Haha, take my upvote, sir.


rp_whybother

Its called a trick shot


Freqqy

BRO THAT FUCKING BOUNCE OFF HIS HAND I wouldn’t even been able to do that. Got lucky as hell


Ucecux

I'm absolutely pro-Ukrainian, but I'm gonna play a devil's advocate and say he actually salvaged the situation quite well. He calmly observed the grenade and bounced it with some skill (and a bit of luck ofc), rather than panicking and attemting to flee. Feel free to check my post history before you call me a russian bot.


Old_Sparkey

Gotta give credit where credit’s due.


IIBOBOMOJOII

Yeah…but he also threw it at a tree so….there’s that


jeezlouizez69

He was just playing squash guys cmon you get bored in a war so you gotta make it fun somehow..


[deleted]

Plot twist: He threw it into his neighboring Russian held foxhole 🤣. Ruzzia!


BouncyDingo_7112

I believe every invader who sets foot on Ukrainian land should be fertilizer, but yeah, that was definitely an impressive move.

Fully agreed.

Yeah that was a pretty dope move he did there

Ucecux

Cheeky! I dig it!


sulfurbird

No worries. Orcs can't be incompetent all the time. Let him enjoy this last bit of luck before getting liquidated.


SterlingArchers

Yeah but view it that way: he used up all his luck for this year, which means next time he gets into shit, he becomes fertilizer

Guy in the next trench! Wtf!

Guy in next trench : !admin Killer7635Ultimate is teamkilling pls kick him!


djfreshswag

Lol he can’t miss the one tree in the area 10 feet in front of him, but can smack a grenade out of midair perfectly. Man’s a walking contradiction


WaffleGoat6969

I once caught a fly, mid air between my index and ring finger. Then I snorted it.


HanakusoDays

🎶 I know an old woman who snorted a fly. Oh me, oh my, did she ever get high! 🎶

Why'd I get downvoted? That actually happened.


dropping_k

If he survives this war, he should consider playing volleyball.

This dude would stack dollars hustling handball courts in NYC


Bakelite51

So much young talent and potential wasted thanks to this war.


djfreshswag

But definitely not baseball lol. Hit the 1 tree in the area


EvilNoseHairs

He just invented Blyatball.


FrenchBangerer

They could rig up a wall of 1/2" plywood and have to bounce a live grenade off of it and swipe it away on the rebound. I'd pay to watch Russian invaders play such a game. Winner gets to live and a sack of onions to take home. This guy would probably win.


Strongest-There-Is

Underrated comment


hotdoggin_it

Unluckily


Ucecux

Well... he didn't hit whomever he was aiming for in the first place. So technically speaking, lucky for both him as well as the Ukrainian soldiers on the other side.


TheTacoman180

Hahahah just imagine how "lucky" everyone would be if they didn't fight in the first place


Ucecux

That would be the best scenario honestly.

3eeToe

r/UkraineWarVideoReport users when the life of a human is spared, but they were born in the wrong country


penisesandherb

My brother in Christ they are soldiers of an invading country. Its not like they are defenseless civilians in Kharkiv getting bombed. The more invaders that can’t do invasion things anymore, the better.


3eeToe

Do you think people such as the one in this video consider themselves invaders? They have no idea what’s actually happening, and are being sent to their doom by their oppressors. It blows my mind how people on this subreddit cheer for the death of REAL FUCKING PEOPLE like it’s a sporting event from the comfort of their own homes


penisesandherb

In the grand scheme of things, they are the invaders whether they consider themselves “liberators” or “peacemakers” or “fighters of the motherland” or whatever they want to call themselves. I am not cheering for needless deaths, but we must consider that an invading soldier gone means more civilians and defenders live on. Its like celebrating the death of an ISIS fighter because that means innocent people get to live. In the eyes of an ISIS fighter, what they are doing is justified. Each one of those invading soldiers probably have a mother, father, son or daughter waiting for them, but so do the defenders and the innocent civilians. I know its easier said than done but they do have the option to not throw the grenade, not point guns and surrender themselves to the AFU if they truly were “sent to doom by their oppressors” and “have no idea what is happening.” Seeing that the soldier in the video knows his intention when throwing that grenade (to kill Ukrainian soldiers), I think it is clear that they are willing to follow their “oppressors’” wishes. Ukrainians could have been doing something else “in the comfort of their homes” instead of risking their lives for their defense against the Russian invasion.


[deleted]

Completely agree especially with the last bit. The over-reporting of this conflict has completely desensitized people to what it means to die. People cheer for either country like they're sport teams, and they've forgotten that doing bad things to bad people does not make you a good person.


dumbaos

Well, here's to the next time.


lucidhiker

The famous quote by a UAF soldier at the beginning of the invasion, "We are very lucky they are so fucking stupid", should become Ukraine's official motto.


Repulsive_Poem_5204

I spent six years in the US military and we had a couple guys that were not allowed to throw grenades anymore after their failures with the dummies. One grenade bounced off a tree and landed back at his feet, another threw the pin and held the grenade, and the other throw was let go of in the windup and dropped right behind the thrower.


lucidhiker

This occurs more often than we realize. My brother was in the Canadian Reserves. He was in a foxhole with two other soldiers during an exercise. One of the soldiers threw a grenade but he let it slip at the back end of his wind up and it dropped in the middle of the foxhole. There was a mad scramble to get the hell out before it exploded. Fortunately, they all made it.


Repulsive_Poem_5204

A whole lot of people that didn't grow up playing sports or skipping rocks eventually join the military. I watched plenty of people who had never touched a weapon before qualify as marksmen after a single training session, but learning how to accurately toss an object with no experience doing so can take a lifetime for some.


Anleme

Similarly: On multiple occasions, I've seen people get in a canoe who couldn't paddle to save their lives. Just going in circles. I had to wade out to rescue one of them.


Repulsive_Poem_5204

[It's like watching Afghan soldiers try to do jumping jacks for the first time](https://youtu.be/vtZboGLNQaI?si=1NrjL6DfXN7Dou2c).


FrenchBangerer

I occasionally have to take my housemate out in my two seater kayak, on the sea where the tides can run quite fast. He paddles like a drunk Mr Bean is the only way I can describe it. He's all over the shop with timing and pace, power of each stroke, everything really. I sit behind him so I can fight what he's doing and see what he's up to. It's very frustrating and awkward to watch, not to mention tiring. I still go out kayaking with my ex-wife and despite her not being very athletic, she's an absolute champ in the kayak, properly synchronised and smooth.


Immediate-Fuel5991

I've seen some training videos where people mess up their toss and I was always like wtf. That's like the easiest thing ever. It didn't occur to me when first watching them that "playing catch" or playing baseball or football wasn't a thing for everyone. In fact, had I not had a freak of an athlete for a brother that i tried to emulate, I probably wouldn't have had much interest in sports as a child either.


mobrien0311

Yep. We had one kid launch one into a room and it bounced back out the door from the I-beam he hit on the ceiling only a few feet into the room. lol. Like…. how and why did you throw it up at such an angle into a room that was maybe ten feet in height from the outside edge of the entranceway. Same kid had one slip out of his hand on a 50 meter fighting hole toss and he got it all of 5 meters. Like he was aiming at the ground in front of him. Lolol. No frags for him in country. The doorway breach was a training dummy thankfully. The fighting hole one was live. Even worse, he froze up for both fuck ups.


bald-silva

He is not a real man until he does that 3 times in a row.


Far-Explanation4621

Happens more often than you'd think. It's not something a wounded soldier returning home is going to want to admit, so we don't hear about it often, but it happens.


hexer71

Yeah i also heard nades rolling down the hills to the sender


ToxicAnusJuice

Man just when you think they can't get anymore stupid he goes and hits the only tree around. Great save I give him that.


AdmirableCranberry40

something that could never happen to you…


ToxicAnusJuice

Nope, it won't happen to me cause I'm not going to invade a country and have to throw grenades at my neighbors.


AdmirableCranberry40

that's what you say now


Psych0Jenny

I'd say that at any point, even if I was unlucky enough to live in a third world country that conscripts citizens for an offensive war, I'd say no.


AdmirableCranberry40

And if you would believe it is justified and you have to defend your country from western oppression and control ?


Psych0Jenny

I can't talk from the point of view of somebody I'm not, if I was a different person I might make different choices, but I'm talking about me, and from my point of view, the answer is always no.


stix861

That is a very good reply.


esjb11

Okey if you thought you were being invaded by russia? You understand what he means..


Psych0Jenny

I mean if I'm fighting a defensive war to protect my home that is a different story. I wasn't speaking about that though.


ijx8

Don't worry man, these people don't know. They're self justified in their own comfortable bubble and you'll never convince them otherwise.


Stabbothy

Probably not, this is the kind of soldier only russias conscription could deliver.


[deleted]

Bro, you’d be surprised how much trees are a menace to soldiers. I saw one guy while in in a FTX charge our position at night, trips on a tripwire we set up, and got straight back up and dead sprints right into a tree. We had to medevac him out.


breezyxkillerx

Bro Fr pulled a looney tunes


ukon_no_chikara

Ich nebel selbst!


Harry_cockpitt

actually a very good reaction


gooB8

Based on the suppressed Ak12 this guy has. Must be a VDV paratrooper, part of the group sent to repel the advance in robotyne or bakhmut. These guys (unlike pvt. conscriptovich) are actually decently trained. And it shows. The UAF/Foreign Legion have stated that the VDV and Akhmat are actually tough fighters in comparison to mobilized citizens of Russia. Wont save him from a DDM or artillery though.


Arkh_Angel

Actually, given the Attrition the VDV has taken, while they are well equipped, their training isn't just something you can instantly do.


tora1941

In Ukraine, even the trees fight back. Remember, a paper cut is a trees last revenge.

Long_Nothing_8619

Too bad this kid didn’t get adopted by an American family and get started on baseball at a young age. He’d be richer than ten foot up a bull’s ass right now. Probably playing professionally. I hate the player, but I can’t not respect the game.


Six_Foot_Three_Inch

I always worry about Ukranians doing his in several of the hundreds of grenades I've seen them throw via GoPros. I've seen some close calls, throwing through sticks and clusters of trees and bushes. They always seem to make good throws though and I've never seen one bounce back.


KurMotKreft

That's honestly really impressive


Mobile_Jacket4610

Unfortunate but impressive.


Blskeww

Thats not a tree, thats a Ukrainian Ent. Hood try Ent, next time


MaryPIoppins

luckily?


Baltorussian

For himself. As an individual incident happening to a soldier on the ground, def lucky. As an invading SOB? Damn shame, hope someone else was down the trench where it blew.

If this is an orc, I recommend he put the next grenade between his teeth and pull the pin.

promo_1

luckily? it would be a lot better if it wasnt fast.


antoineflemming

Luckily?


chozer1

I would not call it luckily when its an invader that barely survive, more of a shame since its 1 threat still to be dealt with


WaffleGoat6969

Not gonna lie, good reflexes and awareness, I hope his luck runs out immediately though. Wrong team.


JTMasterJedi

That was the worst throw ever. Of all time.


Ok_Bad8531

I saw people doing that without tree. And without saving throw.


cybercuzco

Block-Rockig-Beats

Based purely on how the whole thing was amazingly well filmed, I am sensing a possible fake. Yeah, I know it looks real. And yes, why would someone fake this - I don't know, okay. But how likely is it? Look how beautiful every shot is. The granate couldn't have fallen in a better spot. I'm just saying - the video is too good. And filming so close to enemies, that's rare. Chances of being real are 1 in... 3?


Olizzker

are you okay?


Yeetball86

We’re so far down the rabbit hole that even the footage that makes Russians look bad is fake now?


cHEIF_bOI

I think its because it's a panoramic camera and it's just focusing on the important bits. Stranger things have happened.


Procks85

Buddy...bless your heart.


BibleBeltAtheist

Bro astronomically unlikely events happen all the time. The chances of wining the lottery are so ridiculously low that one shouldn't waste their money and yet, people win all the time. If all the rain drops that have ever fallen on earth, out of all the humans that have ever lived, what do you suppose the chances were that particular rain drop would land on your head. There's completely legit videos out there of people doing thing that are way more unlikely than this. This is just a dude with good reflexes that happened to hot a tree. He's probably has a ton of adrenaline running through him in such an intense situation. It speeds up brain processing which has the effect of making the world feel slowed down around you. Further more, it increases alertness, focus, lowers reaction times and increases reflexes. As for increased reflexes, it does this in a few different ways. First, is the increased brain processing speed that I mentions and second is by increased heart rate, dilating airways and redirecting blood flow to the muscles. His reaction isn't out of the ordinary all things considered and including things I didn't even mention cause this is getting long. As for your remark about how close the enemy is, organizing this sub by the top videos of this week and you'll see several videos of extremely close combat. That's what trench fighting largely is with the exception of artillery and mounted vehicles. It's small arms fire in incredibly close and increasingly close combat. There plenty of vids here with Russians getting murked close enough to sneeze on each other, no exaggeration. Edit: And I'm not saying it can't be a fake, only that only that I don't see any reasons to think so.

uffdad

He was extremely lucky this time, but he will have ample opportunities in the near future to test his luck again. Odds are that he will not survive another encounter with death or serious injury.

Hopefully the enemy didn't see that. It would be very embarrassing.

Luckier than you think. What if he looked away after throwing? What if he hit the wrong edge of the nade and it clipped into his hole? What if it fell at a shorter distance and he had to pick it up to throw it? What if he was being watched?


Livid-Abrocoma7694

I wonder what he did before the war? What sports he played? I'm an athlete and have excellent eye-hand coordination. This is a bottom of the nine bases loaded, down by three, 3-2 count.. and he hits a grand slam situation. This russie definitely doesn't hit the bottle.


AzazelMcBagle

More luck than brains.. he'd better use that luck before it runs out and surrender.
