FPV footage of soldiers of Ukraine’s third assault brigade fighting a defensive fight in urban terrain. The exact location was not provided by the original source and can only be deduced. The building being defended is gutted and has been the scene of fighting for some while. Early in the video, a trio of soldiers engage unseen opponents out the open window and take return fire. Then the camera operator moves from room to room within the house. In urban combat, the terrain generally offers a substantial advantage to the defender, and though artillery and bombs can reduce a city to rubble, that rubble can sometimes be easier to defend than the buildings themselves.
