Harrowing footage published by Ukraine's special operations forces this week shows their troops storming a Russian trench and engaging in deadly close-quarters fighting with Moscow's soldiers.
The assault appears to have caught the Russians by surprise and left several dead as the Ukrainians cleared their way through the dirt maze. In stark contrast to the reactions by the Russian soldiers, Kyiv's forces appear to have executed the mission flawlessly, doing "everything right," a former US Army infantry soldier said.
"What the Ukrainians did is very unique in their level of proficiency," John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at West Point's Modern War Institute, told Insider after watching the video. "They do everything right, which doesn't always happen in war — even if you're really trained."
Ukraine's special operations forces shared the graphic video to several social media channels on Monday. The military said its forces approached the enemy positions from the rear and killed 10 Russian troops.
The following video is a graphic depiction of front-line trench warfare in Ukraine.
Sharing the video on Twitter, Spencer wrote: "I know a lot of people have already commented on this video of Ukrainian Special Forces conducting close quarters battle in a Russian trench. I can tell they are highly trained, good weapons handling, use of grenades. Intense. High adrenaline but not chaotic. Bravo Zulu."

Excellent catch. There are about 3-4 such IDs that robopost repetitive propaganda like this one does. I’m guessing it’s a paying gig because if they were sincere and committed, they’d do a better job.
One more time for those in the back row. Tell your Putin to say goodbye to his land bridge.
And why is Tucker Carlson’s male producer married to another man? Isn’t that globohomo or does Tucker get a pass?
Do you honestly believe the offensive is going well for them?
Geez, someone has watched “Barbarians at the Gate” one too many times.
Ukraine welcomes prisoners and that is not what is happening in the video, they are shooting and moving feet away from pop-out targets.
Tell your Biden to say goodbye....
Biden gave Putin the green light to invade Ukraine in a minor incursion. If Trump was in office, Putin would have been too chicken to invade.
Should be in Moscow soon.
While that may possibly be correct, your behavior as an interlocutor in threads sullies your opinion. Utterly repetitive copy-paste is just not "in."
Your hall monitor act is funny. Do you have a badge?
I am glad your are amused. As to badges, I had one but it wasn't in high school. You're responses are as limp as can be.
How’s that Ukrainian counteroffensive going, Marcus?
How many of these special forces had tattoos of Hitler, Bandera or a swastika?
With Biden being the organ grinder himself.
I see what you did there.
Run, Ashley, run!!
I've been here over two decades opposing the neocons. Who the hell are you, besides ignorant?
