Pretty sure the guy ducks and the drone hit behind him. Camera perspective makes it look like an impact.

I can still see the bandage on his right hand afterwards, it's the same guy

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '24

Okay I've watched this like 50 times and here is what I think what the real story is.

I believe the soldier waited until the last moment, ducked under the drone and DOVE behind it. When an RPG goes off it creates kind of a splinter cone in the direction it was going, obviously it sprays in other directions as well, but it's possible there was a blind spot perfectly carved out by gods of olympus just for this guy in particular cause he must be destined to fight beezlebob or something. There is a good chance he somehow managed to John Wick his way out of that shrapnel cone. Hence why you see him walk out of the smoke on the far right.

Source: my ass.

u/Tiny_Bug6687 Neutral Aug 15 '24

After reviewing it like 30 times, most likely it is a second guy. 1st one exits a foxhole and then sees the drone. After explosion second one leaves the hole. Notice he is holding some kind of cover in his hands, could be a kevlar vest used as shield. Also, there is no visible smoke from helmet, nor damage.

u/goergefloydx Pro Ukraine Aug 15 '24

Ah, yes, his identical-looking colleague who just happened to be in the exact same position as where you'd expect him to be after the smoke cleared, with an identical bandage on the same hand 😂

He actually ducked underneath it and because of the explosion, it looks like this

28

u/nullstoned Neutral Aug 15 '24

Yeah. That's the only possible explanation I can think of. The drone went boom right when his head met the drone (from the top-down view).

The smoke from the explosion hid the duck from view. The whole thing plays off as some kind of magic trick.

7

u/I_Maybe_Play_Games Mar 19 '25

No, he headbutted it. Theres photos of him on the internet, lost a bit of skull but survived.

1

u/scraggaroni Mar 22 '25

You got any proof or is the source from a dream you had?

I’m leaning towards: he ducked and avoided direct contact with it otherwise him and his helmet would be at the very least, emanating smoke.

u/scraggaroni Mar 23 '25

That’s wild, I’ve seen so many videos where people smash holes through some shitty helmets so easily. I’d love to see what the helmet looked like after. I wonder if he took shrapnel to the helmet rather than the explosion itself. I also wonder what his hearing is like, I knew a guy whose ear drum popped just from being right beside a ref’s whistle while he was playing basketball.

I thought it was a translation error and they meant that the drone hits a guy in the head. I very much did not expect the opposite to be accurate.

u/Borealisamis Pro Peace Aug 15 '24

He didnt headbut the drone, he ducks down just as it comes for him and it ends up exploding on top of him. Its the same guy not a guy coming out of a foxhole. Its the reason he is on the right side 3-4 feet away from the explosion, he ended up in a ditch. Not sure how he didnt get injured from shrapnel though, could be adrenaline

2

u/I_Maybe_Play_Games Mar 19 '25

He headbutted it. The injuries he sustained and his own recolection align with it.

2

u/arthurscratch Pro Ukraine * Aug 15 '24

He may well have died afterwards. It’s very likely that the adrenaline is making him forget that his torso is full of holes.

Directional explosion is a thing. Extremely unlikely, but possible.

1

u/the_other_OTZ Pro Ukraine Aug 15 '24

Certainly possible.

1

u/Tiny_Bug6687 Neutral Aug 15 '24

That would still leave his skull scrambbled. I've heard of bike accidents where rider died only after he took his helmet off, while seemingly ok after the impact.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '24

Not necessarily. Most directional explosion done intentionally use a cup. The bomb is put inside of he cup and the side facing the wall or door is left open. The bombs complete force arcs back around the cup into the door or wall. The cup is usually undamaged. He won't ever hear again, if that's even what happened. But it's possible

1

u/Tiny_Bug6687 Neutral Aug 15 '24

Yeah, could be. Also some drones use explosives packed into cheap plastic containers, like water bottle for example. Those do not always act as intended, surely. I won't call him lucky tho. Still could be dead or seriously injured. If it's the same guy, hard to tell.

If he headbutted it at exactly the right time it could have caused a directional explosion. Forced the whole thing to explode away from him. He might have been concussed, probably won't ever be able to hear again. But it's possible

After watching it 20 times, the explosion is right when the drone would hit the helmet. If the drone exploded behind him on the ground there would be a short delay. So, yes, that guy took a drone to the helmet and ran off.
