Up Close in the Russian/Ukranian Conflict
Things have been various levels of blistering between the Ukraine and Russia over the Crimean Peninsula for a long time now. Recently we came across a compilation of front-line footage that was released late last year. Body cameras aren’t just popular for surfing and skydiving anymore.
From the video description as posted by War Clashes:
There is the big collection of battles at the East Ukraine 2015. The War in Donbass also called the War in Ukraine, War in Eastern Ukraine is an armed conflict in the Donbass region of Ukraine. From the beginning of March 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups took place in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, together commonly called the “Donbass”, in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and the Euromaidan movement. These demonstrations, which followed the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and which were part of a wider group of concurrent pro-Russian protests across southern and eastern Ukraine, escalated into an armed conflict.
Inside you’ll gain some insights on some of the heavier weapons the Russians use, see a hodgepodge of camouflage that would make an American militia member proud, view the Soviet version of a TYR Tactical Mico, observe some questionable tactics and outright fuckups, and how apparently no nation is secure from the scourge that is tacticool. Be forewarned, it’s over an hour long.

Good video, wish there were at least a few translations. @ 11:05, what was that long 20/30mm looking weapon? It was being fired by one guy who gave a thumbs-up after he was done.
Looks like it might be a 14.5mm PTRD-41 from here
