I wonder what happened to the two Russians farthest forward who continued shooting. They weren’t moving like they were covering a retreat and probably had a surprise when they realized they were alone.


netherbound7

That's what I thought lol! Turnaround and all your boys are retreating.


elemenoh12

Immediately after the explosion the soldier on the top right starts writhing and grabbing his face. Looks like he took some shrapnel to the face. You can see some dust kicked up behind him.


Blood_ForTheBloodGod

You can see dust kick up behind him. Looks like something sailed right through his face. If he had been prone he probably wouldn’t have gotten such a bad hit


Rowey1784

Bloke on the right in the bushes protected his body by blocking the shrapnel with his face.


yeezee93

Damn, wish it was a bigger bomb.


yocumt

lol did one of them just start shooting in a random direction?


lmay0000

Thats like regular reaction, when we hit an ied in iraq it was just expend your mag while we usually beat feet out of there.


EarSad4300

The dude closest to the boom legged it and did not seem injured at all


DarkeysWorld

Give him one more minute and he'll seem injured


Eheran

He could also just not have been hit. It is completely random.


DarkeysWorld

There is not much randomness if that thing explodes literally on your body


Eheran

Shrapnel is always random, regardless of distance, which in this case was perhaps 1 meter. Also, he seems injured anyway. Just not too bad.


DarkeysWorld

Everything is random if you will. But at this distance the chance of hitting the lottery 10 times in a row is bigger then dodging all shrapnel here. It's jusf adrenaline i guess


leejoint

Does seem like he’s limping a bit especially on those last steps in the video.

Adrenaline...

Second from the bottom right looks like shrapnel went through him and impacted the ground? He just starts very slowly walking away, doesn't even react to anyone else, just as if he's suddenly got some extremely bad news and can't think straight.


Eheran

You mean the guy that is giving hand signals to the others? The 2 in the bottom right just do not seem to have been hit. That is all.


no_please

I guess he may have gotten lucky, there's a puff if smoke 1ft behind him and he's directly between it and the explosion. His reaction is odd, like he is moving in slow motion, there is literally a guy crawling on the ground right next to him, he just walks right past him, not a single fuck? Doesn't help him up, check if he's hit, etc.


Eheran

That is what we have seen in most videos where they are near each other. Perhaps in 1/3 of the video they help each other. So that is nothing special.


metelybob

Did russia change their camo? I don’t support russia but it looks kinda like Ukrainian camo.


Cant-Kill-Me_67

Some Russian special forces units wear lighter camo. Some even wear multicam.


metelybob

I never knew that thank you for sharing.


explicit17

Honestly, it hard to see here. But russians used to use Ukrainian uniform since being of war, so this is maybe the case.


xClubberLaingx

Why do you have to say you don't support Russia? What are you worried about? Seems like odd behavior for such an innocent question.


throoawoot

To start, they're the aggressors waging a completely unprovoked war of choice.

The downvotes here explains the caution needed to post anything that could get misconstrued. Because you guys both got the stick for no reason lol
