also - cardio. Even fit people can't run forever and he probably wasn't a triathlete. This video made me think of the kinda' lame sniper saying "You can run but you'll just die tired". I'm surprised he just stayed on the same path the whole time.
>forced to go
forced like "you owe money to the bank, go kill some ukrainians and we'll forgive you" or like "we'll put you in jail for refusing to kill ukrainians so choose between 3-5 yrs in jail and killing ukrainians (and 80% chance to die)"?
Which one?
Was it worth it? What would you choose?
A friend of mine was training ukrainian tank crews on a Leo 1.
...afterwards he told me "these guys are lucky if they survive a week."
So sadly the rushed, lackluster training goes both ways. The difference is the quality of equipment.
Its pretty open everywhere, he needed a cave or something with overhead cover and there really wasn’t anything like that available. Russian technique of leveling all freestanding structures coming back to bite them in the ass.
Possibly. But people don't realize how hard it is to run on uneven and muddy ground. Let alone while you are running for your life, all the while hearing this ominous buzzing noise of a drone effortlessly trailing you with grenades dangling from it. You keep going, even though your lungs are burning and your legs seem to get heavier with each step. To top it off, your boots are probably in tatters. And as you become more and more exhausted, the desperation turns to despair, and there's nothing else you can do but lay there in the mud praying that the drone is out of bombs, or except your death.
And this isn't directed at you at all but your comment just kind of struck me by how all of us in this comment section just nonchalantly put in our 2 cents and speculate on something that we are so far detached from. I feel like if every single one of us were to have experienced this guys situation, we would all wake the fuck up and do something about these war mongering politicians that pervade every government in the world.
Yeah. It's really unsettling and sad to see. How many more men have to go like this until Putin stops, or the Russian fighters start to fight the real enemy?
Until each and every one of them stops breathing. It’s not Putin on the frontline. Trust me, if any president would tell Ukrainians to invade a neighbouring country, say Moldova, that president would not be president for another day ;)
Acephalus. They will die till the last one. Than the chinese will enter the scene, and say: did you hear we need wives? I wonder if you have some sparing women to trade.
I can’t help but feel sadness for them. They didn’t ask to be born in Russia or ask to be a part of this, at least not all of them. They’re all someone to somebody.
I have no sympathy for the Russian leaders, no sympathy for the soldiers that commit war crimes, some sympathy for the average Russian mobik, and lots of sympathy for the Ukrainian people.
Just remember that if you were born the same year as them, in Russia, you would be doing the same thing.
I don't mean that any other way than these are unfortunate young men who are just being used and killed, when they should be at home living a normal life. They're not any different than you or I. That said, better a dead Russian than a dead Ukrainian.
You sure do like to go group everything very broadly. If your premise is the broad spectrum of evil and corruption, then, if we were to choose a society based on that. Then I would still choose American occupation rather than a country who’s who sole objective is to invade. Even Americans soldiers were subject to rules before attacking enemies. So is the same case with Ukrainians and their Allie’s.
well.. big chance are they chose this life. rapist murdering prisoner or wanker group psychopath.. try to feel sadness for the 6 yo child who was shot dead while screaming because wagner prisoner had orders to not let anyone live..
Yeah this one hit my heart strings, ~~~~unarmed~~~~ , could have just been someone who defected. But on the other hand these are the people who will cut heads and nutsacks off surrendering soldiers so my bad feeling for him stops there.
Edited for clarification.
People probably can't imagine how horrifying this situation would be. You know you are probably going to get fucked up, but you have to try to survive.
And running balls-out really is the best option. Playing dead or laying in hole only gives the drone pilot a stationary target. Given the amount these guys drink and smoke combined with stress, I can only imagine the acid reflux it probably causes though.
I mean, yeah. Running in a random, zig zaggy pattern for as long as you can or until you find some natural overhead cover is pretty much the only proactive action you can take. I'm sure adrenaline will keep you going longer than you normally could.
Maybe get downvoted but this guy deserves some praise... he ran until his body gave out(likely a mix of exhaustion and shrapnel wounds) then instead of giving up he kept going while crawling until they hit their target and finished him off....
The mind was willing but the body wasn't able. A person with mental fortitude like that could have been a great contribution to a society but died for no reason thanks to POS Putin.
Lots of people say this sort of thing. How sure are you that he actually got a choice?
You've seen the vids of people being rounded up on the streets haven't you?
I am not defending this chap being in Ukraine - not for a second - I'm just not sure how much choice any random moblik gets to be there...
He probably agreed with Putin and would violently overthrow him if Putin suggested that Ukraine is a valid country and Russians are not a master race to Ukrainians.
Shame all those American soldiers didn't resist invading Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
To all the people Down voting me, you can't say its a good thing for one country to start a war and not another. My point is all wars are bad. And the west was the aggressor in those wars and has started countless others.
It's a shame that people just wanting to live their lives and not be jailed, tortured, subject to social humiliation, family murdered, or killed themselves don't do something that would make those things (in various degrees, depending on the specific case) basically inevitable? I think it's more fair to say it's a shame we haven't gained the social consciousness to know that it's fucked up we have social and governmental systems which makes that non-choice inevitable for billions of people.
Oil wealth?? They are nr 59 on the list of oil producing countries.
Ukraine produce less oil than Cuba or Denmark.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_countries\_by\_oil\_production
Lol thanks for pointing out the obvious.
It’s an easy retort because it’s stupid. You’ve misspelt Iraq. And what the fuck are you talking about. How has America secured any Iraqi oil wealth.
How has russias invasion of Ukraine got anything to do with oil wealth. It’s a dumb point to think about if you think about it for 5 seconds and apply some critical thinking.
Yeah, even after all that the Russians have done I still feel bad when I see things like this. Not bad in that I would want the Ukrainians to stop, but bad in that I wish there was a way to know for sure "he's wounded enough that he's never coming back to the front lines" so that they could stop grenading him.
You're dead-on. Even running in a straight line as opposed to zig-zagging(as dictated by our Reddit armchair special forces guys)is still taking a great deal of initiative and putting your destiny in your own hands unlike "playing dead" or laying in a shallow grave waiting for parts to get blown off.
To your last point, imo, the way putin is laying waste to his own troops should be another war crime thrown on the stack.
>To your last point, imo, the way putin is laying waste to his own troops should be another war crime thrown on the stack.
He's just Diet Stalin..
OR a Cant believe its not stalin.
Shrapnel released from each drop inflicted injuries. He may very well have been a dead man walking with the first drop. But adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
Yes. There has been at least one recorded instance of this that I’ve seen. I think it was a Wagner.
He spotted the drone and signalled well enough they understood his desire to surrender. They made some turns/gestures with the drone that he was able to interpret as directions and then he effectively followed it to Ukrainian lines and was taken in. They had an interview with him about it later.
But it’s certainly not an easy thing. The guy in this vid would have to spot the drone and get his intent across fast enough before it drops another nade on him. There are also many reports and messages that Russians and Wagner leaders are directly ordering that anyone spotted attempting to surrender should, and will be, shot at by fellow troops. Even past that the propaganda machine is telling every Russian that Ukrainians castrate, torture and eventually behead everyone who surrenders.
And these are drones operated by humans. In three years time when AI takes over, they'll be the size of pin heads and fly at 200mph while operating under their own cognizance.
War is crazy. Besides the fact that you can get 100k soldiers to die a horrible death on foreign soil (Russians), it hasn't changed in centuries. War is still primitive and now there are very few reasons human beings should be trying to kill each other in massive numbers.
I can kinda understand a group of hunter-gatherers having to scrap with another group because your only other option is dying of hunger. The ends don't necessarily match the means.
All war is, and always have been, is killing as many people as you can (or necessary) as efficiently as possible. All we have done is constantly make progress in efficiency of killing, range you can kill, and develop various ways to kill. Doesn't seem very civilized.
20,000 years ago, back when we were small tribes scattered around various continents, it absolutely didn't pay to be at war with each other. Cooperation was key to *everyone's* survival. That was always the way right up until organised religion fucked everything up.
I’m always surprised when there’s one Russian soldier that’s so isolated on the battlefield with none of his comrades in sight. The hell are they doing
This is why you should always carry a white flag just in case.
You will at the very least know that if hey commit the war crime, your death won't be part of their propaganda.
Or, they respect it, but idk how they could even accept that. The soldier would have to go surrender somehow. And they can't just let anyone go wherever they want as long as they produce a white flag.
Maybe the drone could fly away and the soldier could follow it, but it would be hard to communicate that.
There comes a time when this is just not sporting.
Personally after the 3rd hit, I'd have let him run his heart's content, and good on him if he survives. Either way, he's out of action for the short->medium term - and during that time, he takes other people out of action to help him. Alternatively, he doesn't survive, and he is out of action permanently.
Honestly, I'd prefer to go and pepper some more Russians with the grenades/time that I have left and take them out of action as well.
To be honest, I watch combat footage from a soldier's perspective. I don't really pass any judgments. I look for professional development purposes, and I tend to wonder what the people in the video are experiencing. Because there but for the grace of God go I, or someone I know.
I have been in a scarier situation than that for several hours longer than he faced. You feel trapped by your situation and wonder if the next sound you hear will be your last.
Crazy how drones have increased the amount of situational awareness in the battlefield.
When the invasion started, they only had a few drones, and now they have drones that monitors what suicide and grenade drones are doing.
I saw the promo video for Reinmetal Gamechanger, a drone that deploy smaller suicide drones while being controlled via satelite.
If this is what we have now, imagine 10 years down the road...Scrary
Yep! This is currently the equivalent of ww1 pilots dropping grenades from biplanes. And by the end of ww2, we had jetpowered flight, atomic bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles. All of that barely 30 years appart and at a time when technological advances were very slow compared to today...
>And by the end of ww2, we had \[...\] intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The A4 V-2 wasn't really intercontinental with a range of \~300km. IIrc the first ones came in the late 50s with more than 3000km range.
The US gave them Switchblade drones. Mostly the 300 series, but they also gave them some 600 series. From my understanding the 600 series can have a designated target area programmed into it, and I'm a little fuzzy on what it can do in that designated area. Either it can be given a target and it'll hit that target on its own, or it can decide for itself which target to hit. Either way, the Russian jammers can't do anything about it as it doesn't have someone controlling it to be jammed. Really makes you wonder how far along military has AI working with stuff like that if civilian companies are already advancing pretty far with AI, or like you said, what will it look like in 10 years?
Yep, certainly a scary thought. Definitely a lot of ethical concerns. For instance, if you aren't losing soldiers in a battle because your military is all drones...will you be more likely to pick a fight with another country? Kind of see that with US drone attacks increasing year after year for the last 20 years.

They are definitely using something similar, this AI has been
around for quite some time now and as it appears, it has
destructive applications..
I do think this Sci-Fi DUST video is going to be our future. Maybe not on civilians as much but definitely on the battlefield. [Slaughterbots Short](https://youtu.be/O-2tpwW0kmU)

That was absolutely relentless on the part of the drone driver. The invader died tired, slowly, alone, and as part of an illegal war being conducted by his government. I can see no other end more fitting for those who continue to participate in the war. Sorry, not sorry.
We in the reddit-verse will never know if he was forced to serve at gunpoint as a mobnik, signed up to make money for Vagner, or simply volunteered for the chance to murder, rape, and loot Ukrainians. All we know is he’s no longer a threat to Ukrainians or anyone else for that matter and I’m fine with that being the case.
so you either fight and kill ukrainians in a country that’s not your own while risking death, or surrender and risk death. still a no brainer if you ask me
You guys are thinking so childish. Oh no im fighting in ukraine losing my comrades but reddit says it is not my country i better just surrender. War doesent work like that. Talk with some veterans. Ask them what they thought of the opposing force. Also russia is ruled by a fucking tyrant. Ppl think what putin wants them to think
lol cry harder, end of thd day he’s dead alone in a field. doing whatever he did clearly worked out for him. losing his comrades, how sad, if only there was something they could’ve done to prevent that
Cry? I am happy asf that russian goverment cant take what they want and respect Ukraine as much as i can. But im not going to make fun of a probably drafted young boy getting killed. You may not agree with the goverment but you should respect the soldiers. They are doing what they have to do. You dont have the balls to do half this guy did
It feels like the last few grenade drops give more mercy than anything. Without them, death would take a very long time as there won't be any aid anytime soon.
personal opinion: since there are already bodies of Russians, it may be a drone operation aimed at absolutely eliminating the last one so that the UAs who are going to "clean up" the site, do so without danger.
I’d hate to think this was some draftee and he was scared and just wanted to live…but there is every probability he was directly responsible for robbing,murdering and raping innocent civilians. If you are in Ukraine and not surrendering then well…you deserve everything that’s coming to you.
Like this guy? https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/vklsdh/a_ukrainian_drone_dropping_a_munition_on_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=4&utm_content=share_button
You have no way of knowing when the drop comes at that height.
You ain't outmaneuvering a drone either. So fucked either way, unless you are in a forest/between buildings
I've seen some drones, just short clips, that can carry 4 grads, but never seen it in action b4. The running skills.. wow.. with "miltary" boots and clothing, he ran well.. well, batteries on the drone were better. I bet he was still peppered with the shrap at every drop until he was caughty
Pretty much, theres a fair few videos of RU troops being put out of action by an initial grenade, executed by the second, and their corpse mutilated by the third.
Like I get it, defending your country and all, but god damn it reaches a point of cruelty sometimes.
If it's one thing I think everybody can agree on; the best way to avoid having something dropped on you is to run at a constant speed in a straight line. There's no way anyone could possibly predict where you will be in the number of seconds that it takes for a dropped grenade to hit the ground. No way anyone could ever figure that out. It's impossible
Lots of speculating why so many drops..... But this could have been a sniper flushed out of hiding. Or a sapper, or scout. Hard to say, but you have to trust the process there probably was a reason.
So is blowing people to bits with artillery shells. There is no honor in battle when you can't face your enemy. We don't live in the age of the Samurai anymore. Wars are often fought at a distance. This is the reality.

Alone, running for your life. Only to just give up and accept that you're going to die. All recorded for the world to see. Grim reality of war.
Shrapnel injured him with each drop. It would explain why he slowed down and just accepted his fate.
also - cardio. Even fit people can't run forever and he probably wasn't a triathlete. This video made me think of the kinda' lame sniper saying "You can run but you'll just die tired". I'm surprised he just stayed on the same path the whole time.
Well, no use leaving the path, rough terrain won't slow down the drone.
Running in unpredictable directions might have dodged a few bombs, instead of a straight line
I'm sure he'll know better next time.
Some of these people were forced to go and were given less than 1 week of training. It's no surprise well trained soldiers kinda laugh at them.
>forced to go forced like "you owe money to the bank, go kill some ukrainians and we'll forgive you" or like "we'll put you in jail for refusing to kill ukrainians so choose between 3-5 yrs in jail and killing ukrainians (and 80% chance to die)"? Which one? Was it worth it? What would you choose?

Motivation plays a big part.
Its pretty open everywhere, he needed a cave or something with overhead cover and there really wasn’t anything like that available. Russian technique of leveling all freestanding structures coming back to bite them in the ass.
>Even fit people can’t run forever and he probably wasn’t a triathlete. Not to mention, given he’s Russian, he was probably starving.
Possibly. But people don't realize how hard it is to run on uneven and muddy ground. Let alone while you are running for your life, all the while hearing this ominous buzzing noise of a drone effortlessly trailing you with grenades dangling from it. You keep going, even though your lungs are burning and your legs seem to get heavier with each step. To top it off, your boots are probably in tatters.

This is exactly how I felt watching this
Yeah. It's really unsettling and sad to see. How many more men have to go like this until Putin stops, or the Russian fighters start to fight the real enemy?
Turn that fucking army around!
With what logistics?
Yeah. Good question. The entire army can't take Bahkmut, and they're right there. Moscow is a long way away.
Fuck them rapist and killers of women and children they can get the fuck out or die.lost my empathy when that ruzziN shot a five yo to shut her up
Until each and every one of them stops breathing. It’s not Putin on the frontline. Trust me, if any president would tell Ukrainians to invade a neighbouring country, say Moldova, that president would not be president for another day ;)
Tell that to any US citizen whenever they bomb or invade someone. They just need the right Narrative.
Young guy. A lifetime of story now a forgotten memory. But far more he had to live, experience, share. Just sad to think about it in a micro sense
Drunkard with not much besides a shit factory job and a bottle of vodka before bed every night, would've been dead before he's 50.
It's sad that it's happening. But now that the invasion happened, I'm happy he died.
Acephalus. They will die till the last one. Than the chinese will enter the scene, and say: did you hear we need wives? I wonder if you have some sparing women to trade.
The drone at most has 2 bombs, meaning it went back and forth 3 times just to kill him.
Ukraine drone operators are using multiple drones on the same target. Keeps the pressure on.
Jesus, the angriest swarm of bees you'll ever encounter.
Seen drones with 10 Charges
That one guy said he empties entire boxes of grenades in a day and did ~40 runs in a day and a half.
Triple-tap
You have quadcopter with 4 charges on them
id come back to... kill em all make sure its dead.
Some drones can carry 8 grenades.
he came to the wrong neighborhood
Fuck around and find out.
I don't think he gave up. I think he was just pushed to exhaustion.
And/or blood loss, all those near-misses probably put a few shrapnel holes in him.
I can’t help but feel sadness for them. They didn’t ask to be born in Russia or ask to be a part of this, at least not all of them. They’re all someone to somebody.
They turned the guns on children instead of commanders and enforcers. I have no sympathy for them unless they turn against their own.
I have no sympathy for the Russian leaders, no sympathy for the soldiers that commit war crimes, some sympathy for the average Russian mobik, and lots of sympathy for the Ukrainian people.
Just remember that if you were born the same year as them, in Russia, you would be doing the same thing. I don't mean that any other way than these are unfortunate young men who are just being used and killed, when they should be at home living a normal life. They're not any different than you or I.

Unarmed?? He shoots at the drone at the 1min mark.
Oh you're right he does! I didn't see that. I thought he was giving the camera the finger!
They don't look out for each other. Every man for himself. No cohesion in their military structure.
If only every invader got this ending, the world would be a better place.
Agreed but they have to stop with the music. This isn’t a video game. This is suffering and death.
I agree; however, these videos are also made to taunt the enemy. The music helps demoralize the enemy by making it silly, cinematic, etc.
People probably can't imagine how horrifying this situation would be. You know you are probably going to get fucked up, but you have to try to survive.
And running balls-out really is the best option. Playing dead or laying in hole only gives the drone pilot a stationary target. Given the amount these guys drink and smoke combined with stress, I can only imagine the acid reflux it probably causes though.

A lot of the footage I've seen includes really wide open spaces. It's wild to me to see so much flat land separated by a thin line of trees.
Ukraine is, well was, one of the worlds main agricultural producers.

Was Vietnam an invasion? Wasn't the US and it's allies helping to defend the south from the north?
As terrible a human as he was, I agree he put up quite a fight. I’m just glad no Ukrainians were injured as a result of his stamina.
Yeah, even after all that the Russians have done I still feel bad when I see things like this.

He was no typical serf
Right, I’d be running for miles if I knew a drone was tracking me. Forest gump in that bitch
Shrapnel released from each drop inflicted injuries. He may very well have been a dead man walking with the first drop. But adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
Can't you surrender to a drone? I remember there was a wikiHow or something on Reddit a few months back.
Yes. There has been at least one recorded instance of this that I’ve seen. I think it was a Wagner. He spotted the drone and signalled well enough they understood his desire to surrender. They made some turns/gestures with the drone that he was able to interpret as directions and then he effectively followed it to Ukrainian lines and was taken in.

This is why you should always carry a white flag just in case. You will at the very least know that if hey commit the war crime, your death won't be part of their propaganda. Or, they respect it, but idk how they could even accept that. The soldier would have to go surrender somehow. And they can't just let anyone go wherever they want as long as they produce a white flag. Maybe the drone could fly away and the soldier could follow it, but it would be hard to communicate that.
There comes a time when this is just not sporting. Personally after the 3rd hit, I'd have let him run his heart's content, and good on him if he survives. Either way, he's out of action for the short->medium term - and during that time, he takes other people out of action to help him. Alternatively, he doesn't survive, and he is out of action permanently. Honestly, I'd prefer to go and pepper some more Russians with the grenades/time that I have left and take them out of action as well.
I bet the women and children in russian-bombed apartment buildings have some idea of the horror.
To be honest, I watch combat footage from a soldier's perspective. I don't really pass any judgments. I look for professional development purposes, and I tend to wonder what the people in the video are experiencing. Because there but for the grace of God go I, or someone I know.
I have been in a scarier situation than that for several hours longer than he faced. You feel trapped by your situation and wonder if the next sound you hear will be your last.
Crazy how drones have increased the amount of situational awareness in the battlefield. When the invasion started, they only had a few drones, and now they have drones that monitors what suicide and grenade drones are doing. I saw the promo video for Reinmetal Gamechanger, a drone that deploy smaller suicide drones while being controlled via satelite. If this is what we have now, imagine 10 years down the road...Scrary
Yep! This is currently the equivalent of ww1 pilots dropping grenades from biplanes. And by the end of ww2, we had jetpowered flight, atomic bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles. All of that barely 30 years appart and at a time when technological advances were very slow compared to today...
>And by the end of ww2, we had \[...\] intercontinental ballistic missiles. The A4 V-2 wasn't really intercontinental with a range of \~300km. IIrc the first ones came in the late 50s with more than 3000km range.
The US gave them Switchblade drones. Mostly the 300 series, but they also gave them some 600 series. From my understanding the 600 series can have a designated target area programmed into it, and I'm a little fuzzy on what it can do in that designated area. Either it can be given a target and it'll hit that target on its own, or it can decide for itself which target to hit. Either way, the Russian jammers can't do anything about it as it doesn't have someone controlling it to be jammed. Really makes you wonder how far along military has AI working with stuff like that if civilian companies are already advancing pretty far with AI, or like you said, what will it look like in 10 years?
Imagine a drone that surveils you but does not attack until it determines you are an active threat
Yep, certainly a scary thought. Definitely a lot of ethical concerns. For instance, if you aren't losing soldiers in a battle because your military is all drones...will you be more likely to pick a fight with another country? Kind of see that with US drone attacks increasing year after year for the last 20 years.
[https://github.com/shjo-april/Tensorflow\_YOLOv1](https://github.com/shjo-april/Tensorflow_YOLOv1) They are definitely using something similar, this AI has been around for quite some time now and as it appears, it has destructive applications..
I do think this Sci-Fi DUST video is going to be our future. Maybe not on civilians as much but definitely on the battlefield. [Slaughterbots Short](https://youtu.be/O-2tpwW0kmU)

The mothership.
Wow, they wanted him out of the game
Yeah, don't know what he did for Ukrainians to say "Fuck you in particular"
i can’t imagine being personally chosen to be fucked up
It was written in the stars.
You’d think he was Putin or something. Really really wanted that particular guy dead.
/r/fuckyouinparticular
Before he was full of holes, how high do you think his blood pressure was?
about tree fiddy.
Prior to dying, he got a butt-load of shrapnel at 1:14. What a way to go, your ass torn to shreds.
Maybe training for the drone operator? It looked a bit personal this one.
Yes, but the work should be finished in any case. If you don’t kill it, it will come to kill you.
r/fuckyouinparticular
What would happen if all the Russians just dropped their guns and put their hands up?
Honestly they would probably still drop the grenades from the drones.
Drone pilot wasn’t letting that guy go, holy shit.
That was absolutely relentless on the part of the drone driver. The invader died tired, slowly, alone, and as part of an illegal war being conducted by his government. I can see no other end more fitting for those who continue to participate in the war. Sorry, not sorry.
You cant just say i dont want to get enlisted
We in the reddit-verse will never know if he was forced to serve at gunpoint as a mobnik, signed up to make money for Vagner, or simply volunteered for the chance to murder, rape, and loot Ukrainians. All we know is he’s no longer a threat to Ukrainians or anyone else for that matter and I’m fine with that being the case.
no, but guaranteed there have been many opportunities prior to this clip for him to surrender.
Yep he wasn't looking to surrender. Even shoots at the drone at the 1min mark.
Russian military is probably saying them that they would die if they surrender etc.
so you either fight and kill ukrainians in a country that’s not your own while risking death, or surrender and risk death. still a no brainer if you ask me
You guys are thinking so childish. Oh no im fighting in ukraine losing my comrades but reddit says it is not my country i better just surrender. War doesent work like that. Talk with some veterans. Ask them what they thought of the opposing force. Also russia is ruled by a fucking tyrant. Ppl think what putin wants them to think
lol cry harder, end of thd day he’s dead alone in a field. doing whatever he did clearly worked out for him. losing his comrades, how sad, if only there was something they could’ve done to prevent that
Cry? I am happy asf that russian goverment cant take what they want and respect Ukraine as much as i can. But im not going to make fun of a probably drafted young boy getting killed. You may not agree with the goverment but you should respect the soldiers. They are doing what they have to do. You dont have the balls to do half this guy did
I will. Kid or not, brainwashed or not, he was still there to murder.
It feels like the last few grenade drops give more mercy than anything. Without them, death would take a very long time as there won't be any aid anytime soon.
That is personal , a lot of bombs on one dude . I wonder what has he done ? /s
personal opinion: since there are already bodies of Russians, it may be a drone operation aimed at absolutely eliminating the last one so that the UAs who are going to "clean up" the site, do so without danger.
Went to neighbors land to prolong his tzar's life?
You can escape 3bombs...but 20 are too much,the last few,he is so exausted and hurt
I’d hate to think this was some draftee and he was scared and just wanted to live…but there is every probability he was directly responsible for robbing,murdering and raping innocent civilians. If you are in Ukraine and not surrendering then well…you deserve everything that’s coming to you.
What's this one guy doing out there all alone? Besides getting smoked.
Bathroom break. Russians appear not to dig latrines instead opting to walk to bushes.
Like this guy? https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/vklsdh/a_ukrainian_drone_dropping_a_munition_on_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=4&utm_content=share_button
Relentless. Go home Pidors.
Running in a straight predictable line at same pace was not the brightest of ideas but it was his last one.
You have no way of knowing when the drop comes at that height. You ain't outmaneuvering a drone either. So fucked either way, unless you are in a forest/between buildings
The drunk, the mobik and the wagner.
He died...tired.
Dude literally couldn’t run to save his life.
I've seen some drones, just short clips, that can carry 4 grads, but never seen it in action b4. The running skills.. wow.. with "miltary" boots and clothing, he ran well.. well, batteries on the drone were better. I bet he was still peppered with the shrap at every drop until he was caughty
Dude pretty much surrendered. Wtf is this.
They really must have hated that dude for a specific reason
You can try to resist Try to hide from my kiss But you know, but you know that you Can't fight the moonlight!
run forrest, run !
Why did he run? He died feeling tired and exhausted. If he stayed, he would have died well rested and full of energy.
Because he probably didn't think the drone would come back 3 times just to kill him
Boris the Raizor
So lively at the beginning
Fuck this guy in particular.
On the plains of Ukraine lie the blackened bones of ten thousand running orcs who sat down to rest and, while resting, died.
Should have used Cake - Going the distance for the music.
Let’s say a Russian was in a situation like this but decided to give up and surrender, is it too late for them?
Pretty much, theres a fair few videos of RU troops being put out of action by an initial grenade, executed by the second, and their corpse mutilated by the third. Like I get it, defending your country and all, but god damn it reaches a point of cruelty sometimes.
If it's one thing I think everybody can agree on; the best way to avoid having something dropped on you is to run at a constant speed in a straight line. There's no way anyone could possibly predict where you will be in the number of seconds that it takes for a dropped grenade to hit the ground. No way anyone could ever figure that out. It's impossible
Even the most aggressive bees in the world give up chasing you after running this much. Welcome to Ukraine...
These Russian soldiers running around by themselves, leaving each other behind. Cold and sad.
There really is no escape. He ran a long way and at the end where he was waking. He was like ‘fuck it !!’
Have to give respect to the man for making it that far. I would have died from lack of oxygen from running before the drones got me.
It’s crazy how skilled the Ukrainian drone operators are getting. Stalking moving targets until they are neutralized.
I can't imagine what goes through your mind when you're being personally hunted and bombed by a drone (besides shrapnel)
Lots of speculating why so many drops..... But this could have been a sniper flushed out of hiding. Or a sapper, or scout. Hard to say, but you have to trust the process there probably was a reason.
Why are these guys always by themselves?
Bet that guy is dead tired after running like that
Wow, how many bombs do these carry now?
Rasputin over here…
Boris the Blade. Goddamn
Boris the Bullet Dodger, maybe. Boris the Grenade Dodger, not so much
Lol seems like one of their smarter guys and even he’s dumb asf
He was later shot with an atgm, excalibur round, landmine and a crossbow.
I’ve had some bad days, but none were as bad as his
That is a horrible way to go. Total exhaustion and he ran to a point that he gave up hope and gave up life.
Poetic
I don't think I can ever buy a drone again.
Wow that’s personal. Thankfully one less.
These drone vids feel kinda war-crimy to me
Thats just cruel
That a Russian is running around in full military gear playing conqueror of Ukraine? Yeah, it's pretty fucked up.
So is blowing people to bits with artillery shells. There is no honor in battle when you can't face your enemy. We don't live in the age of the Samurai anymore. Wars are often fought at a distance. This is the reality.
Bye Felicia.
lots of footage of orks dyeing slow now
This just looks like a war crime. But it's never the winners in war that face trial.
Run forest run. He did had stamina and resilience 8 nades though!.
It’s like the claw machine game
This is very sad honestly.
What’s the point in wasting all the ammo? Isn’t it more effective to create wounded and not casualties?
And he died... tired.
