Armed conflicts: Photos, videos, articles

No political discussions here, please. We have specialized  threads for that.

I want that thread to be used for sharing various info from armed conflict of the world. Photos, Videos, Articles.  I repeat: Restrain yourself from discussing political side of wars, please.

Also, try to not discuss "strategy" here. We have Armchair General thread for that.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you

Man, look at those armored vehicles.

They should've had better crews.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

War in Transnistria (01.03.1992-21.07.1992)

The newly elected nationalist government of Moldavian SSR planned to reunify Moldova with Romania. Concerns over the potential loss of political rights spurned secessionist sentiments in the dominantly Russian-speaking region of Transnistria. It declared independence from Moldova on the 2nd of September 1990. Several clashes between Moldavian police and Transnistrian militias occurred in late 1990 and throughout 1991. In early March of 1992, Moldavian forces, assisted by Romanian military advisors and volunteers, attempted to retake Transnistria by force.

Frontline video from Ukrainian side. 19 October 2014. 
What are they doing? It looks like they're retreating, but I can't really tell without being able to read the notes.

Anyway, more video from the frontlines. Ukrainian mechanized infantry attack and destroy... something. Only slightly better than potato quality, I think the guy is using a handheld camera.
