POV footage of a Ukrainian patrol making and then breaking contact. Infantry move through a wooded area when the camera operator, who also appears to be the point man, identifies a threat. He engages and then the patrol begins to fall back to a rally point. They obviously were not LARPing and really ran into something, because the rising crescendo of small arms fire can be heard in the background. Drones are cool, but they can not see through trees, and so I suppose the traditional foot patrol is not yet obsolete.
