Suicide of the day is our traditional column, where yet another Russian serviceman takes his own life by blowing himself up with a grenade.
A frantic swarm of Ukrainian drones covered a group of military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, unwinding them in a matter of minutes. One soldier lost his leg and did not give the drone a single chance, ending his stupid existence on his own.
This footage was caught by pilots of the aerial reconnaissance unit of the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade near Robotyne, Zaporizhzhia region.
I’m sure Ukraine appreciates that he saved them a trip to finish him off.
I doubt Russia cares, but it’s usually ‘better’ to have the injured return behind enemy lines
Takes more manpower/resource to care for injured
Other soldiers see what’s waiting for them, which is demoralizing
Other soldiers may notice a lack of care for the wounded which is demoralizing
People at home seeing large amounts of the population return without limbs, bringing the horrors of war to the population
Injured person may not be so loyal to Russia anymore
Obviously there are soldiers who have unique training/skills/knowledge that are hard to replace where their death is more beneficial for war. But for foot soldiers any injury that stops them from participating pays dividends.
That’s probably all true but that wasn’t the point I was making. If you watch many of the combat videos here you’ll notice the fpv and uav pilots don’t really leave wounded Russian soldiers, they finish them off.
In this video the orc does the job himself, saving the Ukrainian defense a trip to finish him.
Honestly, in a good chunk of the videos the Russian soldiers injured by UAV will pop grenades on themselves rather than bleed out or experience Russian hospitality
I’ve seen a fair bit of soldiers getting hit by UAVs, but they usually came out of damaged vehicles or are embedded in trenches and therefore participating in combat. But it totally makes sense to eliminate threats when Ukrainian troops are moving into that territory.
It seems wasteful to kill a dieing soldier if no Ukrainians are entering the area anytime soon, especially if there are other healthy soldiers in the area to decommission
Obviously this video has Ukrainian military actively in the war zone, and it totally makes sense to eliminate any threat with UAV instead of people.
Not saying you’re wrong, but I can only comment on what I’ve seen
Is russia taking care of injured soldiers? With all the meat wave, shooting deserters, etc. stuff I’ve read, I’d think they just move them out of sight and shoot them themselves.
That’s what the mobile crematoriums are for.
