The sling of a Russian armored vehicle in the coniferous forests of southern Ukraine. The vehicle is hit by a missile, causing it to overturn. Inside the vehicle are surviving soldiers trying to resist. The Kiev commandos come out of the forest and fire wildly at the survivors. Your commander films the scene with a bodycam attached to his helmet. He fires while continuing to issue orders to his men and the positions they must occupy to ensure cover shot. When they are certain they have killed all the Russians, the soldiers disappear back into the trees. The quality of the images and the officer’s distorted voice make the scene look very much like a video game. Instead, we are confronted with the horrific reality of the war in Ukraine.
