Looks like a giant dead dragonfly.
This video was pretty iconic in my opinion as we saw the shear force of Russia dumping 100s of thousands of soldiers and almost every piece of modern equipment they had into Ukraine and experts saying it was going to be over within a few weeks or months with Russia capturing all of Ukraine.
We obviously know how that turned out but for the small force (compared to Russia at the time) to be able to fight back and hold off the “2nd army in the world” was really impressive to see and these guys excitement when Ukraine shoots down some of the helicopters is palpable giving a feeling of hope at the time of all the doomsday reports by experts. Most started to realize with these videos and when grandma’s and normal civilians started showing up to make molotov cocktails and get fire arms training that this country wasn’t going to oppressed any longer.
