Footage of the first downing of a Russian Mi-8 helicopter by a Ukrainian FPV drone. The video was filmed in the Donetsk region. The FPV drone was used by soldiers from the 59th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army. Judging by the video, the FPV drone was patrolling a road when, upon spotting the helicopter, the operator decided to attack. As a result of the drone strike, the Mi-8 helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing. The helicopter's crew was evacuated, and the helicopter itself burned on the ground. A Russian Ka-52 helicopter provided cover for the evacuation team. It's worth noting that this isn't the first attempt to down a helicopter; sooner or later, it would have happened.

Corroborated from multiple sources. However, there is nothing final as of now.
Footage of Russian aircraft using D-30SN guided, multi-service air-glide munitions. The D-30SN bombs were dropped by a Russian Su-34 frontline fighter-bomber. The video shows Russian D-30SN bombs striking a drone launch site belonging to the 152nd Separate Jaeger Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The video was presumably filmed in the Pokrovsk area.
The video shows a Ukrainian FPV drone attempting to attack a Russian ATV belonging to soldiers of the 83rd Separate Guards Airborne Assault Brigade. Judging by the video, the ATV is equipped with extensive electronic warfare systems, which may have contributed to the drone's miss.
A Ukrainian firefighter witnessed the impacts of Russian FAB bombs, the location of the shooting was not reported..
A combat episode involving Russian special forces in Ukraine. The video shows Russian special forces ambush a foot patrol and attack a Ukrainian army pickup truck. Filmed in the rear area of Ukraine, the exact location is not disclosed. The dead have been removed from the video
The use of a tracked kamikaze drone by the Russian 33rd Berlin Don Cossack Motorized Rifle Regiment in combat in Ukraine. The video shows a Russian ground-based kamikaze drone striking a Ukrainian army stronghold. The model of the robotic platform and the location of the filming were not disclosed. Such kamikaze drones are typically equipped with a TM-62M anti-tank mine. It's worth noting that ground-based kamikaze drones are increasingly being used in combat in Ukraine.
Ukrainian An-196 "Lyuty" kamikaze drones attacked the Russian Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery in Orsk, Orenburg Oblast. The refinery is located approximately 1,500 km from the Ukrainian border. The Orsk refinery is one of the largest in Russia, processing approximately 6.5 million tons of oil per year
Footage of the first unconventional use of the Russian Lancet-52 kamikaze drone, which struck a Ukrainian gas distribution facility near the village of Khorobichi in Ukraine's Chernihiv Oblast. Judging by the video, the drone strike damaged the gas distribution facility's equipment. For an unknown reason, the Geran-2 drone was not used in the attack.
problem with russia is that they dint arm other countries with lethal weapons which would have kept US engaged. Once countries like syria,iran,cuba...etc crumbled US could directly deal with russia without worrying about secondary consequences else where.
Even then, this is stupidity from US. They are testing Russian red lines and history should have taught USA better so as to not target Russian home land. Germany made the same mistake and paid the price during WWII.
Nope americans are smart, even though russians know that american personnel are directing ukraine attacks there is nothing much russia can do.. What is that russia can do , bomb ukraine at the max. US will just walk away without any consequences. This is how west has been fighting wars with zero impact on them militarily.
No one cares about imaginary russian red lines. Why talk ? let russia take action to prevent them from launching those long range tomahawk missiles. If you observe US is testing those so called redlines and stealthily breaching them. They are constantly raising the stake while russia is just left to bomb ukraine at the max. At this rate wouldnt be surprised if we see ballistic missiles being launched by ukraine while russia keeps blabbering.
US will only stop if they get impacted like iran getting nukes or saudi/jordan govt get over thrown or israel getting hammered or venezuela starts to sell oil to wider market. There should be a real impact. Very fact russians are still selling refined uranium to US says russia does not have much choice.
I have a feeling that Iran is very close to a bomb, time will tell. Also, Russia can force US’s hand by attacking a nato country directly with drones/missiles and see if US wants to get its hand dirty and join the war directly against Russia.
If they could they would have already done it. This is the very reason why major NATO countries like france , germany...etc or even side kicks like lithunia are brazenly egging for a greater war on russia, they dont think russia has the guts to fight NATO. If russia was strong enuf to start a war on NATO then these monkeys would have kept silent. A contained war is only benefitting the europe not the russians. Thats the reason they want to continue the war , just keep supplying ukraine at no risk to them. If there was a risk to europe then war would have stopped by now.
They are not so stupid, they only go when every thing is completely done. US is a country that fights war in several stages, they only land troops when they are completely sure that enemy is in the last stage of collapse. Russia has nukes and US fears it like hell, thats how soviets have set the expectation.
Iranians have big mouth, they should have had the bomb by now. Instead they are crawling and rolling on the ground to save the existing installations. If Iranians had tested the bomb by now , israel & US would think twice about bombing them. NK is smarter than Iran, for all practical purpose.
I expect the war to take a dirty turn by the end of this year or beginning next year. Trump is a bull headed man and he has full potential to antagonise Putin.
So far, the Russian main land has not been hit (except few isolated instances, nothing major). What do you think happens if Ukraine get some long range BMs or cruise missiles that they can use to target Moscow. If this happens and Russia bombs Ukraine alone, I will accept your point — but, I highly doubt this.
Lastly, there is no legitimate way to get Russia in a position where they don’t have the Nukes and worlds deadliest delivery mechanism and quite a few of them. Therefore, in the event of Russia deciding to beat NATO’s rear, USA will most likely be a mute spectator.
Footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile strike on a camouflaged Ukrainian M142 HIMARS multiple launch rocket system. A transporter-loader vehicle and other vehicles, as well as approximately 15 personnel, were also located in the wooded area. An Iskander-M air-burst missile equipped with a shrapnel warhead was used in the strike. The video was filmed near the village of Sredniy Burluk in the Kharkiv region. Judging by the video, the Ukrainian military equipment was concentrated in a cluster, and a precise explosion in the center destroyed all of it with shrapnel
Footage of a Russian FAB-3000 bomb with a UMPK module striking a Ukrainian bridge over the Seversky-Donets River. The FAB-3000 bomb was dropped by a Russian Su-34 aircraft. The video was filmed between Krasny Liman and Slavyansk, near the village of Raygorodok. Judging by the video, a temporary crossing was built near the bridge.
The FAB-3000 bomb struck the bridge, destroying the bridge span and damaging the crossing
