[NSFL] Russians tried to false surrender. Rus - “we are surrendering, blyat”. Ukr - “so come out, blyat”. Russians then throw a grenade out of the dugout, but it was spotted before it killed anyone (streamable.com)

Translated from source:

The Russians were kicked out and the exchange fund was replenished. Work of the 3rd company of the 2nd mechanized battalion🇺🇦 3 OShBr in the direction of Bakhmut. Assault positions and close combat.

Losses on the part of the Russians are 12 - 200, 2 - 300. And three more - for exchange. There could have been more prisoners, but only three accepted the offer to surrender and save their lives.

Just another checkbox on ruzzian speedrun to break all the geneva convention rules. This week: Perfidy

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Also something everyone else learned is not a good idea as perfidy results in the enemy assuming you are doing it and executing anyone wounded or actually trying to surrender. But Russia seems to have missed most of the memos documenting what actually did and didn't work during WW2 - like if you actually want someone to surrender, try not to rape, torture and kill all their civilians and soldiers, as that tends to make the rest of them angry.

They might be doing it just for this though. To prevent actual russians that want to surrender doing it, you convince the other party that it's usually a trick, so no more accepting surrenders. Then you go back to your own and tell them 'there, now nobody will believe you. you have to fight for us or die'. between this and the brigades hunting down deserters, it's a really nasty spot to be in for those that don't want to fight. Back to fragging then?

Thanks, I intend to use "perfidious" as soon as possible.

Definitely would not want to be the guy walking out trying to really surrender.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thats what I was thinking. Situations like this would definitely turn me into a war criminal.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Afaik it's fair game to kill anyone fake surrendering.

[+] [email protected] -22 points 11 months ago (3 children)

no it's not...if you have the chance to take them down without force or violence you have to do it. That is what differs us from the russians.

"Those are the rules, Mom said so."

If they're fake surrendering, they aren't really giving you the chance though, are they?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 11 months ago

depends. As you see in the video thei got them after all, so no reason to execute them because they are POWs then.

But that's not the case here? Orc rolled a grenade out after saying he was surrendering. Pretty sure they don't have to treat him as surrendering at that point, no?

[+] [email protected] -16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

well in the end he did surrender, so he is still a POW and should be treated like one. And before you downvote me again, I dont condone the grenade throw...I just imply to treat a POW like a POW if are able to catch him, even if he acted like a cunt.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So just keep walking up to the Ukranian lines saying you surrender until you get close enough to throw a grenade.

Throw grenade, then immediately resume surrendering. This one war hack will blow your mind!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

He wasn't a prisoner until he was disarmed and captured. Until then, he was an active combatant.

The fact he just used perfidy and then failed means the Ukrainians had valid excuse to make him and anyone else in that contact into cat meat. The fact they didn't, speaks volumes to their high character and professionalism.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

After the Ukrainians took him in then of course he's a POW. This is discussing the moments before then.

That grenade was a death warrant for every russian in that dugout, while they were still in that fighting position

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago

I thought the discussion was about why they did not execute him after that...

If he would get shot right adternthw throw, it would be his fault but I was talking about the moment when he was outside on his knees.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I didn't downvote you but since you care about that, now I have. What a bitch thing to say lol

[–] [email protected] -5 points 11 months ago

lol 😂

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Yeah they just threw a grenade. That means all suggestion of them surrendering was moot.

The fact that they lived is thanks to the Ukrainians being extra nice.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Aside from being the moral thing to do (albeit totally understandable if they hadn't)

They know they are filming and doing it this way is good optics

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

How in the fuck did they not execute that second one? I'm going to shoot that one a couple times in the stomach and let him bleed out slow after the first one.... Crazy self control.
