Call sign Donbass 2

Chapter One

Advanced. echeloned trench-dugout defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with concrete floors in front of the settlement. Behind it stands a multi-storey building with an observation post for artillery and launching UAVs to correct artillery fire. Abrams and Leopard tanks are standing in semi-shelters in front of the trenches. Abrams' tank gunner Steve sees a turtle approaching their tank. He turns to the mechanic.

STEVE, John, do you see a turtle?

It's crawling towards us.

JOHN (ENG.)

I see the patron, probably our Donetsk zoo was hooked when peaceful orcs were being ironed. So the bastards spread out.

On the tablet screen, an operator with the call sign “Donbass” watches as an unmanned land mine in the form of a turtle crawls under the Abrams tank and explodes. The entire ammunition set detonates in the tank cabin, and the tank is torn apart. The same thing happens with other tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine standing in a row.

Donbass

A blunder. Oh. I love this business!

(on the radio)

Little Donbass.

MALOY (behind the scenes)

(on the walkie-talkie)

Maloy is in touch.

Donbass

Three Hundred And Thirty-Three.

Massive shelling begins from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation along the entire perimeter of the fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers with NATO mercenaries and Nazis are rushing through the trenches to the entrance to the concrete underground bomb shelters. They sit on benches around the table and prepare to drink tea made from narcotic herbs. Others eat pills. Others inject themselves with syringes and groan from the arrival of high.

A ROOKIE OF the Armed Forces OF Ukraine (IN UKRAINIAN)

Won't it get us here?

THE AZOVIAN (IN UKRAINIAN)

IS not a coward. There is a depth of 10 meters and a three-meter reinforced concrete ceiling above the head. Yes, Mr. Buba?

BUBA (IN UKRAINIAN)

Let the Muscovites spend their shells more. They're dumb. They think we're all being flattened, and we're a surprise to them. We'll suddenly rise from the ruins and play them a disco of bullets when they go to clean us up.

THE RECRUIT OF THE Armed FORCES OF Ukraine (IN UKRAINIAN)

IS cool.

Simultaneously with the shelling, Russian assault squads begin to rapidly encircle and surround the AFU positions from the flanks to the rear. Destroying small flanking "fox holes" along the way, in which soldiers with machine guns lie.

DESCRIPTION OF THE KAMIKAZE QUADCOPTER

THE BODY OF THE KAMIKAZE QUADCOPTER HAS AN UNDER-BARREL GRENADE LAUNCHER WITH A SINGLE CHARGE AND THE BODY ITSELF IS A BARRAGE OF AMMUNITION. OF COURSE, HE ALSO HAS AN INFRARED SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON BOARD. DONBASS DONBASS SITS IN THE COCKPIT OF AN ARMORED TRUCK AND CONTROLS THESE UNMANNED KAMIKAZES WITH A VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING FUNCTION FROM A TABLET. TAKEOFF AND LANDING ARE CARRIED OUT FROM THE BODY OF AN ARMORED TRUCK, AN ANALOG OF THE SOVIET BTR-152.

The hatch doors automatically open on the covered body of the BTR-152. Kamikaze quadrocopters fly up from the body of the truck in turn and quickly. A company flock of unmanned kamikaze quadrocopters with the functions of dropping grenades and self-detonation, in the amount of forty pieces, hangs in the sky at an unattainable height. And it duplicates the relief of the trench. Kamikaze quadrocopters hover in one place above the trenches at an altitude of 1,500 meters from the earth's surface. They are almost invisible to the naked eye from earth.

Donbass hears on the radio a combined arms report to the command on combat readiness.

REAR(behind the scenes)

The front Is In the Rear.

THE FRONT(behind the scenes)

The front is in touch.

REAR (behind the scenes)

The rear is in position.

RIGHT FLANK (behind the scenes)

The right flank is in position.

LEFT FLANK (behind the scenes)

The left flank is in position.

Donbass

A flock with humanitarian aid is in position, in full readiness.

THE FRONT (behind the scenes)

Everyone prepare for a round-robin assault. The signal for the start is the massive dumping of humanitarian aid into the trenches.

Chapter two

In the bomb shelter, the enemy hears the cessation of Russian shelling and the appearance of heavy machine-gun fire from the front of the Russian troops.

AZOVETS (IN UKRAINIAN)

Well, that's it. The panes. Everyone in position. Let's meet the orcs with pills from life.

BUBA (IN UKRAINIAN)

They probably think that many of our people have been mowed down. And we're all safe. The recruits and the defense team are the first.

THE UKRAINIAN Armed FORCES RECRUIT (IN UKRAINIAN)

Why?

AZOVETS (UKRAINIAN)

Baptism of fire.

Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers and the like are crawling out of the shelter. Donbass sees on his tablet with the help of a magnification camera how these Nazis are dispersed along the entire line of the trench defensive structure. He pushes the “1-Enter” button on the keyboard that appears and the lead quadcopter immediately detects all living moving objects along the entire specified perimeter. After that, it automatically distributes point coordinates to all guided quadrocopters. The signal is the flickering of an object.

The wingmen individually fix the moving target according to the received coordinates and hover over it. If she leaves a given point, then the kamikaze quadcopter is aiming at her. The master automatically receives positive responses from all his subordinates and informs the operator through the “Yes" context menu that appears on the screen./There is no” signal about the combat readiness of the company's unmanned flock. Donbass presses “Yes" and all the quadrocopters simultaneously, being unnoticed, drop one grenade from a high altitude. The enemy dies en masse without starting a resistance.

A circular assault sweep of the enemy fortified area by motorized rifle troops and armored vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces begins from all sides. After dropping all the ammunition, the quadrocopters return to the take-off site. In the front rear is an armored personnel carrier 152 with an open body top. The guided drones automatically take their seats there, except for the lead one, and immediately fold their rods with screws.

When the bottom of the body is filled with rolled-up drones, the remaining quadrocopters land on the second level and so on to the full top. After that, the body cover is automatically closed. Donbass jumps out of the cockpit and the BTR-152 goes to the base in unmanned mode to replenish the ammunition of the quadrocopters. The control of the car is also in the tablet of Donbass, who goes to the trench.

Donbass receives a message on a tablet from a leading quadcopter about losses on the part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. He turns on the headset, radio, and informs his commander.

Donbass

The kid of Donbass.

KID (behind the scenes)

Kid is in touch.

Donbass

The object has been cleared. From our side, five three hundredths and zero two hundredths. From the enemy's side, one hundred three hundredths and two thousand seven hundred and fifty-one two hundredths. We are starting to strengthen and prepare for shift shifts. How did you accept it? Reception?

KID (behind the scenes)

Has accepted. End of communication.

A column of armored vehicles with the Russian flag flying and the Latin letter “Z” on the hulls appears from the liberated territories. The column follows the main division of the Russian Armed Forces. The commander of the company in which Donbass serves, with the call sign “Kid”, goes out to the commander of the armored personnel carrier of the arriving company, who stops. The column is spreading out. The commander of the replacement company with the call sign “Fierce" approaches the Baby.

FIERCE

Hey, Kid.

baby

You've seen better.

Kid and Fierce fraternize.

FIERCE

Well, well done. They took it for a joke.

baby

Everything is as planned. Donbass is doing well with his native pack.

FIERCE

Famously thought up. A round-robin assault after a grenade drop. We also need to include the same company in the unit.

baby

But this is an experimental company. I think that Donbass will not be the only one in the near future. They are already planning to introduce this unmanned unit across the entire front.

FIERCE

I wish I could do it sooner. But for now, it's just him, Donbass.

baby

And you put your cameraman with him. Let him train. Now he will be replenished with copter ammunition. And he'll be back. For now, investigate the enemy's position from a drone without it. And tomorrow there will be a replacement at Donbass. At night, I think it makes no sense to use packs. They're sleeping too.

The kid turns to his friends.

baby

Sergeant Major, hand over the shift and withdraw the column.

The kid turns to Fierce.

baby

Well, Fierce, not a bullet or a fragment.

FIERCE

To hell with it. And don't get sick.

The commanders disperse. The kid gets into the APC and the Kid's company moves off in the direction of the liberated territories.

The foster children of Donbass and Masha Bykov are sitting in the waiting room. As well as their parents: the father and mother of Donbass and Masha's mother.

FATHER OF DONBASS

Well, guys, you're going to have a little brother soon.

Lena

Won't they send us to an orphanage?

MOTHER OF DONBASS

What are you saying? You are all family to them and to us.

A nurse comes out to the emergency room and turns to the Bykov family.

nurse

The birth went well. The boy is strong, three kilograms six hundred grams. The mother's condition is stable.

MASHA'S MOTHER

Is it possible to see them?

nurse

Not today. They're resting. Tomorrow they will be transferred to the ward and you will be able to see them through the window in the meeting room.

The nurse walks away.

The father of Donbass takes out his smartphone and clicks on the video call screen. The face of Donbass appears on the screen.

Donbass

Hi Dad. So what? How's Masha?

FATHER OF DONBASS

She gave birth to a boy.

Donbass

(rejoicing)

Come on! Pancake. Can you show it on video?

FATHER OF DONBASS

Not now. They rest and recover. And tomorrow you can call her yourself.

Donbass

Wait until tomorrow. Damn, it took a long time. Well okay. If you see her ahead, give her my regards. How are the kids?

FATHER OF DONBASS

Normal. Everyone is healthy.

Donbass

And the mother?

THE FATHER OF DONBASS

, Too.

Donbass

Mother-in-law?

The mother of Donbass looks at the screen.

MOTHER OF DONBASS

Yes, we're all fine.

MASHA'S MOTHER

Hi Vanya.

Donbass

Hello Mom.

MOTHER OF DONBASS

How are you there?

Donbass

I'm fighting. And now I'm resting. We've done a three-shift shift, and now we have personal time in the department.

FATHER OF DONBASS

And what about the fronts?

Donbass

Slowly, but we're making progress. Okay, Dad. Hi everybody. The commander is calling me on the radio.

FATHER OF DONBASS

You take care of yourself, son.

The video connection is interrupted.

FATHER OF DONBASS

Well, let's go home.

Everyone gets up and leaves.

Chapter Three

Employees are sitting at computers. One of them turns to the senior officer standing behind him.

EMPLOYEE (ENGLISH)

Patron. I have determined the coordinates and full address of the maternity hospital where Donbass's wife has already given birth. He got in touch with his father on his smartphone.

THE PATRON

IS fine. Do we have sleeper agents nearby?

EMPLOYEE (ENGLISH)

Yes. A squad of special forces.

THE PATRON

IS fine. Contact them and have them deliver your wife and child to Kramatorsk.

THE DEPUTY (ENG.)

And why not to Kiev or to the USA?

PATRON (ENG.)

Because we don't need it. We need Donbass with the secret data of the upcoming offensive. And mostly Donbass, or whatever his name is according to his passport.

EMPLOYEE (ENG.)

Ivan Bykov.

PATRON (ENG.)

If he was able to steal the next president of Ukraine, then he will be able to replace him.

DEPUTY (ENGLISH)

Cough. Do you think he'll come over to our side?

A PATRON

FOR ten ards (billions) and an island with a palace and slaves, I think so.

DEPUTY (ENGLISH)

I don't know. These Russians are nuts. They are ready to give their lives for the sake of their tyrant, Tsar Putin.

The PATRON (ENG.)

But for the sake of his wife and son?! Let's see?! Follow orders, Corporal.

AN EMPLOYEE OF THE EU, sir.

An employee contacts agents in the Chelyabinsk region via a secret computer network.

DEPUTY (ENGLISH)

Patron. And how will they get her across the Russian border?

THE PATRON

IN THE Ambulance. There's a man at customs, too. He'll miss it. And from Kazakhstan by plane to Warsaw.

Well, further along the land to Kramatorsk. The main thing is to put her in an artificial coma. We'll take them out on the spot.

In the evening Masha takes the baby to feed. But she looks at him, and he cries and regurgitates. She presses the nurse's call button. The nurse comes in.

nurse

Something happened?

Masha

Sister. He burps up.

nurse

Well, it's normal after feeding. Children sometimes regurgitate excess food.

Masha

Yes, but he hasn't sucked yet.

The nurse puts her fingers to the child's forehead and takes the smartphone.

nurse

We will transfer him to the intensive care unit. He has a fever.

The pediatrician rolls a stroller with an intensive care unit for newborns into Masha's room. He puts the baby in it and takes it away.

Masha

But what about feeding? Has he eaten yet?

pediatrician

Don't worry, Mother. We'll connect him to the IV line.

Masha takes her smartphone and looks at the screen.

MASHA

Damn IT. Again, there is no connection. What kind of hospital do you have?

At night, a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces saboteurs quietly approaches the observation window. One of them approaches the window without hiding. The guard sees the man and opens the window. The guy sprays nerve gas through the window into the guard's face, and the guard and his partner prostrate and lose consciousness. A group of saboteurs run through the turnstile. One of them runs inside the post and opens the gate. An ambulance pulls in and heads for the emergency room door.

People in balaclavas run into the emergency room and shoot at the medics present with soporific bullets-syringes. They also fall to the floor and lose consciousness. One of them looks at a magazine and finds Masha Bykova's last name. He looks at the room number and shows his hands to the others. They run in the indicated direction.

Masha is sleeping on the bed. The door opens quietly and a gun appears. A syringe bullet silently shoots out of the barrel and hits the blanket, in the area of Masha's buttocks. Masha's neighbors are also being shot at. Six saboteurs in balaclavas run in with a black stretcher bag for corpses. They put Masha's sleepy body in it. They are buttoned up to the nose and quickly carried out of the ward.

Saboteurs with a bag run out of the emergency room door, open the Ambulance door, roll out a stretcher and put the bag on the stretcher. They roll the stretcher into the car, run inside, one closes the door and sits down next to the driver. The car starts moving and leaves the Medgorodok.

In Kiev, a girl with a bare ass is standing on the street by a pole with duct tape and passersby are whipping her with rods. Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are standing nearby. Grandma comes over.

GRANDMA (IN UKRAINIAN)

Why was she tied up?

SOLDIER (IN UKRAINIAN)

She is a collaborator of Moskalsky. Punish her for her betrayal.

The soldier hands the rod to the grandmother. She waves her head in refusal.

SOLDIER (IN UKRAINIAN)

Beat you, you old bitch, or we'll tie you up next to her.

GRANDMA (IN UKRAINIAN)

Fiends. She's a young girl. And you are fascists.

The soldiers grab the grandmother and put her on the other side of the pillar, facing the pillar, and stretch her body. They tear the clothes in the buttocks area and begin to whip. Grandma screams in pain. A Shvidka Dopomog (Ambulance) carriage passes by.

Chapter Four

In the salon, a guy performer holds a satellite radio by his ear. He looks at Masha's sleeping body.

THE PERFORMER (IN UKRAINIAN)

We are passing through Kiev. I couldn't call before for conspiracy reasons. The child was not in the room. We're only taking his mother.

THE CUSTOMER (IN UKRAINIAN)

IS fine. The job is half done, so you will receive only a third of the fee.

PERFORMER (IN UKRAINIAN)

Why only a third?

The CUSTOMER (IN UKRAINIAN)

has no questions for me. It was necessary to probe the soil first.

The PERFORMER (IN UKRAINIAN)

was in her room during the day.

CUSTOMER (IN UKRAINIAN)

Get to Kramatorsk. That's where we'll decide what to do with you and how much to pay you. End of communication.

The carriage of a high-speed ambulance passes by a store from which a young guy comes out with packages. Four soldiers run up to him, twist him up and shove him into the side door of another carriage with a few Extra help. They get in themselves and leave.

THE GUY (IN UKRAINIAN)

Where are you taking me?

SOLDIER'S PATROL (IN UKRAINIAN)

And you didn't understand? To the war. To protect the homeland from the Russians.

An AFU soldier checks the guy's pockets and finds a Ukrainian passport. He passes it to another soldier.

SOLDIER'S PATROL (PROD.)

Take and write a summons on your passport.

THE GUY (IN UKRAINIAN)

I'm disabled.

SOLDIER'S PATROL (IN UKRAINIAN)

AND I'm a transvestite.

The line of contact. The Kid's company is mopping up urban structures. An armored truck with a closed armored body pulls up nearby. Donbass is driving.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Donbass Beaver.

Donbass

Donbass is in touch.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Do you see the high-rise building?

DONBASS

yes.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Intelligence says there are snipers and machine gunners on the third, fifth, seventh floors and on the roof.

Donbass

We'll clean it up now.

Donbass clicks on the tablet installed on the car's control panel. The body cover opens automatically and powerful kamikaze quadrocopters fly out. They fly up to the house and line up in front of the windows on all the specified floors. Some of them hover over the roof and drop grenades. Those opposite the windows are firing from under-barrel grenade launchers. There are explosions in the windows and on the roof. The quadrocopters return to the place from where they took off. They sit down in their seats and the body cover closes.

Donbass

Donbass Beaver.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Beaver is in touch.

Donbass

The house has been cleaned. You can storm on.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Has accepted. End of communication.

The Donbass platoon launches an offensive and runs into the entrances of a multi-storey building cleared by quadrocopters.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Donbass Beaver.

Donbass

Donbass is in touch.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Everything is cleared, Commander. Our house.

Donbass

Take the residents out of the basement, if there is a Buryat department, let it take them out of the contact area. The rest are cleaned up further. The whole neighborhood needs to be cleaned up before the end of the shift.

BEAVER (behind the scenes)

Accepted, Commander. Before the connection.

Donbass sits in the location and clicks on the screen of his smartphone. He calls Masha. Video communication is enabled. Masha's tearful mother appears on the screen.

Donbass

Hello. Where's Masha?

MASHA'S MOTHER

IS Vanya. She was abducted. The police told us.

Donbass

How? And the son?

MASHA'S MOTHER

The son was not touched. He was transferred to the intensive care unit in the evening with a fever. That's what saved him, apparently.

Donbass

Have you watched the video?

MASHA'S MOTHER

Yes, but the kidnappers put the guards to sleep and turned off the security cameras. The external camera shows that a guy approached the post, sprayed a window, apparently with sleeping gas, and entered the territory. Then the video ends.

Donbass

Don't worry about it. I'll find her.

MASHA'S MOTHER

How will you find her and where?

Donbass

If she's not dead, then they need me and they'll get in touch. It's a matter of time. Take your son away from this area. Although they won't try to steal it anymore.

MASHA'S MOTHER

Why did you decide that?

Donbass

Because by now, for sure, the FSB officers are already shaking customs and other posts.

The video connection is terminated. The officer on duty enters the unit and shouts.

duty

Donbass. To the colonel. Urgently.

Donbass

Has accepted.

Donbass gets up, straightens his clothes and goes to the exit.

Chapter Five

He approaches the tent headquarters and goes inside. In the tent, a colonel sits at a table in the center and a major stands to one side. Donbass stands at attention.

Donbass

Petty Officer Ivan Bykov, the call sign “Donbass” has arrived on your orders.

THE COLONEL

(sadly)

At ease. Sit down at the table, Vanya.

Donbass sits down at the table opposite the major.

COLONEL

And you, Major, sit down.

The major sits down too.

MAJOR

How are you, Vanya?

Donbass

Normal.

THE COLONEL

First of all, I want to congratulate you on the birth of your son.

Donbass

Thank you.

MAJOR

Are you aware that your wife was stolen?

DONBASS

yes. I just called her. Her mother replied.

MAJOR

I saw the new Zelensky on the news yesterday.

THE COLONEL

Similar?

MAJOR

Almost. The ears are wrong and the belly is bigger. He slouches.

THE COLONEL

Are we already having three Zelenskys?

Donbass

And which one of them is the real one?

THE COLONEL

Nobody. The real one is probably already feeding the worms. But that's not the main point. I want to talk to you, Donbass, about the latest developments of our manufacturers.

MAJOR

According to your sketches.

Donbass

I'm paying attention, Comrade Colonel.

MAJOR

Have you received an anonymous message from Kramatorsk?

DONBASS

yes.

THE COLONEL

And what does he want?

Donbass

He says he can trade my wife for a secret package of the upcoming general offensive. And the transfer will take place in the central square of Kramatorsk. Or it will be sent in parts to my parents by parcels.
