THEY PLACED A MINE ON THE HEAD. Two motorcyclists storm a company of the K-2 Battalion.

Desperate occupiers must have greatly offended the leadership, otherwise it is very difficult to understand the motivation for such actions. Two Russians on a motorcycle went to storm the company stronghold of the K-2 Battalion. After firing rounds, drops from drones and artillery, it was decided not to waste the precious BC and put an anti-tank mine on the MT-LB. We thought they had no chance, but “the Russians don’t give up.”

    That was a lot worse than I expected. It’s a bit too early in the morning for me to watch a dude get burned alive. I wonder if he survived.

    Also, what the fuck was that grenade throw? I don’t know what they were thinking.

      Likely survived until the next grenade drop. The entire world should hate Russia for wasting human life like this, but when the rich and powerful do not respect humans or humanity…

      Panic does fucked up things to your decision process.

      Also, he’s almost certainly dead even if nothing after that happened to kill him. Having any large amount of your skin burned that badly is generally a fatal wound, because with the skin destroyed your body can’t protect against infection, and even if he had access to top-tier medical care it couldn’t completely eliminate the giant opening that’s been created for all kinds of stuff to get inside him now. And, it’s incredibly painful the whole time you’re dying.

      I felt bad for him too. It’s just a horrifying situation to be in.

        Yeah, getting burns on 40% of your body will pretty much always be fatal via infection. The only exception would be if you were in a specialised burn ward that is equipped for this kind of situation but how fast would you get there from a battlefield?

          Yeah, he fucked. He won’t be able to move around as well anymore, and if he tries to go back small arms fire or a drone will get him, and if he tries to go forward and surrender then the likelihood of him getting top tier medical care when his side was probably the side that damaged and busy-ified the hospital, is pretty fuckin low down on the list

          He fucked. Goodnight my brother and thank you for playing

    Two motorcyclists storm a company of the K-2 Battalion.

    Maybe the idea was that it was some kind of reconnaissance effort. Or sticking someone with an anti-tank weapon in an ambush position. The guy on the back looked like he was messing around with an RPG or something once he got off but before shooting at the drone.

    Also…I gotta say that if Ukraine’s switched over to using anti-tank mines with remote detonators as bombs on their UAVs, I don’t know how much good that anti-drone protection that Russia’s been putting on vehicles is going to do. That stuff’s useful if you’re dropping an antipersonnel grenade directly into a hatch, maybe. But I don’t think that it’s gonna protect against an anti-tank mine.
