I love that they don't feel the need to be masculine to bad ass, you can have your makeup on and go kick ass!

Stop using TikTok for those. China is asshoe.

Almost all of these shots are photo ops. The people in em might be serving on the frontline, but these shots are def not from there.

My understanding is that Russian military's pretty macho, so is it more humiliating that they can't steamroll a Ukrainian army of 20% women?
TheWombatStrikesAgain
But angry tv man said an army not being super manly was a bad thing! You telling me that was a lie?

if you are a female US Veteran, register at the memorial in D.C. here. it's missing the names of 90% of women who have served.

Sure, but fuck TikTok. That is all.

Why?
BlueLanternBraxx
Don't worry, Imgur gets all the cool videos a few weeks later. Like waiting for that VHS to come out, eh, remember tapes? I bet you do.

Tiktok is no better or worse than apple. Why do people assume anyone trusts usa more than China?
IWishIHadABetterNickName
Yes they steal your data, your face for facial recognition and manipulate young generation with shit videos
ElBarbu
Tiktok ain't that bad, lots of great content
HeywouldJablowme
Why? I can't imagine that the app that collects more data than all other apps combined and owned by China would be helping Russia?
Ivalicenyan
There's more to it than justified Chinese paranoia. The most important thing wrong about TikTok is it's censorship policy or lack thereof-
TikTok does a piss-poor job of policing it's content. Even less than Facebook. The problem with having next to no censorship means that-
All the popular fake shit, like conspiracies, lies, propaganda, Covid hoaxes, election hoarders, Racist and maga supporters all not only-
Just look at all the harm Libs of tiktok has already done.
Get their stupid voices out in the open, joining in the world's largest confirmation bias circle jerk, but their content gets in pushed on-

Bodies in armour, bodies carrying weapons. Don't matter who they are as long as they can do their duties.
Sajgoniarz
Yeah, makeup on the front, that makes sense.
When you ask people to participate in a video shoot, they're going to want to look presentable. I wouldn't read anything more into that.
fartalert
For those who spent years wearing makeup, it’s an important factor to confidence. War paint
SwankyPotato
I love the idea of beautiful Ukrainian women shooting Russian orcs but I must say I’m a bit skeptical about the truthfulness of this video
MrJackedBroccoli
You mean you don't do your eyebrows, makeup and earrings before going into a litteral fucking war zone? Pfff...
TsubakiTragic
Ukraine is miles ahead in the PR war vs russia.
Velisity
There is a sub on Reddit that has thousands of war videos uploaded by Ukrainians, not one has a female in it in battle.
I've seen videos and pictures where many of the soldiers are fully masked with scarves and such. I wouldn't be able to tell.
pierremanslapper
My guess would be that women aren’t at the front. Probably in logistics and support roles. Still important if you wanna win a war.

Bigger part of women in army are medics. Also plenty of machinery crewmen https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DNKh-kVEbF8

I know it's for a good cause, but propaganda as blatant as this is challenging to tolerate.
I'd give er a good propa ganda, if ya knowutimean, nudge nudge

Do you prefer your propaganda concealed?

"Saint" Olga is a testament to that. Asking two pigeons from every household in a city her army is sieging as a symbol of their surrender,↓
↑only to light the pigeons on fire and send them back to the city which set the entire city aflame. Saint Olga went full fire and blood.
TeeweeAndSmashboy
Sounds totally real, too. /s
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
Well, the story isn't that she set the *birds* on fire, but that she had her people attach pieces of sulfur wrapped in cloth to the birds, ~
~ set *those* on fire, then released the birds to fly home. Still far-fetched, but better than birds literally burning while flying home.
Spiked
Oh it's a real legend
EmotionallyCrippled
I hope they get safely home. I don’t want to think about what those orcs would do to them if they got captured
Darkboi14
Nah they ton die first ?
certainlynotaserialkiller
so far they are way too busy running away to think about capturing

Keep a grenade handy. For close encounters.
Watching LOTR right now.

HEY. No racism. Orcs are people too. Just cuz they're a BAD guy doesn't mean they're a . . . bad GUY.

Even if that was valid for a risk analysis like that, having non-bad individuals isn't enough. They have to be willing to defend prisoners1/
from the bad guys too. 2/2

Tiktok is a terrible app to use for Opsec. Especially considering China trades with Russia and could easily share location info.
1ways2
Don’t worry. It’s Just a photoshoot for social media. Nobody wearing makeup there…
[deleted]
HedonistBeard
Thing is it's not up to ByteDance. The chinese government has direct data access without oversight.
What risk is there? If they reveal a few troupe positions to russia it's not like anyone will ever find out how they got them.
BradBehavior
This could be someone else's tiktok edit.
DairyCat
It's women in makeup walking through scenic fields for a photoshoot. They want as many eyes on this as possible. Why even bring up Opsec lol
YuffaloDOTcom
Tiktok is a terrible app period
Excludos
This isn't posted live from their location... duh
ihugpeople
I agree with Tiktok being problematic for Opsec, however, Ukraine is doing well in the war, so however the soldiers are using the app, works
TheDaharMaster
Nobody cares that TikTok is Chinese spyware:(
eleanorugby
Wow, they never thought of that! Have you considered a career in military consulting? You could help the Ukrainians clean up their act.
ElroydIsGone
I doubt, that the shooting site of a PR video in a random field far away from the front is that big of a strategic secret, though.
MiniYams
When there's 1 account for multiple people, do you have any reason to believe that any of these people actually posted to tiktok?
stayingalive4life
I was just thinking the same and was about to say that.

They have orders to delay social media posting by a few weeks or so. Nobody there is posting real time.
TheobromineAddict
Nobody except dumb Russians are posting realtime.
BrotherEstapol
It's the app that tracks you, not the posts. It is litterally spyware.
doesntmatter
I mean. Orders, sure. But someone is, still.
IOnlyNeedOneBall
Yeah everyone listens to those unerring right?
vinny8boberano
The problem is that they have the app, and are recording with it. Unless they are doing everything in airplane mode...bad idea.
Joylove
If they have the app installed it’s running AI on your library and send it back to the Tencent servers. You don’t need to be using it.
CAustinC0x
Oh no, lol. Most of the "profitable" (and Psy Ops) videos are edited and then uploaded or broadcast as live through something like OBS.
maqp2
The phone is probably off most of the time to conserve battery anyway. Most connections are via Starlink so you have to be in a 1/
blaghart
lol no they aren't. If the connections are on tik tok via starlink you're literally telegraphing all your intel to Russia.
dedicated upload point, post combat mission where you get good OPSEC support for stripping metadata etc. These folks aren't dumb. 2/2
arthurvanhoudt
No but tiktok gathers an incredible amount of data, which you don’t want anyways. I do not use it!!
AntiProtonBoy
Still terrible opsec.
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
Having it at all is terrible opsec. It’s a Chinese intelligence-gathering tool.
