Yeesh…blind firing from your position while things are blowing up in front of you. Not ideal. On second look, those are definitely outgoing grenades. Interesting footage for sure
That was wild — close enough to hear the enemy.
Was that a Russian at the 18 second mark right before the shooting started?
Is it easy to eliminate the muzzle flash from 7.62×39 out of a standard AKM? IMO, those flashes look like they would be a prime target that could be seen through dense foliage.

~~Edit: Damn, didn’t even see the other one at first — middle of the screen in the same screenshot~~
The second one is in fact a leaf.
Seems like a gamble throwing those grenades high up with so many trees. But i guess when about to be killed. Those are the risks you must take.
Here’s a longer version. https://youtu.be/ypzXonpym3s?si=qZxxmIPFDxkFiYRe
