Intense Urban Combat in Vuhledar
Published 2 weeks ago
More than three minutes of footage of Ukrainian troops conducting a stubborn urban defense in Vuhledar. This is archival footage, though the exact time is unknown. This video also contains a clip from footage I posted previously of a Ukrainian defending a building but provides more context to that footage. The video begins with the camera operator firing an RPG from inside a building and then picking up a PKM, which then experiences a stoppage. We see the camera move to another part of the building, where a soldier fires an NLAW light anti-armor weapon. We then see another RPG shot, and it is worth noting the effect that the backblast generated by the weapon. The scene cuts to the clip published previously, is which our camera operator/rifleman engages Russian attackers from a window. We are treated to a defender’s view from the window, and the condition of the buildings provides some inkling of the intensity of the fighting.
