Ukraine war combat footage
These supplies still continue via preprepared “ratlines,” and explain Ukraine’s continued successes against Russian armoured columns. Meanwhile, the Russian MoD says it has shot down 11 Ukrainian aircraft, seven helicopters and destroyed 47 aircraft on the ground, whilst also downing 46 drones. On 1 March the Ukrainian MoD said a high-ranking fighter pilot, Col Oleksandr Oksanchenko (a former display pilot at RIAT) had been shot down and killed flying a Su-27 fighter. Visual confirmation of Ukrainian losses from social media includes An-26 transport, Su25 ground attack aircraft and a Su-27 fighter, as well as a number of MiG-29s seen destroyed on the ground.

Today that it was not able to identify a legitimate military target at, or close to, the scene of the strike. The Chernihiv Regional Administration reported that 47 people – 38 men and nine women – were killed in the strike. Footage shows eight munitions being dropped in close succession and falling in a line, typical of such a bombing run.
If nothing else, modern warfare will consign to history the idea that conflict is an honourable, ennobling pursuit. One can see how that made sense when men picked up their blades, mounted their horses and charged into battle. Not so when you can train your whole adult life for the moment when you are wiped out by an unfeeling device you never hear or see. The footage has been submitted to the International Criminal Court and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights as part of their ongoing investigations into war crimes by Russian forces. Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, told a Nato summit in March that Russia had used white phosphorus against civilians in his country. “Adults were killed again and children were killed again,” Mr Zelensky said.
Ukrainian troops have also been accused of abuses, and last year Kyiv said it would investigate video circulating online that Moscow alleged showed Ukrainian forces killing Russian troops who may have been trying to surrender. The video spread quickly online and drew outrage from officials in Kyiv including President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as international organisations. With Russian landing craft at sea within the Baltic, Swedish military commanders were also concerned, sending troops to the streets of the Baltic island of Gotland, seen as a likely potential target for Russian seizure in any more with the Baltic states.
According to soldiers on the frontline, avoiding being killed is near impossible as they are often outnumbered ten to one by Russian troops. Thick plumes of smoke can be seen rising from the city as tanks fire relentlessly and troops scramble for cover. The small city of Bakhmut is facing a fierce Russian onslaught from three sides - with Ukrainian forces fighting there claiming they have just a four-hour life expectancy. Ukraine's deputy defence minister said Kyiv's forces were still holding out in Soledar despite a massive Russian onslaught. The soldiers from the so-called "Wagner Group" are pictured being blitzed by Ukrainian troops in the battle for Soledar. Raw combat footage from the Ukraine war in 2022 shows the ultimate brutality of close quarters combat.
The Russian defence ministry published video footage of the cruise missiles being launched from the Black Sea and said they had hit unspecified ground targets in Ukraine. Ukraine’s defence minister Oleksii Reznikov wants Germany and Britain to send his country Eurofighter Typhoon jets to combat Russian air attacks, he said in an interview published on Tuesday by the Funke media group. According to their account, four drones, with small explosive payloads, were launched from inside a wooded area outside Moscow. Two got through to the target before being shot down, one possibly by rifle fire from the ground. The drone attacks, which targeted wealthy areas of Moscow - including an suburb where president Putin has a residence - hurt two people and caused minor damage to buildings, Russia said. In another apparent incident of Kyiv’s forces harassing Russia, Ukraine’s defence ministry published footage on Thursday that appeared to show an unmanned drone boat attacking Russia’s Ivan Khurs reconnaissance ship in the Black Sea.
"The Ukrainian defence still holds the western districts of the town but has been subjected to particularly intense Russian artillery fire over the previous 48 hours," the MoD said. Pictures of Mr Stoltenberg apparently paying tribute to fallen Ukrainian soldiers in Kyiv's St Michael's Square were published by local media. Fighting has raged in and around Bakhmut in Donetsk region for months, with Ukrainian forces holding out.
It noted that Russia has launched 20 nights of one-way-attack uncrewed aerial vehicle and cruise missile attacks deep inside Ukraine this month. The centre said on the Telegram messaging service that Ukrainian forces had used HIMARS rocket launchers to attack a poultry farm in the village of Karpaty. "The UK acts as Ukraine’s ally providing it with military aid in the form of equipment and specialists, i.e., de facto is leading an undeclared war against Russia," Medvedev said on Twitter. His comments came after foreign secretary James Cleverly said Ukraine had the right to “project force beyond its borders” into Russia to resist Mr Putin’s invasion. Artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity and the risks should be treated with the same urgency as nuclear war, dozens of experts have warned – including the pioneers who developed it.
The number of helicopters and helicopter hours has increased specifically since the US marines arrived with us in Helmand. Putin’s words contained the untruth that his goal was not a “limited military operation” in a province, but actually the total subjugation of a neighbouring sovereign country. Since then it has become illegal in Russia to refer to the campaign as a war, or anything other than the president’s carefully chosen phraseology.
