On February 24th 2022, Russia attempted (and failed) to blitzkrieg the sovereign nation of Ukraine. Almost two years later as of this writing, the resultant war is still ongoing. Slavshit is where content pertaining to that goes.
This category is primarily for videos and pictures of combat and casualties, but discussion amongst those impacted it is also encouraged. This, along with /h/sandshit, for the current incarnation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, seeks to chronicle the real, raw, unfiltered impact of modern conflicts which are a far cry from the fairly straightforward wars of yesteryear. WatchPeopleDie.tv will serve as an ongoing, citizen-led catalog of what is really happening on the ground and how it impacts those who live there, be they Ukrainian or Russian. Our independent and unsponsored status allows us to serve the sort of content that mainstream media networks, online and televisted, could never get away with broadcasting and wouldn't even if they could as they aim more than anything to push a sanitized, partisan agenda of their own. We are beholden to none, and any legal media is welcome here so long as it is related to the events unfolding. Vitriolic discussion is inevitable as well; the cost of war cannot be counted in bodies alone, and the sectarian, interpersonal conflicts that flare up between countrymen and neighbors is often minimized and overlooked. Let the discourse here immortalize that for all to see.
RULES
Upvotes and downvotes both increase the ranking of posts equally in this category. Downvoting is still discouraged unless something is genuinely low quality, though with emotions running high amongst third worlders, downvotes when one's pet side looks bad or loses in a video seem to be the norm. And so downvotes cannot serve to censor inconvenient reality here.
Calls for genocide are of questionable legality, and WatchPeopleDie.tv does not aim to end up in a landmark court case seeing where the line is exactly. Don't call for the eradication of people, whether they're Ukrainians, Russians, whatever.
This is true site-wide, but bears repeating here: WatchPeopleDie.tv is not Reddit. People are going to be mean to you. They're going to call you names. They're going to insult your beliefs. This is allowed. Stop reporting people for disagreeing with you or hurting your feelings or whatever. This clutters up the report queue which we use to get rid of spam, reposts and actually illegal content.

Damn, the effective range of that mortar blast is terrifying. They were a good distance away from it, but they got fucking shredded by the shrapnel. Wonder what kind of round it was?
Fucked up thing about mortars/artillery, is if you can hear it coming, you're probably safe from it, especially if you get down and eat dirt- they managed to avoid one shell they heard coming in, dove down, got back up, and were standing totally upright when the next one landed and wrecked them. They didn't hear it till it exploded, I'd wager.

I think Hollywood really missed out on how scary these things really are, big fireballs kind of gets boring compared to how much damage a single one of those hundreds of metal fragments flying at you faster than you can blink

It's amazing how much media molds general perception. Usually, the less impressive-looking an explosion from a weapon like this, the more shrapnel is packed in there. A big fireball means more fuel in the projectile, or that it struck something that cooked off.
Show this video to someone who has no idea about this kind of shit, and they'll probably ask "Why'd they just fall over like that? That thing didn't hit anywhere near them, are they stunned? Why didn't they get up and run?"
It's like... no, man. Well, yeah, I'm sure they're stunned, but they're also absolutely riddled with little bits of metal and earth. They didn't run because most of their guts have been rearranged.

There's a 2-part video of the battle for "T-shape". You can see a small, surrounded Ukrainian force repelling an overwhelming Russian advance by calling in artillery strikes literally on top of themselves:

Using mercenaries is technically a war crime and they can be executed for it.

Mercenaries is just what salty Russians call them, but they've formally joined the Ukrainian Army as the Ukrainian Foreign Legion. The line is blurry, e.g Wagner is a classic mercenary group for hire around the world, but in Ukraine, they're coordinating with the actual Russian Army, while there is an equivalent Foreign Legion in the Russian Army for foreign volunteers.

You're confused with freedom fighters who fight for free.
Wagner Private Military Company are mercenaries murdering and getting killed in Ukraine for money or criminals with a get out of jail card after six months surviving the grinder.
