Close-quarters combat between Hamas Al-Qassam fighters and Israeli forces inside a home in Gaza
This is what real CQB looks like. People typically retreat as fast as possible after taking fire and fall over the others behind them, they don’t all push into the area the fire is coming from.
Man shot by police while filming himself in gunfight
We tend to make a lot of assumptions about how people do or do not behave under stress, in a gun fight, after they are shot, and so on.
The “normative assumption” or “presumption of rationality” is the tendency to expect that other people will behave in a reasonable, logical, or rational manner in a given situation. This assumption often leads to misjudgments when others act in ways that are irrational and unpredictable.
This can result in poor tactical and strategic decisions.
You will never be able to understand what motivates some people, or the logic behind their behaviour, and that’s fine. Always leave part of your mind open to the possibility that things could go pear-shaped in an instant.
The gentleman in this video, for example, is completely irrational. You will not make sense of his behaviour. He will not respond to reasonable directions. He is not acting in his own best interest, he is not even responding to a gunshot wound to the chest the way you would expect.
Two men fight to the death in Ukraine with guns, knives, improvised weapons
This is absolutely the most brutal – in the truest sense of the word – combat footage I have ever seen.
Watch this at your own discretion, and I recommend that you first read the short summary below to decide if you would still like to watch.
A second angle was also filmed by a drone:
A Ukranian solder, wearing a GoPro, approaches a structure and takes fire through a window. He was possibly hit, blood is visible.
He falls, returns fire, gets up and attempts to throw a grenade through the window.
The Russian soldier exits the building at the same time and approaches the corner where the Ukranian is standing. They both step around the corner and run into each other, clinch and fight over the Russian’s gun, before they end up on the ground.
They fight hand to hand with knives, teeth, and eye gouges. Both are drenched in blood.
The Ukranian is stuck on his back, while the Russian is able to cause more damage due to his dominant position on top of him.
Translation of the final moments below, from 6:40 in the video:
Ukrainian soldier: That’s it, mum, goodbye. Wait, let me die in peace. You’ve opened everything (meaning critical blood vessels) in me. Let me catch my breath. Very painful. *unclear*. Let me pass away in peace. Just don’t touch me. Let me die. Don’t touch me, let me die. Please go away. I want to pass away on my own. Thank you. You were the best fighter in the world. Goodbye. You were better.
Russian soldier: Goodbye, brother.
Ukrainian soldier: goodbye. Don’t do it.
The Jon Romano story: offender, advocate, victim and… liar?
How much can the life of a single man teach us about crime, punishment, rehabilitation and redemption? And is he even telling the truth?
Textbook ambush of armoured vehicle convoy – Ukraine War
A Leopard 2A4 tank performs a textbook ambush on a column of Russian armoured vehicles.
Typical ambush tactics for a convoy. You kill the last vehicle first, because no one else typically has eyes on it, so everyone will be confused for a few seconds. If you kill the first one first everyone knows what is going on instantly. Killing the rear vehicle is not always feasible, however.
Next you kill the first vehicle. You now have a dead vehicle at the rear, and a dead vehicle in the front, and if the road is narrow enough, you have created a kill zone. The convoy cant reverse without going off road, and it cant advance without going off road, either.
You call in artillery immediately on this kill zone. Or, if you’ve timed your ambush right, you put command detonated explosives on the road side and fuck everyone up as they try to get out of the kill zone.
Pain compliance fails again
