"The story of the goals that explode": The Russian smoked and suggested that the Drone of the Armed Forces kill a friend - Forbes
The landscape of the battlefield, when the Ukrainian drone attacks demoralized Russian soldiers, looks gloomy, journalists say. According to them, the case that happened can be considered as an important cut of what is happening in the Russian-Ukrainian war, which is approaching its third year. "It is the story of horror, cowardice, betrayal, cruel determination . . . and the heads that explode," the publication reads.
The drone with grenades of Ukrainian border guards found two Russian soldiers in shallow armor. The video published in the OSINT 69 and Sons Presents Telegram channel, Russian soldiers are alone and no one else is visible. No air defense or far offers are able to affect the flying drone, journalists say. The Russians noticed UAV. One of them lies, squeezing on the side, and covers the head, the other sits, tightens a cigarette and looks into the eyes of the drone operator.
The military with a cigarette indicates a friend: they say, kill him, not me. The Drone Operator of the Armed Forces fulfills the request - and the smoker from a few meters watches the UAV drops the grenade directly into the lying soldier - the explosion literally tears his head. Perhaps the drone had only one grenade, perhaps the smoker believed that he would not have enough grenades - and so he would survive.
Or he desperately wanted to live a little more and smoke, regardless of the moral price. As a result, the pilot of the Ukrainian drone did not pardon the smoker. This task may have been transferred to the second drone, which eventually eliminated the occupation service serviceman. The second Russian was obviously damaged, but he stood up and took a few steps before the pomegranate broke under his feet. The published video contains a bond, that is, several videos.
In the final frame, another grenade is flying on the second Russian military, and also causes damage to the head, apparently incompatible with life. "It is easy to imagine what the Ukrainian drone operator thought about. They thought about thousands of Ukrainian civilians - elderly people, pregnant women, frightened children - whom the Russians killed in their senseless offensive war.
They may have thought about Ukrainian soldiers who tried to surrender , but were shot, " - the authors of the publication say. Russian philosophy of military morality is based on a concept that is not fully understood in the West, the authors of the publication say. This is called Dukhovnost. Journalists as close in meaning were given by English Spirituality.
"In the Russian idea of military morality, an important role is given to the spirit of mutual assistance of soldiers, an emotional community that should exist (in the military team) as a model of action in the heat of battle," - writes South Africa Gustafon Kurki, in a recent study of the Swedish defense agency. "The cowardly betrayal of its brother looks like a mockery of spirituality. Spirituality does not grow organically with the blood-fed blood of Russian soldiers of the battlefield.
