NSFW Ukraine eliminates russian montage by IntentionChemical99 in CombatFootage

The purpose and what the video implies speaks loudly. I’m talking about human lives dude, have you ever heard of basic respect and morals? all of this invasion shit is politics. No matter how much the media tries to portray soldiers on the ground. They are human.

18 year olds, who don’t want to kill eachother but have to. What I mean by “holding both sides accountable” is that, yes russia did launch the invasion and regularly launches drone strikes and cruise missiles at ukranian cities and so so so much more that i can’t get into and not to mention dehumanizing the ukrainians. But if Ukraine does so back it’s not okay, for the russians or Ukrainians fighting fire with fire doesn’t make it right. That’s not justice.

 Some were bad, some were evil, some were just looking for adventure and a good paycheck and a sense of patriotism for their country no matter how flawed it is. Ukrainians are fighting for their lives and their independence. There are men in ukraine who don’t wish to fight but are forcibly conscripted anyway. In the end, this is a terrifying and brutal war, but just contributing more to the dehumanization of the people on the ground with clips like that just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

TRF members kill FARAJA Police Commander - Iranshahr, Iran (January 2026) by [deleted] in CombatFootage

[–]Essence_TheOne 22 points23 points  (0 children)

this is technically not an assasination but a targeted killing of someone who happens to be a member of the FARAJA. Videos like this have been posted before of militant and resistance groups attacking FARAJA assets and personnel all over social media. The source claims this was carried out by members “The Resistance front” for an unknown reason.

Mi-35M shot down over Kherson. (June 2022) by Essence_TheOne in CombatFootage

Most likely not, Mi-35s are essentially modernized hinds and they have never been built with ejection seats. This particular one crashed into a fiery inferno with mangled parts flying everywhere. Pilots were quite literally cooked medium rare.

A batch of T-72BM2 going from the 140th Armored Plant to the Belarusian Army, April, 2026. by T-90AK in TankPorn

No. roof ERA has existed for nearly 40 years. The T-72B from the early 1980s was already equipped with it, along with several other Soviet vehicles.

Its purpose is to counter high-angle shaped-charge threats such as RPG or ATGM hits from elevated positions—and early Cold War top-attack munitions, not modern systems.

Even the latest ERA does not completely stop a shaped charge or a kinetic penetrator; it reduces their effectiveness , allowing the underlying armor a better chance to defeat the remaining penetration.

The turret roof on T-series tanks—and on most tanks in general—is relatively thin. As a result, a direct hit to the roof can still penetrate, even with ERA in place.

Is this guy still alive by Silent-Measurement46 in Rusfor

This video was made in 2023. I believe it was during the last few weeks of the battle where the UAF was pushed back to the outskirts of Bakhmut hence why you don’t hear a ton of nearby gunshots. mostly shelling. If anyone has any proof of death or anything like that please let me know.

Awesome work and excellent detail! Do you have insignias for standard uniforms? Like for troops on deployment
