This is Arma 3 or DCS footage. Notice that the smoke sprites are circular and fade out after a set time - real smoke doesn't disperse like that.

It's a Russian propaganda channel aimed at English speaking audiences. Don't take it as gospel.

They have to report truthfully to earn the trust of the target audience that is predisposed to mistrust them, however, the UK is an enemy nation and now they're swapping from white (true) propaganda to black (false) propaganda as agitprop against a hostile force.

They're not even doing it seriously, they're obviously having fun bullshitting and lying for a change because that isn't usual their task.

Chinese/North Korean "human wave" tactics are where you heavily arm a small number of infiltrators (we're talking each person is strapped with like 12 grenades, fastened onto a wooden board on your chest, or just sitting in a bag) and you sneak up close to a line/bubble of enemy defenses. You overwhelm them with a massive amount of firepower concentrated on a small area of their defenses, then rush in. If that team fails, another follows up and attempts to do the same. This minimizes casualties because you're exposing the fewest number of people to do the dangerous work. Once you've caused a breach, the other 50 soldiers you had hiding rush into action, pouring through the gap in the lines and attacking the enemy from inside their own fortifications in the confusion.

It's less of a "human wave" and more of a "human dam breach".

During the Korean war, this terrified US soldiers so much that they complained their M1 Garand rifles couldn't penetrate Chinese winter coats. In reality, they were either missing in terror, or just didn't have the time to react before they were forced to give up.

Unfortunately, trade protectionism can work pretty well.

It's naptha produced in India from Russian oil, presumably on the way to Britain.

If I was a civilian benefiting from and supporting an apartheid regime, it would be very tragic for the brutal savages we keep locked up in a city sized cage to escape and kill me.
