Careless handling of weapons leads to suicide!

The video shows a Russian occupier who spared our ammunition. We advise other enemies to adopt the experience of their “comrade”.

    What was he even trying to do? It looks like he was attacking the ground in front of him.

    Hard to tell… but did they throw a grenade that landed literally the other side of the tree… then pick up a loaded RPG and tried to throw it at the grenade?

    Or just dropped the RPG and it went off (I thought fusing would prevent it detonating immediately?)

      I think he threw a log or something like a rock? Whatever it was, he threw with two hands and then tossed the RPG at it, lol.

      It depends on the model what type of delayed arming it has. Most of them are inertial, some are spin, some have inertial and spin.

      You might be on to something. I re-watched after your comment and there’s definitely movement on the ground in the area that he eventually RPGs himself with. It’s very brief and then obscured for a lot of the video though so it’s hard to say what it really was.

    I feel like this should have the distinction of “a Russian” and not “Russian.”

    If A Russian ceases to exist that’s fine I don’t need to see it. If Russian ceases to exist then that is some shit that people need to know about.

    Looks like he throws his gun down first, then picks up an RPG and throws it down, causing it to discharge into the ground. We might be seeing one of the many disgruntled Russian conscripts throwing a fatal temper tantrum.

      How fucking stupid can you get?

      Here’s a flying lethal explosive frag bomb with a radius of at least 20’. Let’s stand 10’ away and throw another lethal frag explosive at it!

      Seems to me the correct action would have been to back off 50+’ then shoot it with the rifle.
