This quick clip shows the extreme good luck of a Russian soldier when a Ukrainian artillery strike hits seemingly mere feet away from him. The date and location are unknown.

The bad luck that befalls the average Russian grunt borders on the obscene (link NSFW), to the point that seeing a Russian escape calamity by the skin of his teeth seems like an absolute rarity. Still, it appears that neither the cameraman, nor his buddy, nor -crucially- the beer were overly harmed by this close call. Never forget what Amstel had riding on the line here.
