Ein afrikanischer Söldner wird von einem Duo ukrainischer FPV-Drohnen (Bedienerrufzeichen „Paper“) überfallen.

nah that shit bonked him first dog

The dude’s pants were soaked in blood before he lost head.

That second drone felt entirely unnecessary. 

The freeze frame, music stopping and ‘huh?!’ when it zoomed on his face was morbidly funny. 

But to be real for moment it makes me think of Tolkien: 

“You wonder what his name was, where he came from?… What lies or threats led him on this long march from home, if he would not rather have stayed there.”

sad thing is the guy might not be a mercenary at all. There has been a wave of protests & diplomatic actions aimed at repatriating Africans who were sold a bag of lies and sent to the front lines

> Three days later, Kenya’s parliament majority leader, Kimani Ichung’wah, presented an intelligence report to parliament describing in detail how “rogue” employment agencies were targeting Kenyan men with false promises of jobs as cleaners, cooks or security guards, only for them to be coerced into signing contracts in Russian they did not understand.

Awe he was tricked

whitest russian:

Be careful putting mercenary, there’s a lot of dudes from Africa getting tricked into enlisting. It’s really fkn sad, and has to be terrifying for them. There’s a video of where Russians strap an anti tank mine onto one of em and forced him to be a suicide bomb (at gun point, while calling him all kinds of fked up things). His family recognized him from the video and turned out he had left for Russia with promises of being working IN Russia as a cleaner or cook and making decent money. They make them sign papers in Russian then they’re off to the front line.
