  2. I have compiled these clips from a multitude of Telegram channels–mostly Russian–to create this super edit.

    This is the first wave of Russian VDV fighters landing and fighting at Hostomel Airport. @ 1:15 in the video, the second wave arrives and lands in the northern section of the airport. The famous video posted by the Russian Ministry of Defense most likely shows the second wave of VDV landing in the North. @ 1:25 in the video, Mi-8s are seen taking off and flying East. These are most likely the same–or apart of the same group of–helicopters seen in that famous video.

  3. Donate to Ukraine now! Donate only once or donate recurrently.

    Help Ukraine fight the nazi scum.If 2$ or 200$, it don’t matter… donate what you feel comfortable, just do it! It’s real help and we are so so many that know what ruzia is!

  4. Impressive how they got rect by conscripted young ukrains not knowing what the hell is going on in their country at that moment

  6. They don’t know it yet but these are literally their last hours alive.

  7. I like part 2 better. I think the title of the video was “Morning in Hostomel”

  8. Oh man… The Gopnik-Adidas Troops who were prepared for a glorious recieption as liberators and a NY-style victory parade through Kiev…

  10. They thought it was going to be a cake walk. Lmao

  11. “We got this Ivan. Let’s clean up and we are out in 48 hours. Three Day operation? I bet we can do it in two.”

    *Lights cigarette

  12. Who keeps posting this same clip over and over again? Come up with something new.. oh wait, VDV doesn’t do airborne ops anymore, they’re all on trench duty.. at least what’s left of them.

  13. The difference in gear and discipline is insane to what you normally see these days in the war, just shows not supporting troops up front makes any training irrelevant since they’ll eventually get overwhelmed unless I’m completely confusing the why they died aspect.

  15. I’ve busted nuts with more volume than that dinky Russian smoke grenade.

  16. it warms my heart to know everyone in this video is rotting

  18. Do you think when he lit his cigarette, he burnt his finger a bit?

  19. Footage that will be in the history books and future documentaries for decades to come

  20. They all are dead now.

    Three years later, we are seeing a bunch of drunks going to meatwave assault with crutches lmao, what happened, Russia?

  21. The Too Little Too Soon Invasion

    A country which was called “Rushia” attacked it’s peaceful neighbor….

  22. Fun fact, this entire unit was killed. Like, to a man. Everyone in this video is dead.

    You can be the most well armed, well disciplined unit out there but when your war consists of just throwing bodies at an enemy until you eventually take a position, it doesn’t fucking matter. Russia went from Modern Warfare tactics to trench warfare in a span of months. Most of their veteran personnel from previous wars are dead or crippled. The guys they got fighting are just losers who don’t belong there, dying for an old man’s power grab.

  23. The worst mistake Russia had made at start. Without air support and logistics they made an assault in middle of Ukraine.
    That was suicide mission. Probably made by some generals who wanted to prove themselves to Putin.
    If they started shelling Ukraine at the same time when this happened war would have been over in few weeks.

  24. it makes me very happy knowing this footage probably came off a body

  25. This was Russias Elite, equipped with the best Russia could offer, trained for this scenario. Sent into combat first, explicitly as shock troops to take over the Capital in a few days, largely wiped out at this point – and yet there are still some people out there telling you that we only have seen a bunch of Mobiks and Putin is “holding back” the armys “cream of the crop” after three years of this shitshow

  31. Ukraine saw this play coming after Russian did it in 2014. They thought it would work again, but Ukraine knew to look for it.

  33. Anyone care to explain why the FUCK an airfield seizure took place in broad daylight?

  34. crazy how Ukrainian reservists held off the elite of Russian armed forces for long enough for artillery to arrive and destroy airfield runways, making deployment of additional Russian forces by air impossible. these ~200 reservists basically saved Ukraine.
