So kind of Ukrainians to return the shells back to the owners! I'm happy to support such nice people :)

" Because it's needed. That's our job: we are defending Ukraine. " Perfectly said. Fight for freedom from the fascist oligarchs.

Its a privilege to hear the voices of these brave men in the frontline. Thank you.

You guys are amazing and love your attitudes. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Canada 🇨🇦

The soldier humming at the start of the video as he prepared the artillery - just another day at the office 💥💥Slava Ukraini ❤❤UK

We're All Proud of Ukraine, And their Brave Army ! GOD BLESS UKRAINE!!!

What a postal service - sending back the goods free of charge!

it may sound silly but this was beautiful! This is the place where it is said: "No greater love has man than to lay down his life for fellow man."

Returning the Russian mortar shells back to their owners is a generous act of good will. Well done Ukraine!

Thank you for the continual quality of footage and content you provide. You've become a favourite source of both news and human interest stories. Your coverage of the conflict in Ukraine deserves mention, with a special focus on those courageous journalists and camera operators who make this possible. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

So nice of them to return what they had forgotten to take with them, always very considerate! * jokes aside massive respect to the Ukrainian forces, you are fighting like lions for all of Europe - slava ukraini!

Being on the heavy mortar team is the most scary job I can imagine. You're only JUST far enough away to avoid direct fire, but any blitz advance from the enemy and you could be staring down the barrel of a tank real quick if there's even the smallest communication or detection error. Secondly you are, by necessity, always within range of heavy artillery. Even the (slightly inferior) Russian 152mm are automatically within range of you even if they cannot reach their western 155mm counter-parts who generally hang back as far as they can (for this reason). TL;DR: These guys have big heavy brass nuts! I'm a retired artilleryman of the Danish army, so I know what I'm talking about.

Ukraine seems to have got a good balance of being able to capture equipment and vehicles whilst at the same time destroying equipment and vehicles

Keep safe brave Ukrainian soldiers - you are in my prayers. Glory and victory to Ukraine - from South Africa💙💛🌻🌻

Best wishes to Ukraine her Armed Forces and People 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Such a wide range of ages in the Ukraine Army 20s,30s,40s,even some look to be grizzled 50s like me 😏 not in this video but others. I think having those experienced older soldiers is a good balance with the younger men mobilized the past few months.

LOL! You know you're about that lyfe when you're smoking around artillery ammunition. 2:01

Slava to all of Ukraine,🇧🇦🇺🇦🇧🇧👍👍👍👍👍💙💛💕💕💕💕Yous Got the Power Go Go Go Ukraine 😘🇧🇦🇧🇧🇺🇦

Get 'em boys!!!

Glory to the brave fighters of Ukraine 🇺🇦

go ukranians go🇺🇸👍

That soldier at the beginning singing "la la la la la.."🤣 He must be like "Okay, I drank my coffee, now time to get to work on yet another monday"

Those clever Ukrainians! What will they think of next?

_“My friends, where are you going?! You've left these behind! Please, allow us to kindly return them to you!! 💙💛”_ -Ukrainian Soldiers, probably 😏 Stay strong. Stay united. Stay alive. *_STAY UKRAINIAN!_* Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! ✊🇺🇦 🔱 _EDIT: Yea, alright, I should've known there without be dozens of this type of comment lol It's just what I immediately thought based on the video title, alone!_

Send those shells back to them as fast as you can. They deserve no sympathy after what they have done 💯% love from Wales UK. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦

Boomerang springs to mind. LSA !! 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

Praying for Ukraine from Azerbaijan! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿

Outstanding segment from the front. Thanks for the report.

I really hope that they're rotating these guys back. I can't imagine keeping it up since Feb

I worked on mortar crews while a soldier in the US Army. Mostly the M-30, 107mm heavy mortar. My question is how can you maintain a set placement of the mortar gun when the baseplate moves around after you fire the mortar shell? You adjust fire with a stable baseplate. How can you account for gun stability when your baseplate moves all over the place?

This is called True Son on Mother's Land ❤️ from India 🇮🇳🙏😊 Long live Pracident Zenelasky🇺🇦 ❤️

Prayers for the Ukrainian people and soldiers

So kind of you to return their ammo to them 😀

Great guys! Slava Ukraini! Those mortars give a fair old bang! Awesome!

Slava Ukraini from Brazil !!! Brave People !!!

He said that "mortars are artillery too". Makes me smile. During the last great hate-fest in the '40s on these Ukrainian fields facing the Russians, we called our mortar platoons Zigeuner Artillerie (gypsy artillery) because they were wanderers just like us infantry. And this was also a joke, given the small size and relative weakness of mortars in comparison to the regular artillery.

Need sandbags on the base plate & bipod legs. Makes returning to aiming point faster.

These are the guys that make things happen. It tough work. God bless them.

support for Ukraine 🇺🇦 from the USA 🇺🇲

Well, they need to be careful in using the Enemy's ammo. Old Battle trick - booby-trap ammo amd leave for your enemy to "find" and use... One-use only, because they explode or something You guys be careful! Slava Ukraini!

Good job guy's keep on fighting 👏👍 but pirate has too secure mortar little bit better 🤗

seems real accurate with that jumping baseplate lol

When you think of negotiations to end the aggression think of these brave soldiers putting their life on the line…give nothing, nothing to Putin.

Notice the reference of the war starting in 2014. February 27th was just an escalation.

I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of one of those things, in VN. They are very loud when they hit, sounds like being close to a lightning bolt, it cracks.

I can't believe how calm these Ukrainian heroes are. They are talking about the war just like 9 to 5 office job. Glory to Ukraine

Go easy and stay safe guys. Slava Ukrainian

Blessings, peace and luck from California to Ukraine 🙏🙏✌✌🍀🍀💙💙💛💛

I notice the guy at the end wax smoking around the ammo. Careful, guys!

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the brave Ukrainian soldiers

*Achievement unlocked* "Return to Sender"

what did they tie to the bottom of those shells? additional explosives? the propellant charge is in the shell, isn't it?

Ah a good old fashioned “return to sender”

The Ukrainian Forces must be the worlds mpst effective air delivery postal service. All the ammunition the -retreati...- fleeing Russians left as a -gesture of goodwill- is now being *returned to the Russians with highest accuracy.* These mortar teams, they are far closer to their opposition than their adversary RU howitzers. Every time they fire they know return fire shells are coming back on their position in a few minutes. Brave guys! *Slava Ukraini! - Heroyam Slava!* - Stay safe!

Achievement Unlocked: Return to sender

Glory to Ukraine. Great job heroes keep safe

History repeating itself, every since the first enemy throwing back your spears and stones

Its so heartwarming to see that both sides being so considerate of each other Russians were kind enough to gift those shells to Ukraine and Ukraine was all like, "Aww you really dont have to. Here, we're giving them back to you ❤️"

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine WILL WIN THIS WAR!! THANKS TO ALL THE BRAVE SOLDIERS YOU ARE ALL HEROES!!!

Slava Ukraini!

Slava Ukraine 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦

The problem here is that Russian troops are taking defensive and firing positions in civilian areas.

Add four sandbags on the base plate evenly. This will reduce the movement. Good Luck to you all!!!

前線レポートありがとうございます。レポーターさん、スタッフの皆さんどうかご無事でありますよう。

Hello from N.Y.C. AMERICA here. I'm a novice and don't understand a lot of what's going in with the motors. Can someone plz be so kind to exola3 why theirs a cloth tied around the ends of the Millie is plz? I'm sure it's for some type of sucksion and security but can someone who knows for sure explain. I would very, very greatfull to you and would send you something from America you can use if u leave me a proper email address without compromising yourself. That's the most important thing. Up ur safety. I'm assuming that the wet cloth is for suction? Yes no ? But thank you kindly and God Bless you as we pray for your Victory that will come without a doubt. The Ukrainian people will soon be dancing in the streets of Crimes I promise you cause you'er so brave. Never have I've seen a more determined army in the 21 fst century like the Ukrainian soldiers...no in fighting, no disobeying orders, almost no spying or traders, I only saw one day bastered giving HYMARS positions but he was quickly dealt with. Now that's patriotic to be proud of. Your people come and will always come first. Never ever give in, you have them on the ropes, Putin has no where to go, his faction is only days from collapsing. Pls don't stop and watch...youll be celebrating in the Square with your true people. God Bless Slava Ukraine. 🇺🇦 💪 🇺🇸

It is very sad that in this day and age wars cost many lives because of someone's inhumane interests

Gloria Ucrania...!!!

Slawa Ukraini 👍🙏💪🤘🤘🤘💪🙏👍

💪🇺🇦

The Russian soldiers forgot their weapons and wholesale ammunition in their flight. The Ukrainian soldiers are very fair, they return the ammunition in detail one by one. Success and total support to the people and the Ukrainian army.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the True Hero's. I support Ukraine. Slava Ukraine.💙💛

I hope you love the new hardware. Keep up the good work!! 🇺🇸🇨🇦🤝🇺🇦

У меня отец в Тер Обороне - так говорит... Все пулеметы производства завода «Маяк» на Петровке или Почайне - все бракованные ... Не один не работает

I'm no expert, but I don't think the entire mortar is supposed to jump into the air

SLAVA UKRAINE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great job boys! 🇺🇦

Can anyone share what the purpose of the rope around the tailshaft is... Is it the propellant charge? Is it a field-modification? If so... - is it to _increase_ drag and make it drop elsewhere AND hit at a different time from the report? - or is it to add ballast and change its trajectory (and fly a bit further)? Thanks! 💙💛 Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava! ✊🇺🇦 🔱

I haven't a clue how mortars work, but wouldn't it help to weigh down that mortar plate with a few stones to stop it from flying up like that when firing? Maybe then they wouldn't need to keep re-adjusting the mortar every time and could fire more often.

Just like a Browning against a MG-42… My money is on the artillery.

Keep up the good work guys, here in England were running out of Electric and Gas.

Got to stand on that base plate boys

How do you aim a mortar? Is there a compass in there and a protractor and then you have to calculate the ballistics yourself?

God bless the brave Ukrainian army,all the Greeks support Ukraine 🇺🇦,go Ukraine.

GOD, PLEASE BLESS THESE BRAVE UKRAINIAN MEN !!!!!!!

Poor people on the both sides. Feel so sorry for them.

Slava Ukraine get em guys💯👊🏼🇺🇦🌻💙💛

Thanks for sharing this!

Praying for Ukraine from France! 🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰

Im wondering if they actually know where those shells will land or not.

All politics aside, It’s a different fight when you fight for the love of your family, your Country and your future. Get it Ukraine. 👍

Glory to the heros, Glory to Ukraine! Slava Ukraine! Salute!

Glory to the most badass country in the world. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 💙💛🇺🇦🌻 Heroyam Slava ✊💪🏅

*Return to sender*

That baseplate moved a hell of a lot. Does that affect the accuracy?

Slava Ukraine. Glory to the heros!!!

You just can't make this stuff up...The Ukrainians are badass!!! 🇺🇦 VICTORY 🇺🇦 UKRAINE 🇺🇦

Civilian question: Mortars are not suppose to fly off the ground like that so easily right? It looks like a larger sized mortar so I would expect it to move but shouldn't you dig that disc part down into the ground to prevent it from bouncing like that or is it suppose to be like that?

Write "To Vlad. Love and salutations, Vlod" on all of them, lol. 😂🤣😂

Victory to Ukraine, home of the brave and free Ukrainians.

Damn that has a kick! Awesome! Stay strong Ukraine! You've got this! Viking prayer!
