(NSFW) Ukrainian Blast Eliminates Russian Proxy Fighter
Published 2 years ago
Ukrainian observation drone footage, reportedly filmed on Jun. 11, 2019, shows a Russian-backed Donetsk Peoples Republic (DPR) fighter being neutralized by an undetermined blast.
The source of the blast is unclear, but after the dust settles, a large hole can be seen in the wall where the militant was taking cover. It's possible the blast was artillery or mortar, but it would have had to have been luckily accurate without first bracketing with previous rounds fired. The blast may have also been the result of a direct-fired high explosive projectile such as a tank round or wire-guided anti tank missile (ATGM). A third possibility is that the wall may have been booby trapped by Ukrainian sappers. We have seen a number of videos in which Russian proxy fighters are targeted with pre-planted explosives emplaced by Ukrainian infiltrators. The narrow gate passage in the wall would make a great chokepoint for targeting enemy units.
