Come on! We are leaving!
A frag sticking
A grenade exploded close to him
As I remember 2 people of 131-st Brigade
were killed and 11 wounded
Combatants lost 3 or 4
Oh, morphine!
Here is the combatants camp
They are searching for food and stuff
Judging to the supplies we have found there
their lives were not bad
One more paradoxical moment
We didn't stop firing from 6 to 9 am
First aviation, next artillery, then tanks
and finally "GRAD"s
All village is totally ruined
there is no a single whole building
but the tranches remaind like brand new
washing vessel didn't even fall down
Give'em a tank. Good
If he sees any movement tell him to shoot
I've seen general Shamanov
He is a battle general
He is suppossed to be like this
When he is ordered to attack he attackes
When he is ordered to withdraw he withdraws
April 4. Assault on Belgatoy, Vedeno region
Killed tank crew
They were approaching Belgatoy
Chechens hit 3 tanks on that road
This is one of the 3 crews
This guy is crew chief
Off course he is dead
The injuries were too heavy
I got your rifle!
I left my rifle in the tank
Don't worry, it's OK
Here you see 2 BMPs picking up casualties
but over there more people
are running to become casualty
I didn't notice them
- Did you speak to a Chechen? - Yes
- Did they inject pain relief? - Yes, one
The guy's hand broke off
Roman, a drafted guy
- Where is him from? - From Yaroslavl
The scout guy with scool bandage is wounded in his leg
Combatants wore such bandages
Probably he took it from a killed combatant
When I was shooting this scene
I thought:"Everyone pays attention to survived
and nobody's gonna care about that killed guy
except his mother."
His body and bunch of cartriges
- are all what have left
Medics can help with sewing, splinting
and other first aid
After first aid wounded are evacuated by helicopters
This war isn't worth lives of these guys
isn't worth a single hair
This is a common opinion
After a while when people get accustomed
they realise inanity of the war
Before arrival to Buysk
Prior to engagement
scouts escort the 8-th Company to the flank
They need to cover flanks to avoid
in case we approach too close to combatants
Everything is messed up there
Give me your hand
Scouts were taking numerous casualties
during that war
they were used not just to scout
but to assault as well
They always were at the forefront of attacks
This is why they were taking much more casualties
than other infantry unuts
Combatants ammunition
Bullit tips are cut off
It splits up hiting the target
A hand made expanding bullit
