(NSFW) Graphic Warning: Russian BMP-2 Shoots Civilian Vehicle, Kills Old Couple
Published 2 years ago
Footage recorded on Feb. 28, 2022 reportedly shows a Russian BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle lighting up a Ukrainian civilian car and killing its occupants, identified in aftermath footage as an elderly couple.
This is what war is, folks, and this is why war is awful. This post isn't meant to demonize or exonerate what took place here, but this is the brutal reality of it and why it should be avoided. Most Russian troops thought they were on a training mission up until they crossed the border into Ukraine, and it is highly unlikely they were given any kind of definitive rules of engagement or escalation of force measures once the operation commenced.
On a personal level, I would be an absolute hypocrite if I didn't acknowledge that this was something that took place regularly on my deployments at the height of GWOT, and this video brought me back to some very dark past experiences. Again, this is war, this is why it is bad, and this is why the invasion of Ukraine needs to end now.
A note from Funker Actual: Posting videos like this to to Funker530 is never an easy decision for our team, and if we didn't feel that it was critical information, we wouldn't. We all have families, kids, grandparents, and we grieve with and pray for the people of Ukraine, and the Russian families who had their boys shipped off to a war they do not support. Our mission here is to ensure that the world has a clear unfiltered view of what the people of Ukraine are going through on a daily basis, and to reduce the amount of spin any government organization or mainstream media outlet can apply to the situation. As emotions run high, please remain kind and respectful to others in the community who are struggling to grasp the gravity of these events, just as you are.
