Devout occupier drops to his knees before Ukrainian drone, crosses himself and begs for his life. VIDEO
In the Kupiansk direction, where fierce fighting continues, unusual behavior by a Russian invader has been recorded. As Censor.NET reports, a video filmed by a Ukrainian reconnaissance UAV has appeared online, showing an occupier trying to enter into a "dialogue" with the equipment.
Noticing that the drone was hovering directly above him, the Russian soldier did not try to flee or open fire. Instead, he chose a tactic of repentance.
Details of the incident:
- Location: the Kupiansk direction of the front, Kharkiv region.
- Actions of the occupier: The Russian serviceman knelt in the middle of a field, began repeatedly making the sign of the cross and clasping his hands in a prayer gesture, addressing the drone operator.
- Context: The video shows the invader in a desperate situation, realizing he has been spotted and is in the crosshairs.
Usually in such situations, operators can drop a note with instructions for surrender, if the combat situation allows and there are resources available to escort the captive.
"The Kupiansk direction of the front, Kharkiv region. A Russian occupier is trying to beg the drone operator for mercy. His further fate is currently unknown," the caption to the video says.
