A video posted online this week shows a Russia n Ka-52 "Alligator" attack helicopter firing on a column of military vehicles near the Kursk border town of Sudzha. It was just one of the many"war porn" videos that regularly make the rounds on social media —but what was especially noteworthy about this clip is that it was only after several vehicles were destroyed that the Russia n pilots in the helicopter realized they'd fired on friendly troops.
The video hasn't been independently verified, and the Russian Ministry of Defense hasn't commented on the incident, but it wouldn't be the first instance of friendly fire committed in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, it serves to highlight how quickly news from the frontlines can be shared with the masses thanks to social networks.The Backlash Against Blake Lively, Explained
"Second, technology to capture information—especially in audio and video formats—has become cheap and ubiquitous. Phones have remarkably good cameras now, and are always connected to the network," added Lampe.Ukraine's offensive into Russia's Kursk Oblast has already been seen as a propaganda coup, but the fact that the Russian forces are aiming at their troops could be another much-needed"win" for Kyiv.
"The Battle of Kursk marked a decisive turning point in the Soviet campaign to drive Hitler's Wehrmacht from the USSR. However, today, Putin is more like Hitler, which is why I don't see any similarities. I wouldn't want to play into Russian propaganda, as it's clear that 'de-nazifying' Ukraine is just a Russian myth and propaganda," said Elina Beketova, democracy fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis .
