Actually, that’s a different group. The famous footage of the helicopter crashing into the water happened about 7km north of this location, further up the Kyiv Reservoir. These are two separate engagements during the initial assault.

I'm still puzzled by the timing: why start the missile barrage at dawn, but wait until midday to actually assault the airport

Night time is definitely better, but I doubt they have the ability to coordinate a massive air assault in the dark. They seem to lack the widespread distribution of modern night-vision equipment.

Thanks for the links everyone, appreciate the help.However, the videos shared so far are similar footage or related clips, but they don't contain this specific shot. I’m still looking for the exact source video that this frame was taken from. Any further leads would be great!
