Drone footage of a Russian soldier executing a wounded comrade. A three-man team is travelling on foot in column when an FPV drone strikes the center man. As the third soldier approaches the wounded man, the latter taps his head. The third soldier obliges and shoots the wounded man in the head before continuing with his mission. Was caring for a wounded man too difficult, or their mission too important? The man who was executed was not carrying a weapon, so perhaps he was being detained, and therefore not deemed worth the trouble of evacuation. Or perhaps this is the new norm for the Russian Army.
