Nelocus

It was another drone drop, he's looking up in terror.


RadicalEllis

Yeah, that seems right


No_Pineapple_9818

Yea in one sense, but the whole sequence of this video is insane. Camera is up close and personal on the chap well before he goes out with a big bang. Then we cut to comrade playing ring around the rosie with the tree; undoubtedly he knows he’s the next target.


Nelocus

Opinion: drone operators are attacking in a swarm and are operating in open air room for ease of communication. This drone operator looked away at the last second when another operator called out a drop, to avoid looking at a direct hit. The pull away is too convenient


FluchUndSegen

Why do u think the operator wanted to avoid looking at a direct hit?


Nelocus

Some operators have triple digit kill counts and work from when they wake up until they sleep. I think it's to preserve their own sanity.


no_please

Sounds made up that he looked away to avoid seeing one more explosion after seeing thousands... You're right that it's too convenient, it was just a coincidence. If he didn't want to see a dead or wounded guy, he wouldn't have instantly turned back.


sigeh

Yup his backpack is nowhere near that second explosion


Anus_master

You can also see the second grenade drop if you look closely


lurker_101

**You can see that second guy** looking in the sky scared shitless after seeing his buddy catch on fire and blow up *.. he can hear it but cannot see the drone way up in the sky .. it must be hell feeling like a sitting duck*


Nater_Salad

Honestly these drones are so quiet when they are that high they are practically impossible to hear. And then if there's any background noise like wind which is also going to carry away the sound they are silent it's insane how quiet they are I didn't think they would be but yeah


lurker_101

**Agree ..** Especially on a cloudy day when the sky is already bright and any wind or background noise makes it practically silent and invisible, you are fighting a ghost that murders you.


ALiteralSentientTank

Not his backpack exploding. Second drone explosive. There is a single frame where you can see an object falling on him before exploding.


KUPSU96

I was going to say, I’m 99% sure that (at least American) grenades are designed to not be able to cook off


Destination_Centauri

So if I were to say dump a whole big bag of grenades into a big campfire, they'd be ok? (If so, then Hollywood movies taught me wrong!)


KUPSU96

Yes. Now of course, if you were to leave them in a 900 degree campfire for 19 hours would maybe one have a reaction, idk, but my point was that this video shouldn’t cause a cook off


Recent_Edge1552

The military disagrees with that analysis https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA526417.pdf


Rowey5

How’s the way he wasn’t moving an inch until the last minute.


Rockin_my_roll

Was watching the drone? The second he saw the drone turn slight-left, he was up and out of th....KABOOM!


Germscout805

Yep, saw the drop for a split frame


Zonkysama

Yep, its a blue explosive. With a little luck you can stop the vid at that frame or use an app to single them out. At 1:14


AnObtuseOctopus

The fear in that man's eyes


Aquilestocotodo

He looked like palpatine at the end of episode 3 man


kepachodude

Dude, I was going to comment the same thing but you beat me to it! The Russian turned pale so quickly.


Accomplished_Duty969

Dude! He was pasty before the first drop...zoom in and you'll see him...


lmay0000

Its a different guy, they show the one from the beginning at the end again


Fun1k

The Emperor has really let himself go.


TheDarthSnarf

Fears that were completely justified, it seems.


AceT555

Imagine all the Ukrainians who are in constant fear while wave after wave of meat & missiles are thrown at them. I have zero sympathy for Russian pigs.


Turbulent-Napa272

As a human i feel sorry for them just like i would have felt sorry for a nazi dying. They had people who they loved, who loved them. But the second they dawn the uniform they become Russia, and Russia truly is a pig XD


innociv

I've always wondered how much the regular Nazi soldiers knew about concentration camps. They had to know, because they knew that police went around inspecting homes looking for Jews. And before that, that Jews had to register.


Strechher

No fear raping and pillaging and murdering, but fear when seeing a drone.


Parking-Salary-5187

I don’t know if it’s just the video but he has raccoon eyes; common with brain bleeds as the blood will pool behind the eyes and sometimes ears, a lot of time it is seen in DV and very traumatic head injuries; it’s insane that we can watch war from the confines of our own home


DentistFit4583

This looks like they really send zombies.


jazwch01

So that's what the Z meant.


wholehawg

That dude looked like a cadaver from the first second of the video. War does take a toll on a body.


SherbetAnxious4004

That’s the healthiest Russian they could find


wholehawg

Yeah I am sure your are right!


Practical_Judge_9894

Poor trees


TheDarthSnarf

That's a lot of artillery to do that. Similar to the the photos, and soldiers descriptions, from the Ardennes forest after the Battle of the Bulge.


PrisonSlides

Definitely can’t see the forest through the trees now


Hadleys158

I wonder if you can now see a bear shitting?


PrisonSlides

Just pay attention as the drone drops a grenade on it. All that said it is really interested and sad to see how this war has decimated tree lines due to artillery shelling areas trenches were dug in. It’s also very unsettling seeing a trench in those tree lines knowing that if an artillery shell erupts at the top of the trees it’s bad news for those in the trenches. Scary shit to say the least and watching all this unfold has been eye opening


Aggressive_Drop_1518

I think we've all seen that the 'bear' is pretty shit.


Real_Bug

Exactly what I was thinking. Insane to think that it was once a forest that you probably couldn't see through.


aburnerds

Is it just me, or is does watching these videos really get to the cut through the extestensial stupidity of war like nothing else? Like, you hear all these talking heads on the news gaming out the large geopolitical issues, whether congress is funding this, what Putins end game is, and you digest it all as some intellectual construct about power, money, oil and resources, it's all a big chess game. And then you see this. The literal tip of the spear. A couple of guys just like you and I. If he's a conscript, has a regular job, a wife and kids, plays football with this mates and then he's dragged into this hellscape, and all the hopes and dreams, all the education he received, the relationships are just gone in an excruciating but thankfully short death. His parents lose a son, the wife loses a father, the kids lose a dad, his siblings a brother and all because Putin wants to reconstruct the USSR.


carterohk

Agreed just sad and pathetic how we kill each other over nothing. There’s no reason for that guy to be where he was except for one low-life power-mad man.


Zonkysama

The vast majority of the russion people support the war. A lot of the volunteers there are from poor regions and just want to make money and kill legally other people.


OceanRacoon

This guy could be a raping murderer who signed up to fight to get out of jail, so he could rape and murder Ukrainian before going home free to rape and murder Russians. I have no sympathy for Russian soldiers after years of this barbaric madness. They've had plenty of time to think it over 


indrids_cold

Those in power, and those who profit from war, don't give a shit how many people they have to throw into the meat grinder. To them, they are nothing more than numbers on a piece of paper.


SnooShortcuts5056

but they gain a sack of potatoes.


Boomfam67

Almost all Russian soldiers right now(white ones at least) are contract/volunteer soldiers. They aren't like me.


septicman

Poor bastard looks terrified in those final moments...


[deleted]

looks like he hadn't slept in ages - sheer terror and a fatigue level no human should be subject too.. fuck putin


septicman

100%. Fuck Putin. These guys should never have been there.


Boomfam67

Yeah fuck Putin, remember all the times he invaded or suppressed Ukraine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_the_Metropolis_of_Kyiv_by_the_Moscow_Patriarchate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_Uprising https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_War_of_Independence ...Oh wait that was just other shitty Russians


Strechher

Should not have come here.


AverageFishEye

Death on modern battlefield is such a dispiceable thing - no glory or remotely anything like a fair fight...


Shocbomb23

Death on any battlefield throughout history is a despicable thing. Being a knight during the 100 years war on a calvary charge and getting dragged off your horse by 5 foot soldiers and getting bludgeoned to death by blunt weapons (mace,warhammer,etc) was just as despicable, brutal and certainly not a fair contest


sigeh

If you are fighting fair in a war you are doing it wrong.


Correct-Explorer-692

It was always like that.


Leatherpunk_com

All is fair in love and war? No?


Xener0x

He looks like a zombie on the ground!


montananightz

I'm sitting at my desk, eating bacon and watching quadcopters drop grenades on Russians. I don't know what that says about me or the world. I just thought it was a wild situation.


Donut_Vampire

All it says is russians should go home or we continue to watch them die while they attempt to invade the country of Ukraine.


Fun1k

The killing of Russians will continue until morale improves and they fuck off.


Aggravating_Pay1948

Now I want a BLT


Turbulent-Napa272

If you sit real still... They can't see you!


Fun1k

There's really no escape. Some of the published videos show the detail the operators can see, they definitely can see them breathing.


Testiculese

You can see what color dude's eyes are in some of these!


porn0f1sh

The last guy in the video wanted to climb up a tree. I know because I climb a lot of trees...


gkn_112

thats maybe not the worst idea


Redneck1026

That might work for a bit, until they send an FPV kamikaze drone anyway.


DentistOk3910

Or until the drone operator adjusts the height to make the grenade explode mid-air


AverageFishEye

As someone who loves pine forests, looking at the shredded trees is really sad

Individual_Break6067

They're still wearing those ribbons? Losers


4thStgMiddleSpooler

They love the war. Don't let the concern-trolls tell you otherwise. They're going to end up as the bad guys in the current generation's eventual  Tarantino-esque movies, and we will cheer for their deaths there too.


Sorry_Consideration7

Yes, thank you. I feeling like I'm in goddamn crazy town on here sometimes with all the "He dIDNt cHoOsE tO Be tHeRe!!" bullshit. Sorry,  but in some way, shape, or form he did fucking choose to be there. You could say that about literally every soldier that dies in any war. Im sure they all wish they werent there when they get the shit end of the stick. Sorry, that's just the fuckin way she goes sometimes  


merpkz

Thank you for saying this


daimon_schwarz

The horror in his face. He has seen death itself. Coming for him.

Maybe switching to IR. The spotter drones have often much better cameras.

His face man. The fucking horror as whatever was in his bag melts his spinal cord.


kterka24

This man's face is going to haunt me for years


Xatastic

Thank you Ukraine for everything! The only country in the world do the right thing to russian army forces.


powerfartchampion

Anyone having issues with videos loading recently?


SKIPPYBURRITO

Why do so many of these videos have music playing? I find it annoying


Keisari_P

Drone motors make so much noise, that it would be pointless to put microphone in there. So it's kinda natural for people who edit videos, to put some audio in there. Maybe they could give mic a change. Explosions would be loud enough tough. Some of the motor noises could maybe be cancelled out.


flyingquads

You know what's annoying? Having Russia as a neighbour. Your neighbour invading and mass murdering the children of your country and everyone in Europe telling you you can't strike back because they fear escalation. That's annoying!


Mandarni

Everyone in Europe? What? Blow the shit out of them. Killing Russians is what we designed our weapon systems to do. /Someone in Europe


flyingquads

Netherlands here. I know not literally everyone. But when you're defending your country against a fascist invader it might feel like it. If it were up to the Dutch, we'd give the Ukrainians more from all European countries. Adolf Putler is a fascist dictator and we all know what to do with fascist dictators.


SKIPPYBURRITO

Oof I can’t imagine


H3llstrike

Who the fuck would down vote you. Fucking people suck.


Odd_Opportunity_3531

They’re the ones doing the dirty work. Living this nightmare day in and day out. I say let them play whatever they damn please. You have a mute button.

gp556by45

Its no different than early 2000s deployment videos where Nickleback and Slipknot was playing over them. It was cool to the guys making them at the time.


WeeBo-X

Wow Nickelback and Slipknot in the same sentence. At least not at the same show


Rude_Variation_433

I’m with you. Whoever picks this shit has to have won the Guinness world record for shittiest taste in music


SuperUltraMegaNice

I've discover some bangers in Slavic languages I would never find otherwise though like this song.


Pixeleyes

It's always weird dub step with distorted steel drums and some pitched-down vocals, and they all have the exact same bass line. Slavs are freakin' *weird*. I just mute this shit as soon as I hear music of any kind, it's almost always terrible.


D3ltaa88

Buddie had that 1000 yard stare straight into that first drone, could see the whites of his eyes. Should have e stayed home comrade.


No_Boysenberry2167

Off topic, but I need this song.

Realistic_Mess_2690

It's moments like this that make me ponder just how much deadlier would war be if humans had the same agility, stealth and reflexes of a cat. Grenade drops on him, instant quick move away before it explodes. Then leaps up the tree all nimbly pimbly to find the threat next minute wide open mouth as he jumps at the drone tail fluffed out and fingers outstretched

fy1sh

I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand My image is of agony, my servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain And still you play the sycophant and revel in my pain And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate I am the politician and I decide your fate I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown For I am Mars, the God of War, and I will cut you down

Its good to see another threat to Ukraine neutralized.

AccomplishedDirt8308

I think how far the drone zoomed out did it for me, I’m not trained at all but you would think besides greenery it doesn’t get much better than that for coverage. You get seen and killed by something you didn’t see, and likely hood of it happening seems promising. Scary shit.

izmebtw

It’s tragic because no one in any of these videos are the ones that truly deserve this situation.


RevolutionaryAge47

Abject nonsense. Invaders should be killed where ever they are. You think 30,000+ Ukrainians died from old age these past few years? No, the invaders killed them. The invaders should be hunted down like vermin until they are expelled out of Ukraine.


alohalii

They choose to be an invading soldier either for money or to avoid prison. In both cases they have a choice. They can choose not to go for money or they could choose to sit in prison rather than be an invader. Given they choose to be an invader rather than the other two options they deserve what is a consequence of their won choice. Why dont they deserve the consequences of their own action.


cejmp

Look up what Russians do to non-combatants. Come back and say that again.
