When the Syrian government launched a major offensive last week, pounding rebel positions on the outskirts of Damascus, a correspondent for Russian state television, Evgeny Poddubnyy, narrated a report on the attack while standing alongside artillery gunners firing from a destroyed building in the suburb of Jobar.

But the most dramatic images of the battle in the broadcast were captured from above the ruined landscape by a drone operated by Mr. Poddubnyy’s cameraman, Alexander Pushin.

This week, Mr. Pushin shared a sort of dance remix of the drone footage on Facebook, offering aerial views of rebels in Jobar under fire from T-72 tanks, mortar rounds and Russian Sukhoi jets, set to electronic dance music and tinted in such a way as to make the resulting clip look and feel like an ad for a video game.
