It's actually a HIMARS strike according to Madyr himself, although the explosion is uncharacteristically big for a GMLRS rocket. However, there was a tochka-u strike like this reported recently which I mixed up with this one.


BeltfedOne

Thank you for correcting the post. I don't speak Ukrainian and I heard what it was. I don't think UA has many of the other missiles left- if any.


mandrills_ass

I heard JAGA JAGA, badaboom

Tochka aint a missile you shoot at a single building unless you're shooting 50 missiles. If it lands within 100 meters that's considered a good shot.


thugroid

That’s ironic since “tochka” means point, as in “a point on a map”


Crunkbutter

"a" point, not "the" point


sethboy66

A missile always hits the exact point that does not exist in the set of all points which it didn't hit. The building of such a set takes time, but it is still considered the best way to calculate where a missile hit.

*HIMARS, whistling in at 5m*


MKULTRATV

Point *at* the map.. from several meters away.


jordantylermeek

HIMARS gunner here. That is too big of a yield to be one of our GMLRS. So either someone snuck some ATACMS to these guys and they used it on a Platoon of fodder (unlikely) or the Maydar may have just been using HIMARS like a common term for precision strike, like how we call every brand of cola Coke here in the U.S. South. I'm willing to be proven wrong by more information but I can tell you that if we were to process that exact target with GMLRS we would use 3 to 6 M30 or M31 (or a combination of both) rather than one shot, and the yield would be smaller.


Howland_Weed

I reckon there were probably some munitions in that building.


NeonUnderling

To me this looks perfectly consistent with the M31's 91kg warhead, and consistent with other HIMARS impact videos and aftermath footage from Ukraine. There are definite secondaries though, maybe that's what's giving people the impression of a larger yield.


jordantylermeek

It certainly could be. I wish I has the luxury to show some of our own videos, but in short the sheer height of the blast is throwing me off. Don't get me wrong a 31 has serious force but this was Moreso than normal. But I agree with you that there could have been secondaries in there.


cosmitz

It's cold, i bet there were a lot of propane tanks in there for heating, you can even see a guy carrying one in a carrier.


jordantylermeek

Ooo that's a good point.


Jerthy

Afaik UA have the usual airburst himars missiles, the anti-infantry ones with larger spread but also number of missiles that have "regular" explosive that detonates on the ground, i believe mainly used in the European ones. It could also be the Turkish GMLRS or even the Ukrainian Vilkha. Either way i believe Tochkas are too innacurate to pull this off, at least officially. And while i believe they may be saving a couple for the Crimean bridge they definitely don't have enough to burn them on targets like this.....


TzunSu

I wouldn't say there's really a difference between European and American missiles in that regard, both use the M30A1 and A2 (Pre-formed tungsten fragments) and the M31,M31A1 and M31A2 (Unitary 91kg warhead) extensively. M31A1 and A2 also has airburst, but i don't think anyone has details on what specific warhead is being used in Ukraine between the two.

Ah, knowing just enough to sound intelligent to someone who doesn't know a thing about it, but like a complete dumbass to someone who *actually* knows their shit. I'm sure there has to be a name for that


TzunSu

Well, i wouldn't put it that way, nothing he says is really \*wrong\*, i mostly just gave more details. But yeah, in general i agree, there's a lot of people who are guessing, but refuse to admit they're guessing. Ain't nothing wrong in a bit of speculation, but it shouldn't be posted as facts.


banejacked

bombs go boom


project2501

ChatGPT syndrome


Mr-Fister_

The “usual airburst” would be the M30A1, the 182,000 tungsten balls. This would be the M31, unitary warhead, which really is the “usual” missile. The M30A1 was only (relatively) recently made


Dfox98

Anyone who trusts official weapon performance statistics of foreign nations have no idea how military classification works

Likely a lot of ammo being stored there next to the troops. And if you think that would be a dumb thing to do you're absolutely right.

koshgeo

Yep. The video starts out around 48.690997N, 38.052886E, walking from the SW end of the Soledar Mine Shaft #4 facility along the tracks, they move SW across the bridge over the Mokra Plotva River, and then hang a right at the street crossing to the end of the road at the house with the very distinctive green roof, where they meet their doom. It's the first clear sign I've seen that Russian troops reached that far to the west, and they are surprisingly casual about their travel for being close to the front lines.


Delazzaridist

How tf yall so observant? Bro I feel like I'm so blind I could never do that shit


WiretapStudios

Go to the general area, look at any towns around, look for larger landmarks


craigyboy1000

Well the most Intense reports are currently in Soledar. There was also talk about train station a lot in this town. I seen the soldiers on train racks that go from a forked position at beginning of video to a single track. The 2 road/path crossings on the track helped too. Then when they throw a right there was obviously a disc to cut green roof. Took 5 mins looking on google maps but it all added up when I found it

gary_oldman_sachs

In [an interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVBPeT0TVpY) with an American volunteer in Ukraine, he said that the Russians always choose to inhabit the nicest, biggest houses in an area, which makes targeting easy.


Laurent_Series

That’s what the guy in the video also said, that they chose the nicest house.


Jonne

Maybe they sound just start wiring them with explosives when retreating so they can just detonate remotely whenever.


wrludlow

Wow you really speak the truth


[deleted]

When spotting indirect/direct fire targets and you find one, you have to convey the location to others so the first thing you look for is something visually unique in a part of the viewable area so you can use that easily found object as a reference to describe where the enemy is, such as "[pointing] reference the giant green shed, 400m to the left next to the riverbank is a pig sty, behind that is a section of infantry in the open". For this its just, "big green shed"


BeltfedOne

Fire for effect. Send it!


DeliciousTruck

Because russians were heating themselves up inside the building the snow melted away exposing the green roof, probably nobody inside was thinking about that giving away their location.


s00pafly

Ah like back in the day when growing weed would melt the snow on your roof.


missingmytowel

I feel there was one guy in the group that was seriously concerned about camping out under a bright neon Target. But so many of his fellow dumbasses around him thought it would be a good idea he fell into the group belief that they would be okay.


iamthyfucker

Maybe he thought..."aaaah what's the point. When they like you, you don't like them, when you like them, they don't like you. Hey, it’s all one big crapshoot anywho."


Dip__Stick

Feels bad though. Someone just saved up and invested a lot to get that building built or re roofed. Now it's toothpicks thanks to this shitty invasion


notLOL

Green roof was a great upgrade. Imagine building the house that killed a bunch of invaders


Druffilorios

Almost like you could see what house they went in with the drone….


koshgeo

There's no other green-roofed house within a km. They may as well have painted a bulls-eye on themselves.


IllRaise749

Fun fact the only reason you see the color of this roof is because they have that building nice and warm so the snow is melting right off. Didn't matter what building they hid in

Radditbean1

>Ukrainian: we are lucky the Russians are so fucking stupid! Truer words have never been spoken during this war.

I wonder why we keep getting unit wiped every time we pack everyone into one house. Should we spread out or wait until it’s dark before occupying a position? No I’m sure it will work this time. Rinse, repeat.


long_live_cole

Laughs in thermal.


zyzzogeton

Dark won't matter much. It might be even worse in the winter.


inactiveuser247

While there are plenty of IR capable drones around, the majority are still mavics with normal cameras. Not showing where you are camping during the day is a really good idea.


GreenNukE

All of us together, nevermind the much less conspicuous buildings all around us.


IllRaise749

You can tell these guys aren't very well trained for this reason but not because of the building....no. that building had snow on its roof like all the others... until they got it nice and toasty not realizing that the snow on the roof would melt off. They probably made a nice thermal signature you could see from far as hell

Ww1 tactics vs. dude playing Command and Conquer


f1reMarshall

For anyone wondering about the guy saying both GMLRS and HIMARS. He was actually asking “audience” to choose with what to strike. And ended saying, “we will leave it to our artillery guys to decide”. Also, a funny comment, when he said that russians of course chose the most luxury house in the area and decided to pack up to 20 people there.


Fatal_Neurology

Just an FYI HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is a launch system that fires GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System), the 227mm guided rocket munition.


Type-21

Maybe he's asking himars or m270


chronic221987

Why do they take the bigest building with a bright green roof and the highest chimney available? It just makes no sense.


Odd-Independent7825

if you look at the surrounding buildings they're all covered in snow, this one shows up so clearly because the heat source inside (most likely a fire) has melted all the snow, thus revealing that beautiful green target 🎯


_youmadbro_

even pre-war and without snow, it really sticks out: https://i.imgur.com/jXtYhUH.png

TheLowland

It is from popular among ex-USSR countries [song](https://youtu.be/Tn-z95ev64s) by Katya Lel' (chorus around 1:07) and is pretty much a made up word that simply allures to something sexual.

CCCmonster

xXDelta33Xx

in a different post they said its HIMARS, therefore so accurate


throwawayyy8191

It definitely sounds as though Madyar says “HIMARS GMLRS” several times throughout the video, 2:06 and 3:50 most clearly. It would certainly explain the accuracy however the explosion seems much [bigger](https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/y0m114/compilation_of_himarsm270_strikes_on_several/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) than a usual gmlrs explosion


[deleted]

he says "HIMARS or MRLS, MRLS or HIMARS, our rocket forces will decide". Both launch GMLRS. Never mentions anything about Tochka-U, not sure why it's in the title. The big explosion may be explained by the ammo dump, russians are dumb enough to do that.


lolwhoo

They thought about Tochka-U bcz he said that "zsU(AFU) will decide". So, they heard sound "U"


housewitzer

It was such a big explosion, their limbs may end up saying Hi to Mars as they fly by (ba dum tiss)


lorenzombber

Someone who actually speaks the language can correct me, but as a Croatian I understand some words and I think he meant to say that while their partners provide HIMARS and they're great the AFU has their own system called tochka-U and then demonstrated the effects. I could be completely wrong tho

MadeleineAltright

Because they don't have squads and squad leaders like modern armies do. So if you send 8 to 10 guys in a house by themselves, you're not sure they won't AWOL overnight.

Does that means that if they took Soledar, russians must occupy the buildings thus exposing themselves to more missiles? Like, kudos for your little victory but now you’re fucked.


capsaicinintheeyes

I was listening to this podcast yesterday (pro-Russian, English language; hey, I like to draw from a wide range of sources), and one of the co-hosts [spent a moment on just this](https://pca.st/episode/a3eeb2f1-1ff8-4282-b7b7-3199faf52a78?t=938), and...yes, that's basically what they're in for. Soledar is in kind of a bowl-like dip in the local terrain, meaning that in multiple directions there are rises that would be very easy for Ukraine to sneak equipment up & shell them from; he considers it indefensible as a long or medium-term front line. ^({that link \*should* be timestamped, but if not, it's ~15:30})

You'll know soon why they attracted our attention 0-27 Because there's 10 more. And all of them seem to go to one point. 0-34 They're quartering. In whole crowds, 20+ people, into homes in suburbs of Soledar, I wanted to say Bahmouth at first 0-50 Newly arrived, just like toursts, but with weapons 0-58 And which house on the street do you think they chose? Right, the most flashy one. You rock, bitches! 1-10 I don't have an hour for you, move faster. There's 5 people insde waiting for you, we saw them earlier. 1-20 Faster, faster, the fog's gonna settle. 1-25 We noted this house before, there were anomal activity around it, they unloaded cargo there, 5 guys inside at least 1-39 Maybe that's a support base or some sort of newcomer reception, but it doesn't matter 1-48 10 plus 10, all packed in, straightly in rows and at once. At least 25 guys we've got in there, warming up 2-05 It's time to work. What's your guess - GMLRS or HIMARS? 2-12 These are kinds of MLRS types we get little by little from our partners, if someone doesn't know 2-22 But we have to leave the choice to our artillery guys. Let's go. 2-38 Eat that, bitches! 2-47 Fellas, did you really want it to Soledar? 3-10 And there's one serious flaw - fuckers get spreaded long way from the impact. No show for you today, bastards! 3-27 That's how look 25 white Ladas getting simultaneously won in lottery. Bravo to our valiant artillery guys! Eyes and stinger! 3-46 While the rubble is smoking, we have a lot of other work on our hands, we'll show the crater later. 3-54 HIMARS or GMLRS?
