A war documentary/after-action review about the combat operations the 2nd Infantry Assault Battalion, 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, near Bakhmut in winter-spring of 2023.

Note: You may have already seen this documentary when it first came out in March 2023, but you would have had to suffer through the machine-generated ‘wall-to-wall’ subtitles. This is a new, more concise translation, with human-friendly subtitles.
