1. some young fellas

2. This seems rather safe for a war environment. Or is this deceiving? I know there’s counter artillery but they are in a nice fortified position so it should be fine.

3. Make it rain boys.

4. Don’t you boys have hearing protection?

   WHAT?

5. Ahhh, the bone rattling boom of a howitzer. <3

6. Their clothes are not appropriate for the weather in march.

7. YO I CANT HEAR ANYTHING

8. Get these guys some eye and ear protection.

9. It makes me cringe, this is why we provide ear protection. So many young defenders with hearing issues.

10. Bro I wanted to see the howitzer fire not these kids covering their ears lol

11. Omg let’s send them some ear pro so they don’t bankrupt future Ukraine with veterans hearing loss claims !

12. Isn’t standing inside that structure just going to make the noise even worse for their ears?

13. From experience, I can say that covering/plugging your ears works just as well as most ear pro.
    The bigger concern is how the concussive force is trapped in that enclosed space. That’ll do a number on your insides (and brain!).
