The War in the Ukraine

Audio of MIG-29 being shot down by Su-30SM.

An episode of the battle between the Russian 752nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Zapad group and the Ukrainian 3rd Separate Assault Brigade. The video was filmed near the settlement of Nadiya in the LPR. A column of Ukrainian equipment consisting of a tank, an infantry fighting vehicle, an M113 armored personnel carrier, and an M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle attempted to attack Russian positions. Russian intelligence spotted the column and struck with artillery and drones. The video was filmed from several drones. As a result of the battle, three Ukrainian M113 armored personnel carriers and an M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle were destroyed, and an infantry fighting vehicle was also abandoned. The video is shortened, the dead servicemen have been removed.

Rare footage of the launch of the Russian kamikaze drone "Geran-2" from a car. The drones are controlled by operators and are equipped with 4G modems, Ukrainian SIM cards are installed in them. The video shows the strike of the drone "Geran-2" on a Ukrainian industrial facility in the area of the settlement of Musiyki, Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Judging by the video, this is the second drone attack.

Recent Lancet kill compilation against a PzH2000, 2S22 Bogdana, 2S1 Gvozdika, M198, FH-70, tanks and APCs. A Lancet cost $40,000 estimated each. In the battlefield role, Lancets appear to be ceding the flying ATGM role to FPV drones, but still stands indomitable against ranged targets and artillery counter battery.

Shaman unit of the 1455th Regiment strikes at Ukrainian drone repeater and communication towers in Novoandreevka, and also takes out a Baba Yaga. Signal repeaters are used to greatly extend the communication range of FPV drones enabling them to hit much further, so these are now priority targets on either side. A Baba Yaga drone is said to cost around $10,000 to ramming it using a $500-1000 FPV drone is favorable math.

Archival footage from 2024, repelling an attack by a Ukrainian naval drone off the coast of Crimea. A Russian temporary firing point is used to protect the coast. The Ukrainian naval drone is based on a jet ski, there are several versions, the model is unknown. Fire is being conducted on the naval drone from a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft artillery mount, made in the Soviet Union. The ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft mount has a rate of fire of up to 2,000 rounds per minute and can hit targets at a range of up to 3 km. As a result of the battle, the Ukrainian naval drone caught fire.

Russian demos recently captured stuff from the Kursk region.


Ukrainian howitzer gets hit by fiberoptic FPV drones. This looks like a D-30 to me.


Hidden in the forest Ukrainian light vehicle parking lot and trucks used for logistics. The demechanization of the AFU is so thorough they are being forced to use civilian vehicles like SUVs, pickups and cars for logistics. But even the cheap wheels are not spared from an Iskander.


The evolution of drone warfare is breathtaking and all happening in real time. To deal with Russia's notorious reconnaissance drones --- already a decisive weapon system of the war --- the Ukrainians introduced interceptor FPV drones. This has some measure of success. That is until the Russians introduced automated evasion systems into their reconnaissance drones.

Ukrainians trying to cover up trenches to make them drone proof. Russians sent Krasnopols into it. Oleshnya. This is the last village the Russians need to recapture to fully liberate the Kursk region.


Destroyed Stryker in Goncharovka.


Ukrainian FrankenSAM or FrankenBuk. Buk-M1 with Sea Sparrow missiles. This appears to work well enough for the Russians to bother sending an Iskander on one.

Hyena Group UAV operators spot troops of the AFU 155th Brigade gathering and trying to hide into a house, which is a big and fatal noob mistake. The drone operators sent the target coordinates to Russian artillery, which took care of the house in the first hit. Either a real sharp artillery or a Krasnopol is used.


Two armored vehicles of the AFU 425th Scala Battalion headed towards Shevchenko in the Pokrovsk sector, gets under heavy artillery fire as observed by UAV units of the Mad Dogs Brigade.


(There are two Shevchenko under combat contested state simultaneously, so I will refer to one as Shevchenko in the Pokrovsk sector under Group Center responsibility, and the other as the Shevchenko in the Vremevsky sector under Group East responsibility.)

News about North Korean troops for some reason disappear, just as Kursk safari ends. Does Ukraine really decimated them all ?

An archive episode of the battle of the Ukrainian fourth company, at one of the strongholds, the location of the shooting is not reported. The video is shortened, showing episodes explaining the essence of what is happening and showing active moments of the battle. Russian artillery, drones and mortars are firing at the stronghold. Nearby, there is a shootout with a Russian unit. At first, the stronghold is attacked by a Russian FPV drone, it flies away, but when it returns, it hits two soldiers in a trench. Then, to change personnel, an armored personnel carrier YPR-765 arrives at the stronghold. The soldiers try to evacuate, but the armored personnel carrier breaks down. After this, they decide to abandon the combat vehicle and go on foot. When leaving the combat vehicle, one soldier is wounded in the arms and legs. Then it is reported that two more are wounded. The soldiers decide to drag the wounded man, after which a mortar mine explodes nearby. The soldier who filmed this video is wounded in the leg. The fate of the soldiers is unclear, as two wounded remain in the trench, and a soldier with the call sign Hector leaves. The video ends here. It is worth noting that the stronghold is open, it was impossible to defend it, judging by the video, there is not even a dugout.
