Drunken Russian's charge through minefield - TVP World

[TexasTowelie]

Ukraine's armed forces in a counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region managed to seize a Russian 2S5 Hyatsint-S self-propelled gun for the first time. NASAMS air defense systems began arriving in Ukraine. An extraordinary attack by two Humvees on Russian positions.

1. Valor and Victory through Vodka?

On second thought, scratch the victory part!

2. Is there, at some point, video of drunken Russians charging through a minefield?

Or is it 10 minutes and 22 seconds of blathering?

3. It's a simple yes or no

Amazingly, I got a nasty piece of DU mail for simply asking if the title matches the video.

4. Around the 3:30 min. mark - not much to see

5. Thank you!

I guess I don't get the point of these types of video postings that don't seem to be intended for discussion of the video, since they are just volume-posted with no commentary. But, maybe I don't get the point of a discussion forum generally.

But the ones that have "See This Amazing Thing!" with no apparent evidence of said amazing thing (and I did at least scroll through this video to see, but didn't find it), seem kind of deceptive. I get that YouTube "creators" earn money, but is there also some monetization ecosystem around posting them to places like DU?

I had sort of guessed that "Russians Charging Through Minefield" does not occupy most of this oddly-named video, but was willing to give it some benefit of the doubt.

6. Oh, lol, I'd already seen that on Twitter

In its full 19 second glory (with no confirmation of what, exactly, it might be):

It's so weird that this stuff is posted on social media, and then scavenged by "content creators" to wrap long boring nonsense around it, and then gets dumped back on social media with clickbait title.

7. Reminds me of the Austro-Hungarian army during WW1 when they intentionally ran up..

...to the Russian front lines unarmed so they can have a quick death and not have a slow death via hypothermia in the Carpathian mountains.
