I’m willing to bet over 90% of the men in this video are now dead.
Just slap some orchestral score on this lame shit and call it propaganda.
back when they had helicopters and trucks instead of turtle tanks and golf carts and god knows what
I hope they’re all liquidated by now.
look at that, actual soldiers, machines, weapons…now they have homeless yobliks, norks and rusty zhigulies and ak’s from some damp siberian warehouses. and they didn’t even keep the airport.
Is the convoy shown on :39 for a half second the same convoy that got stuck because they used cheap Chinese knock off michelin tires?
And they prob paid full price for those tires too
I know they were special forces (or so I remember) but the contrast is stark, man. How organized, equipped, professional-looking they were, compared to.. whatever we can see in footage these days.
Great video, interesting to see from the loser’s perspective 😏
Though, and this is total “shit off the top of my head”, this is much closer to how (as a non vet) I imagined a war looking before the whole trench warfare, 21st Century Edition, thing… I guess it’s being brough up on a diet of ARMA, CoD, Combat Mission, it’s all that kinda “doing dangerous stuff in an environment that looks fairly close to normal (less a few bullet holes)”.
Not sure what point I’m trying to make, I just kinda had an almost “nostalgia” hit 😅Appreciate that that’s an awful thing to say given the circumstances, and super glad about the way Hostomel went, but just spewing what came to mind….
longest ongoing 3 day invasion ever.
All forgotten like dog shit on the side of the road.
As far as archival footage is concerned, it’s good footage. However, if someone added video of the factual ending of this failed operation, that, my friends, would be a historical work of art.
It’s weird looking back in any footage of this war from back in 2022 now, on either side. I always just think about how many of these guys are probably KIA now.
how did this operation end?
All dead…
Where they all now?… dead
I hope they’re all dead by now.
Are there any good day by day, hour by hour breakdowns of this event interspersed with footage?
I came across a few on YouTube, but most of them were put together in a very amateur way.
Good to know they were wiped out by the Ukrainian National Guard.
How bad did this turn out for the Russians?
They look well equipped, well led and well trained.
WTF happened?
I remember the armored columns in a pincer move on Kiev. It should have worked…. Everyone certainly thought it would, even many Ukrainians.
Years of poorly maintained vehicles, poor training and graft stopped them in their tracks.
Completely different war, kitted out soldiers, proper vehicles, organization and the illusion this would be done in a matter of days.
You can tell the difference between this russian army and the russian army Putin made after almost 3 years of hard work.
The guy on the stretcher is probably the lucky guy in the end. Maybe medically discharged and avoided the slaughter of the past 3 years.
Didn’t they lose the airport fairly early on?
RIP Mriya.
Hah, most of these fucks are long dead.
The first and second day of a 3-day Special Military Operation eh?
Wow they actually look like a coherent unit. Glad they are all probably dead now. Rip antonov AN-225
There is a very good chance. Every vehicle, helicopter, and soldier seen in this video have been destroyed or have died. The soldiers’ bodies are still probably lying in a field somewhere.
That battle pretty much saved Ukraine . Had they lost that Airport the Russians were going to land piles of transports there and overrun the capital. The Ukrainians fought bravely against what at the time were considered elite Russian troops. I think eventually they called artillery to blow up their own runaway . Epic fight to be part of that’s for sure .
Look how much more competent they seemed. Cutting, pieing corners, clearing buildings methodically…and now it’s like watching a bunch of Arma noobs bum rush like it’s COD lol
I love that the US gave Ukrainians every piece of information they needed, and then Ukraine executed. Ruthlessly.
I like the way they filmed this, like they were the heroes of the story, the absolute best all equipped with plot armor, capable to go everywhere, do anything and fly around Ukraine with no fear.
It’s hilarious how fast that idea crumbled once their choppers started falling out of the skies and their stupid column rush of barely armored VDV got ambushed and destroyed again and again in village after village.
They brought megaphones, they truly and honestly thought Ukraine would just hand them their country
From my understanding these men died when Ukraine denied them access to the landing strips and reinforcements were halted (those massive C17 planes with hundreds of troops)
The Ukrainians knew the invasion plan. The Russians used the same tactics they used in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan. They always go for the airports first. The Ukrainians knew if they stopped them at the airport, the Russians would loose the initiative.
This is the footage of Russia’s VDV being decimated within the 1st week of the war. They would never be the same fighting force after this battle. They were combat ineffective within the first week.
800,000 Russian casualties. The russians have lost more than the the US did during WW2.
