Actual compelling combat footage released by Russian sources shows the GoPro perspective of a Russian Soldier during a raid against Ukrainian positions. Towards the end of the video, it becomes clear that the Russian expended so much ammunition in such a short period of time that their rifle barrels appear to be melting.

It's unclear when and where this footage was recorded, but it's one of the rare instances of the Russians showing a combat operation from the real perspective of one of their Soldiers on the ground.
