      It’s the difference between a fire-cracker going off near you vs clasping your hand around it. The former is loud and fun, the latter will blow your fingers off. They did that here, but with a grenade!

        When I was about 9, I taped a firecracker to a Lego minifig. I saw a car coming right when I was trying to light it, so I clenched it, not knowing it had lit. One second later I felt it explode in my hand. Luckily it was a very tiny firecracker, and only left me with some scorch marks and temporary numbness. Of course, it did nothing to the Lego.

    Serious question, is the Russian side of the conflict adapting and using these bomb drones now as well?

      I just watched a video within the last week, having trouble finding it but it was probably posted here… I think it was an interview with a drone team leader. Anyway, he said russians use similar drones too, but they severely lack reliable communications with other units or with artillery (sometimes the means of communication simply does not exist), so their drone use is not nearly as effective. They also often mistakenly frag friendlies, but what’s new?

      There’s a point where you can see his pelvic bone and spine trying to move around as he tried to work his missing legs. I watch these videos often but this one is by far the worst I’ve seen.

    I give up. How the hell do I view these damned Telegram posts?! What a clusterfuck. Every link just opens a new, identical tab.

    It’s 2023 y’all. There are lots of ways to share videos that are non-proprietary.
