On July 18, several videos documenting recent Russian combat operations against Kiev forces were posted to social networks.

15 of the videos show dozens of attacks with FPV suicide drones, grenade-dropping drones, and interceptor drones that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment, in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, Sumy and several other directions in the special military operation zone.

Two other videos show recent airstrikes that targeted Ukrainian positions and fortifications in two different areas in the direction of Sumy.

The pinpoint airstrikes were carried out by warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Force using UMPK-equipped guided glide bombs.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Kiev forces have lost 664 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 70,353 drones, 619 air defense systems, 24,249 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,577 multiple rocket launchers, 27,529 artillery pieces, and 38,351 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.

yes, it is a geostrategic war against russia and the insane nato west must be stopped, but such brutal mincing videos are useless voyeuristic obsessions. all those fighting there are mostly poor sods, especially the forcibly recruited ukrainians, and watching people being barbarically dismembered is disgusting, whether it’s russians, ukrainians or anyone else!!!!

better for those ukrainians to fight “recruiters” to the death in their own streets than be forced to die in a hole somewhere in a field or some bombed out town.

killing people who actively fight for the afu is sending a brutal message to those who would fight for groups that would assist organizations that want an invasion of third worlders in russia or attempt to ruin russia with leftist lgbt politics.

also i have noticed that now russian media is matching the raw depiction of brutality that has been shown of the ukraine-russia conflict for years now.
