERS in Donbass, arranged by Donetsk miners and taxi drivers, are its indicator. Don't even mention the Russian Army, this is the most combat-ready military structure on the planet, which was shown by the brilliant military campaign in Syria, where we, in a small group, put the entire Western and Middle East world in a knee-elbow position (with their total multi-trillion resources). And the numerous military exercises of the last decade have invariably confirmed the absolute Russian superiority over both the Chinese army and NATO fighters. Be proud and not whine.

[Chervony Biker]

Wrote, you seem to be all right ... And about traditions too. They were all right. My ancestors - from Chernihiv and Odessa, gave their lives for the Russian Empire and the Soviet Motherland. Those. TRADITION is an application to something absolutely Great, Right. In what a person believes and what is his root, essence. So what do we see? "Pan Ataman" in the video is completely Russian-speaking and with his subordinates and in everyday life he probably communicates in the "language of the aggressor" and "ukrainstva" in it ... Well, you know. If a person is imbued with some idea, or at least accepts it, then this is manifested just in the little things. Not important in essence, but very noticeable in appearance. The forelocks begin to grow. "Vusa" (mustache) and of course "mova". Moreover, this is a senior officer, he is an example to follow for his subordinates. He must be the best at EVERYTHING! And how do you tell me, will some lad from Ternopil and Lvov treat such a "father commander"? Many will say that these are trifles, but not at the same level as the "military leader" from the video. Remember Prime Minister Azarov. (in the government of Yanukovych) In general, it is a sensible man, but everyone remembered precisely for his linguistic "perversions"

I don’t know how to leave the demobilization.

they showed some sort of storage tank for non-working equipment, and said that now they are conducting the exercises correctly .. not like in the USSR, where there was a stepwork and appearance ... as I understand it, they can’t show it either again .. passed by the crowd through the mud at the dump of old, broken machinery ...
But the shooting is fashionable from a copter .. Credit)

Combat power, or combat weakness?

Sarkazm, what the hell are "Ukrainians", it's enough to call the southwestern part of the Russian ethnos by the name of the roadside. What the Jewish Bolsheviks popped up there - we will soon fix it. With regards to the army of hohlumbia, the SEVEN BOILERS in Donbass, arranged by Donetsk miners and taxi drivers, are its indicator. Don't even mention the Russian Army, this is the most combat-ready military structure on the planet, which was shown by the brilliant military campaign in Syria, where we, in a small group, put the entire Western and Middle East world in a knee-elbow position (with their total multi-trillion resources). And the numerous military exercises of the last decade have invariably confirmed the absolute Russian superiority over both the Chinese army and NATO fighters. Be proud and not whine.

Frankly speaking, I did not consider the boilers in which the Ukrainians fell, and we had enough of our own at one time "successes". I consider the battles in the Donbass a crime, the second after the return to the Council of the Federal Assembly of permission to enter troops. If we had brought in troops, our people would not have died. And so, in fact, we ourselves allowed a sea of ​​blood to spill out, to die for thousands in the East, but now we are so pathetically concerned about Syria - Ivans do not remember kinship. X with the Westerners, but the troops would really protect the people in the East, and instead of bringing in the troops, they staged a bacchanalia, they allowed them to kill their own in batches and all for the sake of grandmothers, those who were on the accounts over the hill and were afraid to lose when they took them by the eggs and those that were washed in the East. And I repeat, they practically destroyed, almost to the root brought out that part of their own male population that would not sit on the couch if a booze in the country began. Slyly, so many hares were killed, just now they were people, our people both among the population and among volunteers from all over the country. Another divorce and another crime against their own people.
Now, at least understand how ridiculous and wretched do some opuses about the fact that "we will not sell Syria" look? !! Or how do they write here - a saucepan on the head interferes? ... It's not that we can't distinguish half-tones, we confuse white and black, fooled and stupid, and in this we are no better than the Ukrainians, on both sides of the zombies in a drunken stupor, the hangover will be heavy , when we understand how we were all fucked, made like little ...
There are no Russians and there are no Ukrainians or Belarusians, there were Russians, they were divided into Russians, Litvinians, Ukrainians, etc. - divide and rule. Who rules in the Russian Federation and in Ukraine? ... - there is one synagogue, they do not have Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox. Faced with the foreheads of Russians, they broke the ridge to the East of Europe. Well, there it’s clear brainwashed, but what are we? Nightingale droppings were overeaten, flavored by Kedmi, Satanovsky (oh and last name) and company? Really so stupefied that we do not see the simplest? We don’t even hear the voice of native blood ?! Yes, this is worse than incest what is happening !!!

There were Russia, Rusich, Rusyns.
Russia, Russian - this is already to Peter, father, the fact is that he attracted both Germans and German-speaking, hence the double "SS", otherwise in Germanic languages ​​one "C" is read as "Z".

Western Ukrainians, let it be known to you, have nothing to do with the roots of either Rusich, or Western or Eastern Slavs in general. The rest of Ukraine, Belarus, the population in some of our regions are descendants of the Slavs, as well as mostly Finno-Ugrians, Karelians, plus Russified Turks. This is the history of our country. Russian at the present time is not so much Slavic in origin, although some of the Russians are Slavic roots, as much as a native speaker of the Russian language and culture. Both language and culture are quite young by historical standards, but unconditionally stand on the foundation of Rus and Rus.

Very interesting video!
Look closely at the artillery! (in time at the moment - 1min 17 sec). It shows the brigade's artillery: 3 batteries of three 2S1 guns and more than one command vehicle (!!!). Further, there are three batteries of three 2S3M gun composition. Behind them are control vehicles (as many as 2 instead of 8), and there are: the SOB -1V13-1 machine (the last modification with the BOT behind the stern) and the KB-1V14 car of the first release with the BOT inside (!!!). Further reabatr with 6 BM and only with the SOB machine. Anti-tank platoon with "Rapiers" (3 units), 2 units. complex ATGM "Konkurs", and behind them 3 vehicles of zamtekhov and 3 onboard vehicles. And this is all the artillery of the BRIGADE! How are they going to fight and what are these hicks? I'm not talking about the state of this weapons and military equipment - in appearance everything is "decent", although there are no entrenching tools and cables on the armor (maybe they are in the fighting compartments). I'm talking about the management of units in battle, including the implementation of measures to prepare the LMS. Where are the artillery reconnaissance units? And another simple question - what about the delivery of ammunition? on what? This is not the Chinese army, where each battery has 100 BP carriers.
I propose to consider this video just "pants support" for non-professionals - to show that there is something else! This is not even a drill review. At the drill review, the subunits show coherence and readiness for joint actions, and in this shooting, "herds" in various forms simply wander along an intricate trajectory "to nowhere."

I will support. In 96 and 97 (not the best years for our army, plus a war was going on in Chechnya) there was an urgent period at the PSADR, a couple of times went to the field exit. Of economy, of course, instead of a brigade of 3 divisions, we traveled as part of 4 2C5 (simulating 4 batteries) and at the same time a control machine went to each self-propelled guns (similar to that of Ukrainians, the SOB -1V13-1 machine for each battery commander) I'm in the position of a battalion calculator with the chief of staff of the division in a fire control machine with a computer for calculations (it was without a commander’s turret because of the equipment) and acoustic reconnaissance on 3 shishig with my equipment). Shells were still brought to the landfill from warehouses, but not at our kamaz trucks. It’s clear that the exits were more for the officers than for the soldiers, I received a sergeant’s pair of visits, but in principle, even now, in 2-3 days I can calmly do the calculation of the data for the guns of the division to restore skills, and without any computers on one FU with a directory of adjustments for shooting naturally.

NATO, together with its owner, showed its "standards" in Syria. So, what lads think. If you have something, you need it !?

[orcinus]

I don't know how to show off, but the org.-staff. structure, and, based on this, the brigade's capabilities were highlighted in the video)

[Archivist Vasya]

From the modern, there are only a couple of dozen tanks, the rest is all old, albeit in a decent amount ... And why bother to wander somewhere in a long crowd, there would be no way to build as it should.
