No clearness about Dates yet, but this Shyrokyne* region has seen heavy fighting in in 2015. Although the photo's just surfaced earlier today, and there are multiple reports of renewn hostility's as of this morning.

Some History about the region

*Wiki: The Shyrokyne standoff (February–July 2015) was a battle for the control of the strategic village of Shyrokyne, located approximately 11 km (6.8 mi) east of Mariupol city limits, between Ukrainian forces, led by the Azov Battalion, and Russian backed separatists. It is part of the larger War in Donbass. On 10 February 2015, the Azov battalion launched a surprise offensive against pro-Russian separatists associated with the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) with the aim of pushing the separatist forces away from Mariupol city limits. The village is located just 10 km (6.2 mi) from the Ukrainian-controlled city of Mariupol, and was used as a launching point for separatist attacks on the city, which served as the administrative centre of Donetsk Oblast whilst DPR forces control Donetsk city. Fighting continued until 3 July 2015, when DPR forces unilaterally withdrew from Shyrokyne. Subsequently a cease-fire was declared in the area.

All footage comes from Closed Native Russian mercenary forums and I have to manually translate everything to understand where it goes about and rip the pictures one by one trough the SourceCode of the website since they are copy protected. Some of the Exif-data and Codes lead back to Private FB pages i can't acces directly

Labor intensive job

There are some twisted discussions along those pictures, about how the people from this pictured unit supposedly behaved. But well worth mentioning since it gives a Creepy insight of the Ukrainian battlefield, and the darkness from Russian mercenary Fora.

All translated to English but i leave some of the original Russian quotes for context.

Someone said: Are you talking about alcohol again? And again your intellect is all about alcohol? The video is about armoured vehicles being hit. By the way, can I get a link to the drunken insurrectionists?

Под Днепром военнослужащий 25-й ОПДБр задушил коллегу, который убил женщину. Известно, что вечером 10 февраля военнослужащие К. и С. в Днепре наведались в гости к 53-летней женщине. Во время ссоры после общего употребления спиртных напитков К. задушил потерпевшую. "Он ее затащил в ванную, где с помощью воды и полотенца придушил. Потом мы пошли из квартиры", – рассказал солдат С. На следующий день из-за совершенное между парнями возник конфликт, в результате которого С. убил К. "Я был на эмоциях, набросился на него и придушил", – признался задержанный. Убийство произошло в квартире командира 3-й роты 3-го батальона старшего лейтенанта П. Тело товарища солдат спрятал в спальный мешок на балконе.
Что это плять было вообще??? Солдаты бухают со старой бабой, мочат ее, потом каким-то раком продолжают бухать на хате у своего командира, где один мочит другого. Кадровики, еб вашу мать!!! Вы плять кого вообще набираете?!! Черговий ООС пишет. А так да, в ВСУ не бухают

Translation:
A soldier of the 25th OPDBr strangled a colleague who killed a woman near Dnipropetrovsk. It is known that on the evening of February 10, soldiers K. and S. visited a 53-year-old woman in Dnipro. During the quarrel after the general drinking of alcohol, K. strangled the victim. "He dragged her into the bathroom, where he used water and a towel to strangle her. Then we left the flat," said soldier S. The next day a conflict arose between the guys over what he did, as a result of which S. killed K. "I was emotional, I jumped on him and strangled him," the detainee confessed. The murder took place in the flat of the commander of the 3rd company of the 3rd battalion, Senior Lieutenant P. The soldier hid the body of his comrade in a sleeping bag on the balcony.
What the fuck was that all about? Soldiers boozing with an old woman, pissing her off, then going on boozing at their commander's hut, where one pisses off the other. Human resources, for fuck's sake!!! Who the fuck do you think you're hiring?!! Chergoviy OOS writes. But yes, there's no drinking in the AFU

But.. Wow... Such a Goldmine for D.R.

I try to make some time to grab some more footage from this Fora for as long i have acces

You know the tank has been blown up REAL GOOD, when you see the turret laying somewhere else.

That is what's left of a T-64. This one did not have the Bulat armor upgrade. Whatever hit it set off all the onboard ammo. The BMP-2 is an interesting vehicle. I got to see a BMP-1 and 2 inside and out years ago. Except for not having much armor, esp compared to a Bradley, it's not a bad IFV. Powerful gun system, good seating, firing ports that can actually be used. BUT...see those bulges on the back doors? That isn't armor. Those are fucking FUEL CELLS. Yeah, the Russians put the gas tanks in the back doors, meaning if they get hit and explode, everyone inside gets cooked.
