This Is How Ukrainian Protesters Attack An Armored Personnel Carrier

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Watch as sparks fly between a Ukrainian military APC, possibly the same one we revealed earlier, as it gets into some blazingly close encounters with the Kiev protesters. It is unclear who won however it is quite clear that at this point the proxy war in Ukraine between Russia/Gazprom and the European Union/US State Dept/Saudi/Qatar can be upgraded to "hot."

And the death and injury toll, which is rising by the hour:

  • 6 policemen dead
  • 6 protestors dead
  • Police HQ in Ternopli on fire
  • Police HQ in Lviv occupied
  • More than 150 injuries

Finally this:

  • KLITSCHKO ARRIVES AT YANUKOVYCH’S OFFICE FOR TALKS: REUTERS

In short: things have spiraled out of control, and the only possible outcome is another new all time high in the Spoos overnight.

Some sodium hypoclorite bleach in there, you think? Shouldn't have immediately torched the tyres if there isn't. Something similar, anyway.

Holy Shit that was awesome display of guerrilla warfare, regardless of what "side" your rooting for!! Take note, "other" LE types with your urban tanks and APC's, when the tires melt, the ship stops dead and the boys cook! Its not so great after all, is it???

From that clip, the dead policemen number might be a little low at 6!

First, I think this "throwing" of fire bombs is basicly stupid. Without too much trouble, use bicycle tire inner tube (or two) mounted between two stiff poles, you will be able to launch that bmb a good 40 meters with high accuracy. You will need spotters.

Second, Using compressed air in Sched 40 or 80 PVC tube makes a very economical launch system for many sizes and types of projectiles. Detonation on impact is an obvious choice. Even a good mass load fired at relatively short range will knock any storm trooper on his ass quite well. He will think twice about whether he wants to stand back up and take another hit.

If you are going to fight, then fight.

BTW, my assessment is that APC and its occupants are done. Yes, good choice for asymetrical response. What $10-20 in fuel taking out a half a million $$ troop transport? Pretty good attrition there.

Also, consider adding some detergent and/or styrofoam to that gasoline. Yes, you just reinvented Napalm.

Protesters have had various elastic catapults in action. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ukraine+protest+catapult&sm=...

Cut the bottom off a clorox bottle, cut holes in the sides to attach surgical tubing, load a water balloon, range much greater than 40 yards. The clorox bottle supports the easily breakable water balloon during launch. Glass bottles are surely different, I have no experience there.

I don't understand that APC closing to throwing range of the protesters. Government rules of engagement seem to be not to fire heavy weapons (from outside protesters range).

My thoughts exactly.  Nice cadence and arc on those Molotovs.  I believe the first cocktail was thrown in front of the tank deliberately to enable the fire to burn UP from the bottom as well as from the top.  I would recommend judicious use of .50 AP rounds, as well.  Plus rocket-propelled shaped charges, if available.

Yes, they lose.  East and West should stay the fuck out of it and let the people of Ukraine chart their own course.  But since this is in Putin's back yard and his economy cannot survive long with Ukraine in his pocket I fear he will find it impossible to not intervene.  So the only man who can make things less bad or much worse will choose the latter, and the people of Ukraine will suffer, and teh more the West retaliates the worse everything gets.  Staying out is the right play, but it won't go that way.

This is where persistence would pay off. Keep fire bombing until the vehicle runs out of firefighting measures. Or, build tank traps, and channel everything where you want it. Lots or options on how to fight armored vehicles. A mobility kill is just as good as destroying the vehicle. Disabling support vehicles/rescue vehicles and personnel is also SOP.

One group the "protestors" are openly fascist. Stepan Bandera their national hero fought for Hitler's SS. The other side, Berkut, is fighting to protect their homeland from neo nazi fascists from Lviv, who don't know their own history... and think that Russia is their greatest enemy and Nato is their friend.. (Nato supporting fascism how ironic..) Those protestors don't know their own history.. this is a Nazi revolution that is taking place, yet for the west this is very desirable as it weakens the solidarity of Ukraine and thus Russia... just a stepping stone for the NATO NWO American Century Imperial Plan.. So the west goes on to sponsor fascism in Ukraine.. Thank you OBAMA and MERKEL, brainwashing your citizens, feeding them GMO, destroying your currencies, and destroying all other nations that stand in the way of the WESTERN ELITE. The more this goes on the more I'm convinced that the Western Elite worship the DEVIL>

you're throwiing around a lot of big words, Alexander....This "fascist" you speak of was a Ukranian freedom fighter.  He only wanted to ally with Germany in an effort to get Ukraine free from Commies running Russia.  He didn't fight with Hitler.  In fact, the Nazis arrested him and threw him in a concentration camp for 3 years.  

 

Nazi, fascist, Nazi, etc....blah blah.....Most Ukranians just want freedom from the massive corruption that permeates the culture at every level.  They don't give a damn about the EU or Russia.  Of course, most feel a kinship with Russia, whom they consider their brothers....but this isn't about who they want to buddy up with, this is about putting an end to the bullshit.

And YOU SAY THEY WERE FIGTHING ???? Funny. Please educate yourself about the history.

"Swoboda" party members have the same ideas on their flags, and the same "nazi" purposes. Main street in Kiev is named after Bandera. Ukrainians are building their identity on wrong ideas. Now you see the results...

Actually, many in the old Soviet Union welcomed the German invasion. It was not so much that they loved Fascism or even Germans but that they wanted freedom from the gigantic prison called USSR. The Germans raised combat divisions and many Cossacks joined them. Had they not been so racist regarding slavs, who were considered inferior, as well, they might have defeated Stalin and avoided the strong partisan campaign behind their lines.

Correct me if I am wrong but Stalin purposely starved the Ukraine, right?

They're getting considerable help from CIA, I'd guess.

One has to assume the Russians have a good number of people on the ground there as well, who can blend into Ukrained even better than the Yanks or Israelis {who, of course, are also there, as they are in Georgia, etc. etc.}.

Same old same old, but  alot of the consequences here are going to be, I'd guess, unintended.

Little chance of the Ukrainians resisting the meddling.  Their media is more controlled than even that of Britian and the US.

And by the usual suspects.

And the correct pellets from the 10 10 10 make it more "energetic", but if you really enjoy slagging things, thermite is the way to go.

You can get all you need to make thermite on ebay. Aluminium powder, sand, and sulphur to ignite the redox reaction. You could probably mix it in to a gas/styrofoam mix Molotov cocktail.

One of the things I love about the Internet is no matter how dumb or dangerous some idea is, someone has already been there, done it and uploaded it to youtube.

Yeah, kind of hard to put out a fire of molten iron at 6000F, isn't it?

I'm trying to figre out how to launch the thermite and have it deliver that molten iron as a "shower", ya know? It IS good at burning through gasoline tanks and engine blocks.

Yes, thermite is highly effective, not just on metal, but also on tracks, tires, and variants of plexi-glass.  The marketing of MRAPs makes the vehicle sound invincible, but there is always a way it can be destroyed/disabled.  In every military conflict, armor is only as good as the infantry walking next to it.  Otherwise, the opposition force can get in close and knock it out.  Power to the people!

Dual Residency has its benefits... It's always nice when your good government provides an proper instruction manual to civilians for organizing and forcibly resisting against oppression by violent bad governments, and then your bad (and increasingly violent) government provides a convenient English translation of said manual...

If you go the english langauge PDF route (get a 145MB file, not a 30MB file- there are Swiss instructional diagrams which are indecipherable enough in full size)

Neither the Deutschebag FinMin, nor Darghi, seem to be able to comprehend the scale of investment the Swiss have made in maintaining their sovereignty (and their counter-productive rhetoric marginalizes the diminishing number of EUphiles in Switzerland)

Sooner or later people need to realize that this won't be an isolated incident, and that it's all of us against the elites. They are desperately trying to cling to power via any distraction they can.

I think people being evil  {vicious, harmful, selfish} has something to do with the world being "a dangerous place to live."

Don't you?

Moreover, the people who do {or claim to be doing} "something about it" often have a funny way of making things significantly, needlessly worse.

And no, I don't have the answer either - but along with having a healthy mistrust of government, I have a healthy mistrust of people who turn to violence so easily. 

Either they've never truly seen it on a large scale, or they have, and don't care, which is orders of magnitude worse, and indeed, the sort of people who are making these decisions in Washington, New York, London, Paris, and Jerusalem, and who regard the bulk of humanity as pawns in their efforts to write the history of the future.

Quite simply, the ones pulling the strings are great at making money, killing people, and keeping the eyes of the mob off of them.

Mobs are unthinking tools of violence, utilized by a hand which is less hidden than simply ignored. 

Violence, and the hate that engenders it, are infections of cognition.

An escalation is EXACTLY what the protesters and their US backers want.  Bringing out the AVs only speeds things up, as it "ups the ante".

Russians might play chess, but Americans know how to poker.  Should be interesting to watch.

The BRiCs are trying to bring the EMs on board, but TPTB are attacking them (the EMs), and are thus marginalizing Brazil, Russia and China in their coming showdown against Club Fed (USD+EUR+JPY).  As long as King Dollar is king, the bets are easy to make:  Club Fed wins.  It will take more -- a lot more -- than a mere easing of USTs to ripple the FX, stocks or bonds.  Russia and China would have to "blindside" the USD with a new gold-backed currency and dump all their USTs at the same time to make a difference that Wall St and the MSM could not ignore or hide.

Place your bets, and get your household ready.

Not being a dick, honest question - you really think the BRICS TPTB are different than Club Fed?

I know Russia and China are old legacies that make the west look like toddlers, but they don't really seem to be out of the fed-related weeds imo.

China was 'conquered' many times over, if you look at the Opium Wars, the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion, the invasion of Manchuria...  The rise of China has been completely with the approval of the EU, Japan, US.  So we can definitely say China has been 'made'.  And as the saying goes, 'if they make you, they can break you'.

Russia was conquered, most recently, at the end of the Cold War.  All that privatization, that was essentially foreign conquest.  The oligarchs were the ones who were able to secure foreign financing first, and in the largest amounts (see Khodorkovsky).
