Ukrainian Special Forces Use American Gunboats With Miniguns for Riverine Raids

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces are mastering American riverine gunboats—veterans of a bygone era—for modern warfare. The SOC-R (Special Operations Craft – Riverine), armed with five machine guns and two grenade launchers, is now a vital tool for short-range assault force insertions.

Operators from the 144th Special Operations Centre, together with Air Assault Forces cadets, are pushing the craft to its limits. The UNITED24 Media team was on-site during this intense training exercise to see how Ukraine's elite troops are adapting legacy U.S. equipment for high-stakes missions along the frontline rivers.

IED Destroyers: How the Third Assault Brigade Finds and Neutralizes Unexploded IEDs

Video of the work of the sapper fighters of the Engineering Reconnaissance Platoon of the Engineering Support Group of the Third Assault Division on neutralizing enemy IEDs. The sky is teeming with enemy “birds”, and the field is plowed over with explosions. The sapper team sets off in search of unexploded IEDs.

The group skillfully calculates the place where the IED fell from the scattered details: the fragments from the wing, like a signpost, indicate the correct direction for the search.

When the object is finally found, the team gets to work. The fighter attaches a charge of 1.2 kg of TNT. After attaching the explosives, there are exactly 5 minutes + 20-30 seconds to move to a safe distance.

The fighters dive into the landing, immediately after which a powerful explosion is heard. Next is the fixation of the explosion site and immediately after that the team sets off in search of the next IED.

This is the daily work of the sapper soldiers of the Engineering Reconnaissance Platoon of the Engineering Support Group. Another reminder of the effort and risk involved in clearing every meter of liberated land and clearing the area of dangers. See more details in the new video.

RUSSIAN ATTACK: Azov Repels a Motorized Assault in the Toretsk Sector

Russian Motorized Championship: Enemy Assault Repelled Near Toretsk

The unfortunate bikers led the attack, followed by troops riding Chinese buggies. However, toward the end of the assault, the Russians managed to scrape together a couple of APCs.

The video showcases yet another failed Russian attempt to break through the defenses of the 12th Azov Brigade in the Toretsk sector. Enemy assault groups were eliminated through the joint efforts of Azov's infantry, strike drones, and tanks, which finished off both enemy personnel and vehicles.

The defenders' key objective is to prevent the occupiers from securing buildings in settlements. This is why all enemy targets are eliminated before they can even reach their positions.

Remembering Chris "Swampy" Garrett: The EOD Legend Who Gave Everything for Ukraine

Chris “Swampy” Garrett was more than just a foreign volunteer in Ukraine—he was a legend. In this emotional tribute, Chris's friends and colleagues share stories, offering an intimate look at the man and legend who supported Ukraine.

Swampy arrived in Ukraine in 2014 and quickly became known as one of the most trusted and skilled bomb techs on the front lines. From training new recruits to clearing dangerous trenches under fire, his impact was felt across the entire international legion and beyond.

This interview explores who Swampy really was — his dry humor, his discipline, and his absolute commitment to the mission. George reflects on the work they did together, the lessons Swampy passed on, and the heartbreaking moment he learned his friend was gone.

This video is dedicated to the memory of Chris “Swampy” Garrett — a warrior, mentor, and true brother-in-arms.

Azov’s Foreign Recruits Overview Their Weapons Before an Assault

Take a look at the weapons operated by three fighters from the International Battalion as they provide a detailed overview of a machine gun, an assault rifle, and a shotgun. Watch as they share insights and comment on each other’s firearm choices — all in preparation for their first combat missions, where firepower and reliability are everything.

How To Protect Yourself From Enemy/Russian FPVs? New Ukrainian Anti-Drone Weapons

Russians use FPV Drones against journalists, against volunteers, against bus drivers, and against civilians. And of course, mainly against soldiers. So, what can you do to protect yourself against an FPV Drone? When these drones were first introduced, people started developing electronic warfare systems and other countermeasures. Russians introduced flying these drones on fiber optic cables, which is something we also do now. It became a really difficult task.

Today, we film with a Ukrainian company called Ptashka Systems, which has developed different ways to counter FPV Drones. One is a handheld web gun that works like a normal pistol. We’re going to test it live in action, and we’re going to show you how to shoot down an FPV Drone.

Major (retired) Dave Smith - Ukraine war Kit list

After 18 months fighting in Ukraine, retired Canadian Forces Major Dave Smith shares the gear he relied on most.

What gear held up

Whether you're military, ex-military, prepping, or just curious — this rare insight into real warfighting kit is raw and straight from the front.

International Recruits VS Ukrainian Reconnaissance Forces

We follow a team of international recruits through their final days of bootcamp in Ukraine. If they pass, they’ll earn their place in the 25th Airborne Brigade — and be honored in a military medal ceremony. But first, they face one last test: a live-fire trench warfare simulation against the brigade’s elite reconnaissance unit. The question is — will they all make it?

"Tämä on tarina venäläisistä sotilaista, jotka päättivät taistella Putinin armeijaa vastaan – vaarantaen kaiken, henkensä mukaan lukien, seisoakseen Ukrainan rinnalla.
He ovat nähneet kauhuja, joita harvat voivat kuvitella: parhaiden ystävien menettämisen raaoissa hyökkäyksissä, jatkuvan vaaran kohtaamista ja venäläisten sotilaallisen kurinalaisuuden tappavan otteen pakenemisen, jossa karkottaminen tarkoittaa teloitusta.

Nämä eivät ole vain tarinoita sotilaista – ne ovat tarinoita vakaumuksesta ja uhrauksista. Entiset Wagner-palkkasoturit, Storm Z -taistelijat ja tavalliset siviilit ovat kokoontuneet muodostamaan Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC)."

With Ukraine’s Peaky Blinders chasing Russian soldiers near Pokrovsk

The Kyiv Independent's Francis Farrell and Olena Zashko spent a day with one of Ukraine's most effective drone units, "Peaky Blinders," named after the British gang portrayed in a popular British TV show. Although they also employ FPV (first-person view) drones, the unit specializes in drone-dropped bombs and are consistently deployed to the hottest areas of the battlefield. As Russian forces continue to push across the front line, Peaky Blinders are tasked with stopping Russian assaults near the embattled city of Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast.

The drone "Fever" strikes deep into Russia: the war is already theirs / hromadske

Together with the crew of the GUR, which operates long-range drones "Feb", we are going on a special mission. Today, the GUR will work on strategic objects located on the territory of Russia. On site, we are immediately instructed on safety issues: as soon as an air raid warning signal sounds, we immediately stop work. We have less than a minute to hide in a shelter. We are shown several shelters, introduced to a combat medic who will provide first aid, and informed that if necessary, we will be taken to the hospital. We have never been given such clear instructions in all our time at the front. A wave of anxiety immediately overtakes me.

Long-range drones are a desirable target for the Russians, so the GUR always works quickly: they launch the drones and immediately leave their positions. Each such operation involves weeks of careful preparation, so military personnel with many years of service experience work on the tasks.

"Fever" was developed in October 2022. It was first launched on the territory of Russia in May 2023. Then it hit an oil depot in the village of Volga on the Taman Peninsula. This oil depot is located on the Black Sea coast. At that time, it was the only ready-made copy of "Fever" in the Defense Forces. Its use on an important facility on the territory of an aggressor country was an experiment to find out whether the drone could fulfill the task of hitting targets deep behind enemy lines. In the late summer of 2023, "Fever" flights became regular.

Details of its production, design and combat use still remain a secret and are not disclosed for security reasons.

How the "Fever" drone works - watch the hromadske video.

The price we pay every day | Special operation of the Lut brigade fighters near Toretsk

The price we pay every day: special operation "Rage" near Toretsk

The joint assault brigade of the National Police of Ukraine "Rage" has been holding the defense for almost a year on one of the most difficult areas of the front - near Toretsk in the Donetsk region. Russian troops are throwing their most combat-ready forces here. Here, every day is like a separate fight for life.

In the video - a special operation to destroy the enemy's position, entrenched in the basements of destroyed buildings.

The soldiers of the brigade, together with adjacent police units, landed near the contact line. Under constant fire control, they quickly planted explosives and returned to the armored vehicles.

Second by second, everything went clearly and harmoniously, but war is always a risk.
Just at the moment when it seemed that the task was completed and the guys were already on their way back - the enemy launches a kamikaze drone. A hit on one of the armored vehicles, then on another. There are wounded. And there are losses...

This is the truth of war, where the police are fighting, where we lose our brothers.
Despite everything, “Lyut” together with other police units continues to move forward. We are the ones who choose not to wait for the enemy to come to our home, but to meet the enemy on the front line.

Freedom is not a gift. It is won with blood. We have no right to forget this.

Police officers of the consolidated rifle units (page mark) Stethem and Zaliznyy – forever in service!

Ukraine’s New AI-controlled Turret Is Taking Down Russian Drones | Sky Sentinel in Action

THE AFRICAN WHO SIGNED A "CONTRACT" WITH THE OCCUPIERS. The full story of a Senegalese cook in the Russian Armed Forces

Fighters of the 49th OShB "Karpatskaya Sich" adjacent to the 12th Brigade "Azov" captured an unusual soldier of the Russian Armed Forces. This "tourist" was a student who studied in Novorossiysk, but decided to take a different path.

Malik Diop is a citizen of the African country of Senegal. To earn more money, he signed a contract with the Russian Armed Forces. He was promised a position as a cook, but his last stop was injury and captivity on the outskirts of Toretsk.

Watch the full story of the Senegalese about his service in the occupation forces, the attitude of the Russians towards the Africans and the story of being captured by the defenders.

00:00-01:00 Intro
01:01-02:52 How did he end up in the Russian Army?

60 kilograms of everything you need: the equipment of an experienced paratrooper-assaulter

"When you've been in this business for a long time, you already understand what's better and what's worth paying attention to. My equipment isn't super expensive, there are much more expensive things. But it's reliable."

"Van Gogh" is the head of the combat training department of one of the battalions of the 80th Galician Brigade. Since 2022, the paratrooper has been fighting the enemy in the south of the country in the ranks of the unit, working in the Donbas and Kursk regions. Participation in battles in these areas has converted into a huge experience, not only in conducting combat operations, but also in choosing equipment to perform tasks.

In this video, "Van Gogh" talks about the equipment that is needed exclusively for an assault. The list of things is considerable: from personal protection, first-aid kits and weapons to multi-tools, batteries and compression socks.

The weight of all this equipment is about 60 kilograms. But there is nothing superfluous here, only what helps to more effectively destroy the enemy and protect your own life.

CAMERA AND RIFLE. How to film a war chronicle and maintain defense with the Azov infantry on the front line?

On the occasion of Journalist's Day, we are publishing unique footage taken by a war correspondent, a soldier of the 12th Azov Brigade.

He was supposed to record the war. But the war did not allow him to be an ordinary witness.

On the other side of the lens is a correspondent of the information service of the 12th Azov Brigade. In the past, he was an infantryman and a scout, he knows how to hold a camera and how to defend.

The soldier was filming at the positions of one of the battalions. When the battle began, he became a rifleman without hesitation. Together with his comrades, the correspondent eliminated several occupiers, provided assistance to the wounded, and himself received several shrapnel wounds.

In an army that is fighting, everyone must be able to hold a weapon in their hands. An Azov correspondent is not just an eyewitness, but a soldier and a comrade.

In Azov, everyone is ready for battle.

Congratulations to all those who, risking their own lives, record important events, tell the truth and leave their mark on history - Happy Journalist's Day!
