  1. Same intersection as the Wiki page for the battle as shown by the red roof building in the background and the grey dumpster being used as a barricade (NSFW): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hostomel#/media/File:Battle_of_Hostomel,_04.03.2021,_Skirmish_Aftermath_(cropped).jpg

    Same intersection as the Russian BMD aftermath footage as shown by the store signs (Very NSFW): https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/t5y7bl/russian_bmd_in_gostomel/

  2. This is the one where there were just little bits of VDV all over the road afterwards? I’ve been looking for footage of the actual ambush for 2 years now. I saw the immediate precursor, with Ukrainians moving into position, and I’ve seen the immediate aftermath videos. 

  3. Is this the russian point of view? Is that a russian car in the beginning shooting?

  4. That was around the time I realized it’s gonna be nasty for Russia. Later I realized it‘s gonna be impossible for Russia to fulfill the operation.

  5. You can tell it’s early in the war because the buildings haven’t been completely annihilated.

  6. Everyone is dying and the language is beeped out… What a world

  7. This and the close range Russian tank were real eye openers

  8. Brave fuckers, standing about what, just over 50 meters from 2 bmps burning up and cooking off rounds and shit, with no cover?

    Ah shit I forgot. Camera man never dies. Silly me.

  9. I have the original video and some. Pretty much on that same day. The two guys standing around talking to someone on the radio. And him turning around and all those bodies. On the ground and on the IFV, one dangling . I even have the after math maybe a day later with charred bodies. I think maybe some vehicles were set in fire later on cause. They weren’t on fire the day before.

  10. Ambush is an ambush, it can happen to anyone who is negligent when passing through enemy teritorry

  11. The day VDV ceased to exist as it was once known lmao 😂

  12. Pretty brazen of them to be standing in the open while munitions are cooking off. Only takes one piece of shrapnel to ruin your day.

  13. Glad they protected my delicate senses from those harsh words while I watch death and destruction play out.😂

  14. Reminds me of the a few vids from the beginning of the renewed invasion of an IFV of some sort on fire and driving fast past the camera man and you could just hear screaming from the IFV, also the clips of an aftermath of an ambush on possible VDV where the IFV is completely destroyed and their just chunks of humans and clothing all over the place, haven’t seen it since and kinda glad but damn was it a crazy time at the start of it all, never lost hope in the Ukrainians tho

  15. The arrogance of these guys to think they could drive in during broad daylight and roll whoever they came upon is really something.

  16. Is this a video from THE ambush near the glass factory?

  17. This isn’t an ambush this is an aftermath of an ambush. OP should update title.

  18. Someday there will be whole books written about what happened north of Kyiv.
