Serbian Sniper Fighting for Russian in Ukraine Interview 

The point of this video was to better understand a soldier fighting for the Russian side. We do not condone or agree with what Dejan said. More communication is always better than total and censorship which leads to even more misunderstanding.

Dejan corrected the translator several times at the begining😂😂 the translator said Iraq instead of Afganistan, major mistake😂 and Dejan told him that 2016 doesnt mean 2014 😂😂😂😂😂 good lord... Dejan knows english better than the translator

It seems that a translator is the third part in this conversation. He was telling his own story, ignoring what the two others actually told, omitted important parts, changed key meaning and substance, deliberately made up things that were never told, all the time putting particularly irritating and unnecessary phrases like 'to be honest with you', Dejan's never ever said. I believe he did his best but it's a shame for such an interview.

Him, being alive for such a long time, is a proof of his skills.

Deyan "I seen Nazis slighting throats" Chris - "This will not be productive conversation if we continue on this path " x4 times.

So the host is a war criminal who committed crime against humanity in iraq for no reason other than oil , and participated in the destruction of a whole country and killing millions of unarmed civilians including children and women , acting as a judge and a high moral in this conversation? That's extremely weird ,

For those that are watching, this video was about 40min longer than it is ! After the Serbian Sniper left, they continued to discuss everything they've heard in the interview. They also had A LOT of unprofessional moments and reactions.

Translation was not good at all. A lot of important things that Dejan said were not even translated. It sounds as a classic American thing not even to try to pronounce correctly the name of person you are interviewing 3 hours (in Serbian it's written Dejan, you should hear him presenting him self as Deyan). This fact talks a lot about Chris. Also Chris, you could be so professional and check confirmed sniper shot range before saying to guy that was 15 years on the front that he is lying. After this way of ending 3 hour interview, don't expect again some important soldier from Russian side to be part of your vlog. P.S. arranging duels is standard Slavic thing, still now... even in war... I don't expect you to understand that, as most of things that Deyan said.

Saying you totally do not agree with the invasion of ukrain but you invaded iraq yourself🤷🏽‍♂️

Respect to our Serbian brother from Georgia, we are not on same page according to our state politics but in reality we are

Deki's place in Serbia Putinovci is very close to Budjanovci(rotten wilage) where is F117A dowend 1999 during nato aggression and excuse from Serbian army was "sorry we didn't know it was invisible"!

Aww so cute. Crappy and his boyfriend giggling.

I just want to say, as native Serbian speaker, translator didn't do very good job unfortunately. Some translations were completely missing the point. But he is not professional so i guess he did his best. This was great opportunity for someone from US to hear what is actually going on as all Russian media was banned on day one and all they can hear is western propaganda.

Omg the translator was so unprofessional 😭 in every sentence he left out major points, and he constructed sentences in his own way, he shaped the sentences to fit his english knowledge 😂. He kept on saying " The fact of the matter is " 😂

2:59:14 Your idea, to talk about the soldier experience is a sound one, but...your setup where there is two of you, where he clearly expected one interlocutor surely did get his guard up, you didn't even introduce your self, he had to ask. That aside, the main difference is that he was raised by two grandfathers who were both in WW2 fighting for home, later on he fought in a civil war, than later on he fought for his home...and later one he went to repay his debt to the Russians. He is molded by those events, events that happened at his home and it's personal to him. While on the other side you have two Americans who just went to another continent to kill and earn money, you didn't go to Iraq or Afghanistan to defend your home, your home was thousands of miles away. I mean by that logic the Germans when to Africa to defend their fatherland. I follow Task and Purpose and like your content, watch is regularly, but there's a reason you halted your military carrier in order to pursue your movie maker/YT carrier, a much more noble cause. Dejan feels like he had to go to war, like he was defending his home (up until he got called to repay his debt, not sure how he rationalizes that, might be the same as any NATO soldier that went to Iraq/Afghan). Bottom line...all of that is personal to him, while you two are bystanders. If you interviewed an Ukranian soldier...the whole topic would be personal for him as well since they are not far removed from the conflict.

american iraq veteran disagrees with the Russian SMO, sounds like double standards to me.

Bravo Deki legenda hvala za sve 👍

The world record for a sniper shot is 3540 meters by a Canadian sniper team with a .50 BMG. 1600 meters with other calibers is very attainable. Watch the Dallas Alexander interview with Shawn Ryan. A simple Google search will show you all of the longest confirmed kills.

I have to tell you that the translator was very bad... !!! Very often it is not transportation in a good context. in some places, it seems to me that he even deliberately didn't wanted to translate Dejan's words... It would be a good idea to go through this interview again with another translator.... Поздрав из Србије

A lot of things got missed out during translation which was atrocious. But more importantly you seem like dead set on misinterpreting what you hear, either out of bias that he's unreliable narrator from the get go, or from sheer ignorance. For example 1600m is certainly a long shot, but nothing out of realm of an experienced sniper with a good rifle. Or that the 90 Ukrainian tanks were captures around Kiev, when he explicitly said it was back in 2015. in the aftermath of battle of Debaltsevo pocket. And I won't even go into realities of war in Ukraine because if you cannot understand "why would Ukrainians snipers shoot into civilians in Donbass", you really don't know anything about the conflict at all. Mind you Dejan (pronounced as Deyan) is a officer, not a random foot solider so he has a bit better optics then you guys did in your tours, but obviously he wasn't willing to answer all of your questions in a way you might find satisfactory, just like US officer wouldn't divulge some of that info to a Russian interviewer.

All the best to Dejan,those two guys are highly unprofessional

Great interview. Lots of admiration for Dejan, true hero and badass

Berić is using lobayev sumrak sniper rifle which is rated at 0.5 MOA,and he was saying in a different interview that rifle is chambered in .408 (pressumably chay tac) With this rifle and a good optic experienced sniper can shoot at 1600 meters, for Cris Kyle holds a record by hitting target at 1900 meters.

What a selfish agenda driven interview.. as a wanna be soldier or interviewer atleast be fair to whom you are interviewing... And post the full length conversation.. people like you are pulling this country down... We have lost all respect from other countries around the world.. be fair.

There are snipes records over 3000m and they say he is lying about he's 1600m snipe.

Thanks for doing this. Historical documentation!

Its funny how US troops are not considered invaders after Iraqi invasion... I hope Russia take a W.

I was missing the audio from the mister with the blue background (apologies for I forgot his name) around the 2:30:00 timemark. Does anyone know what he asked / said by any chance

This is great. Thanks cappy

I have a question for you who leads this program. During the program you have asked Deki, How close the fighting was to the front line? Deki: have answered your question. That it was close and long distance of battles. Everything from 0.5m to 1600m. Then, you and your friend on the right have started laughing, hysterically and disrespectfully. Which I didn't like, because I thought the whole program was about hearing the story of a soldier. Shortly after, you and your friend called him a liar. I don't have a military background or anything like that, but in the movie A sniper's war, Deki uses Orsi's T-5000. According to the information I have found online. It is a very powerful weapon. Weapon has Effecktive firing range: 1000m = 1,094yd and if is (338) 1500m= 1640yd and Maximum firing range of over 2000m =2,187. But considering his (Deki) knowledge and competence as a soldier, to me sounds like he was honest to your question. But you and your friend disrespected him. Can you explain why you and your friend laughed at him the way you did?

With all do repect to translater. Simultanius translating is more difficoult than ppl think. Please Criss, go throu video again with another translator. Perhaps I can help, there has been a lot of bad translations and misunderstanding on both sides.

Dude this guy is really good sniper. Considering the rifles that they use there - 1.6 km for him is doable.

When Americans could not get approval from Colombian to build Panama canal they created new country Panama which was prior to that only a province of Colombia. They did the same to Serbia. When Milosevic did not agree to American base in Serbia, Americans declared Serbia's province Kosovo an independent state and built the base.

For Cappy and his giggling gf, Dejan was interviewed a few days ago by somebody who wasn't a former farm bomber and goat herder remover that received his military training playing call of duty in between dressing for drag and learning how to walk in heels. Dejan is asked about his 1600 shot and clearly explained in detail how average of a shot it is and how strange it is that former US military cannot believe such things. I understand though as the only branch of the US military that shoots shots is the air force when "liberating" oil fields. Here is a snippet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZCTig7gPbWs.html.

Love how you both (more your friend than you) laugh after the interview, looks so childish and not professional at all. Like a typical scene from a US movie where two high school kids laugh and talk smack after the kid, that they dislike, leaves. Always though that that's just a movie cliché, but looks like it's something that you do...eye opening.

Is the movie/Video Dejan keeps mentioning he sent available to watch? Anyone have a link? Excellent documentary.

Dejan is sniper who have a lot of experience.

Bravo for Dejan, he explained the situation very well. Stupid Americans, this war is their war, they pushed the Ukrainians into ruin, and they don't understand what they don't want to understand. Support from Croatia!

This is better journalism than ANYTHING else ive seen

Great job Cappy and crew. This might have been the most important interview you have ever done. Keep up the good work

It was ok interview but, some things were either completely missed or lost some meaning in translation. It really doesn't make difference though. To me, it really shows how Americans fundamentally don't understand both mentality and situation in the East-SE Europe but, also how people over there look down on Americans and really can't care less what Americans think.

Not likely to get this kind of interview anywhere else. Great job Chris.

SLAVA SERBII SLAVA ROSSII

well done indeed Cappy!

This is a great record, it doesn’t matter if the translation is off because unlike most sources he left in all of the Russian

It would be much better conversation with profesional translator. Man who translated mised some remarks and sometimes colored the story

Well done Cappy, it's always important to realise that the "enemy" are just people too, they have reasons for why they're on the side they're on. This may not have changed anyone's minds or been mind blowing in what was said but the precedence is extremely important. Mad respect for you and your team

Sub titles would be nice

Thanks for the video greetings from Serbia ❤️

I think you need a professional translator, this isn't good enough i could easily, translate this at the level that this translator did i know its not easy it requires translation on the go, but as far as ive seen hague tribunal translators did an excelent job, maybe they are expensive but they are such talented people

Dejan is much smarter than 90 % of politicians

That’s very pretty cool hearing two different point of view.

The energy tht Dejan carries, you can tell he’s the absolute real deal.

I like how the American brags about invading Iraq but he thinks the sniper is bad for invading Ukraine

Man, the interpreter… not only the obnoxious phrases like “to be honest”, “you must know” which Dejan never used, but also the inaccuracies when interpreting the parts about the advances in the north… made me want to pull my hair out.

СЛАВА РОССИИ И СЕРБСКОЙ АРМИИ Привет из Сербии

I forgot about that 2nd channel until that video pop up

I was at a A3OB base in #2016 the only Americans I met was a Puerto Rican guy from the Bronx & a convict from Florida. One had military service!

Thank you for doing this interview. Translator really sucked

Kosovo Serbia ❤

What a epic interview. Well done. Dont think ill watch 4 hrs of this, would be good to have time stamps on subjects

Great and important

I wanted to hear his definition of a Nazi

Ovi Amerikanci kao da su u šoku, kao da su shvatili da zapravo pojma nemaju o ničemu XD. Ako Dejan ovo čita samo da mu dam savijet da ne priča previše, odnosno da ne iznosi previše informacija o svojim taktikama ratovanja, kako ne bi to iskoristili protiv njega. Pozz iz Hrvatske. ps. Ovaj prevoditelj je stvarno tukac. Iživcirala sam se kako sve krivo prevede :)

interesting interview,only saw it now 9 months later.wonder if this guy is still ok.

I know of him. Deadly sniper .wouldn’t ever think he is

As a certified blackman, Deki objasnio

this guy with kilroy flag is arrogant without understanding, but that is kinda normal for americans. for example; - making interview with person without even learning his name or calling him lair because he is not familiar with some skills

If you want the long history he could have told you, but you started to pivot away from the answers when you yourself was wrong

you are a force of good, god bless you Chris Cappy

Wow. "And Now For Something Completely Different". Interesting.

Translator is catastrophic, he untraslated and reprhased many words that Dejan used in his sentences that would make chris and his companion get different context.

Cappy, I know this must be difficult to sell to a large audience, but I thank you for taking the risk to share this with the world. It’s important for us to understand how our enemies think and feel. You’re doing work that I consider necessary. Thank you for a great alternative to learning more about the world and the military.

Wow

Love to deki from the usa 🇺🇸 🇷🇺

All soldiers are human beings it doesn't matter which side they're on. They love, love feel, they hurt, they bleed.

Here’s the reality. Russia, through the FSB, have subverted Ukrainian politics through quite some time and many Ukrainians are resentful about that. They feel not much has changed since the breakup of the Soviet Union up until 2014. This resentment and desire to be unshackled from Russia’s orbit is what motivates the Ukrainians. On the Russian side, Ukraine, especially eastern Ukraine has always played an important historical role in Russia’s history. Dostoyevsky was born in eastern Ukraine. Many of the casualties suffered during ww2 were in Ukraine. Additionally, many ethnic Russians, again, especially in the east, still live in Ukraine and have sympathies with Russia. Many Russians view the 2014 revolution as something largely propped up by US/western Intel agencies. They view the current gov as illegitimate. Zelensky originally ran as the “peace” candidate, but he allowed himself to be pushed around by the ultranationalists like Azov. When people say the Ukraine gov is run by “Nazis”…. They don’t mean everyone involved in the Ukrainian gov is a Nazi. They mean these paramilitary groups like right sector/Azov/etc have a disproportionate amount of influence within the central gov and through shear force and intimidation often are able to shape gov policy to their liking. For example, the recent push to suppress Russian language media outlets (much of which are apolitical). I know, given the media bubble that exists in the west, it’s hard to believe there are Ukrainians that are ethnic Russians who have sympathies with Russia, but I would implore you to read amnesty international’s report on Azov and their activities towards ethnic Russians in Ukraine. Look up the Odessa massacre. I’m not saying Russia is right, but it certainly is more complicated that you’re making it out to be.

I am Canadian and Dejan Berić is a hero to me. Bless Russia, Serbia and ukraine all together. Dejan is there to defend like minded people against governments like Zelensky and Poroshenko's

This guy is Sergeant Shultz - you ask him a question about Russians and his answer is "I know nothing, I see nothing!"

Relax Capi! Will you! You are a true patriot. Now beeing serious, outstanding job for one american to do. You looked a bit nervous at start but then you chilled. Talking is always the path to go in relationships between states. Capi Capi Capi be more educated. This Guy id being very kind. Talking like a real soldier, what did you expect?

1 mile shot is nothing special. american sniper claims 1.4 mile shot and britsh one 1.5.

Good video poor translation

Cappy, I know this must be difficult to sell to a large audience, but I thank you for taking the risk to share this with the world. It’s important for us to understand how our enemies think and feel. You’re doing work that I consider necessary. Thank you for the great content

Dejan is Novak Djiković on battle field

Cappy doing Direct Intelligence! : ) Well done. You should have asked him about his experience in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Braćo Rusi volim vas umro bi za Rusiju I Srbiju 🇷🇸 ❤️ 🇷🇺

bro hard to find to say the least

Translator is complete crap,so unprofessional. He made so many mistakes and changes. Where did you find 🤔 this guy?

2:48:26 He said a type of sniper (I can't hear), but I hear "caliber 408mm and the World record with that gun is 2500m" .

Countries do not have right to self determination. Nations have right to self determination. That is why there is Organization of United Nations and not Organization of Countries.

Talk is talk. Wins he who shoots better.

Maybe you should check on Dejan. Looks like the chickens have come home to roost.

If you shoot 1000 or maybe 10,000 rounds there is always a possibility that a sniper could make a 1,600 meter shot. It would be interesting to know how many 1,600 meter shots were missed.

What a marine, baterie? What about being prepared? It's kind of joke interview? You are talking to a killer, ask something smart.

I think it was an interesting concept. I thank you for doing this video even if I also don't agree with anything he said.

translation is made by pro western guy who didn't translate crucial information like they (russian and pro russians) attack in direction of Kiev area by only 8000 soldiers which is obviously forces strong enough for anything except to hold so call ukrain's forces there and in many other places translation is good enough to hold main point but lost important details that point obvious to the Dejan Otherwise I appreciate guy's (translator) effort

The accuracy of this translation from Serbian to English is 10-15% accurate at best, his English to Serbian is somewhat better.. I think in modern jargon you can call it a shit show

He didnt see any war he was catched in serbia media

Find better interpreter ASAP! This one Is not good enough ☹️

A much more intelligent Interview with Dejan: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZCTig7gPbWs.html
