    Pretty good tactic in this hopeless situation without cover versus a faster machine. If he was just a few meters further away, he might have survived with just a few shrapnell wounds.

      Yeah, I know this subreddit likes to take the piss out of Russian soldiers, but I’d like to see them come up with something better.

      Running in circles also bought time, and could have been successful had the drone run out of battery.

        I actually thought he was doing okay until he ran out of patience and threw his helmet at the explody drone.

        It’s a good thing that Russian troops are so poorly trained.

          At this point, “troops” is a loose description to describe the caliber of fighters Russia likely has available to send. Still, solid effort by the guy.

    Fuck these russian cunts but damn I’m happy I’m too old to serve. War is fucking scary, drone war is straight up horror.
