Surrounded by Russians with a Ukrainian Drone Unit

I went to the frontlines of Donetsk Ukraine to learn from a Ukrainian heavy bomber vampire drone team. This is nicknamed Baba Yaga by the Russian forces. This part of the front is difficult. Ukrainian troops are holding the assaults back using this new weapon system. We were hit with glidebombs , artillery, rockets and mortars all night.

Task & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel. We want to foster discussion about the defense industry.

I'm so glad to see a journalist actually out in the field doing real research on the war instead of making stuff up. This is what journalism really is.

Dude, you seemed scared AF. Not throwing shade. Thank you for being brave and showing what to really like there. It highlights how brave the Ukraine’s are. Nice work.

Thank you for going out of your way to gather firsthand information on this conflict. It takes courage and is truly invaluable.

Nice cappy, i recognize that smile you have. Thats the "I dont know why im doing this but im glad im here" smile.

[cphrpunk]

Loses a hand and an eye and still goes. Damn.

[jprehberger]

Excellent work! You are smarter than when you were younger and thus it takes even more courage to do this now.

Cappy Big Balls. Respect from NZ man. I really hope Ukraine isn't abandoned or forced into some shit deal, they deserve freedom, democracy, prosperity and peace.

" 5 stars please." That made me laugh.

Chris is putting his life on the line here, make no mistake. This is real journalism.

It's rare seeing a reporter with this much personal courage. We all know Chris is a vet but the fact that he doesn't have to do any of this says even more..

[JamesBondDZeroMi]

As a US veteran, I have great respect for the Ukrainian soldiers and all who fight for their right to freedom. It's our brothers & sisters fighting & dying over there and I wish we could do more for them. Thank you for your visit Cappy! I'm glad you made it back safely.

"If it doesn't F us up its ours" lol that is crazy to hear out loud.

[jamesleadley]

Damn! When Cappy said "I go frontline" someone in the Ukrainian military wanted him to feel the artillery landing around him!!! He's ex-military, he can handle a few bombs. Your position is now overrun I heard as well so everybody left that fine basement not too much after you did. Really appreciate you letting a lot of the Ukrainian guys talk. Hits different.

"No, that's Carl."

We've all known a Carl.

Great reporting, thanks so much!

Seeing Azov Gandalf, imagining what this man went through, endured, archieved and who still keeps going... I have tears in my eyes.

[condotiere]

'those drones ours?'
'if they dont shoot at us, they are ours' has to be the hardest baddest line ever uttered.

[That_one_Greek_guy]

Hey Cappy, Im writing this before all the kremlin-bots arrive to litter the comment section to tell you that you are doing a great job and your bravery and dedication to uncovering the truth is truly admirable, stay safe out there and keep doing the work that those armchair sellouts refuse to do.

The Ukrainian solider said it best

“Never underestimate your opponent”

It’s funny seeing all the western YouTube channels clowning Russia yet have zero idea. Thank you Cappy for doing what no one dares to do.

[Brotherdweeb]

This should win a Pulitzer prize Cappy.

Nobody does it like you. Your content is not just content it is journalism that is making a difference. Love ya Chris. Glad your home safe.
