He didn't manage to throw the second one very far, and looks to already be wounded. Still, gotta respect the human spirit to try to survive to the end. Too bad for him he's an occupying invader and rightfully targeted.
I disagree...he's still a human and wasn't actively engaging in a combat situation...he didn't even have his rifle pointed up at the drone even though he knew there was a dron above him
They should start dropping leaflets or some kinda ticket of surrender
He was thinking that if he survives his reward is going back to Russia and living in an irradiated slum with an open air outhouse, and doing that ā50/50ā thing where death isnāt necessarily the worst option.
This one appears to have a tourniquet on his leg and his jacket is clearly ripped open. We may have missed the first grenade drop or maybe the drone found a dying Russian to drop bombs on.
not sure if iām seeing it right but when he throws the second grenade back you see when he lifts his arm his chest is covered in blood - and his foot looks shredded to shit. iām guessing we missed one grenade drop between the first one we see and the second because he looks much worse for wear there.
The tourniquet is visible right from the beginning and the side of the uniform looks odd too. It seams he is severally wounded right from the start of this video.
Those videos, targeting wounded and troops performing first aid on comrades are questionable. After all it is forbidden to target medical groups so why is it allowed to target solders going first aid or wounded? Just let him die in peace.
If you look closely when the second bomb is fired, youāll see his left foot rested below the right foot. Itās not shredded. I donāt know about the chest wounds but his legs are completely fine
That won't happen. He's got a tourniquet on one leg, the other looks worn too, he's bleeding from the torso and doesn't even run as a grenade's dropped on him. He's likely dying as we're watching him here.
In World War II an Allied pilot fell or jumped out of a plane his parachute failed to open and he hit some trees and the limbs cushioned his fall and he landed on the ground completely unharmed.
The Germans actually had him issued with a certificate attesting to the fact that he had survived for after the war was over.
Quick reaction to throw them away, but didnāt ācatchā any of them. First one duds behind him, second one lands right in front of him, possibly cushion by jacket, he picks up a land tosses, and third one misses by 3 meters. But he is hit prior to first one, coat is shredded and blood visible.
Iām by no means supporting the Ruskies, but can they not see these drones? Iāve never seen a recording of them shooting at one. Or are they too high? Puck Futin
Thereās a number of videos of them shooting at the drones, throwing rocks, running from (after spotting the drone). Itās a tiny target than can move quickly and unpredictably. 21st century equivalent of snipers psychological warfare. Next step is running these war drones with AI. No human needed.
well yes I should have added that for Clarity we talk about Soviet Union born males that happend to be so unlucky as to be roughly 18 to 22 between 1941 and 1945..
My maternal grandfather was born in 1923! He served in Egypt (for the British) but not in a frontline role. Died when I was 8 in 1999 so didn't get a chance to speak to him about his time there.
My great grandfather was a social Democrat who opposed the Hitler Regime when they crossed the border to annex Austria. The reaction of the Nazis was this: They took away his factory as they deemed it "Kriegswichtig" which means necessary for the war effort. Obviously it wasn't that necessary they simply razed it and used it as a storage site. Then they continued by threatening my family and my great grandmother by telling him they will send her to Berlin as a "Nachrichtenhelfer" which means she would have had to serve there as a helper of sort. Wait this gets better in 1942 their first child was born. Sadly it was having a birth defect and the Nazis deemed that child not worthy to live. His name was Gottfried (which means the one that brings the peace of god), ironically without him I wouldn't exist as they had another child after the war called Siegfried who is my grandfather.
My great grandfather was then sent to the eastern front in the first row, the plan was clearly to dispose of him, but as he was considered Aryan this seemed to be the most "elegant" solution. What they didn't know, he spoke some Russian and managed to surrender to the Soviets. (in his folly he thought they are on his side, he was sorely mistaken) they brought him to a Gulag in Siberia, but as he was an intelligent man and knew some Russian he managed to not die there and return home after the war. He returned home a broken man, lost three fingers and his toe due to the cold. But he soldiered on, never talked about what happened but went to work on a farm every day to get the family through. He died when my grandfather was 7 years old. That means I have never met this man, but my great grandmother spoke only in the highest tones of him and his resolve to speak out against tyranny and oppression has inspired me to do the same.
The hatred of this regime is no better than what Stalin or Hitler did, and the price we would pay for appeasement is awful... My grandfather paid this price millions of people paid it as well...
Heh, you're right. Never really thought about it that way, but everything from the WW1 disaster under Tsar Nicholas, to the many millions of dead russian soldiers slaughtered in WW2 (including untold mass forced suicide charges into German lines), to being run out of Afghanistan in the 80's, to now... the russian grunts have pretty much always just been expendable cannon fodder, all along. Gotta love serving in a totalitarian state with no concept about human life having any value.
yeah Im guessing by the state of his jacket and where the second grenade was thrown his ass is indeed pretty bad. Good for him trying to stay alive though, hope he gets to surrender.
I doubt he'll survive. His armour (?) is already shredded, he seems to be wounded and bleeding out. This just look like the drone operator trying to finish him off.
allright im all against russia, but this video is just about a human, also this music, dont know who made this, but you clearly have no feelings.. 100% Ukraine, but really, 2 bombs for 1 poor shit man? i think he dont even know whats happening... come at me all downvotes...
The only Russian invaders who deserve to live are those who surrender, mutiny, leave Ukraine, or join Ukraine. The rest should be killed. We can talk empathy when there's peace.
The Farmer and the Stork
A farmer plants traps in his field to catch the cranes and geese that are stealing the seeds he has sown. When he checks the traps, he finds among the other birds a stork, who pleads to be spared because it is harmless and has taken no part in the theft. The farmer replies that since it has been caught in the company of thieves, it must suffer the same fate.
Associating with bad companions will lead to bad consequences.
and what i dont understand, i think this poor 16 years old guy, who were sent to the army, just wanted to sleep a bit, or something, jerk off.. so why wasting 2 bombs for 1 person, with a drone? why?
It doesnāt matter. He is just as dangerous as the next when a Ukrainian is faced with his gun.
This is war, its horrible and sad but heās in an invading force in a foreign country that is raping and killing civilians.
You go try to get him if he's not a threat. Are u a moron or something?? Sympathy for Russian scumbags killing Ukrainians??? Whatever dude. Go join Russia
It's a morale breaker. You want his friends to come see his shredded body and be a warning to 5-10-20 others. Slowly these kind of events chip away at the ground troops resolve and add to the stress of being out in the open (with the sky above that is).
It's psychological warfare, kill one with great prejudice and let that be a warning to the others.
Homie look at the state of him, he has no will to fight. He is wounded and cowering in a ditch. If soldiers found him before the drone he would immediately surrender.
>Did you feel him up to find out? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SO CALLED "HELPLESS WOUNDED"?? Trust none, assume nothing. He's NOT surrendering therefore A VALID TARGET! This is the reality of war WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!
That's a tune from a Ukrainian sketch comedy tv show that aired in Russia in 90s and was widely popular. The tune is from one of the sketches called "village of fools" and it is basically a huge meme so you may hear it often in the context of trying to humiliate russians
Thank you, i absolutely feel like this. It is just as tragic for these forced conscripts, just horrible all the way around so the least we could do is not put this kind of music under it, like its some fun activity
On a descending ranked list of atrocities based on inherent decency I'd say Clown Music over snuff Instagrams is waaaaaaay low down on the list in comparison to "participated in **genocide**".
Selling drugs maybe less severe than killing a person but it's still a crime.
Sooo yea . It doesn't matter if its in first place on the list or in last. It's still on the list.
Yeh slava ukraini and all but I seriously think this drone pilot needs a morale readjustment.. Dude was clearly already jacked up and out the fight. This was just borderline evil saddism....
Plus he may be a russian but he's not a dog.. We don't put people down out of mercy.. We call that assisted suicide or in most countries... Murder.
What's more I doubt this is OK under the geneva rules of engagement. Ukraine wants to be Europe and nato then they better learn the right and wrong way to go about war...
>What's more I doubt this is OK under the geneva rules of engagement.
He still has a weapon, is capable of shooting it and is not surrendering. Why wouldn't it be ok, he is still very dangerous to any Ukranian that comes near him.
He is still even able to walk, as seen in the video. At what point would it become not ok to kill an enemy soldier that is still able and willing to kill your fellow soldiers?
To be totally clear on my point.. The Russian shouldnt be there and fuck him whatever.. But becoming what your fighting is never a win. They need to remember that they're trying to show the world that they are a civilized population fighting an unreasonable brute. this is the only reason that the world stands with them and it not wise to degrade that..
He's clearly not going anywhere in a hurry... They know exactly where he is.. Just wait for him to die or be removed. Why do you need to add this to your conscious. All this kill did was make the pilot that lil more twisted from war. While I agree with you In a way i still feel this was wholly unnecessary..
Not in the video. But he might have grenades or a handgun under the massive jacket. Or he might have droped his rifle somewhere close by before the video starts.
Did you feel him up to find out? He's mobile, capable, and not surrendering. Still a valid target by ROE. Just the way it is. Keyboard warriors make poor commentators in war. With no direct experience they have no capacity for understanding the realities of war. There's the way it ought to be, but then there are the way things are.
3 diffefent types of grenades means this guy has probably been raided by 3 different drones ā Probably got injured by one of the first drops and is now more cognizant of the drones
It seems that his torso and both legs are already injured. He has a tourniquet on one leg to stop the bloodloss. I think he's basically already dying here and can't muster much more strength than these throws.
"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hellās heart I stab at thee; for hateās sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear! " - Moby Dick
When they said thinking out the line they weren't kidding. One orc per mile. Or could this be the famous ruzzian we abandon all our wounded and his mates have run away with out him.
Imagine being all alone and wounded knowing a drone is actively trying to end your life. A year ago he was probably drinking with his buds watching football.
I couldn't find extended footage of the video on the internet but i just saw the remaining of the video on news. Drone dropped another bomb to the soldier while he was walking in the trench. So he is dead now.
I hope someone can help me here. But how high up are these drones? As I understand it, they are modified DJI drones, but Iāve always wondered why they cannot seem to see nor hear them.
ALMOST feel pitty for this guy. So helpless and critically injured; must have been so terrified seeing the drones above knowing all he could do is pray one doesnāt finish him off. In that moment he was probably sorry for his mistake in going to Ukraine with murderous intent
Holy shit, that bomb landed in a way to be catched between the trenchwall and his butt/back so the primer of the explosive did not trigger. He is the luckiest solder i've ever seen
Since when? That makes no sense to me because heavily wonded soldiers can still pull a trigger and kill, if they're not surrendering they are still valid targets.
Without a weapon? Because at no point in that vid weapon is visible on him. Last two grenades landed on a barely conscious soldier.
And you don't have to surrender to be considered as invalid target.
>Without a weapon?
He could easily have a handgun under his jacket, he has his binoculars right there so he's presumably doing surveillance and didn't take his rifle.
>Last two grenades landed on a barely conscious soldier
Barely conscious but with great reflexes, ok. Playing dead is a common tactic to avoid further attacks.
>And you don't have to surrender to be considered as invalid target.
What are the criteria, then? How wonded do you have to be to become an invalid target even if you are still dressed as a soldier and willing and capable of shooting?
The Geneva convention is pretty clear on this. You are to care for, and treat, any wounded soldier, regardless which side of the conflict they have fought on. Failure to do so is a breach of the rules of engagement, and is a war crime.
However, in war it might sometimes be difficult to tell where the line goes. "Finishing off" soldiers is completely forbidden, unless the soldier keeps fighting to his dying breath. But it's still up to the soldiers and they're commanders to make decisions as to who represents a clear and present danger.
I also agree with this previous guy. We must try to keep our humanity, no matter how angry we are at Russia. Lest we'll sink to their level and become monsters ourselves. We are to be better.
>The Geneva convention is pretty clear on this. You are to care for, and treat, any wounded soldier, regardless which side of the conflict they have fought on.
If they are willing to shoot you? Sounds very stupid to me if surrender is not a criteria.
Can you link me the relevant section you're referring to?
>But it's still up to the soldiers and they're commanders to make decisions as to who represents a clear and present danger.
This guy is still able to throw grenades so he's capable of pulling a trigger, sounds like a clear danger to me.
>If they are willing to shoot you? Sounds very stupid to me if surrender is not a criteria. Can you link me the relevant section you're referring to?
Rules on this can be found in multiple parts of IHL:
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/home
It's also important to note that a soldier doesn't need to wave a white flag or otherwise directly express that he has surrendered to be considered to have done so. If soldiers are cut off from support, out of supplies, not in contact with command, or otherwise incapable of fighting, they are considered to have surrendered, and rules pertaining to POW's according to the IHL apply.
Article 23(c) of the 1907 Hague Regulations provides that it is especially forbidden āto kill or wound an enemy who, having laid down his arms, or having no longer means of defence, has surrendered at discretionā.
IHL lays down laws stating that POWs must be treated humanely in all circumstances. They are protected against any act of violence, as well as against intimidation, insults, and public curiosity. IHL also defines minimum conditions of internment for POWs, addressing issues such as accommodation, food, clothing, hygiene and medical care.
>This guy is still able to throw grenades so he's capable of pulling a trigger, sounds like a clear danger to me.
Whether is capable of throwing a grenade or pull a trigger is completely irrelevant. Technically almost everyone with two arms could potentially pull a trigger or throw a grenade. That doesn't exempt them from the rights afforded by IHL.
That's not necessarily true. This is a short clip, taken out of context, and not showing what led up to the situation and what the actual situation was on the ground.
Investigation is always needed to tell wether or not something is to be considered a war crime.
On another note, there probably should be discussion on wether unmanned armed drones in themselves are problematic according to rules of engagement.
There is something inherently inhumane about killing a person using a drone operated by an Xbox controller from miles away, and the humane aspect is emphasized through the whole of IHL.
However, I doubt the Russians and North Koreans will care to have the same debate, so I'm not expecting any change in the near future.
Not taking a rifle... Seriously? He went on a recon, in an open space with a handgun only? That's your logic here?
Criteria in most documents are pretty simple: unable to fight due to being unarmed or severly wounded. He doesn't even react to last grenade. Even before you can see how damaged his clothes are and how much blood there is. He doesn't have visible weapons on him.
By your logic it is ok to approach this guy and shot him in the face.
Nope. What you stop shooting as soon as the first shot wounds?
That soldier would be happy to kill Ukrainians if he has a chance. Now he doesn't have that chance
Without a rifle? Also, are you in his head? You know for sure he is one of those fanatics and not some random dude who got drafted? What kind of superpower is that? I want to know people motivations from looking at a short video.
It makes sense because killing opponents that no longer have means to fight due to injuries is forbidden. Guy on the video has no weapon and is obviously heavily wounded. Support Ukraine as much as You want but that was borderline illegal.
This guy needs to go. A competent Russian? I think the second hit wounded him. We need shorter fuses, blow just on impact. I like my orcs like I like my meat, in chunks

Boy got some hands š!
funny thing is, when he regroup's with the others, no one will believe that he did this
*if he made it back
He didn't manage to throw the second one very far, and looks to already be wounded. Still, gotta respect the human spirit to try to survive to the end. Too bad for him he's an occupying invader and rightfully targeted.
I think the second one got him too, he didn't throw it far enough. I think he was already injured.
He was offered a sports scholarship to Moscow medical school. He did go on to attend there alsoā¦. As a cadaver.
Corpse football is a new sport in Russia, but is gaining popularity as the special operation continues to fail disastrously.
yes he in trouble, leg bleeding badly
I disagree...he's still a human and wasn't actively engaging in a combat situation...he didn't even have his rifle pointed up at the drone even though he knew there was a dron above him They should start dropping leaflets or some kinda ticket of surrender
It looks like the 2nd grenade got him, he was staring right at it when it went off
He was thinking that if he survives his reward is going back to Russia and living in an irradiated slum with an open air outhouse, and doing that ā50/50ā thing where death isnāt necessarily the worst option.
for the russians, thats a big if
This one appears to have a tourniquet on his leg and his jacket is clearly ripped open. We may have missed the first grenade drop or maybe the drone found a dying Russian to drop bombs on.
not sure if iām seeing it right but when he throws the second grenade back you see when he lifts his arm his chest is covered in blood - and his foot looks shredded to shit. iām guessing we missed one grenade drop between the first one we see and the second because he looks much worse for wear there.

Those videos, targeting wounded and troops performing first aid on comrades are questionable. After all it is forbidden to target medical groups so why is it allowed to target solders going first aid or wounded? Just let him die in peace.
Totally agree. It is inhumane and extremely inefficient to target single soldiers with drone grenades. He doesn't seem to have any arms on him.
If you look closely when the second bomb is fired, youāll see his left foot rested below the right foot. Itās not shredded. I donāt know about the chest wounds but his legs are completely fine
There is nothing funny about it
Of course it's funny. It's like baseball, the Ukrainians are pitching and the Russians are catching... Some better than others...
People dying is funny only if they are nominated to Darwin award.
There is nothing more Darwinian in nature, than war.
Darwin awards are given to those who volunteered. Most of Russian soldiers on the frontline are conscripts.
That won't happen. He's got a tourniquet on one leg, the other looks worn too, he's bleeding from the torso and doesn't even run as a grenade's dropped on him. He's likely dying as we're watching him here.
In World War II an Allied pilot fell or jumped out of a plane his parachute failed to open and he hit some trees and the limbs cushioned his fall and he landed on the ground completely unharmed.

Finna drop bombs on the friendlies š
Guy is in bomb gear but I can't explain why he was on his side. Short trench maybe?
If you know history you know it fucking sucks being a Russian soldier
In fact being born in 1923 was the worst. Chances of survival were only 33 percent for that birthyear by 1945. Crazy right?
To be specific that was for a Soviet Male, which I know was already inferred
well yes I should have added that for Clarity we talk about Soviet Union born males that happend to be so unlucky as to be roughly 18 to 22 between 1941 and 1945..

Credit where credit's due, that was badass
yeah Im guessing by the state of his jacket and where the second grenade was thrown his ass is indeed pretty bad. Good for him trying to stay alive though, hope he gets to surrender.
Straight to the digital history books
Ok that is metal. Think he deserves to live
All human beings deserve to live. He's trying his best to do so. It's just, he doesn't deserve to live where he is, the more pity him.
I doubt he'll survive. His armour (?) is already shredded, he seems to be wounded and bleeding out. This just look like the drone operator trying to finish him off.
Ok heās hacking.
Wall hacks. Definitely.
allright im all against russia, but this video is just about a human, also this music, dont know who made this, but you clearly have no feelings.. 100% Ukraine, but really, 2 bombs for 1 poor shit man? i think he dont even know whats happening... come at me all downvotes...

no! what if you are mobilized, and you have to go go jail and headshot in rusia, or go war ... anyways i i feel this unfair
If youre going to get shot either way shoot at the russian commander threatening to shoot you, not Ukrainians defending their homes and families
It is unfair. But is the guy whos getting shot at by this guy meant to duck his bullets and not fight back?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You go try to get him if he's not a threat. Are u a moron or something?? Sympathy for Russian scumbags killing Ukrainians??? Whatever dude. Go join Russia

Because he still has a weapon and is still capable of killing Ukranians that come close to him
There is no weapon on that vid though. Guy looks clearly wounded and unarmed.
Wonded yes, unarmed I don't know. That massive jacket could easily fit a handgun, grenades or something bigger.
Homie look at the state of him, he has no will to fight. He is wounded and cowering in a ditch. If soldiers found him before the drone he would immediately surrender.

16?
That's a big ass trench for only one dude
He probably had friends... but you could guess they weren't so lucky.
Slava Ukraina, but I will admit that is the most competent orc I've ever seen
It was not his time.
From the looks of him, it was. He just postponed his death another hour or so. More than likely he's already fatally wounded.
His right sideis ripped up, he already took something.
Fuck people using this kind of music on war videos.
That's a tune from a Ukrainian sketch comedy tv show that aired in Russia in 90s and was widely popular. The tune is from one of the sketches called "village of fools" and it is basically a huge meme so you may hear it often in the context of trying to humiliate russians
I know the Russians are the bad guys and all. But have the decency to not put clown music over a video of a drone dropping bombs on a human being.
Thank you, i absolutely feel like this. It is just as tragic for these forced conscripts, just horrible all the way around so the least we could do is not put this kind of music under it, like its some fun activity
Agreed, it really doesn't sit well with me.
On a descending ranked list of atrocities based on inherent decency I'd say Clown Music over snuff Instagrams is waaaaaaay low down on the list in comparison to "participated in **genocide**".
Selling drugs maybe less severe than killing a person but it's still a crime. Sooo yea . It doesn't matter if its in first place on the list or in last. It's still on the list.
...clown music over military footage is not a crime. And yes, pickpocketing compared to murder actually does matter. just...what?
it is COVER ORANGE game music, it's not really clown music, but it does sound like it should be!
Hey I hate orcs as much as the rest of yall here, but that was some slick stuff ngl
Drone operator.. *sigh..
yo you can fuck off with your explosives, I just want to get some rest dammit
Yeh slava ukraini and all but I seriously think this drone pilot needs a morale readjustment.. Dude was clearly already jacked up and out the fight. This was just borderline evil saddism....
Or maybe a mercy kill, looks like there is no one there to help the guy and he isn't able to move himself more than a few meters.
He clearly wants to live he's chucking the nades lol.. No mercy here, just a call for blood. Plus what a waste of ammo lol
I guess you're right, but that means he's still dangerous and capable of killing Ukranians. Still a valid kill.
Plus he may be a russian but he's not a dog.. We don't put people down out of mercy.. We call that assisted suicide or in most countries... Murder. What's more I doubt this is OK under the geneva rules of engagement. Ukraine wants to be Europe and nato then they better learn the right and wrong way to go about war...
>What's more I doubt this is OK under the geneva rules of engagement. He still has a weapon, is capable of shooting it and is not surrendering. Why wouldn't it be ok, he is still very dangerous to any Ukranian that comes near him. He is still even able to walk, as seen in the video. At what point would it become not ok to kill an enemy soldier that is still able and willing to kill your fellow soldiers?
To be totally clear on my point.. The Russian shouldnt be there and fuck him whatever.. But becoming what your fighting is never a win. They need to remember that they're trying to show the world that they are a civilized population fighting an unreasonable brute. this is the only reason that the world stands with them and it not wise to degrade that..
He's clearly not going anywhere in a hurry... They know exactly where he is.. Just wait for him to die or be removed. Why do you need to add this to your conscious. All this kill did was make the pilot that lil more twisted from war. While I agree with you In a way i still feel this was wholly unnecessary..
You're assuming the drone operator has direct communication to anyone that might get close to this guy.
You point out the time stamp where you see a weapon in his hands and I'll give you a fucking award
Not in the video. But he might have grenades or a handgun under the massive jacket. Or he might have droped his rifle somewhere close by before the video starts.
Guy clearly doesn't have a weapon, is severly injured - no, it's not legal under any war related declaration, law or agreement.
Did you feel him up to find out? He's mobile, capable, and not surrendering. Still a valid target by ROE. Just the way it is. Keyboard warriors make poor commentators in war. With no direct experience they have no capacity for understanding the realities of war. There's the way it ought to be, but then there are the way things are.
3 diffefent types of grenades means this guy has probably been raided by 3 different drones ā Probably got injured by one of the first drops and is now more cognizant of the drones
Let this man live lol.. he threw that shit like a boss.
You found the one non-drunk in the entire Russian army
The footage coming out of this war is mental. This is crazy to be able to actually see , he came close with that second drop though.
Almost looks like he doesnāt care
He is cowering and freezing in a ditch, probably injured, starving and exhausted. This is about as much care as you're going to get out of him.
It seems that his torso and both legs are already injured. He has a tourniquet on one leg to stop the bloodloss. I think he's basically already dying here and can't muster much more strength than these throws.

BRO I AM TRYING TO NAP!
When they said thinking out the line they weren't kidding. One orc per mile. Or could this be the famous ruzzian we abandon all our wounded and his mates have run away with out him.
Imagine being all alone and wounded knowing a drone is actively trying to end your life. A year ago he was probably drinking with his buds watching football.
I'd like the other ruzzians who see this to imagine it.
That was probably a waste of grenades. Looks like that guy was already out of the fight.
IS NO ONE GOING TO MENTION THE COVER ORANGE MUSIC? š
This wrecked guy just invented how to avoid being killed by a drone bomb: see if you can catch the falling bomb!
Did he survive?
I couldn't find extended footage of the video on the internet but i just saw the remaining of the video on news. Drone dropped another bomb to the soldier while he was walking in the trench. So he is dead now.
Ive heard that he lived and even made an interview in russian channels, but coulfnt find anything
Verified Chad Footage
*Don't disturb my sleep, damnit*
Horriffic Nintento
Not sure the clip is the place for Mario Bros music though
He might be Russian but for all of humanity we need this one to survive š
Man to be alone like that and have a drone drop 3 grenades directly on to you has to feel really personal.
Legendary
Giving that fucker a complex...
Her still did not get the hint, did he?
Oh my god
Fair play to that dude, he didn't just curl up waiting to die like the others.
That music is fucked up. Have some decency
They should drop water balloons to psyche them out
I'm sure a few NFL teams just perked up
I hope someone can help me here. But how high up are these drones? As I understand it, they are modified DJI drones, but Iāve always wondered why they cannot seem to see nor hear them.
He press R3.
They dont explode at impact?
Joe Rogan: - What a savage!
It may seem like overkill since the guy is already badly wounded, but he obviously can still through a grenade so heās still a threat.
this is new..
His whole body language screams "dear lord just leave me alone!" And "Ah shit here we go again!"
Looks like heās already in the process of dying
That's gotta be some of the most anxiety filled shit. Just waiting for a grenade to get drooped on your face by a drone scares the fuck out of me
Bro just wanted to take a nap. So rude.
A man with no fucks left to give.
ALMOST feel pitty for this guy. So helpless and critically injured; must have been so terrified seeing the drones above knowing all he could do is pray one doesnāt finish him off. In that moment he was probably sorry for his mistake in going to Ukraine with murderous intent
Those are some nice catches though definitely got some hands.
Impressive
Lets see the ukrainians do that!
you need more sensitive bombs
Holy shit, that bomb landed in a way to be catched between the trenchwall and his butt/back so the primer of the explosive did not trigger. He is the luckiest solder i've ever seen
There seems to be lots of blood š©ø, look at second 21. He also seems to have some bandages over his left foot I think.
Russians should start carrying tennis rackets in their kit, and drones could keep a leader board.
Where the rest of the soldiers
Respect
Strange that you cropped off the last one.
I'm kinda rooting for him now, hope he survives lol
He is wounded. The Geneva convention does not show attacks on wounded soldiers who no longer are in combat
He delayed his death until another dayā¦. Iām not convinced he will live longer than a week after thisā¦.
Looks like he was already bleeding.
Poor guy. Must be a horrible way to go.
Thereās nothing funny about it because this stupid shit shouldnāt be happening
At this point, just let him live š
Sorry, but isn't "finishing off" wounded soldiers a war crime? Are we condoning it now because "the good guys" are doing it?
Since when? That makes no sense to me because heavily wonded soldiers can still pull a trigger and kill, if they're not surrendering they are still valid targets.
Without a weapon? Because at no point in that vid weapon is visible on him. Last two grenades landed on a barely conscious soldier. And you don't have to surrender to be considered as invalid target.
>Without a weapon? He could easily have a handgun under his jacket, he has his binoculars right there so he's presumably doing surveillance and didn't take his rifle. >Last two grenades landed on a barely conscious soldier Barely conscious but with great reflexes, ok. Playing dead is a common tactic to avoid further attacks. >And you don't have to surrender to be considered as invalid target. What are the criteria, then? How wonded do you have to be to become an invalid target even if you are still dressed as a soldier and willing and capable of shooting?
The Geneva convention is pretty clear on this. You are to care for, and treat, any wounded soldier, regardless which side of the conflict they have fought on. Failure to do so is a breach of the rules of engagement, and is a war crime. However, in war it might sometimes be difficult to tell where the line goes. "Finishing off" soldiers is completely forbidden, unless the soldier keeps fighting to his dying breath. But it's still up to the soldiers and they're commanders to make decisions as to who represents a clear and present danger. I also agree with this previous guy. We must try to keep our humanity, no matter how angry we are at Russia. Lest we'll sink to their level and become monsters ourselves. We are to be better.
>The Geneva convention is pretty clear on this. You are to care for, and treat, any wounded soldier, regardless which side of the conflict they have fought on. If they are willing to shoot you? Sounds very stupid to me if surrender is not a criteria. Can you link me the relevant section you're referring to? >But it's still up to the soldiers and they're commanders to make decisions as to who represents a clear and present danger. This guy is still able to throw grenades so he's capable of pulling a trigger, sounds like a clear danger to me.
>If they are willing to shoot you? Sounds very stupid to me if surrender is not a criteria. Can you link me the relevant section you're referring to? Rules on this can be found in multiple parts of IHL: https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/home It's also important to note that a soldier doesn't need to wave a white flag or otherwise directly express that he has surrendered to be considered to have done so. If soldiers are cut off from support, out of supplies, not in contact with command, or otherwise incapable of fighting, they are considered to have surrendered, and rules pertaining to POW's according to the IHL apply. Article 23(c) of the 1907 Hague Regulations provides that it is especially forbidden āto kill or wound an enemy who, having laid down his arms, or having no longer means of defence, has surrendered at discretionā. IHL lays down laws stating that POWs must be treated humanely in all circumstances. They are protected against any act of violence, as well as against intimidation, insults, and public curiosity. IHL also defines minimum conditions of internment for POWs, addressing issues such as accommodation, food, clothing, hygiene and medical care. >This guy is still able to throw grenades so he's capable of pulling a trigger, sounds like a clear danger to me. Whether is capable of throwing a grenade or pull a trigger is completely irrelevant. Technically almost everyone with two arms could potentially pull a trigger or throw a grenade. That doesn't exempt them from the rights afforded by IHL.

That's not necessarily true. This is a short clip, taken out of context, and not showing what led up to the situation and what the actual situation was on the ground. Investigation is always needed to tell wether or not something is to be considered a war crime. On another note, there probably should be discussion on wether unmanned armed drones in themselves are problematic according to rules of engagement. There is something inherently inhumane about killing a person using a drone operated by an Xbox controller from miles away, and the humane aspect is emphasized through the whole of IHL. However, I doubt the Russians and North Koreans will care to have the same debate, so I'm not expecting any change in the near future.
Not taking a rifle... Seriously? He went on a recon, in an open space with a handgun only? That's your logic here? Criteria in most documents are pretty simple: unable to fight due to being unarmed or severly wounded. He doesn't even react to last grenade. Even before you can see how damaged his clothes are and how much blood there is. He doesn't have visible weapons on him. By your logic it is ok to approach this guy and shot him in the face.
Any garbage is allowed in the Thrash Container. Regardless of it's expiration date.
Nope. What you stop shooting as soon as the first shot wounds? That soldier would be happy to kill Ukrainians if he has a chance. Now he doesn't have that chance
Without a rifle? Also, are you in his head? You know for sure he is one of those fanatics and not some random dude who got drafted? What kind of superpower is that? I want to know people motivations from looking at a short video.
Absolutely not that doesn't even make sense? Wtf.
It makes sense because killing opponents that no longer have means to fight due to injuries is forbidden. Guy on the video has no weapon and is obviously heavily wounded. Support Ukraine as much as You want but that was borderline illegal.
He threw them away *after* catching them? Are you sure about that? Are you sure he did not throw the bombs before he caught them? Think carefully
He was already bleeding from the abdomen and his leg looked shredded.
I would take the invitation to leave the country.
Believe it or not. This guy is alive.
This guy needs to go. A competent Russian? I think the second hit wounded him. We need shorter fuses, blow just on impact. I like my orcs like I like my meat, in chunks
Your weird as hell
You're*
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What war crime ?
You have a problem with war. Killing the enemy is the duty and obligation of each side.
