The video was filmed on February 24th during clashes at the Antonovsky Bridge in the battle for Kherson.

Without context, the scenes show a section of Mechanized Armored Vehicles including 2 BRDM-2s and a number of about 12-16 mounted Infantry coming from the north to inspect the remains of a disabled artillery convoy in the south. What they do not know is that about 3 Squads of enemy Infantry so a total of 20-30+ soldiers is already waiting for the west of the road to initiate an ambush from close range.

Now some context to the footage.

This was recorded in Kherson on the 24th of February.

During that time Russian forces advanced from the south over the bridge while the Ukrainians defended the north.

The two BRDMs were in fact Ukrainian while the attackers on the berm were Russian soldiers.

After matching the area with real-time map images we were able to locate the exact location of this battle.

We also matched the military equipment seen in this video with "confirmed" losses on both sides during the war.
