Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Archival footage of a Russian aerial bomb, presumably FAB-500T, with a UMPK module, hitting the production facilities of the Ukrainian Motor Sich plant in Zaporozhye. The video was filmed on January 8. The FAB-500T bomb is heat-resistant, the warhead weighs 256 kg. Initially, the FAB-500T was designed to be dropped at high speeds, up to 2,500 km/h, by MiG-25RB aircraft. In this case, the bomb was dropped by a Russian Su-34NVO aircraft, from an altitude of about 10,000 meters and a flight speed of about 900 km/h. This allowed the FAB-500T bomb to fly more than 70 km to its target.

 
Footage of the strike of a Russian FAB-3000 bomb, with a UMPK module, on a temporary deployment point of Ukrainian units, on the outskirts of the village of Martynovka in the Kursk region of Russia. Technical information about the FAB-3000 bomb, in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The attack was carried out by a Russian Su-34 aircraft. It is worth noting that Ukrainian units in 2024 were also stationed on the territory of this livestock complex, then it was also struck. Reportedly, personnel of the Ukrainian army were secretly stationed on the territory of the livestock complex.

 
An episode of the battle of the Ukrainian mechanized column in the Krasnolimansk direction. The Ukrainian group, consisting of the Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicle, the M113 infantry fighting vehicle and an armored vehicle, tried to counterattack the positions of Russian motorized riflemen from the 144th division. Technical information about all the equipment is on the channel. Judging by the video, the Russian army expected a counterattack by Ukrainian units. As reported, as a result of an attack by Russian FPV drones, artillery and planted mines, the Ukrainian column was destroyed. The personnel of the Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicles, the units are unknown, dispersed across the battlefield, but were attacked by Russian drones, the episode was removed from the video.

 
Homemade cartridges designed to intercept drones have begun to be produced in the Russian Yakut detachment "Botur" of the BARS-2 battalion. Testing at the training ground and use against drones is at the end of the video. The production of cartridges against drones was organized by a serviceman with the call sign "Chess Player". The cartridges are used in Kalashnikov assault rifles of 5.45 mm caliber. The technology is very simple. A plastic tube is taken. Shot is inserted into it, after which the plastic tube is heated. As a result of heating, the plastic compresses the shot, and a ready-made bullet is obtained. Then, bullets are removed from the standard cartridges of Kalashnikov assault rifles using a machine and a bullet filled with shot is inserted in their place using another machine. To reduce the risk of jamming the machine, the bullet with shot is made shorter. We do not know how effective these cartridges are, but they are already being used to destroy drones in Ukraine.

 
Footage of a multiple missile strike by Russian Tornado-S cluster munitions in the area of the 18th separate brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard. The video was filmed 5 km northwest of the village of Slavyansk, according to some sources, this is in the area of the village of Glubokaya Makatikha. The strike used a Russian, presumably 300 mm Tornado-S MLRS, equipped with a 9M55K rocket with a cluster warhead. The 9M55K missile has 72 9N235 warheads, each containing 360 and 96 sokoloks, weighing from 0.75 to 4.5 grams. Judging by the video, there was a lot of military equipment and the missile strike was truly large-scale, but it is impossible to assess its consequences. Officially, 28 units of military equipment of the Ukrainian National Guard were reported to have been damaged. Most of the equipment was trucks and cars.

 
With drones being used extensively in combat in Ukraine, it appears that the Russian army has an excess of drones in some areas of the front. Footage has been released of three Russian drones striking a Ukrainian M113A2 armored personnel carrier. The M113 armored personnel carriers were developed in the United States in 1957. Near the town of Dvurechnaya in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, a Ukrainian M113A2 armored personnel carrier was attacked by a Lancet drone, a Vandal FPV drone, and a third drone dropped ammunition on the armored personnel carrier. Judging by the video, the combat vehicle had been abandoned earlier by the crew.

 
Episodes of combat work in Ukraine, the Russian tank T-72 with protection type "Tsar-mangal" have been published. In addition to protection, the tank is also equipped with electronic warfare systems. The T-72 is used by the 4th motorized rifle brigade of the Armed Forces of Russia. During the military operations in Ukraine, the tank is also used to deliver supplies and land troops. According to the crew of the T-72 tank, their version of the "Tsar-mangal" protection can withstand up to 20 attacks by Ukrainian FPV drones. Judging by the video, the tank's protection really copes with many attacks by Ukrainian drones.

 
Footage of the attack of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" on a rare Ukrainian Bärgningsbandvagn 90 ARV. The Bgbv 90 repair and recovery vehicle was created on the basis of the CV-90 IFV in Sweden in the first half of the 90s. The Bgbv 90 ARV is valued by the troops, as it is capable of evacuating not only Leopard 2 tanks but also Abrams tanks. The Bgbv 90 ARV is equipped with a crane, a rotating winch, welding and other repair equipment. A 7.62 mm M / 39S machine gun is used for protection. The Bgbv 90 crew is four people. The video was filmed during an attempt to break through the Ukrainian Bgbv 90 ARV from the Sumy region of Ukraine to the Kursk region of Russia. External filming was not carried out.

 
An episode of a battle by Russian Special Operations Forces (SSO), presumably in one of the rear areas of Ukraine, has been published. The video shows the storming of a stronghold of the Ukrainian army. The Russian Special Operations Forces detachment used several subgroups. One "attack" subgroup made a passage in the barriers, snipers worked to protect the perimeter. The second "capture" subgroup carries out a direct assault on the stronghold. The third "support" subgroup cuts off possible routes of assistance from enemy reserves and ensures the withdrawal of the assault group to the assembly point after completing the task. As a result of the SSO operation, the stronghold was captured, an unknown Ukrainian unit was captured, the video has been shortened.

 
Footage of the attack of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, on the Ukrainian FV105 Sultan command and staff vehicle. The second drone attacked a nearby M113 armored personnel carrier, apparently it came to help. The FV105 Sultan command and staff vehicle has been produced in the UK since 1978, with a total of 136 units produced. The FV105 Sultan hull contains up to 4 radio stations, a table for topographic maps and tablets, and additional batteries. The FV105 Sultan is armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun. The FV105 Sultan crew is up to six people. The Russian army also has captured FV105 Sultans. Judging by the video, the combat vehicles have already been abandoned by their crews. The video was filmed near the village of Petrovskoye on the Svatovo-Kremennaya front.

A Russian T-72 tank with Tsar-Mangal protection, called "Gorynych", is evacuating a Ukrainian M113 armored personnel carrier. This version of the T-72 tank's protection is currently invulnerable to drones. The video shows two tanks with Tsar-Mangal protection. The M113 armored personnel carrier was developed in the United States in 1959. The reason why the Ukrainian servicemen abandoned the armored personnel carrier is unknown; visually, it appears to be undamaged.

 
The interrogation of senior soldier of the Ukrainian Army Yevhen Fabrisenko. From September 28 to November 24, 2024, he and his colleagues killed 11 men and 11 women in the Kursk region, eight of whom were raped.

an episode of a battle of a Russian unit, during the storming of a stronghold of the Ukrainian army located in a former livestock complex. The video allows you to immerse yourself in the real atmosphere of the war in Ukraine. The authors did not report the location of the shooting and which Ukrainian and Russian units participated in the battle. The video is shortened, the music inserted by the authors has been replaced, where possible, the original sound of the battle was left. Judging by the video, the assault was carried out by several Russian units from different directions, they were attacked by Ukrainian drones of the Baba Yaga type and DJI mavic drones. Presumably, mobilized military personnel participated in the battle. Armored vehicles supported the attack from the other side during the assault.
