From what I read, it was a general protest against the republic's pro-Putin leader and his suppression of other voices.
The opposition leader has been jailed for allegedly spreading ethnic hate, which he and his supporters deny. They claim it is just because they oppose Putin.

Bashkortostan definitely sounds like one of those made up republics in a B Movie.

I wonder if that drone operator knew they were flying over Putin's house. Must have taken all their willpower to not ram through the front door.

That actually looks much cooler than how something like that would have been portrayed in a movie.

Sure, but a lot of the time it's because the real world isn't visually cinematic.
That said, I would live some more realism to what war looks like in movies. Build the drama out of something else, like tension and characters...

Greatest Military mini-series ever!
It is the best portrayal of life in modern western military.
So much relatable content.
