Very close distance ambush on two unsuspecting Russians by the Ukrainian intelligence officers from the “Timur” unit while conducting reconnaissance behind enemy lines. Date unknown.
Forgot to include it but its near the village of Tavilzhanka, Kharkiv region.
Random question that this video made me think of: I wonder how many bodies are just left in the woods unclaimed. Like, there has to be tons, right? I mean, this war will eventually end, and someone will be taking a hike through the woods and trip over Ivan’s bones at some point! Crazy to think about living here in the US. We are blessed.
Close hits, greatly timed. Glory to all heroes 🇩🇪🤝🏼🇺🇦🔱
Wow, imagine just walking along, minding your own business and the next second you’re russian.
that is insanely close
Hi there, I think this sub can help me answer some questions. I greatly appreciate it! I’m a novice at this kind of stuff, so expect stupid questions! Wiki and Google didn’t help much with this.
From my basic understanding, a recon unit goes in, does recon stuff, gets out, leaves no trace, or anyone sees them. If compromised, mission over/cancelled and gtfo/evade in one piece, fight anyone that tries to stop them. With good training, good intel, good gear, good support, and a lot of luck, I assume, the chances of mission success or even evading without deaths/capture go up.
**My question is, what do we call units that do this, PLUS deliberately get into contact with the enemy?**
I remember seeing vids of SOFs doing ambushes, raids, blowing up stuff deep behind enemy lines(for this conflict), but I assume that they would do recon ops when not intending to fight. I see terms like saboteurs, but I don’t know if that applies to military units (I only see it for like civilian collaborators, but I could be wrong). I guess generally they are SOF, but is there a military term for this type of stuff? Maybe offensive recce? Overt recon patrol? (made up terms in my mind, probably not legit.) Perhaps that’s a separate entity with different training and missions set? If that is the case, I would think the recce unit works together with them to make the offensive missions work. Probably overcomplicate this, but I’m interested as I think recce stuff is cool, and any info would be appreciated!

So what the guy (and his unit) is doing is reconnaissance behind enemy lines. I guess that it its similar to [Long Range Recon Patrol (LRRP)?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_reconnaissance_patrol#Long-range_reconnaissance_patrol_by_nation)
