War. It’s ugly. It’s brutal. And it’s captured in all its raw, unflinching reality in these videos. From the chilling precision of a foreign sniper taking out Russian targets to the chaotic close-quarters fighting captured on Russian bodycams, this collection offers a visceral glimpse into the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. We also see disturbing parallels in other conflicts, like the Hamas footage from Gaza, reminding us of the universal horrors of war, regardless of the players or the battlefield. Don’t expect Hollywood heroics here. This is the real deal. This is what it means to fight, to survive, to kill, and to die.

Propaganda and Information Warfare: Both Ukrainian and Russian sources release footage to shape public perception and bolster morale. It’s critical to view all combat footage with a discerning eye, understanding that it represents a carefully curated slice of the larger conflict.

Human Cost: Beyond the explosions and gunfire, these videos underscore the profound human cost of war. These are real people fighting and dying, leaving behind families and shattered lives.
The Evolving Face of Conflict: Drones, Snipers, and Information Warfare
The footage from Ukraine highlights a few key trends in modern warfare. First, the increasing reliance on drones for reconnaissance, targeting, and even direct attacks is undeniable. These "eyes in the sky" offer a significant tactical advantage, but also raise ethical questions about the nature of remote warfare. Second, the role of highly skilled individuals, like snipers and special forces operators, becomes increasingly important in a conflict characterized by both open warfare and urban combat. Their ability to operate independently and inflict disproportionate damage makes them invaluable assets. Finally, the battle for hearts and minds, waged through carefully curated combat footage and online propaganda, is just as important as the fighting on the ground. This information war can shape public opinion, influence international support, and ultimately impact the outcome of the conflict.

Hamas Combat Footage Shows How They Fight Israeli TroopsOn Demand News8,223,707 views | 129,525 | March 3 2024 14:36:29 (13,584 comments)[ Read more … ]
Palestinian militant groups such as Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades regularly post videos of their forces in combat. But what do these videos reveal about the tactics they use against the Israeli military?
1. They rely heavily on ‘hit and run’ strikes.
2. They put significant resources into filming attacks.
3. Few attacks seem to result in vehicles being completely destroyed.
4. They frequently use makeshift devices such as homemade explosives.
5. Hamas are still capable of mounting armed resistance against Israeli forces.
Almost five months since Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October, it’s unclear how much closer Israel is to its goal of ‘destroying Hamas’. It’s also uncertain what will be left of Gaza even if the Israeli military is eventually successful.

Ukraine’s SNIPER Team Sets Perfect Ambush Against Russian BTR-82A! Ambush Intense Combat Footage!TEW22232,702 views | 4,076 | November 2 2024 16:17:06 (115 comments)[ Read more … ]
In the intense combat zone of Zolotaya Niva, Ukrainian forces are executing complex maneuvers to maintain control amid unrelenting Russian assaults. Recently, the 48th Separate Assault Battalion completed a high-risk personnel rotation using BTR-80 armored personnel carriers, ensuring that fresh Ukrainian infantry could relieve the weary frontline soldiers. As Ukrainian forces rotated under relentless artillery fire, Russia launched a coordinated assault from a different direction, attempting to break Ukrainian lines.
Anticipating this, the Ukrainian Hunter Drone Team targeted Russian armored vehicles, obliterating them before they could close in. Drones continued to strike, neutralizing nearby Msta-S artillery guns and destroying a Kamaz ammunition truck, crippling Russian supply routes and firepower. The coordinated use of drones and artillery neutralized multiple enemy assets, maintaining Ukraine’s defensive edge.
The situation escalated as Ukrainian REG Team ambushed a Russian landing party, destroying two BTR-82As with precise strikes. At the same time, sniper teams and drones monitored enemy positions, neutralizing soldiers attempting to infiltrate Ukrainian lines. In Kharkiv, Ukrainian forces dismantled Russian drone operations, striking bases concealed in civilian structures and disrupting Russia’s aerial surveillance. Meanwhile, Azov Brigade drones in the Toretsky direction disrupted ongoing “meat assaults” by Russian infantry, breaking apart advancing waves with pinpoint accuracy. This multi-layered defense showcases Ukraine’s tactical precision and technological prowess in countering large-scale assaults.
