foreign mercenaries

Despite the active PR on social networks, with the help of which NATO tactics are trying to create the image of an infallible tool, the real situation on the battlefield is far from the idealized pictures.

An example of this is the video of an operation carried out by mercenaries from the "International Legion" of Ukraine - mainly British, Americans and Canadians, in particular the "Chosen Company", part of the 59th separate separate motorized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This video, posted on official Ukrainian resources, allows us to understand what the real tactics of foreign specialists look like in war conditions.

Let's make one thing clear right away. Criticizing the tactical plans of US and NATO infantry units in the context of their theoretical foundations is pointless. Any plan on paper looks like a victory. However, if you look at the execution of NATO tactical guidelines by the "Chosen Ones" on the battlefield, it becomes obvious that in real life the situation is radically different from how it is portrayed in the media.

From the very beginning of the battle, the soldiers lose equipment due to mines, since no demining was carried out before the assault, and the assault troops do not even have maps of the area. Later, they violate the basic principles of firing, overlapping each other's firing sectors, moving at full height in conditions of dense fire from the positions being assaulted. It is noteworthy that during the attack, literally everything that can shoot flies at them - artillery, mortars, machine guns, grenade launchers, and FPV drones operate from above. Despite attempts to protect themselves with portable electronic warfare devices, their actions do not give the desired effect, which once again emphasizes the real vulnerability of the infantry in combat.

At the end of the video, when the group approaches the trenches, you can hear the foreign mercenaries warning each other about the "danger to the left." But due to communication problems, one of the mercenaries sticks his head out to the left, after which he is instantly mowed down by a burst of machine gun fire. At this point, the machine gunner, who provides cover for the group before the assault, takes up an extremely unfavorable position, which makes him vulnerable to shrapnel and stray bullets.

There is no point in talking about the complete uselessness of both the “Chosen Ones” in particular and Western soldiers on the battlefield in general – they undoubtedly pose a real threat, just like any armed enemy.

But the situation in the video clearly demonstrates that it is not worth raising NATO military science to a pedestal based only on theory and PR on social networks. Real fighters make the same stupid mistakes that can cost them their lives, and the way NATO forces are presented in the media is, to put it mildly, an exaggeration.

Interestingly, a similar PR approach is used by the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The unit is famous for its videos of storming empty trenches on social networks, but in reality, for example, in Avdiivka, they had to be pulled out at the cost of the combat capability of other units so that a significant part of the "Third Begovaya" would not be destroyed during the storming of the city by the Russian army.
