Russian soldier hits mine with stick and nearly gets his head blown off

Russian soldiers proved their own worst enemies in newly-unearthed footage from Ukraine which shows them narrowly avoiding harming themselves and each-other on the battlefield. In one video, a Russian soldier stupidly decides to destroy a mine hidden in a wood by shooting it with his rifle, causing a large explosion that knocks him to the ground. In another, a second Russian in a similar piece of forest decides to employ the same tactic but rather than shoot the mine, decides to hit it with a log – with predictable results. In a third, a Russian goes to fire an RPG at Ukrainian lines but fails to realise his comrade is standing behind him, knocking him to the floor with the back-blast from the launch. #russia #ukraine #war
