This is what real CQB looks like. People typically retreat as fast as possible after taking fire and fall over the others behind them, they don’t all push into the area the fire is coming from.

Two men fight to the death in Ukraine with guns, knives, improvised weapons
This is absolutely the most brutal – in the truest sense of the word – combat footage I have ever seen.
Watch this at your own discretion, and I recommend that you first read the short summary below to decide if you would still like to watch.
A second angle was also filmed by a drone:
A Ukranian solder, wearing a GoPro, approaches a structure and takes fire through a window. He was possibly hit, blood is visible.
He falls, returns fire, gets up and attempts to throw a grenade through the window.
The Russian soldier exits the building at the same time and approaches the corner where the Ukranian is standing. They both step around the corner and run into each other, clinch and fight over the Russian’s gun, before they end up on the ground.
They fight hand to hand with knives, teeth, and eye gouges. Both are drenched in blood.
The Ukranian is stuck on his back, while the Russian is able to cause more damage due to his dominant position on top of him.
Translation of the final moments below, from 6:40 in the video:
Ukrainian soldier: That’s it, mum, goodbye. Wait, let me die in peace. You’ve opened everything (meaning critical blood vessels) in me. Let me catch my breath. Very painful. *unclear*. Let me pass away in peace. Just don’t touch me. Let me die. Don’t touch me, let me die. Please go away. I want to pass away on my own. Thank you. You were the best fighter in the world. Goodbye. You were better.
Russian soldier: Goodbye, brother.
Ukrainian soldier: goodbye. Don’t do it.
Textbook ambush of armoured vehicle convoy – Ukraine War
A Leopard 2A4 tank performs a textbook ambush on a column of Russian armoured vehicles.
Typical ambush tactics for a convoy. You kill the last vehicle first, because no one else typically has eyes on it, so everyone will be confused for a few seconds. If you kill the first one first everyone knows what is going on instantly. Killing the rear vehicle is not always feasible, however.
Next you kill the first vehicle. You now have a dead vehicle at the rear, and a dead vehicle in the front, and if the road is narrow enough, you have created a kill zone. The convoy cant reverse without going off road, and it cant advance without going off road, either.
You call in artillery immediately on this kill zone. Or, if you’ve timed your ambush right, you put command detonated explosives on the road side and fuck everyone up as they try to get out of the kill zone.

Police shoot terrorist in Melbourne, Australia – two video angles
On 9 November 2018, one male attacker, Hassan Khalif Shire Ali, set his vehicle on fire and stabbed three people at Bourke Street in the Melbourne central business district, Australia, before being fatally shot by Victoria Police. Of the three victims stabbed by Ali, one of the stabbed victims died at the scene while the other two were treated by paramedics and taken to hospital.

One police officer attempts to disarm Ali with a baton, which is completely ineffective. His partner shoots Ali which stops the attack.
Russian soldier kills two Ukrainians in foxhole – graphic and saddening video
This video is a prime example of the senselessness, chaos, confusion and horror of war.
A Russian soldier approaches a foxhole with two pitiable Ukrainians cowering inside, sitting on top of a dead comrade. One is a young man, perhaps in his early twenties, the other is much older. They both appear confused, perhaps suffering concussion.
The Russian demands that they throw away their weapons and surrender.
The older Ukrainian is confused, and says words to the effect that they are on the same side.
The Russian tries to pull the gun away from the old man, but he resists.
When he sees what is happening, the younger man – who is bleeding from the head – puts up his hands and begins to plead for his life just a moment before the Russian kills them both in a spray of bullets.
