What is the KRAKEN Unit And How have They Faced Off Against the Russian Army?
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked them for heroically combating the enemy and head of intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, personally joined them for an assault operation. Meet Kraken, a regiment that emerged just a year ago but has already become one of the fiercest in this war. Here’s the story of a volunteer group that became Russia’s nightmare.

A funny coincidence: The legend of the Kraken originates in the Nordic region, the legend of a giant sea monster that can appear at any moment and drag a ship to the bottom of the sea and the Black Hornet drone was developed in Norway as well. Release the Kraken!

I believe all of ruzzia is a lie, even the name ruzzia, especially the way ruzzians call it themselves, rossie, did you know it is actually the Finnish word for Sweden!, spelled ruotsi, pronounced rossie, yes the ruzzians dont even have a country for themselves, they call themselves Swedes! fact is that Swedes did indeed have a massive empire in the east, consisting of all the Finns and Sami and Samoyed people of the north, and neighbor to Ukraine in the south, Ukraine had much more land far into what today is called ruzzia, there are no ruzzians, there were rossie empire hugely over far eastern Europe, THEY WERE SWEDISH!, Finns and Swedes, no ruzzians, I dont know what ruzzians are for real, but they could not even come up with a name for themselves but stole the name of the Swedish empire that existed there long before any ruzzians came along, it was ROUTSI!, one giant Swedish empire, no ruzzians, no rossie, but actually like the Finns say even to this day - RUOTSI - about Sweden! Finns call ruzzians venajat, not rossie AT ALL.💪🇺🇦

I have seen a lot from this unit and to be honest they operate better than the Ukrainian military, they are more like Ukrainian special forces. If it’s true they are just football fans, that’s really actually unbelievable, they operate very tactically and just generally move very well like a well trained special forces unit. If I were Ukraine I’d hand them the keys and give them anything they ask for, they’re very efficient, I’ve seen it with my own 2 eyes. I’ve also seen a bunch of footage of other groups, these guys are about as good as Ukraine has to offer, they almost move like US or other western special forces. Very impressive young men.

Kraken is a fantastic unit. BTW, i WW2, when forming Commandos, the soldiers never bothered themselves with routines that the regular army was doing; they instead promoted agility and creativity. Comes as no surprise that most of the Commandos were Uni educated with many alumni of Oxford and Cambridge, highly intelligent people. Success seems to come hand in hand with these qualities - so stay strong!:)

I think after the war they might become an actual SF unit on the same level as the SEAL or Delta. Maybe even a component special unit of the territorial defense like the units within US SOCOM. but first let release the Kraken and reclaim the land taken. Slava Ukraini.
In a desperate war of defense it does not matter who you were before the war it only matters what you can do. Those that can do, quickly rise to the top. A lot of these lads probably learned some things about their capabilities and endurance that they never knew was possible. 🇺🇦

@@dragonmartijn yes, it’s sad but true. Too many have died too young. War is the ultimate in human stupidity and insanity. But it is what it is. Some people, maybe you included, believe it would have been better to let Putin take Kiev and the country to avoid all of the bloodshed. I’m sure Putin would have largely let the people alone after he imprisoned and/or executed the leadership but a lot of the civilian population rose up and helped run the Russians out of the west. People don’t like to be slaves. The human will can be indomitable at times. Even the Ukrainian conscripts, who may not be totally happy to be there, feel like there is some sense of righteous purpose for their sacrifice. I’m not sure I can say the same for the Russian conscripts.
Be proud and keep fighting for yourself, your country, yours and problably our freedom. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️🇳🇱

One of the best Ukrainian unit. 92nd Brigade is also really good. The Adam drone unit also.
Actually this unit is a offshoot of the AZOV Battalion. After Mariupol this unit was dissolved and the Kraken unit was set up.
ITS TIME TO RELEASE "THE KRAKEN" AGAINST THE HATED ORKS
The drone is fucking awesome. And less than € 1000,- p stealth drone. Next step would be adjusting angles for the inner frame keeping reflection of Radar that will be converted to US waves in this type of material in mind, towards the ‘sky’ at all times. Very complex mathematics I can only visualize it, wish I finished high school for the maths. Europe is very interested in Buying this Dutch/Ukrainian technology, especially for these costs..
