The precision with which Ukraine's drones are able to drop bombs is a sight to behold. Equally impressive is the magnification power of the drone that drops the bomb, allowing it to remain hovering in position after administering the big boom, so as to take a close up high resolution look at the targeted tank to find out whether a second bomb will need to be served up to demilitarize the tank and the entire crew on board.

Hello, fellow action fans. Today's drone footage posted within the hour shows a close-quarters exchange of machinegun fire and grenade tosses. This footage begins with Ukrainian troops hunkered down under the remains of a destroyed bridge while Russian artillery and mortar crews lob several high explosive rounds that detonate right over the heads of the Ukrainians.

Two Russian troops hiding in craters near the road above the bridge then attempt to storm the bridge, perhaps not realizing that there was a lot of fight left in the Ukrainians. At this point, ferocious barrages of machinegun fire were poured into the fight from both directions, with several grenades tossed, yet miraculously, the two Russians were still intact and fighting fit after the ground all around their position exploded.

At one point the opposing soldiers were no more than ten feet away from each other, letting rip with all the firepower they could muster in wild desperation to prevail. As the video clip ends, the two Russian attackers sprint away from the scene in a vigorous and hectic retreat.

In this footage, one Ukrainian surveillance drone films Russian soldiers moving between houses from a stationary hover, while a second drone drops hand grenades on the troops to kill and maim them randomly. This might be the first ever instance of hobby-grade commercially-bought drones working in tandem with DIY locally modified drones rigged up to drop grenades with precision.

While the Russians also have drones deployed in their invasion of Ukraine, it is the Ukrainian forces that have displayed the most creativity in their battlefield adaptation of cheap civilian drones.

Just stumbled on a more detailed youtube video about the mounting of small grenades and bombs on drones, which are then sent to destroy Russian tanks with surprising accuracy, consider that the entire bomb release mechanism is essentially home made at the warfront.

This is an extremely clear and highly focused few minutes of video footage taken by a drone that parked itself in the sky above a Russian soldier who felt safe hiding in his fox-hole whose design dated back to World War1's trench warfare carnage.

With astonishing clarity, we watch as the drone dangles its ONLY munition, a small grenade fitted with tail-fins to facilitate stable flight, closer and closer to the unsuspecting Russian soldier. Then, with an aim that must have been well rehearsed beforehand, the drone operator actuated the load-release mechanism on the drone's underside, thus releasing the grenade to fall and strike the target with surgical precision.

The Russian soldier takes the full brunt of the grenade blast and lurches off his seat into a fetal position on the ground in that hole which thus became his grave. The drone then descended to survey its victim up close. The final twitches of the dying soldier are thereby recorded for posterity, by that small eye in the sky now suddenly put to devastating use in Ukraine.

Scholars and historians of improvised warfare will often cite Ukraine's innovative conversion of hobby-grade quadcopters into precision grenade-dropping tools of selective annihilation that are currently visiting primal fear into the hearts of Russian troops out in the front-line trenches of Ukraine's free fire zones.

In this new era of DIY remote-control aerial bombardment, the margin of safety from small arms fire that was once offered by having troops occupy a "dug-in" warren of trenches, no longer exists because tiny drones now stalk the skies above the battlefield like vengeful birds of prey, ever ready to unleash one or several fragmentation grenades with surgical accuracy.

Here in this week-old video clip a Ukraine drone patiently lurks above the positions of Russian troops in a forest, then proceeds to drop one grenade after another to slice and dice the flesh of Russian troops where they stand completely absorbed with the firefight raging around them on the ground, while oblivious to the danger lurking in the sky above.

This recently published video clip shows the devastating effect inflicted by one single grenade that was dropped from the sky by a drone onto a group of Russian soldiers already carrying a wounded comrade on a stretcher. The grenade explodes towards the rear of that group of men, but nearly all of them are hit by flying shrapnel whose wounds left them unable to get back on their feet.

One can only imagine the terror felt by such soldiers who may STILL not realize that the grenade taking their lives came from directly above in the sky, thanks to Ukraine's innovative drone use during their current war.

What about the fella that ran away? grin I think the drone pilot was new, or he would have released his explosive when the drone was in the middle of the column. But the men were presumably medics and far as I know it is illegal to target medics in war. Not that Russia or the West has much respect for laws and norms of war.

Seriously though, what's happening to Putin and Russia is so sad. It is like seeing the local village champion being beaten black and blue by a 5-year old that's still sucking bre$$.

Nigeria has a lot to learn from the current Russian situation. And that is because there is a single reason that's responsible for 95% of the current massive Russian failure in Ukraine and that's corruption. The corruption in the Russian society and armed forces is so terrible it makes Nigeria look like a paradise and that's no exaggeration.

I have read on Twitter about a small gang of connected criminals controlling the sole access road to a major Russian base and robbing, extorting the tens of thousands of the men there and this has been going on for years and is still going on now for all I know. Putin budgeted billions of dollars every year to modernize and reform his armed forces, but estimates have it that from 50-60% of that money ended up being stolen.
In fact, stealing is a way of life in the Russian armed forces, with everyone stealing from whoever they can. The officers steal the salaries of the men, their equipment and rations and either sell those back to them for a very high fee or put it up for sale on eBay. The men make do with petty pilfering of their own. Budgets meant to maintain equipment disappear on the regular and I have read report of tanks and armored vehicles arriving on the front with missing engines, transmissions, electronics and the like, as these had been stripped out for sale. Or should I mention the many supply trucks that show up at the front with very worthless stuff?

The corruption also means that troops do not get the training that's stipulated in the rule books, with training materials embezzled, though the men are on paper marked to have undergone the training they so clearly did not get. That lack of training gets them killed fast and stands in contrast with the Ukrainians who since 2014 have been getting heavy doses of Western training to prepare them for this day.

The entire thing is a very very sad situation, one that Russia cannot live down for decades if ever. I am sad because to me Russia used to serve as a counter to the West and now they have been exposed as incompetent fakers who can't club baby seals to d@ath. I don't think the situation will go nuclear, but Putin has to have a victory and the West might soon choose to either keep standing by Ukraine or engage in direct nuclear confrontation with Russia.

And this war should serve as a lesson to our armed forces. Corruption kills and has killed probably thousands of them. Money meant for equipment purchase either disappear in this country, or shitty equipment is purchased via shell companies at the price of new ones. If I remember correctly, a few years ago we bought third hand T-72S for like a million dollars apiece, when they shouldn't have cost over $200 to $300K. Stuff like that severely impairs our ability to counter our many and growing foes and will eventually be the de@th of us.

As you rightly highlight, the Russian army has over decades been hollowed out by corruption at the expense of combat readiness. With the recent terror attack alert on Abuja, Nigeria's seat of federal power, the parallels between Russia's overrated military and that of Nigeria become more concerning by the day, particularly when one considers the Islamic terror threat all across the West African seaboard from Burkina Faso to the Camerouns.

If US and UK intelligence reports indicate that the seat of federal power in Nigeria is currently under threat of a direct military attack by Islamic terrorist insurgents, the question arises of just how effectively Nigeria's elite fighting forces will counter the looming threat, given the litany of corruption scandals that have emanated from the Nigerian military weapons procurement cash flow protocol. Any nation whose federal capital is under warning of an imminent terrorist attack is by definition a nation at war in the official sense.

The numerous logistical, strategic, and tactical debacles that have beset Russia's military during Mad Vlad Putin's ill-fated Ukrainian land-grab, serve as sobering harbingers of calamity for ANY nation's war capabilities, whenever institutionalized corruption prevails as it sadly still does in Nigeria. One can only hope that Uncle Sam continues to assist Nigeria with intelligence and even boots on the ground as events warrant.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian mechanical engineering geniuses yesterday entered the pages of military history by successfully launching BOAT DRONE SWARMS against Russian naval fleets anchored in the Black Sea. While Russian helicopters pounded the incoming drones with relentless salvos of machinegun and rocket rounds, those gutsy little unmanned boats zeroed in on collision courses with their target warships viewed remotely through on-board night-vision cameras under the cover of darkness, before accomplishing final impact and detonating gigantic explosions that sank several battleships. Fear of Ukrainian engineers is the beginning of wisdom.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/shocking-video-shows-massive-attack-173839492.html


On a drone-related note, Ukrainian troops at the front lines of war have composed a praise song to honor the Turkish-made Bayraktar drone whose precision fire has enabled scores of Russian troops to star in their own snuff movies by dying on camera along with their heavy machinery of war.

Today's video clip of drones killing human beings sets a new benchmark for image clarity. Drone cameras a now capable of zooming in to get an extremely close view of the target being bombed with small rifle grenades dropped by drones. In this clip, the drone operator is absolutely relentless, as he drops grenades one after the other on the heads of unsuspecting Russian soldiers, many of who probably never knew what hit them as they lay dying in their battlefield trenches.

Today's drone bombing video shows a Russian soldier sitting in his fox-hole without realizing that the drone was taking aim overhead with a small rifle-launched grenade modified with fins to become a small aerial bomb.

To cut a long story short the grenade detonates right next to the guy and blows him the phuck up in full view of the drone's camera. The level of detail in this footage is truly breathtaking whereby the long rolling tumble of the injured Russian soldier is filmed from start to finish. A whole new WORLD of war-fighting technology is unfolding in Ukraine right now y'all. Check out this man during the last few seconds of his life.

Video clips showing Ukrainian hobby-grade drones dropping small grenades on individual Russian soldiers are released almost daily now, but this particular video footage breaks new ground due to the alarming crystal clarity of the film recorded by the very same drone that dropped the grenade. With a powerful zoom camera that drone films its small package of high explosive drop right behind the spinal column of the unsuspecting Russain soldier who lay curled up in his front-line fox-hole.

The results filmed in sharp and magnified 4K footage ought to put the fear of small drones into the hearts of AL human beings regardless of whether or not their countries are currently at war.

This video clip offers a fascinating insight into how small rifle-launched grenades are modified to fall with precision as drone bomblets, simply with the use of some home-made plastic 3D printed parts, and in this case, some chicken feathers substituting as stabilizing fins to smooth out the bomb's vertical descent on its way down to serve death upon the Russian troops too busy with the battle to look up at the lurking danger in the sky.

To those of y'all who have been hankering and agitating to see today's installment of battlefront footage showing Russian soldiers being killed by tiny hobby-grade drones, here is the latest offering for your learned consideration.

Here we have two Russian soldiers who are completely unaware that a drone is preparing to serve them with a grenade dropped from directly above. The drone pilot almost seems to be a mind-reader, because the tiny grenade is released at the precise moment and aim point whereby the two soldiers would walk right into the impact zone after initially turning back from their original direction of travel.

The grenade drops right at the feet of the two soldiers, and when it explodes they are cut to pieces internally, and thus most likely dead before they hit the ground. The long shadows cast by the two men tell the story of their final moments in a horrifying cinematic fashion that is assured to remain etched in the memory of viewers.

The camera footage captured by the same drones used to drop bombs in Ukraine is getting so clear that the facial expressions of the targetted soldiers can be seen when the drone zooms in for a closeup after delivering its deadly payload.

Here a Russian soldier was so preoccupied trying to board a small boat at a riverside dock that he failed to hear or see the drone preparing to end his life directly above him in the sky. The result is spectacular as the soldier suffers a direct hit that causes blood to spray everywhere as the fatally injured man contemplated his death brought to him by a tiny drone that he probably never saw.

Ukraine no dey carry last. They recently dropped this selection of high-resolution drone strike footage on individual soldiers. The magnification power of today's hobby-grade, commercially available drone video cameras means that the same drone used to serve up one or more life-changing grenades can then loiter in place to film the ensuing carnage with sufficient magnification and clarity as to make possible the facial identification of the dying vitims. Brace yourself for this one. The images will stay with you. Very gory to put it mildly.

In today's drone footage installment from the Ukraine war, a drone takes on the role of a battlefield observer as an armored vehicle conveying just NINE Ukrainian solders simply drives directly towards as many as 30 heavily fortified Russain troops.

On arrival of the Ukrainian armored truck within yards of the enemy positions past several nearby explosions, those nine Ukrainian warriors dismounted with guns ablaze from the iron horse and proceeded to administer escalating intensities of fiery hell upon the hapless Russian conscripts who stampeded in utter disarray like so many terrified heads of agricultural livestock before the relentless advance of a much smaller Ukrainian attacking force.

Watch carefully and you will see the Ukrainian-fired bullet impact dust plumes "walking in" along the ground towards the retreating Russains who walked away quickly like they were late for work.

The trench warfare raging in Ukraine is unrelentingly brutal and totally unforgiving of even the smallest tactical errors. Under the unblinking eye of a drone overhead, a Ukrainian soldier sneaks up on a hiding Russian trooper sitting less than 20 feet away, so as to serve him a hand grenade for lunch. The Russian soldier does not choose to fight back but instead is paralyzed with terror in his hole.

In response, the Ukrainian soldier sneaks up again and unloads a withering burst of rifle fire on the wounded Russian, before finally tossing another precisely aimed grenade that blows the Russian troop and his entire ammunition supply to kingdom come. War is hell, pellow kwantiri-mans, hell. This footage depicts close-quarters hand-to-hand combat in its most existential form, where no quarter is given on either side, and no mercy is shown whatsoever. The action kicks off at the 1.55 minute mark of this sobering video clip of life and death in war

Of all the Ukraine war footage ever posted on Youtube, the one in this link published just hours ago today June 14th, 2023, is by FAR one of the most emotionally charged war stories ever shown since historical war records have been kept.

A Russian soldier, desperate to live and surrender to a Ukrainian-operated drone that had already dropped deadly grenades that killed several of his comrades in arms, hurriedly devised a method of communicating with the drone operator whose camera resolution was such that every facial expression of the terrified Russian soldier was clearly visible.

As artillery shells pulverized the ground around him while he fled to the safety of his intended surrender to Ukrainian troops this Russian soldier defied all odds as he sprinted and stumbled towards his mortal salvation following the direction flown by the drone overhead that ultimately led him to the trenches of his Ukrainian captors. If you had tears in your eyes over the plight of this Russian trooper, and if you found yourself willing him to live as he climbed over the dead bodies of his comrades in arms, then certainly you are not alone. Watch this footage and be amazed.

Like any good hunter, the drone pilot drops his munition well ahead of where the moving target is at the time of the bomb release. The targets thus find themselves literally running into the death zone of that unseen and unheard Ukrainian drone

A recently published YouTube video describes the rapid evolution of Ukraine's homemade suicide drones that are fabricated by assembling cheap Chinese components with 3D-printed airframes coming off a makeshift assembly line rigged up in a secret mini-factory bunker/factory located deep in the forest. With explosive ordnance ranging from rifle grenades to RPG and mortar rounds strapped aboard these super-fast drones, the result is a weapon of uncanny precision whose ghastly whine triggers panic in ALL infantrymen on both sides of the Ukraine War.

These FPV ( First Person View) drones are equipped with forward-looking cameras that enable the remotely located pilot to fly the drone at dazzling speed into the smallest of apertures atop armored vehicles, which then explode spectacularly, killing all Russian soldiers aboard instantly. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. This is seen daily in the David versus Goliath clash pitting the might of The Russian Bear against the woefully outgunned yet ingenious, adaptive, versatile, and resolutely defiant underdog - Ukraine.
