Ukrainian "Signum" Recon Unit Clears Russian Positions Near Bodahnivka
Published 8 months ago
This footage, provided by Signum's parent 93rd Mechanized Brigade, shows the work of two Signum soldiers as they clear Russian positions in the vicinity of Bakhmut. It is a compilation of helmet/bodycam with spotter drone footage added for context.
The two soldiers are assaulting Russian dugouts and holes in what appears to have once been a treeline, now reduced to kindling. At 0:13, one of the soldiers prepares to enter a dugout with his rifle. While we see many videos of such holes being cleared with grenades or fired into with rifles, video of Ukrainian troops actually entering is comparatively rare.
At 0:30, a drone provides overwatch of the pair as they work the Russian position. The location and effect of their thrown grenades is recorded by the drone. The short video takes a slightly poetic turn as it juxtaposes the carnage with an admittedly beautiful sunset.
