🧵thread on fake "ukrainian body cam footage", as there is another one making the rounds. again released by RUDENKO, who are responsible for some of the dumbest fakes of the war.

i will go over previous bullshit from RUDENKO and then explain why this one is cringe as well

these fake body cams are produced to obviously demoralize as in "this will happen to you, resistance is futile, russia is inevitable".

vatniks will then tweet "so sad that we are so successful and have to kill so many, poor ukrainians forced by the west 😔😔😔"

all i have to say is shout-out to the VDV in klischiivka.

RUDENKO already gave us the classic "bakhmut organ harvesting by german doctors".

it involved costumes, props, a set, a script, you name it. i won't even get into this one, just enjoy the hilarious fake-german. it is schizo and humiliating, but that fits the russian federation.

the next RUDENKO masterpiece involves a fake body cam from a staircase. this one is particularly funny because it involves a weird mix of NATO weapons, one of those being an M4 rifle without optics or iron sights. just an empty rail.

for those that are not into guns: there is no way to aim that rifle. nobody would grab that and go into combat. nobody.

i do appreciate how the actors drop like a sack of potatoes though. great stunt work.

clip involves burning debris and real weapons firing. very elaborate. https://t.co/zKXCQb97cMtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

now, the new release. it is funny because it involves a fake blood bag.

once the actor pops it, you can see him adjust the body cam away from what he just did.

because the first thing you do once you realize a major artery is pumping out gallons of blood is adjust your GoPro.

no, humans don't have blood pockets that spurt out one big gulp. this is like a tarantino movie and then just... stops.

i have put a sensitive content warning on these because i don't want to argue with twitter support. there is no violence here though

to make it more believable the clip ends with another actor shooting a tight grouping next to our protagonist.

problem is you can see the gases exiting the muzzle within the frame.

meaning the guy that is firing that gun is standing right next to the camera & misses on purpose

if you don't know what i mean, here is an extremely professional visualization of what's happening here

vatniks will obviously just say "cope" and believe all of this is real. the reality is of course ukrainians are dying. we can accept that, they need more support.

but thankfully here it is just a bunch of ivans being cringe and these clips get pumped out for narrative control

a key russian narrative right now is that ukraine has fielded 4 armies, hundreds of thousands died, the west has tricked ukrainians into resisting (lmao) and the "kiev regime" does not have the interest of the population at heart.

none of that is true, of course.

this narrative was decided on before the war even started, but they went really haywire on this one in recent months. on all channels: grayzone, ritter, kennedy, mcgregor, all of them.

from december 2021, months before the renewed invasion:

visceral clips like this help someone like jackson hinkle to push that "stop deceiving these poor ukrainians, their defeat is inevitable" button

and of course, to demoralize the average ukrainian soldier or person that thinks about signing up - "this will be you"

and that is why they put so much energy into faking these. they are so elaborate that even pro-UA people will accuse me of coping because it is only little details that give them away (not the organ harvesting one though lmao). i won't get into arguments about it

for no particular reason, i will end this thread with the aftermath of the russian VDV dismounting straight into their death in klishchiivka. it's just so funny and bewildering
