Ukraine War: Videos Reveal Frontline Realities – A Veteran’s Perspective
This ain’t your grandpappy’s war. Forget the sanitized newsreels. The videos collected here pull back the curtain on the brutal reality of the fighting in Ukraine, showing the raw, unfiltered truth—the kind I saw firsthand in Iraq and Afghanistan. These aren’t just explosions and battlefield maneuvers; they’re glimpses into the lives and deaths of soldiers, the agonizing choices they face, and the sheer, relentless pressure of combat. We’ll examine everything from the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of tactics, the impact of Western weaponry, and even the unexpected human moments that emerge from the chaos—moments of both brutality and surprising compassion. Prepare for a stark look at the war, unvarnished and uncut.
Key Takeaways
Brutal Effectiveness of Ukrainian Defenses: Videos showcase the devastating effectiveness of Ukrainian defensive strategies, particularly the use of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and drone strikes against concentrated Russian assaults. One video highlights a Russian mechanized assault that resulted in the loss of over 100 soldiers in a short timeframe due to a lack of artillery support and poor coordination. This points to significant weaknesses in Russian military doctrine and execution.
Combined Arms Operations and Western Weaponry: Footage depicts successful Ukrainian combined arms operations, utilizing Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Abrams tanks, and drones working in concert. This demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating Western-supplied equipment into Ukrainian military strategy, significantly enhancing their combat capabilities.
The Human Cost of War: A video shows a Ukrainian drone unit choosing to rescue an injured Russian soldier rather than kill him, offering a rare glimpse of humanity amidst the conflict. This highlights the complex moral dilemmas faced by combatants on both sides.

Urban Warfare and its Horrors: Several videos depict the intense urban warfare in cities like Toretsk and Chasiv Yar, emphasizing the challenges and brutality of close-quarters combat. The footage underscores the devastating impact of the war on civilian infrastructure and the human toll on the combatants.
The Information War: The sheer volume of videos circulating online, from various sources, underscores the importance of the information war and the challenges of verifying the authenticity and context of combat footage.
Analysis and Future Trends
The videos highlight a clear disparity in tactical proficiency and battlefield coordination between the Russian and Ukrainian forces. The Russians’ repeated failures in coordinated assaults, coupled with their heavy losses, suggest a significant gap in training, leadership, and technological integration. The success of Ukrainian combined arms operations, leveraging Western equipment, indicates a potential turning point in the conflict.
The continued reliance on drones for both offensive and reconnaissance missions is a defining characteristic of this war. This trend is likely to continue, driving further innovation in drone technology and its integration into modern warfare. The ethical implications of drone warfare, especially concerning collateral damage and the potential for autonomous weapons systems, remain a critical area of concern.

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.

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.

Ukrainian drone tries to kill Russian soldier – then returns and saves his lifeThe Telegraph5,938,863 views | 66,960 | September 24 2024 18:54:29 (11,176 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.
