This footage, recorded by a Ukrainian observation drone, shows a Russian soldier managing to shoot down an FPV drone. However, as it erupts in flames, it crashes into the soldier's squadmate and explodes. Viewer discretion is advised.
The bids for "worst luck in the Russian Army" keep coming on in (links NSFW). Here, this poor bastard is seen firing at a Ukrainian FPV drone as he protects himself and a squadmate. His mate appears to be wounded, lying against a tree. It is not known whether the Russian disabled the drone and it landed on his friend as a matter of its set trajectory, or if the Ukrainian drone operator drove it home before it was completely disabled. In either case, the shooter will have to live on, carrying this incident, and the fact that he survived, with him, while his friend will not.
