I’m curious how this compares to other wars, in regards to video documentation. I know there are tons of Afghanistan videos out there, but that had a 20 years run. This seems saturated with videos.

I qualified on a tank once...that's about the extent of my time on tanks. But holy fuck he shoots and just sits. Like, maybe a simple fucking berm drill, yeah?
There was definitely the opportunity to release a lot more footage especially from UAVs and whatnot of people getting done but that would have just been propaganda fodder for the Taliban/AQ/ISIS and been an own goal. Which is pretty much why IMO Ukraine is releasing all this footage- it's good for the war effort and the UAVs are mostly commercial off the shelf so no harm in releasing nearly raw footage so much quicker turnarounds.
On the ground I think cameras are much cheaper and storage cheap now too.
Are the Soviets falling back in good order or has it become more of a rout?

History nerd time: the most recent offensive is the 6th around Kharkiv in the last 103 years.
