Badaboom

During a storming mission, a commander has to make quick, unconventional and very risky decisions.

One of these decisions has been captured by military documentarians during the counteroffensive in the Zaporizhia Region. A brief consultation at the control and observation point with the commander of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, Hero of Ukraine Viktor Sikoza, quick planning with deminers and a “big badaboom” which paralyzed several enemy positions.

Apache Tribe

Deployments for combat missions for Apache, a tank commander, is a daily routine task. But this time he needs to do a mission with a gunner who is deploying to the confrontation line for the first time.

A simple story about the complex work of the tank operators of the 36th Rear Admiral Mykhailo Bilynskyi Separate Marine Brigade — about equipping the tank, preparing the crew, and about the baptism by fire for a gunner who was a civilian just recently.

If you want to fly, dig

We see impressive videos of the work of drone operators in the media every day. The painstaking work that is done to prepare for it is usually left behind the scenes. And we are talking not just about organising the flight, but also such trivial things as, for instance, proper arrangement of positions. A well-dug shelter saves lives — this rule is the same both for infantry and for drone pilots.


One day in the life of the strike drone unit of the 47th Magura Separate Mechanised Brigade involves digging trenches, joking, combat missions, eating sandwiches under shelling, and digging trenches again. Because the better a fighted digs, the longer he lives.
