Youtube drama.
HistoryLegends published a video which refutes that human wave tactics is used by Russians (by anyone, both sides really). And he is right "human wave" as history or military history knows it... it does not used. And he points out when it was used, it was for propagandistic purposes in order to denigrate an opponent.
Two pro-Ukrainian channels replied, both trying to counter the arguments. One is Ryan McBeth who moved the goalpost to "meat wave", the other is Military & History who swapped both words: human -> meat and wave -> attack. And basically both says that it's used in propaganda fashion... The latter also says that noone say "human wave" ever.
Weeb Union, and and Defense Politics Asia did videos on this too, the latter reacted to the reactions. Matters little.
Yesterday I actually searched on an invidious instance, so on youtube (I wonder how results would change if I searched on pure youtube) "russian human waves" and got quite a few hits. This morning I thought I make couple of screenshots. With red I highlighted the hits with the searched expression, and with orange the related.
#1 "russian human waves" - probably Times Radio has the greatest reach in these popularizing the idea; I skipped that video game thing there; most hits are from over a year ago; related terms: meat wave and zombies, or just simply waves
#2 and #3 "human wave ukraine" - way more hits; ofc about the Russians; funny thing: most videos are done by "CNN-News18" which is an Indian news channel, imagine; one notable hit that overshadows Times Radio: Sky News with 1.7 million views: Analysis: Russia using 'human wave' troops in Donbas; and a curious find on the second page by Telegraph - with only 67K views, not many Bri'ish conservatives, eh?
#4 "russian meat wave" - quite a lot, to be honest most videos are done by Denys Davydov is he on the pajeet CNN_News18 level??? and he has lots of views ofc, related terms are human wave, zombies, meatgrinder

The Sky News find compelled me to search couple of large media channels: CNN, Reuters, BBC, Guardian News, couldn't come up with anything.
