Russian Soldiers hit by several blasts

Fail BMP drops troops 20M from Ukrainian riflemen

An absolute failure of Russian military tactics shows a BMP infantry fighting vehicle dismounting three Russian troops in the open, a mere 20 meters from waiting Ukrainian riflemen. The BMP doesn't stick around to provide hard cover or suppressing fires. It simply bails after deploying a small, ineffective smoke screen. The Russian troops are immediately gunned down in the exact spot they were abandoned.

UA SOF ambushes Russian troops in Kursk

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, operating in Kursk, Russia, execute a linear ambush on a Russian military truck and eliminate all of its occupants. The Ukrainians can be seen wearing 3D leafy camouflage suits for extra concealment. They engage the vehicle with small arms including rifles and belt fed machine guns. A shoulder fired anti tank weapon is also used. The target truck burns, and multiple Russians are seen dead. The kinetic nature of Ukraine's cross-border operation makes it hard for Russian reinforcements to know where the enemy will be and what is waiting for them around the next bend in the road.

Russian Infantry ravaged by strikes

The Ukrainian Presidential Brigade released a strike mashup showing the elimination of multiple Russian frontline infantry troops. The strikes were carried out using a combination of FPV kamikaze drones as well as drone dropped munitions. At one point a wounded Russian soldier can be seen pulling a pin on a grenade to immediately take his own life, rather than succumbing to a slow and painful degradation in irreversible hypo perfusion.

Lone Ukrainian frags two attacking Russians

Reconnaissance drone footage released though official Ukrainian channels shows two Russian Soldiers coming up against a Ukrainian Soldier in his fighting position. A brief firefight ensues, ending when the Ukrainian starts lobbing hand grenades at his attackers. The lone Ukrainian is a part of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, and will likely be awarded for his heroic defensive action.

Russian reenforcement convoy wiped in Kursk

A dash cam records as it drives through the burnt out remanence of destroyed troops transport trucks and dead Russian soldiers in the vicinity of Oktyabrskoye, Kursk. The convoy was intended to bring fresh troops in to quell the Ukrainian military's cross boarder incursion into the Russian Kursk region. However, the unit appears to have become the target of artillery or rockets as it staged along a roadway. Several bodies can be seen in and around multiple vehicles.

Lyut brigade’s “Enei” special operations battalion in Pivnichne

This footage, provided by Ukraine’s Lyut Brigade, shows the “Enei” Battalion operating in Pivnichne, a town in the Donetsk Oblast near Toretsk. The cameraman is shown engaging Russians with a machine gun, clearing buildings and interacting with a civilian from the area. As a warning: Russian casualties are shown and as such, viewer discretion is advised. The Lyut Brigade (also rendered “Liut”, translated to English as “Fury”) is largely composed of Ukrainian Law Enforcement elements. Essentially, police units were militarized during the War in Donbas- a sort of precursor conflict to the current Russian invasion- and these units were brought under one chain of command as the Lyut Brigade. For Ukrainian Police Officers, service in the Lyut Brigade counts as a continuation of their service as police insofar as pay, rank, and retirement. New recruits who are not police are guaranteed work as Police Officers at the end of the conflict. The “Enei” Battalion is Lyut’s Special Operations element.

Russian rider loses leg to drone

Footage reportedly from the Robotyne front shows a Russian dirt bike rider get struck by an FPV drone. He is thrown from the motorbike which bursts into flames. The Russian can be seen writhing in agony with an apparent amputation of his lower extremity.

Russian tagged in the face by fragmentation from cluster munition

Cell phone footage recorded while a Russian was doing a selfie video captures the moment a cluster submunition impacts with his face. The status of the Russian Soldier seen in this video is unknown, however it's very likely that he lost at least a few teeth from this incident, and the submunition that him in the side of the neck may also cause him some complications a bit further down the road. Regardless, this dude is incredibly lucky, and this video is also an argument for wearing eye protection whenever you're exposed.

Russian aquatic setbacks

A few Russian soldiers attempt to row, row, row, their boat gently down the stream when they run afoul of a Ukrainian drone. The dropped munition lands squarely in their dinghy, sending the occupants into the water. One many thrashes wildly before the river takes him, suggesting that life is, in fact, not a dream.

Gunfight on a Nashville bridge

This bodycam and dashcam compilation shows police officers in Nashville, Tennessee, as they attempt to apprehend a man suspected of a shooting earlier in the day. A brief gunfight ensues, and the suspect is killed. Viewer discretion is advised. Tadarius Hunt, 29 years of age, is shown here attempting to run away from law enforcement. He is either affecting inattention and pretending to jog, or has been on the run for quite some time. It's anything but a sprint. He has been identified as the culprit of a shooting earlier in the day, in which a 44-year-old employee at a local homeless shelter, the Nashville Rescue Mission, had been shot multiple times. Witnesses attest that the employee had banned Hunt from the property. Despite attempts to flag him down, Hunt ignores the police officers and continues to jog away. Nashville PD hems him in on an overpass, at which point Hunt draws his handgun (0:38). Hunt and an officer exchange several rounds, at which point he goes down (0:41). We then see the action play out from two officers' viewpoints. The contact officer, Ofc. Breece, also fired at Hunt. Ofc. Lewis, the backup officer on whom Hunt initially drew, reveals that he has been hit in the leg. Hunt was transported to an area hospital, but died while receiving care. Ofc. Lewis was treated for a graze and later released.

Invisibility cloak fails again

Footage from the Ukrainian Worm Busters shows Russian soldiers continue putting all their trust into thermal cloaking blankets, fully committed to the hope that it will make them completely undetectable to Ukrainian drones. This video, like many others we have seen, proves that that concept doesn't work.

Pokrovsk target rich environment

Footage from a Ukrainian drone unit clinging to Pokrovsk shows multiple effective strikes by Ukrainian loitering munitions. The drones find, fix, and finish Russian infantrymen as the siege for the rubbled city continues.

Final faces of russian Forces

The Ukrainian 414th Unmanned Strike Aviation Brigade, better known as the Birds of Magyar, released another mashup video focusing on closeup face still images of targeted Russian soldiers just before they are struck by kamikaze drones. It is a macabre composition, but does well in adding a human element to the footage. These are not just nameless, faceless targets, they are individuals from various walks of life that somehow ended up ending their existence on the Ukrainian battlefield.

Azov assaults Russian position in Serebryansky

This compilation of GoPro footage shows several different perspectives of Azov troops during an assault on a Russian position in the Serebryansky forest of Kreminna. It's worth noting that here, the sobriquet "Azov" refers to the 12th Special Purpose Brigade of Ukraine's National Guard. The compilation shows snipers, tankers, infantry, and even the TOC at work as AZOV prosecutes their target. While they do take some prisoners, not everyone is taken alive in a trench raid. Viewer discretion is advised.

Drone hunts down Russian Soldier

Fiber-optic drone footage released by Ukrainian troops with the Signum drone unit shows an attack against a Russian soldier sitting in the tree line. The footage itself is something straight out of a late '80s or early '90s horror film, with the drone serving its part as the killer stalking prey through the woods. The closing shot serves as a battle damage assessment to show that the drone strike was successful in eliminating its target.

Bomb robot creeps up on Russians

Footage from the Ukrainian K-2 Unit shows a small remote controlled wheeled explosive device stalking three unsuspecting Russian troops. The pilot is able to get within close proximity using shadows and terrain to gain ground without being detected. Once the target Russians go under a bridge, the drone begins spinning out. The pilot decides to detonate while he still has the element of surprise. The blast kills one Russian and injures another. A short time later, the K-2 unit sends an FPV loitering munition and finishes of the third man.

Sniper smokes Russian smoker

This quick clip shows a Russian soldier being observed by thermal scope camera as he smokes a cigarette and carries on a conversation on a cell phone, his head above cover. This proves to be a fatal mistake as the sniper presses the trigger and fires, dropping the Russian where he stands. The precise distance of the shot isn't known, but there is an approximate second between firing and impact. Viewer discretion is advised. Date and location not disclosed.
