But he said the atrocities were not limited to the Russian side.
"If I give you the honest to God's truth, on the Ukrainian side, we also started pulling off all stops," Elvis said. "We were using anti-aircraft guns on human targets, but we had a limited number of weapons, and that's what we had to use — a 14.5cm AA [anti-aircraft] gun. It's a little bit bigger than a dish gun. I mean the aperture on it is really obvious it's an AA gun. We'd set that up in windows and we'd just f**king annihilate them. I mean fifteen, twenty guys at a time would just [snaps his fingers] — disappear."
He also told of atrocities against the civilian populations in the war zone.
"The thing that people need to realize and emphasize is that they're really good at covering up their war crimes now," Elvis said." They're not doing mass graves anymore; they're burning corpses. They'll take civilians, ask them for information, and if they're military age and they're still in areas that Russians are pushing into, they'll execute them. If they're females, it doesn't matter if they're age 9: they'll rape them, and then kill them. Or they rape them and just keep using them and keep using them until they themselves commit suicide.
"They take corpses, and they love to defile them," he said. "The best way to put this would be in a pure evil, Biblical sense, like impalement, mutilating bodies, leaving them on display for psychological impact. I assume for psychological impact — or maybe they're just completely f***ed in the head."
While on reconnaissance missions, Elvis said he witnessed atrocities firsthand, but was powerless to stop them.
"There have been plenty of times where I was observing them do really f***ed s**t and I just wanted to drop all of them," he said. "But you can't react, because that would have given us away, and that means death. So, unfortunately, you have to make a lot of hard decisions like that. A lot of people think in combat it's just shooting and dodging artillery, but no, it's also sitting and watching a lot of things that, in normal society, no one would see, and not being able to do anything to stop it." 0027番組の途中ですがアフィサイトへの転載は禁止です (ワッチョイW ebaf-LK7m)2023/02/11(土) 23:49:04.00ID:OVoDCl100>>23 ウクライナだけでなくロシアは勿論だし、ユーゴスラビア内戦とかもそうだけど、 スラブ人全般がまだ前近代の野蛮さを残してるところがあるよな。
