Operation Entebbe (1976)
On July 4, 1976, an elite Israeli commando unit, Sayeret Matkal, undertook a daring mission, flying over 4,000 kilometers to Uganda's Entebbe Airport to rescue 102 hostages aboard an Air France flight hijacked by terrorists. The entire operation was executed under the cover of darkness and concluded in a swift 90 minutes.

An intense combat scene unfolds during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s. An Italian-manufactured T-72 tank charges forward, skimming alongside a parapet lined with Italian soldiers. Suddenly, one of the troops fires what appears to be an RPG-7, directly striking the massive vehicle. The crew, in a desperate bid for survival, evacuates the tank under heavy fire.
Yet, almost miraculously, the tank remains largely unharmed amidst the relentless barrage, as if shielded by divine will.
Footage captured during Monday night’s massive Russian drone and missile assault on Ukraine—which claimed the lives of at least 23 civilians and left over a hundred injured—reveals multiple 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles hitting the heart of Kyiv.

Footage has surfaced depicting a failed attempt by the GUR International Legion to carry out a cross-border operation targeting an FSB position in Bryansk.
On October 27, 2024, members of the Rogue and Omega teams from the GUR International Legion were deployed with the mission to track and eliminate Russian FSB and SSO reconnaissance groups (DRGs). These groups had been responsible for cross-border ambushes in Ukraine’s Chernihiv and Sumy Oblasts, retreating into Russian territory after their operations. During their mission, the teams located and launched an assault on an FSB position in Bryansk. However, they were met with a counter-ambush by FSB Border Guards. The clash resulted in the loss of four operatives from Rogue Team.

At the beginning of the Great War, scouts were the “eyes and ears” of the army. Now this role is largely performed by aerial reconnaissance. Infantry reconnaissance has taken on more difficult and dangerous tasks: clearing landings, abandoned buildings and areas near the contact line, where Russian occupiers can hide for months.
A Ukrainian soldier encountered a Russian FPV drone mid-flight. Despite opening fire, the attempts to neutralize the drone proved futile as it remained airborne. Fortunately, the soldier managed to retreat just in time, evading harm before the drone detonated.
Ukrainian forces successfully neutralized a Russian soldier during an engagement captured on video in Krasnohorivka, Donetsk Oblast, on May 25, 2024.
Footage from the helmet camera of a soldier with the callsign "Lis" shows members of the 117th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade valiantly fending off a mechanized Russian assault. The attacking forces employed two tanks and four BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, but the Ukrainian defenders managed to halt their advance, eliminating at least one enemy combatant in the process.
