Hobbyist Drone Operator Films Intense Firefight Along Ukrainian Highway by Jakumo(m): 10:38am On Mar 06, 2022 |
For the first time in history perhaps, a hobbyist private drone operator sent up his bird to record high-resolution film footage of an ongoing firefight pitting Ukrainian soldiers against the might of Russian infantry, that went down along a strategically vital stretch of highway a couple of days ago. The footage is so clear that one can see the Ukrainian soldiers dismount from their armored vehicles and fan out along the highway in battle formation while exchanging brutal and sustained fire with the Russians who also give a very good account of themselves in this frenzied exchange. As mortar shells and RPG grenades explode periodically in the pitched battle, bursts of heavy machinegun fire rent the air and shake the ground, under the impassive eye in the sky that also picks out a few brave troopers sneaking up along the sides of the firestorm to relocate themselves alongside the enemies' flanks in preparation for opening fire from new positions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1dXAs2ybIU Bravo to the drone pilot who captured this astonishingly clear footage. 4 Likes |

ObamaMessi: Military strategists currently agree that while Russia will overwhelm Ukraine's cities with sheer numbers of combatants in the short term, the fighting will then shift away from urban centers and evolve into a drawn-out hit-and-run guerrilla war of attrition during which Russian occupying troops find themselves getting picked off selectively by hidden snipers, drone strikes and booby traps, all of which will keep this conflict on a slow boil for many months or even years into the future. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Or Russian forces will not occupy Ukraine but instead Russian Leadership will seek to incorporate captured Ukrainian cities and oblast into the newly Russian recognized Republic. That will directly take the stress away from Russia and a civilian administration from both DPR and LPR will fare better and find it easier to manage those rich southeastern and northeastern Ukrainian Oblast than a Russian Military administration that will be viewed as an occupation force Jakumo: 4 Likes |

wealthtrak: No doubt more footage of this type will emerge over the course of this war. It is likely that drone operators may even become bolder and send their drones to lower altitudes where the faces of the combatants will become clearly visible as they confront one another in do-or-die battles. Modern drones are now equipped with cameras that are capable of zooming in to record highly magnified scenes on the ground with astonishing clarity, so even from a height of just 200 feet, a commercially available hobbyist grade drone can loiter quietly above an ongoing firefight without ever being noticed during the heat of the battle. A new and exciting era of war journalism has dawned with Europe as the testing ground where small eyes in the sky strut their stuff. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

This very short drone video clip again shows with remarkable clarity never before seen from a civilian drone, the havoc wreaked on Russian tanks by Ukrainian artillery. Mad Vlad Putin will NOT be happy to see the carnage being inflicted on his invading hordes of ill-equipped troops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-nJ52aUGdE |

In this new video clip, a brave Ukrainian soldier lets fly with an NLAWS shoulder-fired anti-tank missile launcher, obliterating a Russian tank, and causing absolute panic among the troops and vehicles remaining in the armored column. As the Ukrainian drone observes the fun and games impassively overhead, Russian soldiers can be seen disgorging from their vehicles like ants, and sprinting for cover under fire like Olympic athletes, while Ukrainian snipers attempt to pick them off individually with small arms fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfRcmJTAouM This is yet another instance of "Wota don pass garri" for the Rusian invaders. 2 Likes |

The Ukrainian war shows that cheap hobby-grade drones are versatile tools in urban warfare. Here is some new footage showing a Russian truck being shadowed by a Ukrainian drone overhead, whose operator was obviously able to alert an ambush team on the ground so that they could be ready to serve up a rocket-propelled grenade that caused the truck to crash after sending the driver to his ancestors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I09fBeM_g0E |

In yet more drone footage a Russian tank is blown asunder under the gaze of a Ukrainian hobby-grade drone. Good shooting fellas, and regarding the Ruskies in that tank, one can only home they are qualified to receive 72 virgins in Paradise, because they are truly phucked if not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD8A18rM9oU |

Drone fans will no doubt be hankering for more footage of Russian tanks and heavy armor getting annihilated by Ukrainian troops firing shoulder-launched anti-tank ordnance. Hanker no more, my drone-flying brethren, for your wish is my command. Here we have a massive Russian T-72 battle tank being reduced to rubble by a single Ukrainian fighter lurking nearby. Note how the tank occupants bail out from the tank like so many terrified termites so as to scamper for dear life as their armored sanctuary proceeds to burn and threaten to explode with all the tank projectiles stored therein. Once again wotta don pass garri and man pikin must dialog with his legs in a very urgent manner, while the drone aloft observes for the record, and for the viewing pleasure of youtube fans worldwide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fngPVC4V4Gk |

Yet another fireworks display was caught by our intrepid drone operators in Ukraine. Here a couple more Ruskie tanks are blown asunder in cleverly staged ambushes. It is really humbling to think that a single man holding a shoulder-launched missile system can utterly annihilate a gigantic 42-ton Russian T-72 battle tank "protected" by such formidable-looking armor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpphQ7xdAD4 |

The action is hotting up in Ukraine, and just today some new combat footage has been released that includes both aerial imagery as well as film footage recorded by advancing Ukrainian troops locking horns with the Ruskie invaders who were eventually driven into chaotic retreat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss9IhqS8YRI |

Oooooweee Boy have I got a treat for drone fans today! This is a true David versus Goliath duel to the death, pitting a single Ukrainian battle tank against an entire CONVOY of Russian armor, once again captured in crystal clear detail by that ubiquitous eye in the sky - a simple hobby-grade DJI drone. For ease of understanding what is unfolding amid the fog of war, the video producers have marked the Russian tanks with that nation's flag, so that one can see them letting fly with everything they have, launching volley after volley of red hot ordnance in a desperate do-or-die effort to escape death and demolish the lone Ukrainian tank, which, supported by Ukrainian artillery salvos served up hot, dispatches the fearsome enemy one tank at a time until there is nothing left but burning rubble full of charred Russian cadavers. Without further ado, check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfTrQiFkWyk 3 Likes |

I just stumbled on a fascinating Yahoo News article about how cheap Chinese made drones are being used to devastating effect by Ukrainian soldiers who deploy the observation drones not to drop missiles but simply to work with artillery gunners by supplying them with real-time fire correction instructions that enables the artillery batteries to home in on those pesky Ruskies with surgical precision, so as to blow them asunder with thunderous rolling barrages of Howitzer high-explosive shells. https://www.yahoo.com/news/big-guns-small-drones-become-080319545.html 2 Likes |

A few days ago a volunteer force of English-speaking warriors fighting on the Ukrainian side filmed themselves sneaking through a forest to light up a couple of Russian armored vehicles with anti-tank rounds. While the fighters filmed their approach with helmet cameras, their drone loitered above to film the devastation wrought on those Russian armored personnel carriers even as the attackers melted into the forest after completing their audacious assignment. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scwCGABmRo4 |

This intense firefight was filmed by an American volunteer fighting on the side of Ukraine as part of the legendary French Foreign Legion. This footage comes out of the besieged city of Severodonetsk. The most dangerous and ferocious aspect of warfare is without question urban street battles that rage from house to house, and street to street, where the enemy could be right around that very next corner ready to open fire or engage in do-or-die hand-to-hand combat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI15lsQ90Es |

The following video clip shows the savagery of trench warfare, in which men stalk each other through zig-zag layouts of trenches where death can be round any corner turned. Watch as a brave soldier fights to the very death when he is cut off from his retreating comrades and left to face multiple attackers. Numerous grenades are thrown at the sole defender by advancing enemy troops, and to his credit, he managed to hastily throw out two grenades to avoid their blast, before he was finally cut down with a direct hit from yet another well-aimed grenade. Drones are providing the world with a view of front-line combat that was never in the past available. Those small, unnoticeable eyes in the sky never blink, and record all they see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnIWEVtqolE |
