The Raw Truth: Drones, Missiles, and the Human Cost of War in Ukraine
These videos ain’t your Hollywood war flicks. They offer a glimpse into the brutal reality of the Ukraine conflict, the kind of stuff they don’t show on the six o’clock news. We’re talking drone rescues where the line between enemy and fellow human blurs, missile strikes that raise the specter of global conflict, and frontline footage that puts you right in the trenches with those who are fighting and dying. This is the uncensored reality of war, where life and death hang in the balance, and the decisions made have lasting consequences.
Key Takeaways:
Humanity Persists: Even in the depths of war, acts of compassion can emerge. The Ukrainian drone operator choosing to save the injured Russian soldier instead of taking his life is a testament to this.
Escalation & Global Anxiety: The use of Western long-range missiles inside Russia raises serious questions about escalation. Are we on a slippery slope towards a wider conflict, potentially even nuclear war?
Life on the Frontline: The footage from the Donbas region and the Kursk raid gives us a visceral understanding of the brutal reality faced by soldiers on both sides. This is a war of attrition, where every inch of ground is fiercely contested.
The Expendables: The footage of the North Korean soldier killed in action raises disturbing questions about the use of foreign fighters as cannon fodder in this conflict.
Analysis and Future Trends:
The videos highlight a conflict that is becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable. The involvement of foreign fighters, the potential for escalation, and the ever-present threat of nuclear war all point towards a dangerous and uncertain future.
The Fight Continues:
These videos are just a snapshot of the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine. They serve as a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the urgent need for peace. Scroll down to watch the videos and decide for yourself – how much longer can this go on?

Ukrainian drone tries to kill Russian soldier – then returns and saves his lifeThe Telegraph5,909,198 views | 66,711 | September 24 2024 18:54:29 (11,142 comments)[ Read more … ]
A Ukrainian front-line battalion filmed its drone-led rescue of an injured Russian soldier.
The K-2 Battalion, which is part of the Ukrainian Army’s 54th Brigade, posted the video across several different social media platforms this week.
Set to eerie music, the video runs longest on Telegram at more than 18 minutes. It picks out the strained facial expressions of the injured Russian soldier, damage to his wrist watch and the streak of dried blood running down the side of his face.
In the video, the drone operator decides not to kill the injured Russian soldier and instead drops water and a note before leading him across No Man’s Land to a Ukrainian trench.
It is unclear where or when the video was shot, although it appears to be set in late summer on a battlefield in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. Throughout the war, the 54th Brigade has been positioned on the front line in the Donbas region.
The video appears to be part of a sophisticated recruitment for the K-2 Battalion which, like the rest of the Ukrainian army, is under pressure to sign up more soldiers.
The released video starts as a Ukrainian drone scans a Russian trench after an attack, searching for survivors. It spots the injured Russian soldier lying on top of at least two bodies under an earth arch.
“This Is SUICIDAL!” US Missiles Fired As Putin Threatens NukesPiers Morgan Uncensored1,216,486 views | 26,663 | November 21 2024 20:00:20 (13,212 comments)[ Read more … ]
On Monday, Ukraine used western long range missiles inside the territory of Russia for the first time, prompting a slew of both cheers and jeers throughout the world. Some people are happy that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are taking the fight to their enemy’s soil, while others are terrified that Putin will finally make good on his endless threats, and use a nuclear weapon. While few are doubting the bravery of the Ukrainian people, or the wrongdoings of the Russian dictator, many are questioning just how long the west can continue to become involved in the wars of other nations.
In this explosive debate, Piers Morgan brings together host of ‘The Benny Show’ Benny Johnson, former United States Air Force veteran and YouTuber Jake Broe, author of ‘Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War With Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine’ Scott Horton and Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt.

First video of killed North Korean soldiers at frontline: Ukrainian army shows footage from SelidovoKanal131,155,745 views | 12,238 | November 12 2024 00:00:06 (1,259 comments)[ Read more … ]

The Telegram channel “Gostri Kartuzi” published a video showing the liquidation of a North Korean soldier in the near rear zone of Russian troops at a distance of about 5 kilometers from the front near Selidovo. Experts, having analyzed the face of the deceased in detail, determined that he was a representative of Korean nationality. Military expert Alexander Kovalenko explained that the physiognomic features of North Koreans, formed against the background of chronic malnutrition and vitamin deficiency, indicate that the liquidated fighter came from North Korea.
The video also shows that the deceased was carrying a large load , the volume of which is comparable to his build. This suggests that the Russians may be using North Koreans as labor to transport ammunition and provisions to the front lines. As Kovalenko notes, such a practice is common among Russian troops, since the use of equipment in the frontline zone is difficult due to the systematic destruction of vehicles by Ukrainian drones. Thus, the delivery of goods is carried out by foot porters who carry supplies on their backs.
The expert added that the use of North Koreans as labor in the war zone raises questions and suggested waiting for official confirmation before drawing final conclusions. Putin’s forces are believed to be losing hundreds of troops a day, with Ukrainian estimates going as high as 1,200 to 1,500, so the more than 10,000 troops South Korea believes are in Russia. “In the big picture, even 12,000 soldiers don’t affect the general situation of the war significantly,” says Emil Kastehelmi, who runs the Black Bird Group, which tracks the war in Ukraine.
The troops are already under fire, being shelled in the Russian border region of Kursk, according to Kyiv. That is the area where Ukrainian troops have held territory, having started a daring raid in August.
Questions have been raised about the calibre of the North Korean troops, not least because none of the group, which includes 500 officers and three generals, have any combat experience. North Korea’s isolation on the international stage means that its troops, which number more than a million, have faced nothing but training.
“None would think they are going to Russia to die,” Choi Jung Hoon, a former first lieutenant in North Korea’s army, told the Associated Press. “But I think they’re cannon fodder because they will be sent to the most dangerous sites and will surely be killed.”

Today there are a lot of updates from the Siversk direction.
Here, after the previous disastrous assault, the Russians decided to change their vector of attack and launched a new massive assault, this time from the northern flank of Ivano-Darivka. In spite of strong pressure from another large Russian mechanized assault, the Ukrainian fighters of the 54th Mechanized Brigade took lessons from the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade and organized a multilayered defense meant to repulse anticipated Russian assaults.
Last time I told you how Russian mechanized assault south of Ivano-Darivka resulted in heavy losses of personnel, tanks, and armored vehicles, leaving many wounded soldiers stranded in the grey zone. It seems like the Russian command figured that the main flaw in their assault was the elevated Ukrainian defensive positions above the village, rendering further attacks in this direction impractical.
That is why Russian forces launched a second wave of assaults along the elevated platfrom north of Ivano-Darivka, advancing from the Lysychansk Oil Refinery, where they had amassed numerous armored vehicles for the attack. This route aimed to reduce losses by positioning Russian mechanized units on the same elevation as Ukrainian defenders, hoping to reach and capture their positions. To preserve an element of surprise, Russian forces avoided heavy artillery and aerial bombardment of the Ukrainian positions, which later proved problematic.
The anticipated element of surprise failed, as Ukrainian commanders had already expected an assault along the elevated funnel. With only one dirt road leading from the main Russian positions at the Lysychansk Oil Refinery, Ukrainians were prepared to concentrate drone strikes and ATGM operators ont his narrow corridor to repel the assaults. Additionally, the narrowing down of the funnel to about one kilometer in width limited Russian maneuverability during the attack, making it easy for Ukrainian forces to detect and strike.
Combat footage shows that the Russians launched a substantial mechanized assault with eleven armored vehicles and over a hundred soldiers. However, they encountered issues before reaching Ukrainian positions, as Ukrainian forces identified and destroyed Russian tanks and BMPs with Stugna-P ATGMs. Most Russian armored losses were due to ATGM strikes—a rare occurrence, as FPV drones typically cause the majority of losses nowadays. This was likely due to the Russians’ failure to organize a coherent artillery and air support on Ukrainian positions, as alluded to by Russian sources. Standard Russian military protocols suggest that artillery should suppress most ATGM positions before an assault but due to the lack of coordination this did not happen.
Russian vehicles that were out of ATGM range were targeted by FPV drones, effectively forcing the remaining troops to retreat to whatever trenches and dugouts they found nearby. Ukrainian forces then deployed Mavic drones armed with grenades to eliminate Russian infantry who continued the assault, sparing only those fleeing the area. This worsened the situation for Russian forces, as disorganized stormtroopers from the damaged BMPs—many wounded—were scattered across open fields, hiding in abandoned and scattered dugouts and trenches.
Overall, despite previous failure, the Russians once again restarted their mechanized assaults towards Ivano-Darivka, resulting in heavy losses with many disorganized and wounded survivors of the assault left in grey zone. The number of Russian troops scattered across the fields near Ivano-Darivka, including wounded, is estimated to be up to a hundred. This assault and the previous one in Siversk direction met severe media backlash in Russia by their military analysts, who criticized the commanders in the area and called for their dismissal for their inability to organize offensive operations. This led to heavy losses in tanks and BMPs by Ukrainian ATGM crews, which not only prevented the Russian mechanized units from making any territorial gains, but also reduced the chances of success of any subsequent attacks due to the deterioration of combat readiness of the broken units.
