GoPro footage released by a Russian Soldier conducting combat operations near Vuhledar shows a near miss with a Ukrainian FPV drone. The first few seconds of the video show the Russians attempting to, and failing, to bring the drone down with his rifle. This is immediately followed up by the drone conducting a kamikaze attack on the quad, but the pilot fails to make a direct hit and instead impacts with the Earth directly in front of the ATV causing the Russians who were on the back to fall off of the vehicle.

Following that close brush with death, the Russians immediately start laughing and cheering about the absurdity of the situation they've found themselves in.
