  1. Don’t know if I saw that correctly but did he throw a grenade back at the troops he was stationed with while following the drone?

  2. Saw another video where a ukrainian drone dropped soda for a russian to drink. Good to see humanity in this war every once in a while when you can.

  3. I’m 99.99% sure I won’t end up on the Uk-Rus front on the Russian side, but in case I do, I already know what I’m going to do.

    Pretty much wha this guy did, but naked.

  4. I know a lot of you will disagree, but I love these videos where the drone operators show humanity and allow them to surrender instead of killing them. Yeah, they don’t belong there and should get out, but it’s still someones dad or brother, somebody loves that person, and we see alot if not most of the time, drone operators don’t take prisoners. I’ve seen countless videos where they were doing this same thing, praying and showing they want to give up, and none of them had grenades still in their hands but the drone operator still chose to drop the explosive on them and kill them. It’s such a waste of life, and I look at it like, if I was in their situation I would pray that the operator had a conscience and would take me prisoner instead of killing me like a fish in a barrel. This was wild though that they allowed his surrender with a GRENADE still in his hands. That technically makes him a combatant still, so he really lucked out. Also, it shows that these guys know they are going on one way suicide missions. Who knows how long he was holding that grenade for with the pin pulled, because I’m almost positive they pull them before they start making their way into the combat zone. I mean their options are to throw it and hopefully kill someone, but be killed themselves, or if they get wounded, ideally it will cause them to set it off, so they die faster instead of slowly bleeding out.

  5. Good on him. I’m glad to see not one but two pieces of footage here of occupiers doing the right thing. I’ll watch these guys get blown up all night, but I would much prefer they just surrender. No need to die on a putinist lie.

    Really gives you an idea of how close those front lines are too. Wild.

    And note the date. This happened less than 24 hours ago.

  6. Nice, he’s alive, but I can’t help but wonder if this is a contract soldier and how much blood is on his hands.
