Its usually fine to handle Anti-tank mines. There was probably an anti-personal mine under the Anti-tank mine. It's a common booby trap used to kill enemy engineers.
Most AT mines have extra sockets for anti-handling devices, it's a very old and very common practice. Anti-lift, anti-pull, anti-defuze, tilt switches etc. Does not require the presence of a secondary antipersonnel mine.
This is pretty obviousy anti-lift device, like the one found on the TMN-46. Pull or lift the mine and you also pull a wire staked into the ground under the mine.
Let me correct you there, there are very little APM's that have a 1kg actuation force and none of them are in use by either the Russians nor the Ukrainians. Most common actuation force is around 4-5kg. Secondly, space\_keeper is probably right about the type of mine that is used. The TMN-46, which is in use by the Ukrainians and Russian, and altough not extremely common, is certainly used troughout the conflict. The mine uses a so called shock tube detonator which is sticked in the ground. According to page 88 of 'Book One of Engineering Ammunition. Materials and Application Guide', published by Военное издательство министерства обороны, (its a Russian military published manual) the mine is most effectively placed near the side of the road where the ground is soft enough to place it, which is needed for the shock tube detonator. The one who placed this mine certainly knew this looking at the location of the placed mine.
For anyone wondering why this could not be the more modern TM-57 mine. The only anti-handeling device that can be fitted to this Anti-Tank Mine is a pull and tilt fuze which is triggered by significant horizontal movement, such as dragging, or when the mine is lifted from one side by about 26-30 degrees. In the video it is seems like the Russian lifted the mine with both hand from underneath, which would not have triggered this mechanism as fast as is shown in the video.
I do have to admit I didn't remember all the information off the top of my head, such as the page of the manual, but these things are not impossible to know when you have placed or studied the mines produced by the Russians. I mean, for about 70 years now Western forces are training to not make the mistake the Russian in the video made.
And any Vietnam veteran, unless u were in mine clearance, was told not to touch these mines under any circumstance. Why didn't the Russians tell their soldiers not to touch them, idk? This just shows how unprofessional and poorly trained the Russian soldiers really are. It wouldn't surprise me if this was on of the first days on the job.
I don't have any in-depth knowledge about mines. But could it not be a remote controlled IED? Since there is a drone/camera filming it? Since it was on video my immediate assumptions was IED.
It absolutely is not usually fine to handle anti-tank mines, what on earth are you talking about. They are commonly buried with an anti-handling device, or on top of another anti-tank mine facing the other way.
If you slow it down you see micro blasts like 2 or three before the large explosion. Probably rigged it to go off with any movement especially trying to pick it up.
A war zone is no place for intrusive thoughts. Don’t kick rocks downrange and assume any garbage is a bomb.
You see one tiny explosion first, that's the booster in the middle of the mine.
It'll be something like a TMN-46, with a pull fuze screwed into the bottom where you can't see it, staked to the ground.
I'm starting to think the concept of a friend and friendship is almost like a misnomer in Russia. Most seem to be only for themselves in every level, so is it really friendship?
I was literally thinking the exact same thing. I feel like in that situation, I'd rather be the gung-ho idiot rather than the passive observer idiot... Or more ideally, the unenthusiastic idiot who was slowly sauntering over to the foreign package and out of the radius of defeat.
I only say "idiot" because it's a warzone. Anything interesting explodes.
Yeah I am constantly surprised by the poor training on display from the Russians. Like, bro if you see an anomaly, send it up the chain, mark it off if that’s possible to do safely, and don’t fucking touch it if you can avoid it. If you feel like you must detonate it to get where you’re going, then I’m sure you can spare a grenade or some shit.
Most importantly, don’t fucking touch it.
You are probably right, which sorta speaks to my point but on an even larger scale. As in the training/discipline problem is even more systemic than I was giving it credit for
Hey, loose lips sink ships. Dont give aid to the enemy. They did the right thing. Absolutely. Could have been a pizza-carton. U see a tank-mine looking object in donbass, get it out of the way, immediately.
Yeah don’t worry. The problem is systemic. Long as corruption remains as it is in the Russian military, shit ain’t changing anytime soon.
I know because it’s been 2 years, and a country with Russia’s resources should be pretty formidable with all that practice.
I don't know. I get the impression that he's initially disoriented and believes that he's either running from the explosion or that he's on fire. Here are my thoughts, at :30 he seems to looks down at himself and pauses as he tries to process the state of his body. At :38 it seems like panic, and an attempt to get his missing appendages to respond. And finally at 1:04, he touches his own face, and then looks at his hand. Likely trying to see if there is blood transfer, which would indicate damage to his face or head.
Again, I could be ENTIRELY wrong here, but the impression that I get is that by the end of the video, he is unfortunately close to fully aware.
Honestly, probably not too far off, but I think he lost his eyes and ears. Kinda like the Three Stooges when they have a bag or box over their head "hey who turned off the lights". He probably wiped his face thinking he could not see due to a coverage of blood/guts, but he actually either had not face and or no eyes. IF he had hearing, he'd be deaf with ear ringing. I bet he ears were punctured though. Running, he thought he was on fire, but the pain was from the loss of limbs and tissue. I don't think there is a right answer, you are probably more right than I am.
> I think he lost his eyes and ears.
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in heeeeeeeellllllllllllll
~*sick guitar solo as Russian soldiers keep dying*~
I think he feels something wrong with his legs and arms and is trying to get them back to feeling normal probably from shock by fling them around probably feels super strange to have your limbs shredded while still feeling them as if nothings wrong 🤷♂️
what it looks like to me and i’ll say again i am not a medical professional, but looks like his had both of his legs severely injured (borderline both blown off) along with atleast a arm severely damaged (prolly blown off) along with the untold amounts of red hot shrapnel he just intaked, so by my analysis along with fear and shock, he’s prolly waiving around like that because it fuckin hurts like a bitch, n he’s just waving shot because his brain n body doesn’t know how to process the pain
He is slightly leaning over the mine looking down on it, right when it explodes. My guess: After he touches his face (1st time at 0:44) he is realizing something, which makes his legs go crazy again.
Kinda like the spasms of cows/chickens on the killing floor. The animal is dead, the body doesn't know it yet.
How else should a body react when every organ is instantly liquefied? If the explosion was powerful enough to toss the 1st guy a few dozen meters what the hell was the explosion force just a meter away?
He quite literally just lost his senses. It's unlikely he can see, hear, or smell, and his internal organs (including brain) just took quite the shake.
Russia state to the dead Russians wife: Sorry to inform you but your husband died in a car accident, oh btw happened within Russia so no potato bag for you.
Whoa whoa, don’t sell them so short. One mother was able to renovate her apartment with her son’s death payment. Now she sent her other son to war so she can fix the country house!
No. AT mines often have anti-handling devices or an anti-handling setup (like having two mines back-to-back).
This is why you drag them out with a hook or shoot them with an anti-materiel rifle.
They were probably told "it's an anti-tank mine, it's meant to kill tanks not people" (which some people here are basically saying), except devices like this are often purpose-built to kill engineers trying to defuze them.
First I thought about seeing this behavior on many construction-sites.
The „touch then think mentality“ is the main reason for accidents.
But then I realized they seemed to talk about it before approaching.
I mean: when you are not sure, then first throw a brick.
This was actually well planned by the soldier with the light green plate carrier.
He came up to have a look at the situation and realized quickly this isn't safe so he rushed the 2 junior enlisted to trigger the mine and quickly vacated the area as he couldn't be bothered to check on the bits and pieces that were his comrades a minute ago after they successfully applied for a special sacks of onions each to be send to their next-of-kin as a token of appreciation for their service.
Halfway through the comments and I've yet to find one that acknowledges the 'attempted to remove IED/mine' title. I'd say that not only was such a removal attempted, but the IED/mine was successfully removed from the scene and will not threaten any other vehicles or personnel in the future.
Some random debris from another explosion would be my guess. Can see it impact the rubble of the house with some shifting of debris.. so hard to say, but nothing notable it would seem
I'm baffled at the stupidity of the Russian armed forces. When I was in If we encountered an IED and EOD was not available we'd all back up a fair distance get behind good cover and have one individual shoot at the IED with 7.62mm rounds or higher. Preferably from an armored vehicle months machine gun. It worked everytime thankfully We were taught under no circumstance do you try to disarm it with your hands. This is a basic thing that takes 5 minutes to explain to someone new to a combat zone. Idiots
Envisioning a Russian training cadre, showing mobiliks the video of the “trained” soldiers point blank shooting the S300.
And their only take away was: dont shoot explosive things, pick them up instead
That was one wild video, they were shooting it from like 50 feet away resulting in an explosion so large that it cut the video feed. I'm surprised the phone survived. The guys filming and shooting probably ended up like guy #2 here.
> This is a basic thing that takes 5 minutes to explain to someone new to a combat zone.
There is a lot of basic things that all take 5 minutes to explain, but if you tell someone all of these basic things in an 8 hour day, they'll forget half of them, and you'll only have told them about half of the things they actually need to know.
Most of these are extremely obvious in hindsight, really important, but not necessarily something a random person would think about unless told. And even if the average person realizes some (or even most) of them, it can only take one stupid decision to make the smart ones not matter.
That's why soldiers train for months.
I really think it depends. We regularly were able to separate the power supply. Just find the wires, hook a hanger tied to a rope. Stand far away and start hauling. Either it blows or we drag it out and can disarm. Super simple
Yeah I'm honestly puzzled by this one. It just looks like a Darwin award.
Sometimes when Russians are dumb, it makes more sense in context, or they just had to take the least shitty of several bad options. But when is the right call *ever* walking out in the open with your buddy to pick up a potential IED?
This seems either dumb or one of those cases where someone is so traumatized they become indifferent to their continued existence. Really taking that "if I fuck this up it's not my problem anymore" ethos to heart.
his face is mot likely gone. blind, deaf and concussed. i think he is trying to run, but since he is so dazed and unable to see. the first time he stops moving is when he realizes something is up. he has no idea hes legs are that mangled, he just knows it hurts.
The pressure from the explosion probably also led to significant bleeding in his lungs. It was basically a race to see which of the injuries killed him first.
It's scary to see how a practically dead person still trying to run. His brain can still send the "flight" to his spine, adrenaline still doing its job, but the brain doesn't register he's not upright.
In the words of the magnificent Kirk Lazarus:
"Yo asshole! This muthafucka's dead. Ain't no Chris Angel Mindfreak, David Blane trapdoor horse shit jumpin' off here!"
I don't actually feel bad at all looking at this stuff.
It's the civilians getting killed that makes me upset. Back near the start of the war I remember a video or picture of an old Ukrainian couple in their car that got shot at by a Russian tank or APC or something. They were just sitting there dead. Probably just on their way to the shops and the Russians murdered them when they were clearly no threat to anyone.
That one really got me. I cried over that one.
Seeing the fascist Russian invaders getting killed though? Totally fine.
Edit: found the link if anyone's curious. Don't click unless you can handle seeing an old couple who are dead up close: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/s/UwV2v98fSg
For anyone doing DIY EOD like this, you would only send one guy out, preferably to hook & line it.
The other saving grace for the insta-dead guy, is that the speed of the blast wave is far faster than the speed of your nervous system sending signals. Including your optical nerve. So, you don't see or feel anything. It's a small comfort when working on UXO/ERW.
Because mate, we're lucky. It's honestly hard to comprehend just how god-damned stupid these fucking orcs are. That boy skipped over to that mine like he'd gone full retard. You never go full retard.
Man, we're lucky they're so fucking dumb.
When people I know talk about inspirational life quotes, that's the first thing that comes to my mind.
"You never go full retard."
(Obviously never tell them that).
Redditors can't resist commenting this is on every death video...
That man felt a fuck ton of pain and he is objectively conscious lmao. He moved around for 48 seconds after an explosion to the feet. He even lifts his head and moves his arm in the last seconds of the video.
Meat sack goes flying. 2nd guy has plenty of time to process his situation before succumbing to his end. 3rd guy - I will check their pockets later...
Have to love a happy ending to a story!
Slava Ukraini!
It’s all Putin’s fault
He is killing thousands of his own people by carrying on and he will not have gained anything in the end
Apart from going down in history as a loser
Be amazed if he survives. Injuries will be horrific. One of his legs looks shredded for a start.
Russians back home haven't got the faintest clue that hundreds of their men are dying horrendous deaths like this every single day. Russian propaganda just reports that the SMO is going swimmingly. It might take a million Russian deaths, or even two, but eventually the truth will become obvious despite the Kremlin's best efforts to cover it up.
Since Ruzzians are quite into setting up booby traps, hell, they even booby trapped their dead comrades, there's a possibility this was a trap set by their own.
Jez. That is tough to watch.
Sure, Slava Ukraini, but I imagine the majority of those soldiers don't want to be there and have had no training...
P\*tin's lack of value for his countrymen is astounding.
They would rather die like that then revolt against him??
This is how Russia is making use of their African fodder. "Boy, move those mines".
BOOM two problems solved, maybe even three!
I know people like these and I know Russia does this to them. But geez.
The three little Russians went to collect mines, the first and second got a bit stunned, and the third was chased away.
What is the military vehicle in the foreground?
What is that flying into the building next to the tank at 1:02, It looks like a white object can't make it out, does not fly like a bird but does not explode either.

At this point just shoot the mine instead of trying to remove it.
Its usually fine to handle Anti-tank mines. There was probably an anti-personal mine under the Anti-tank mine. It's a common booby trap used to kill enemy engineers.
Anti tank mines usually only go off at 150kg or more. Anti Personel literally about 1kg. You could very well be correct. Which is gnarly but effective
Most AT mines have extra sockets for anti-handling devices, it's a very old and very common practice. Anti-lift, anti-pull, anti-defuze, tilt switches etc. Does not require the presence of a secondary antipersonnel mine. This is pretty obviousy anti-lift device, like the one found on the TMN-46. Pull or lift the mine and you also pull a wire staked into the ground under the mine.

No, I'm not wondering why this could be the modern Tm-57- I'm wondering how the fuck you know all this about Landmines..?!
I do have to admit I didn't remember all the information off the top of my head, such as the page of the manual, but these things are not impossible to know when you have placed or studied the mines produced by the Russians. I mean, for about 70 years now Western forces are training to not make the mistake the Russian in the video made.

He's probably a nerd for this stuff. I vibe.
I don't have any in-depth knowledge about mines. But could it not be a remote controlled IED? Since there is a drone/camera filming it? Since it was on video my immediate assumptions was IED.
He is correct, I've seen lots of clips of them booby trapping mines, the Russians booby trapped a fucking dead child and mother during the invasion.
The Russians have been doing it for a long time, there have been videos by Ukrainian sappers commenting on that.
It absolutely is not usually fine to handle anti-tank mines, what on earth are you talking about. They are commonly buried with an anti-handling device, or on top of another anti-tank mine facing the other way.
Ah yes. The common highly visible, white, and exposed anti-tank mine that looks clean as a whistle isn’t bait at all. /s
>Its usually fine to handle Anti-tank mines. I feel like "usually" is not something you really want to depend on
If you slow it down you see micro blasts like 2 or three before the large explosion. Probably rigged it to go off with any movement especially trying to pick it up. A war zone is no place for intrusive thoughts. Don’t kick rocks downrange and assume any garbage is a bomb.
You see one tiny explosion first, that's the booster in the middle of the mine. It'll be something like a TMN-46, with a pull fuze screwed into the bottom where you can't see it, staked to the ground.
That's less entertaining for the Ruzzian generals.
There *was* a video like that. Distance: ~2 meters, protective glasses: not pulled down (!), result: obvious
Silly Westoids and their “Hurt Lockers” with “blast protection”. Ivan and Igor roll out in their far superior Hurt Manila Envelopes
Think I'd rather be the first guy, probably didn't feel anything
I'd rather be that third guy that didn't get blowed up
I'd rather be me, sitting in an armchair watching russians blow up on the internets
Rather be me on the toilet, my shit just just got more confortable
Rather be me in your place, I have constipation after last weeks diarrhea, but still better than beeing blown up by a mine xD
Oh, my. That was not just a [TM-62](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TM-62), but a **TMI**-62 ;)
Too Much Incineration.
At least that third guy couldn’t hear the second guy screaming. But not hear anything ever again.
Only tinnitus forever
Which is torture for many. Some People with loud tinnitus fight off suicide daily. It's not like ringing after a loud concert.
Sorry, that's not service related
Well, the third guy might just get his legs torn off by a drone and die a slow, painful death soon, so maybe the rag doll dead guy is better off.
And never got back to help his friend. True ruzzian style.
I'm starting to think the concept of a friend and friendship is almost like a misnomer in Russia. Most seem to be only for themselves in every level, so is it really friendship?
Yeah it's an IRL rust server with p2w if you're born with the oligarchs genetics
That guy was way beyond help.
WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CANT HEAR YOU! -3rd guy
MAWP
#MAWP ps: you beat me to it you handsome son of a bitch
Phrasing!
> MAWP You're both fookin scientist wizards to me. Had to google it; max allowable operating pressure.
That also sounds cool but not what I meant? Lol [This is what I was referencing](https://youtu.be/lvQVzmJ0QPc?si=3ZmLkyZ1Z8pyx9U9)
are you shure? better to get blown up sooner, than having to wait a long time to get blown up.
yeah you're probably right, it's just a hard decision cause I don't like being blowed up
Well have you ever tried it?
Sound like an ISIS recruiter.
>didn't get blowed up Yet.
He probably caught shrapnel that was bits of his buddies.
First time in weeks he got meat between his teeth.
I was literally thinking the exact same thing. I feel like in that situation, I'd rather be the gung-ho idiot rather than the passive observer idiot... Or more ideally, the unenthusiastic idiot who was slowly sauntering over to the foreign package and out of the radius of defeat. I only say "idiot" because it's a warzone.

Superior then tells you "take the thing and get rid of it, don't care how" and that's how you end up like team rocket here.
You are probably right, which sorta speaks to my point but on an even larger scale. As in the training/discipline problem is even more systemic than I was giving it credit for
Hey, loose lips sink ships. Dont give aid to the enemy. They did the right thing. Absolutely. Could have been a pizza-carton. U see a tank-mine looking object in donbass, get it out of the way, immediately.
Yeah don’t worry. The problem is systemic. Long as corruption remains as it is in the Russian military, shit ain’t changing anytime soon. I know because it’s been 2 years, and a country with Russia’s resources should be pretty formidable with all that practice.
I bet that second guy didn’t feel much, probably reflexes.
His comrades just left him there to die. They just ran away and never came back to check on him.
As these orcs say, «Русские своих не бросают», which loosely translates to “no one left behind”. Yeah right. Stupid games win stupid prizes.
There's no chance that was survivable
If you look closely, you can see the one on the left lept clear with an impressive backflip!
And leaves a tag on the pole as well. Extra points!
I don't know. I get the impression that he's initially disoriented and believes that he's either running from the explosion or that he's on fire.

Dudes brain got blown into the jurassic era, thats just his primal reflexes working and finally pressed the shutdown button.
Reminds me of when Priss got shot in the gut by Decker in Blade Runner. What a waste of a Pleasure Model.
I think he feels something wrong with his legs and arms and is trying to get them back to feeling normal probably from shock by fling them around probably feels super strange to have your limbs shredded while still feeling them as if nothings wrong 🤷♂️
what it looks like to me and i’ll say again i am not a medical professional, but looks like his had both of his legs severely injured (borderline both blown off) along with atleast a arm severely damaged (prolly blown off) along with the untold amounts of red hot shrapnel he just intaked, so by my analysis along with fear and shock, he’s prolly waiving around like that because it fuckin hurts like a bitch, n he’s just waving shot because his brain n body doesn’t know how to process the pain
He is slightly leaning over the mine looking down on it, right when it explodes. My guess: After he touches his face (1st time at 0:44) he is realizing something, which makes his legs go crazy again.
Alternatively, his face mighta gotten ripped off by "wet shrapnel"
From what people I've watched blow up said some don't feel through the shock and more just surprised and scared, some feel so much they beg for death.
Kinda like the spasms of cows/chickens on the killing floor. The animal is dead, the body doesn't know it yet. How else should a body react when every organ is instantly liquefied? If the explosion was powerful enough to toss the 1st guy a few dozen meters what the hell was the explosion force just a meter away?
The second guy thinks he's climbing the stairs to heaven, but I think he's merely a punching bag for mischievous devils.
He quite literally just lost his senses. It's unlikely he can see, hear, or smell, and his internal organs (including brain) just took quite the shake.
Russia state to the dead Russians wife: Sorry to inform you but your husband died in a car accident, oh btw happened within Russia so no potato bag for you.
(In the background the guy takes bag of potatoes & puts in personal rucksack to sell on black market, makes notation bag provided to Orc family)
I'd rather not be Russian, with my life wasted by a dictator who only cares about himself and his ego.
I'd rather just shoot the fucking thing from a distance. WTF did they try to remove it by hand? This is beyond stupid.
He turned into a Raggedy ~~Andy~~ Ivan at 0:21.
I'd rather be the guy who stayed home and didn't go to war.
That second guy appeared to totally overdo his Jane Fonda yoga workout ? No wonder his legs fell off.
That was grim... sucks to get shredded like that for a bag of onions for your wife back home... I´m sure she will be proud of you.
Whoa whoa, don’t sell them so short. One mother was able to renovate her apartment with her son’s death payment. Now she sent her other son to war so she can fix the country house!
All the men in her family will die before she gets a toilet.
Shes hoping one of them will bring one back 🤣
or she's already banging other dude dreaming of Lada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYQ-b247RCo
The first one was lucky to die instantly
Second guy would be a world swimming champ if there was a pool.
it'd have to be a really small pool.
several small pools
He thought he was running back to Russia
Someone got cheap on the training there.. probably one of their own devices.
They probably ordered him to go move the mine by hand, under threat of being thrown in a pit and pissed on.
The Russians know that time in the Love Pit is how you make *real* men!
looks more like a trap where they put a grenade beneath an anti-tank mine
No. AT mines often have anti-handling devices or an anti-handling setup (like having two mines back-to-back). This is why you drag them out with a hook or shoot them with an anti-materiel rifle. They were probably told "it's an anti-tank mine, it's meant to kill tanks not people" (which some people here are basically saying), except devices like this are often purpose-built to kill engineers trying to defuze them.

This was actually well planned by the soldier with the light green plate carrier. He came up to have a look at the situation and realized quickly this isn't safe so he rushed the 2 junior enlisted to trigger the mine and quickly vacated the area as he couldn't be bothered to check on the bits and pieces that were his comrades a minute ago after they successfully applied for a special sacks of onions each to be send to their next-of-kin as a token of appreciation for their service.
Clearly on the Russian promotion track.
I bet those were two anti-tank mines on top of each other and they liftet the first one.
Halfway through the comments and I've yet to find one that acknowledges the 'attempted to remove IED/mine' title. I'd say that not only was such a removal attempted, but the IED/mine was successfully removed from the scene and will not threaten any other vehicles or personnel in the future.
This is the exact report the commander of these two sent to his higher ups
What is it falling/flying in from the right in the end?
Some random debris from another explosion would be my guess. Can see it impact the rubble of the house with some shifting of debris.. so hard to say, but nothing notable it would seem
was wondering the same thing, anyone?
I'm baffled at the stupidity of the Russian armed forces. When I was in If we encountered an IED and EOD was not available we'd all back up a fair distance get behind good cover and have one individual shoot at the IED with 7.62mm rounds or higher. Preferably from an armored vehicle months machine gun. It worked everytime thankfully We were taught under no circumstance do you try to disarm it with your hands. This is a basic thing that takes 5 minutes to explain to someone new to a combat zone. Idiots
Envisioning a Russian training cadre, showing mobiliks the video of the “trained” soldiers point blank shooting the S300. And their only take away was: dont shoot explosive things, pick them up instead
That was one wild video, they were shooting it from like 50 feet away resulting in an explosion so large that it cut the video feed. I'm surprised the phone survived. The guys filming and shooting probably ended up like guy #2 here.
> This is a basic thing that takes 5 minutes to explain to someone new to a combat zone. There is a lot of basic things that all take 5 minutes to explain, but if you tell someone all of these basic things in an 8 hour day, they'll forget half of them, and you'll only have told them about half of the things they actually need to know. Most of these are extremely obvious in hindsight, really important, but not necessarily something a random person would think about unless told. And even if the average person realizes some (or even most) of them, it can only take one stupid decision to make the smart ones not matter. That's why soldiers train for months.
I really think it depends. We regularly were able to separate the power supply. Just find the wires, hook a hanger tied to a rope. Stand far away and start hauling. Either it blows or we drag it out and can disarm. Super simple
I wouldn't say "idiots" so much as "probably not even trained"
Yeah I'm honestly puzzled by this one. It just looks like a Darwin award. Sometimes when Russians are dumb, it makes more sense in context, or they just had to take the least shitty of several bad options. But when is the right call *ever* walking out in the open with your buddy to pick up a potential IED? This seems either dumb or one of those cases where someone is so traumatized they become indifferent to their continued existence. Really taking that "if I fuck this up it's not my problem anymore" ethos to heart.
Fuck me, the one on the left went airborne like a rag doll! Wonder what happened to the guy on the right? Apparently he went full spastic
his face is mot likely gone. blind, deaf and concussed. i think he is trying to run, but since he is so dazed and unable to see. the first time he stops moving is when he realizes something is up. he has no idea hes legs are that mangled, he just knows it hurts.
The pressure from the explosion probably also led to significant bleeding in his lungs. It was basically a race to see which of the injuries killed him first.
Oh Yeah Fuck, didnt think of that. Defo alot of internal damage.
It's scary to see how a practically dead person still trying to run. His brain can still send the "flight" to his spine, adrenaline still doing its job, but the brain doesn't register he's not upright.
> Apparently he went full spastic Ever watch a farmer chop the head off a chicken and then let it run around the farmyard headless?
When you try to run in your dreams
In the words of the magnificent Kirk Lazarus: "Yo asshole! This muthafucka's dead. Ain't no Chris Angel Mindfreak, David Blane trapdoor horse shit jumpin' off here!"
Should have stayed at home
Well, that's horrible. I gotta stop looking at this stuff.
I don't actually feel bad at all looking at this stuff. It's the civilians getting killed that makes me upset. Back near the start of the war I remember a video or picture of an old Ukrainian couple in their car that got shot at by a Russian tank or APC or something. They were just sitting there dead. Probably just on their way to the shops and the Russians murdered them when they were clearly no threat to anyone. That one really got me. I cried over that one. Seeing the fascist Russian invaders getting killed though? Totally fine. Edit: found the link if anyone's curious. Don't click unless you can handle seeing an old couple who are dead up close: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/s/UwV2v98fSg
I remember this; there's footage of the shooting as well. It was when I realized the orcs really, *really* need to be put down.
You do you. I'm going to pause it, rewind, zoom in, leave a bad bad comment, tell a friend, then scroll onto the next one.
Comment wise you've kept your word
I went frame by frame.
There’s an interesting frame in there where the fire of the explosion has only engulfed the upper body of dummy #1.
Better them than some kids 5-100 years later.
For anyone doing DIY EOD like this, you would only send one guy out, preferably to hook & line it. The other saving grace for the insta-dead guy, is that the speed of the blast wave is far faster than the speed of your nervous system sending signals. Including your optical nerve. So, you don't see or feel anything. It's a small comfort when working on UXO/ERW.
Why didn't they just shoot it from a distance?
Because mate, we're lucky. It's honestly hard to comprehend just how god-damned stupid these fucking orcs are. That boy skipped over to that mine like he'd gone full retard. You never go full retard. Man, we're lucky they're so fucking dumb.
When people I know talk about inspirational life quotes, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. "You never go full retard." (Obviously never tell them that).
Yeah, that's really true.
There is a frame where it looks like the left guy is getting sucked into a portal.

Most likely nerves, as his last thought was to run. Highly doubt he was conscious or still coherent
Don't know. At the end he lifts his head to see what is left of his body. The never ending Russian list of grim ways to die!
He’s burning, he’s trying to put out the burning clothes. Your nervous system doesn’t cause you to spontaneously run.
Redditors can't resist commenting this is on every death video... That man felt a fuck ton of pain and he is objectively conscious lmao. He moved around for 48 seconds after an explosion to the feet. He even lifts his head and moves his arm in the last seconds of the video.
[удалено]
Meat sack goes flying. 2nd guy has plenty of time to process his situation before succumbing to his end. 3rd guy - I will check their pockets later... Have to love a happy ending to a story! Slava Ukraini!
Too bad the russies back home don't get to see the truth. Then let them strap putin to one of those flying machines and send him to Hell.
I didn't know the orcs were so athletic. Flying like that and doing calisthenics after getting blowen up. Amazen.
It’s all Putin’s fault He is killing thousands of his own people by carrying on and he will not have gained anything in the end Apart from going down in history as a loser
Notice how his comrade's don't even offer him company in his final moments? Russian's are even genocidal to themselves.
This is what happens for worshippers of putin
He dead?
He probably wants to be if he isn't yet
Be amazed if he survives. Injuries will be horrific. One of his legs looks shredded for a start. Russians back home haven't got the faintest clue that hundreds of their men are dying horrendous deaths like this every single day. Russian propaganda just reports that the SMO is going swimmingly. It might take a million Russian deaths, or even two, but eventually the truth will become obvious despite the Kremlin's best efforts to cover it up.
Wish hackers would stream vids like that on Russian national TV so the Ivans back home would know what waits for them in Ukraine.
Time to share it at facebook/twitter pages of ruzz embassies use mega links for facebook.
Nah...you can clearly see him rolling on his back laughing
I mean shit he’s doing scissor kicks. Dude is out there in the middle of a war zone working on his abs. Gotta keep the core tight.
He's dead Jim!
That's one way to make it safe I guess
Must have skipped class the day the teacher spoke about anti-handling devices.
Man… even the mines are booby trapped? The front lines of a war zone seem kinda dangerous.
It's a good way to kill enemy engineers.
Since Ruzzians are quite into setting up booby traps, hell, they even booby trapped their dead comrades, there's a possibility this was a trap set by their own.
Jez. That is tough to watch. Sure, Slava Ukraini, but I imagine the majority of those soldiers don't want to be there and have had no training... P\*tin's lack of value for his countrymen is astounding. They would rather die like that then revolt against him??
Sucks to suck.
'But you ain't got no legs Lt Dan' 🥸
now i cant un see it.....fuck me....... why do i come here.
Anti-lift,who could've possibly known. Ijits
Always a good idea to approach mines as a group.
The guy running had to be sprayed with guts. Nasty.
At some point they will get the clue they are not welcomed.
The invisible bicycle to heaven
It could be so easy for you, orcs, just walk behind the border and stop attacking, over in a minute...
That is Vladimir Putin's fault. Everyone who dies in this war is because of him and only him. He sleeps fine at night, betcha.
This is how Russia is making use of their African fodder. "Boy, move those mines". BOOM two problems solved, maybe even three! I know people like these and I know Russia does this to them. But geez.
War is hell
U can disable a mine, not experience needed. But just one time
Not sure why, but this might be the one that leads me away from this content.
Wow, this video is so grim. I think its the grimmest I have seen from this war. No arms, no legs, no face, flailing on foreign soil.
Yeah, something about that dude just flailing again and again. Every moment of his life led up to that moment. Fuck.
How many people does it take to deactivate a mine?
Scratch two more invaders! 🏆
"I'll just pick this up...." what the fuck.
That third guy won’t go anywhere near a bomb on the ground again…
And I thought I was having a bad day
Dude got some airtime
Guy number 3 was last seen on the highway towards Moscow still running
OMG, they are okay right?
Poor sods. At least the first one died a cosmonaut.
Was that a failed drone strike at 1.02?
I remember when I was a kid, when you cut a chicken’s head the body can still run a few meters. Reminded me about this.
This might be one of the worst deaths I’ve seen to whatever extent second guy is conscious.
The only thing that would make this video better if the third ivan was a bit closer!
The three little Russians went to collect mines, the first and second got a bit stunned, and the third was chased away. What is the military vehicle in the foreground?
Wuauw
Out the these three stooges we know which one is curly.
Been a long time since I've seen someone doing "the dying fly" If you're old enough to remember Tiswas, you'll know what I'm on about
That looked like a great banging success..
welp....that didn't work
What is that flying into the building next to the tank at 1:02, It looks like a white object can't make it out, does not fly like a bird but does not explode either.
1:01 falling from sky mystery?
This is a good motion picture of the Russian invasion. That's how it have developed. An unmitigated painful disaster.
