Ukrainian Soldier Survives Extremely Close Explosion
Published 1 years ago
This short clip depicts a Ukrainian soldier using a trench for cover as something explodes close by. That he heard it coming in suggests it may have been an FPV drone. It's worth noting that the shoulder strap of his plate carrier seems to fail amid the explosion, and while I don't have any understanding of Ukrainian, the soldier is reportedly announcing that he has been wounded, under the stupid music. He most likely took some shrapnel in the back, but that's better than the alternative in this extremely close call.
