Equally a notable lack of recent videos of anti-personnel grenade-drops. There used to be lots of them. Where have they gone? What's changed? Tactics or video-feeds? It must be one or the other.
Is all this because there really is a lack of genuine and recent videos - in which case why - or is there some other reason? I fear it is all too easy in this video-controlled age to create a misleading and unrealistic narrative via e-media, and I sense that Ukraine is not doing nearly as well well as we'd all like it to and that we're being fed a considerably modified version of the reality.
Further, the absolutely infuriating habit of Youtube in particular to obliterate the last 25% of a video with leaders for further vids, making the current one unwatchable often at the most important time. Who does this, and ffs why?
I could post tons of video links of Russians getting blown to bits from air dropped or suicide drones, but I tended to stop because, one, you tend to get desensitised to the fact you are watching people die, no matter who’s side they are on. And , two, does it really show what is happening in the wider picture of things. I will post a couple of late for you.
