Accurate_Storm2588

First female ruZZian I've heard of in this war; I had thought that the ruZZian leadership considered them unworthy. If that is true, they must be getting very desperate for bodies to send into the meat grinder.


Arkh101

There was a female orc officer that was defenestrated earlier in the war. Not sure why


CPDawareness

Early on I saw a video of a rus woman soldier high as shit on some kind of upper running around a supply depot type place. Gave me a feel for how the ork supply operations run(not well).


Leo_Hundewu

I’d love to see that do you have a link?

Thanks! Found it on youtube.


Madge4500

Ukraine took one female soldier captive a few days ago, kicking and screaming.


ThisAllHurts

In fairness, women have plenty of historical reason to fear falling prisoner. You can tell them in advance that’s barbaric and illegal, but that’s no guarantee that someone won’t behave illegally.


Potato_Donkey_1

Yep. Soldiers are always a threat to rape, even the ones in disciplined armies. No, I don't mean every soldier. But war is a lawless condition. Not every man is a natural born rapist constrained only by fear of punishment, but there certainly are some.


ThisAllHurts

And war is just a wholly different environment, one outside of the boundaries of society (though with its own rules and norms). In that respect, it is similar to prisons. Sad to say, but women do revert to being seen as resources by many men under arms. You are removed from most external constraints, given license and an obligation to kill. And abuses happen.


Potato_Donkey_1

I was interested in the observation by Cornelius Ryan, writing about the fall of Berlin, that front-line Russian troops tended not to be the rapists in the Red Army. Most of the offenders were reserve or rear-echelon troops who experienced the war in relative safety.


Secretest-squirell

The ones who where’s used as the blocking trooped for the front line where generally seen as the worst offenders for it


TheRealAussieTroll

Personally I wouldn’t put my dick anywhere near a Russian woman. Dreadful creatures.


Boeff_Jogurtssen

Sometimes the same thing happens to males. Just look at prison situations, for example.


ThisAllHurts

And homosexual rape is considered a legitimate warfare tactic among certain groups. Going back to Alexander the Great, for instance, you *did not* want to be captured by Pashtuns in Bactria, for instance. The Romans were warned of falling in the hands of Bedouins. Russia has a long, nasty reputation for wholesale rape. And much of that has endured to the present.


UAHeroyamSlava

russian officers are using rape with their own soldiers as means of disciplinary action. theres plenty of videos on telegram of russians soldiers gang raped publically as punishment. no gay if in the russian army I would guess?


Arkh101

What seriously? Lol


OrgJoho75

Probably afraid of what she was told about barbaric Ukrainian treatment on POW... you know,, when you actually did the very same thing of what you think....


Arkh101

Yeah you’re right. I didn’t think about that. Well fortunately she will learn that we in the west don’t tolerate that kind of stuff


Madge4500

I went back to find the video, it was on [UkraineWarVideoReport](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/), it's been deleted for whatever reason. From 2 days ago. also found it on X [https://x.com/UaCoins/status/1807401941741273444](https://x.com/UaCoins/status/1807401941741273444)

>it's been deleted for whatever reason. From 2 days ago. Probably because the video is really from 2022: https://www.newsroom.kh.ua/news/vsu-vzyali-v-plen-rossiyskuyu-zhenshchinu-voennosluzhashchuyu-video

She looks a little...old...to be on the front lines. Pulling folks to the front lines from wherever they can get them. Jfc.


Heatedblanket1984

Was that posted to Reddit or telegram?


Still-BangingYourMum

When you say female orc officer running around a supply depot, what that really means is maternity ward. Which in the eyes of ppresident ShitCan is the samething as a military supply depot

Women are usually not coming close to the trenches serving as an auxiliary specialists like medical staff and supply management. Ukraine have much more female soldiers because we have problems with conscription and poor management in some of regiments that becoming viral among defectives

DifficultySuch5384

I give them -100 credit for invasion.


Jackbuddy78

That's the case here as there is no mobilization in Russia for women


Jazzlike-Map-4114

I read an article that they opened up the female prisons to service in the army.


shotputlover

In this case though the woman is far more well equipped than standard soldiers.


twinsea

This one certainly doesn't appear to have any training. She left the most defensible spot against drones for open ground.


raging_pastafarian

Not much you can do against an FPV drone. Only thing you can do is really try to keep the tree between you and it, to let it absorb the explosion. But even as you try your damndest, the FPV drone operator still has a strong advantage. If you're behind the tree, it can just aim for the ground just behind the tree. It moves WAY faster than you can. I'd estimate if someone's playing "hide behind the tree" against a drone, they probably only have a 15% chance of avoiding getting hit.


yr_boi_tuna

It's a reality of the modern battlefield. Once the drone operator has you targeted, you're going to have a directed explosion happening near you. It's just a question of how close. These things can close distance at 155kph.


Ackilles

God can you imagine being a woman in the Russian army?


UAHeroyamSlava

from things we hear from front lines: theres plenty of females on russian side but those are encouraged to be "friendly" to officers to be kept as support in the back or be sent to meatgrind. guess this one misbehaved.


Gephartnoah02

Ive heard if a couple times, they were offering a woman loan forgiveness last year if they joined storm Z and I think there were convict offers in femal prisons.


Nuke_Knight

I recall them shifting focus the female prisons after they all but emptied the male prisons out, but that was the last I had seen on it and that was months ago, she could have possibly been from one of those prisoners as Russia tends to use women in support roles.

There were reports a few weeks ago that female Russian prisoners can now also fight in Ukraine to avoid having to serve the remainder of their sentence: >Russian women prisoners get $2k/mth offer to fight Ukraine https://timesofindia.indiatimes._com/world/europe/russian-women-prisoners-get-2k/mth-offer-to-fight-ukraine/articleshow/109849745.cms People (including women) with debts are now also being urged to join: >A Russian single mom who owed $8,560 says she was told to pay it off by joining the army https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-mother-with-debt-says-officials-suggested-she-join-army-2023-11 >'Pay or go to war': Scrambling Putin 'forcing' those in debt to fight as recruits dwindle https_://www.express._co.uk/news/world/1830290/putin-russia-recruits-military-debt-scheme Since last year, efforts have generally been made to recruit more women: >Russia boosts efforts to recruit female fighters“ https://www.dw.com/en/russia-boosts-efforts-to-recruit-female-fighters/a-67289702


NegativeAd941

There's a few that have been written about. Only seen video of two though.


Curiouso_Giorgio

I think they're recruiting from female prisons now.


SyCoCyS

They are desperate. They’re out of male prisoners in the jail and are pulling from the women’s prisons now. https://english.nv.ua/amp/russia-starts-drafting-covicted-woman-to-their-army-to-avoid-mobilization-50426171.html


Stigger32

You only need to google search Russian woman soldiers to get a plethora of results. Among them [Lady Death](https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/lady-death-red-army-lyudmila-pavlichenko). It’s not so unusual.


Bass_Thumper

Lady Death is Ukrainian, not Russian.


Stigger32

Well shit. I didn’t read that.


Boeff_Jogurtssen

Where do you get the idea that Russian leadership doesn’t approve of women in combat? Not that I’m defending Russian leadership but… pretty sure you just made that up. 🤔 Why do that? The reds have used female soldiers for ages.

xixipinga

In homophobic racist sexist russia having a female soldier at the front smells like desperarion


ObliviousAstroturfer

"Russia is never as strong and never as weak as it seems". It'd be desperation for meatgrinder units, but these guys had besides better weaponry - the sense to actually aid one of their own. Not enough sense not to do it in red zone, but oh well. Women in special units are a potential, and underestimating your enemy is an easy trapfall. They keep bashing their fucking heads against northern border, and despite being repelled over and over and over, they managed to get sometimes a treeline further, sometimes a trench.: "[Russians send Wounded Soldiers back into the Frontline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzDpAUOvUeQ)" July 2 update by [https://www.youtube.com/@militaryandhistory](https://www.youtube.com/@militaryandhistory) I'm really counting on AFU wiping a proper Ruzzian troop grouping on their side, we know they can pull it off vs a commander speech. Which happended three times, which is not precisely a lot, but still weird it happen thrice.


pun_shall_pass

Russia was one of the first countries to have women as soldiers in modern history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Bochkareva In WW1 they had a few women's battalions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Battalion, in WW2 there were female pilots, sniper units, AA artillery units, radio operators etc. Much of it was born from desperation, in both wars, but it's still worth mentioning. Neither France, Britain, Germany, USA, Japan, China etc. did not employ women in combat roles at that time to my knowledge, even when some were in arguably more dire situations than Russia. Not trying to counter your claim about Russia, just felt like this was worth mentioning.


xixipinga

interesting, it also surprises me how many female soldiers from ukraine we see on this war, i think one element to it is the "we are all comunist comrades" fantasy about equality the russian empire pretended to have for some time maybe russia changed their culture from wwii to today


pictish76

Actually There were several Ukrainian troops that were female on the front line in WW1 or back then Austrian -Hungarian and even commanded troops in the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen.


Dr-Chibi

Among other things


Intrepid_Home_1200

They are indeed...


opusonex

Is that even a question? 


The_Krambambulist

Eh, seems like they still manage to mostly prevent drafting ethnic Russians without any "problematic" label. There is still a lot of people to go, but that is the group which they don't want to scare enough to actually make them do something for a change.


SNStains

Article indicates recruiting from women's prisons is routine now.


greenteawithsugar

They don't care


Cloaked42m

Anything to keep from conscription in the real cities.


Responsible-Tough781

Shandrahyl

They recruit unhappy koreans now. Ofc they are. Nepal wants its men back.


Temporala

Prisoners are perfect fodder for Putin. Population is inclined to think these people deserve death.


jtrom93

I doubt they would have given her good kit and an AK-12 if she were just a meat-wave conscript. I remember photos and videos from a while back that showed mobiks being shipped off with Mosins and plastic toy helmets. I'd venture a guess and say it's a pretty safe bet she volunteered.


SandersSol

Those were the conscripts from the luhansk and donetsk provinces iirc.


Puzzled_Pay_6603

All those alky mobiks scrapping at the airport….I can’t imagine any of them are still alive and kicking.


jtrom93

An invader is an invader. Doesn't matter what's between their legs. It's kill or be killed. Such is the cold reality of war.


Kill3rKin3

I dont know, I have seldom seen someone try that hard to help. And that made the second drone score a 2x. It might matter. ;D


Puzzled_Pay_6603

I’m sure a lot of Russian soldiers have already checked, whether she liked it or not.


jtrom93

Yeah I don't know how much of the r✴pe culture in their ranks is public knowledge in Russia, but I'm sure she wasn't having a very good time even *before* getting vibe checked.


kuldan5853

I agree. The most surprising thing in this video for me was that a Russian soldier actually tried to do proper first aid and help and didn't just gtfo. Well, and we then see why most of them gtfo instead of helping.


random_slav_man

Chances are she had to fight hard to be allowed to do this.


Sabre_One

Mostly a medic.


badwords

It would pretty russian to group all the medics up and rush them in as infantry. Less to payout if they don't come back.


Sabre_One

During the fight, medics on both sides can get stuck on the contact line. Either due to treating some one heavily injured, or it's unsafe to run back.

Kahzootoh

It’s interesting that the Russians are still trying to issue the AK-12 to troops; the weapon has its share of flaws and only really stands out from the previous AK patterns if it has an optic (which most of the Russians used in these attacks don’t seem to have). Drones (or artillery called in by drone spotters) have been killing people right and left, and a daylight assault is basically a suicide mission unless you’ve got a lot of support from other military units (artillery, electronic jamming, etc). 


vicegrip

It's war. She has a rifle pointed at Ukrainians. No choice at all. She got herself killed like every other invader needs to be.


Dunning-Kruger-Inc

Come to Ukraine with a gun with the intent to kill Ukrainians? I don’t care about gender, race, nationality or any other factor. Foreign invaders with murderous intent deserve only one kind of treatment. A high pitched buzz followed by high explosives. I think I’ll go donate some more money to Sternenko today.

She was a drone operator (as a volunteer) and that's why you can see the drone going after her in particular.

joyofpeanuts

A soldier is a soldier, especially if it is an invader, be it a man or a woman. All their deaths for the glory of Putler are equally pointless but necessary, and eventually sad for a human being died who could have lived a good life if RuZZian leadership and culture had not brainwashed them. Sidenote: in the current period, everyone claims to have equal rights. But equal rights goes with equal obligations and equal consequences. RuZZian woman be a RuZZian soldier ? RuZZian woman die like a RuZZian soldier !

xmowx

Yeah, I don't know why you feel sympathy for her, either. May she rest in piss.


Intrepid_Home_1200

Yeah, unless she surrenders, she needs to take a dirt nap just like her male counterparts. I know there are many who have been press ganged into military service in Russia, and are understandably terrified, and don't know what to do but follow their orders for fear of being brutally beaten, raped, robbed and constantly bullied. Gotta feel bad for them for sure. Just imagine working at a warehouse, or going to class, and you are literally pulled off the street and within a few days, you have yourself at some base learning the bare bones basics of how to look and act kinda like a soldier, then sent to war. And surrender? Possible, but if you get caught by your side as a Russian - it's more than likely going to be a slow, horrific death they put you through if it was premeditated. Thing is, we don't know the story of the Russians invading and shooting, so if they are fighting and are a lawful combatant, they are fair game. - Fucking war.

Quazimojojojo

We know. Just, please consider that phrasing it as sexual assault does have some unintended consequences. It's subtle, and seems so small, but it reverberates a lot further than you think. So, please don't. Sincerely: a rape survivor Edit: are y'all seriously down voting me for politely asking? I know not everyone is, but seriously? I thought you were better than that. I thought you were better than kicking an ally of Ukraine when they're already hurting. The person I replied to is better than that. Y'all should follow their example

lol guess its time for a ...witch hunt. WERE BRINGING IT BACK BOYS


dontry90

I mean it in the best way, but maybe some of us older than 25, were raised with that whole "you dont punch a girl" thing, and translate it in these cases. I wouldn't discriminate when retaliating if: I'm justified, and if the magnitude of my response goes according to the situation. This is their "found out" phase in all their extension. If what other users said it's true, that she probably volunteered, then... What goes around...


Bergwookie

When women want to be treated fully equal, then there aren't only equal rights but also equal duties. So if she fights me, she get her wanted beating, the same here, enemy soldier=hunting season is open


zachforever

For sure, as desperate as they are I'm betting on seeing alot more female combatants in vids soon.


Bergwookie

I'd guess, they'll be over 50% brave women who still have the courage to demonstrate , the rest is violent prisoners


Calm-Box-3780

One of the guys (backwoods southern US) I used to serve with used to say, "I put a woman up on a pedastal until she decides to step off of it."

There are no Convention-protected medical personnel in this video. There aren't even any Convention-defined medical personnel, these are all combatants.

I have never seen a Russian given aide to a comrade? I wonder if it was cause she's a she?


KAHR-Alpha

I've seen a few already. Odds are it's pretty rare because we're only shown selected bits of this war, and hitting a soldier that's giving first aid to another probably isn't the best optics (doesn't matter if they have a red cross on them or not). This sub would go apeshit if the same thing was done to an Ukrainian soldier helping a comrade.

Perhaps his "taking timeout of medic duties to shoot" was the deciding factor here.

Not to be 'that guy' idly bitching from a country *not* at war, but the 'music' really screws with the satisfaction of watching the video (and it's becoming a trend).
