Bunny's Tactical Tips for Urban Warfare for my friends in Ukraine

Urban warfare is a harrowing and intense battle environment. Having experienced similar challenges in Iraq, I want to offer some insights that may be of value to the defenders of Kiev, Ukraine. These tactics are born from hard-learned lessons and may help you navigate this difficult terrain.

1. **Stay Off the Streets:** I can't stress this enough. Urban warfare is brutal, and being caught outside is a recipe for disaster.


2. **Doors Are Fatal Funnels:** Doors are tempting entry points. Aim your weapons at them to maximize your firepower.


3. **Block Entrances:** Use anything you can find to block doors from the inside, making it seem unblocked to invaders.


4. **Stairways Are Kill Zones:** Block stairways to slow down enemy advances.


5. **Grenades Downstairs:** When tossing grenades downstairs, have your weapon ready. Invaders may rush upstairs after the blast.


6. **Shoot from Above or Below:** Cut small holes in the floor to fire into rooms below. Enemies often look straight ahead, not up or down.


7. **No Slings:** Keep your weapon at the ready; don't sling it around your body.


8. **Handy Tools:** Have a knife, spade, or club ready for close combat situations.


9. **Vary Your Position:** Never fire from the same window twice; stay unpredictable.


10. **Muzzle Discipline:** Don't expose your rifle's muzzle outside a window. Shoot from deep within the room.


11. **Wound, Don't Kill:** If you wound an enemy, let his friends come to help. It ties up more of their manpower.


12. **Demoralize:** Shoot those trying to evacuate wounded soldiers.


13. **Stay Fueled:** Keep carbohydrates on hand and stay hydrated. Urban warfare is physically demanding.


14. **Keep Moving:** Avoid staying in one spot for too long.


15. **Precision Shots:** Accurate shots can hold up enemy forces. You don't have to be a sniper, just create fear.


16. **Use Sewers and Subways:** When possible, move through sewers and subways.


17. **Avoid Friendly Fire:** Communicate your position to allies to prevent friendly fire incidents.


18. **Tracer Discipline:** Consider removing tracers from your ammunition supply to stay concealed.


19. **Tracer Awareness:** Keep one magazine of tracer rounds for signaling enemy positions to friends.


20. **Confusion Tactics:** Remove street signs and deface building names to sow confusion.


21. **Evacuate Wounded Promptly:** Don't delay evacuating wounded soldiers.


22. **Retreat Warning:** If the enemy suddenly pulls back, get out fast. It might signal impending heavy artillery or airstrikes.


Remember, these are extreme measures for extreme situations. Stay safe, and I hope none of you ever have to use these tactics.

Stay safe out there.


Glory to Ukraine.
