UPDATE: 

sadly no good news

Orcs started some serious counter attack both from east and west side of kursk. Its very difficult to hold them now. they got back 1 or 2 villages already. 

We are waiting for supplies.

some serious fight is coming in coming days.

local russians dont want us to leave them behind. 

about POW situation. it is true that russians murder most of the POWs doesnt matter ukranian or international fighter. sometimes they dont because they also need prison exchange. 

another thing about ukranians... they hate russians well you can basically say since the 1648 rebellion of the cossacks against the polish–lithuanian commonwealth following russian conquest of the crimean khanate.. but i think no one needs a history lesson now. 

 

Slava Ukraini! 

Your comment that local Russians don’t want you to leave them behind seems to imply that they want to be liberated and governed by Ukraine rather than Russia. Is that so? Was that the objective behind this incursion, the liberation of Kursk?

there are many reports of Russian troops pillaging locals. yes, Russian soldiers abuse their own people. that's probably the reason.

Hello from Toretsk area.

 

For the update.. well orcs trying to move deeper into the city. We are holding them so far. they are loosing crazy amount of men and vehicles. seeing crazy things.. we are fighting house to house at many locations. Sometimes in the same house but different floors.. Every where is full of dead bodies.. sometimes we step on them or sleep with them. We have ammo but short of arty at the moment. our drones are doing great. miss thailand already. orcs are moving fast to Toretsk from Nelipivka direction which is located south from here. Our north is clear. no danger so far. east and south directions are really tense now. Georgians are holding couple of houses few meters form my position and dont let russians pass. Azerbaijanis are more south. i heard they had a real hard fight last night but still hold their ground. My group is more east side of the city. 

we are against russian 9th separate motorized rifle brigade. they are well equipped. We are so close that we even know each others nicknames. sometimes we call each other. 

well we are still holding the city.. 

 

Friend of mine from my old group in Kursk told me they are fighting against NK soldiers already. They killed some of them and found NK soldier IDs which means they are not here as volunteers. you know what it means. im pretty sure you will see their pics very soon over internet. my friend told me they are taking all NK soldiers pics. he told me orcs started a new counter attack in that area. 

 

i will try to update you or answer your questions as best i can. but new star Elon keep cutting our internet these days.. also im busy with orcs so if i reply or post a new post late, sorry about that.

 

my personal opinion is.. no one has the right to make any comment of other country. especially about their freedom.. their right.. what to do or not to do.. it is easy to sit in your warm home with your thai girlfriend away from problems and watch things like watching a war movie. it is always no problem until it happens to you.. today here, tomorrow there. everyone knows how WW2 started.. we can say our ideas or opinion but i think only say is enough not try to push other people to believe you. in my opinion everyone must show respect to other people's freedom!

 

SLAVA UKRAINI!

SLAVA UKRAINI!


Interesting read.  Certainly more colorful than a CIA agent’s wartime experience.

 

So from what I’ve read you’re part of a group of volunteers to fight for Ukraine and not an army from a sponsored country as you quoted the various nationalities 

 

Would that be a correct assessment?

 

So you were not drafted or forced into the combat zone?  You simply volunteered.

 

Correct?

 

Any formal training of your unit of various nations together in small unit tactics or just “We’ll figure it out as we go along “. aka OJT?

 

Has Ukraine stepped up to the plate and offered assistance in fire support. rations. MEDIVAC or medical care if severely injured?

 

If not, who pays for your medical and possibly your flight home?

 

“is easy to sit in your warm home with your thai girlfriend away from problems and watch things like watching a war movie. it is always no problem until it happens to you.”

 

Irrelevant   You could be doing the same.  Your choice not to.

 

Regardless, Good luck and hope you make it home.  Front Sight Focus.

 

Now, before the usual suspects have their meltdown.  These are the questions I would before I “Write the Check.

 

My money, my questions

Yes volunteer means not belong to any nations military or in any nations military service.

Not trained by any nations army or soldiers (not talking about our military backgrounds of course) in or outside of ukraine

We have some physical tests before starting.. after passing that you need to be trained for many reasons

Well there are 2 types. 1 is the legion which is fully foreigners and leading by ukrainian officers. 2nd is some ukranian military brenches foreigner volunteers. Things changes regarding your situation

Of course ukraine helping us about medics and etc. But its a good idea to buy your equipment and come

hi

im squad leader of 3rd assault brigade 2nd foreign volunteer storm squad. We are not The Legion which is another foreign brigade. We are different because we can speak russian or ukranian

 

been in the fight little bit more than a year now. We are in Chasiv Yar now but the main group went to Kharkiv. We have some combination of countries: georgians.. azerbaijanis.. colombians.. brazilian and me turkish.. 

 

we had some other heroes from other countries too.. but they are fallen in Bahmut defence.. italian.. danish.. spanish..

 

its my rest time now and i will get back soon. 

 

if you support the fight you can donate drones to us or other units. im not sure if i can post official links here or not. there are 2 or 3 ukranian official websites where you can do donations. they are all legit you can check via youtube or website. 

 

if any moderator @Social Media gives me the green light i can post 2 links: 1 is the official website of our brigade and the second one is TERRA drone group which is very famous. 

 

thank you

Слава Україні!

Great idea. Can you post a link where I can donate to the Russian liberation force?

I asked ages ago for simple proof of a photo with is username - he refused to answer.

In the world of military forums, a "Walt" (short for Walter Mitty) is someone who pretends to have a military background or combat experience they don't actually possess.

Analyzing the posts from "problemfarang" reveals a complex picture. While some details align with the reality of the conflict in Ukraine, several significant red flags suggest the persona may be exaggerated or fabricated.

The Case for "Walt" (Red Flags)

  • Claiming "Seal Team" Equivalence: The poster claims to be a Captain in the Turkish SAT (Underwater Demolition Team), explicitly comparing it to the U.S. Navy SEALs. In the "Walt" community, claiming elite special forces status (SEALs, SAS, etc.) is the most common trope.

    Highly Dramatic Combat Claims: The posts describe cinematic "hand-to-hand combat" and specific kills with a "nice combat knife". While hand-to-hand combat does occur in modern war, it is extremely rare; "Walts" frequently focus on these visceral, personal kills to bolster their "tough guy" image.

    The "MIA" Hero Post: On November 7, 2025, the poster claims he and his squad are MIA (Missing in Action) and asks users to "pay your respects". Just nine days later, he is posting again, claiming he was wounded and in the hospital. The transition from "presumed dead/MIA" to "back on the forum" is a classic attention-seeking pattern seen in online roleplay.

    Operational Security (OPSEC) Violations: Despite claiming to have "really strict orders" , he provides specific locations like Toretsk, Rodynske, and Kursk. A veteran Captain would typically be much more discreet about current unit movements during an active "counter attack".

    Financial Discrepancies: The poster alternates between discussing 40 million baht ($1.1 million USD) property investments in Thailand and struggling to afford a plane ticket back to Bangkok due to "financial problems".

The Case for Authenticity (Factual Anchors)

  • Unit Knowledge: He correctly identifies the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade and its drone team, TERRA, providing legitimate links for donations.

    The Foreign Legion Shift: His mention of the brigade changing its name and the influx of Spanish-speaking volunteers (Colombians) in the 3rd Brigade matches real-world reporting from 2024-2025.

    Specific Details: Mentions of "chemical drones" and "Russian-style" high-ranking officers reflect common complaints and reports from the Ukrainian front lines.

Considered View

The poster is likely a "Partial Walt." It is possible he is in Ukraine in some capacity (perhaps as a volunteer in a support or lower-tier role), but his claims of being an elite Special Forces Captain and his descriptions of knife-fight heroics are classic markers of military embellishment.

The pattern of asking for "respect" for his own "MIA" status strongly suggests that the primary motivation for these posts is social validation and attention rather than providing accurate military updates.
