I was joking of course but I really don't see that much similarity with combat footage from the war. It seems rather inspired by movies.

I'm really talking about how all the footage is similar to gopro and drone footage, which is how a lot of information about war comes to us these days. This is an especially strong theme where the resistance are the cameras, and the audience's camera is always diegetic - meaning it literally exists within the story, it's not a god's eye view - and can be destroyed in combat.

Also the skibi toilets are very regimented and often proceed in formation like tanks on parade, whilst the cameras hide and take attacks of opportunity. It's very much the image of a technologically superior force versus a guerilla resistance.

I'm happy if people disagree with this, it's just an interpretation, obviously.

It's a very interesting interpretation and I do see the possibility of a connection, since the creator is russian.
