It Took 12 Drones And An Artillery Shell To Kill One Very Tough Russian Soldier
Lucky until he wasn't
It took a dozen first-person-view drones and an artillery shell to kill one very tough Russian soldier presumable somewhere near Huliaipole in southeastern Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Oblast recently.
A video montage posted by the Ukrainian 225th Assault Regiment depicts the FPVs and artillery hounding and ultimately wounding the solitary Russian with near misses until an FPV finally directly struck him.
The Russian was lucky until he wasn’t. His temporary but ultimately futile evasion of the FPV strikes underscores a bloody truism of the drone war raging all along the 700-mile front line of Russia’s 48-month wider war on Ukraine.
It’s possible, with skill and luck, to survive an FPV attack. But the tiny explosive drones are everywhere all the time—so you may need to survive more than one. Or even a dozen.
