Insane footage from the Sudzha pipe operation here. An absolute must-watch.
It's hard to comprehend the scale and difficulty of this mission. Getting enough oxygen and water into the tunnel, setting up the logistics (soldiers need ammo! They need food!), dealing with the physical challenges — walking 15km through a narrow tunnel with a low ceiling (my back hurts just thinking about it) —, the psychological pressure, the darkness... and yet...

They sent several hundred soldiers through that tunnel. Everyone always had enough food and water. After exiting the tunnel, the soldiers immediately went on a forced march and into battle — they captured several key strongpoints, set up a perimeter defence & held the line until their comrades broke through to them.

This was a genuinely superhuman feat. Not just the march, not just the sheer amount of soldiers that crossed that pipe, but, after going through this nightmare willpower challenge, IMMEDIATELY going into combat, and WINNING, kicking the enemy out of his trenches and strongpoints, disrupting his logistics, causing chaos and panic in his rear, and then absorbing the pushback while fully encircled on all sides — it's UNBELIEVABLE. And yet we know it happened! We have videos! We've seen the map change dramatically over a few days!

Again, I absolutely do not believe that men nowadays are somehow less brave or heroic than previous generations. This operation was one for the history books, to be talked about in a hundred years. I'm tempted to call these men demigods or some other epithet. But they're not. They're just Russian soldiers...

As for the enemy, they do what they always do. The pipeline operation caused mixed reactions in the Ukrainian camp: it simultaneously never happened, and also all the troops that were inside the pipeline were killed immediately upon exiting, and also they all suffocated on the way there. And the frontline collapsed, because... Well, they haven't really talked about that yet. But who cares.

They've taken fat Ls in similar ways twice before — at the 'Tsarskaya Okhota' strongpoint, which contributed to the fall of Avdeevka, and near New York. But those ops were small-time compared to going dwarf mode like the AIDA lads and the 30th Motor Rifles did... It's unprecedented, really.

And if every Ukrainian soldier now has nightmares about Russian soldiers coming out of every pipe he sees, well, that's even better.

Go watch this footage of one of the craziest operations of this war yet.
