🔥Our friend from the 🐉47th Mech. Brigade shared with us a video of a Russian soldier, being hit by a drone-dropped munition, almost immediately, without hesitation tore off the grenade’s pin and committed…

    Foregrip, folding stock, suppressor…

    This dude is kitted out way more than comrade conscriptovich. Special forces maybe?

      He was already dead after first drop, these drops are full of shrapnel, so he just used fast-forward button. As for doing suicide attacks, that’s just how they roll.

      I think he knows there’s no hope of medical help. From vids I’ve seen, his “buddy” will come up, shoot him, and take his lunch.

      Chooses to go out on his own terms

        I just can’t imagine heading into a meat wave against flying robots alongside soldiers I trust that little.

        Like why not just take out an officer or mutiny at that point? I can’t tell if they’ve got too much nihilism or not enough.

          They use blocking units in the back that are better feed and better rested/safer to stop deserters. They all know this so the act of mutiny is harder

            Option A: frag a sergeant major and maybe a lieutenant, get shot in the face.

            Option B: Take some shrapnel to the ass, place a grenade under your chin.

    Poor fuck had that planned out. Just tucked it under his chin like he had been practicing and ended it.

      I thought the same thing… at that point, when you’re practicing/mentally preparing to commit suicide if you’re injured, I honestly don’t understand why you don’t go frag an officer and at least take one of the assholes putting you through this with you…

      Because it’s useful propaganda. It’s how you win wars using the media. The bad guys do it, and the good guys, too.

          There are plenty of russia-friendly places to go to, where they have similar videos, but why would we want them on a Ukraine space?

          I’d rather watch some sorry fuck that’s participating in an imperialist war of conquest blow himself up, than a defender protecting his homeland from fascism.

          Lol. So are you upset that Ukraine is doing it, or because you actually don’t see the point?

              You shouldn‘t invade independent countries, bomb the shit out of civilians, kill thousands of people and kidnap their children, yet here we are with snowflakes that „fully support russia“ crying about fucked up videos on the internet.

                  I‘m glad that you don‘t support Russia.

                  I do agree, that those videos can be very disturbing. Hopefully it reaches and deters soldiers from Russia and shows them that there is a better way out of this.

              If he hadn’t been there on his fucked up quest to try indoor plumbing and perhaps rape and/or murder some untermensch in the process, there’d been nothing to post. He’s responsible for the situation, the camera is just filming and it could’ve been just a clip of a nice snowy field.

          From the Russian point of view:

          *Pull ring. Kiss grenade. Fades to black.

          Not very interesting really.
