Your Questions for Ukraine Combat Veteran
I asked the German combat engineer Buttjer Freimann (pseudonym), which I interviewed/asked previously quite a lot of stuff about the Ukraine War. Here is one video with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh_SmROB2AM
He is open to your questions, although no guarantee that he answers.
He generally does not comment on politics, but is very open to tactical stuff, how/why, all types of munitions, he also is a former weapons instructor and knows a ton of small arms, etc.
Note I am currently also a bit out of ideas, since I am quite fatigued and quite a lot of my videos "bombed", so your questions are also helpful.

Regarding the entrenchment: how did the sophistication, complexity and thoroughness of entrenchment on the front lines change during last 12 months? Any special counter-solutions against FAB's, drones, surveillance etc.? Are there any notable differences between both sides (quality, level of equipment, mine-laying etc.)?
Do you have any experience with man portable anti-personnel fuel air munitions? It seems like a great idea on paper, and the Russians field them as RPGs while the US only sporadically fields them (though the reports on the SMAW-NE seemed very positive). There must be a drawback that isn't obvious to civilians, and I'm curious what that is and if it could be overcome.
Thanks, got an answer, although it is a bit short, I probably will dig more into it/him :)
What was the best field ration to find you have after a rough day?
thanks! Got the answer, should be covered in the next video
I don't know enough about land warfare to ask any specific questions. Mostly I'm curious about how things have changed from lessons learned, from what he knew before Ukraine to what he knows now. Or things which he learned which were surprising.
thanks! forwarded!
Did he use or encounter any of the newly designed small arms and equipment from Western manufacturers, such as the new Czech and Polish rifles? Any other new design equipment, such as tactical radios, decoys, helmets, night vision, uniforms/boots, plate/load carriers, or even field ration meals? What was his opinion, and did he personally use any?
