*Notes:*
(1:01) “The most dangerous threat is the enemy tanks … the explosion comes before you hear the bastard firing at you.” — Tanks firing in direct mode engage from 2-3 km away. The initial velocity of the shell is higher than the speed of sound, so you get the explosion first, and only then you hear the tank fire. This is the exact opposite of normal artillery, where you first hear the outgoing boom, then the whistling of the incoming shell, and thus have time to react.
(1:26) *ATO* — Anti-Terrorist Operation in Ukraine, a.k.a. The War in Donbas (2014-2018). Between 2018 and 2022, it has been called Joint Forces Operation zone (JFO).
(1:30) Vuhledar — a city in the Donetsk Region, Southern Ukraine, a place of fierce battles.
