    there was a recent video posted where 3 soldiers are running up a lane, the middle one is badly wounded by a drone. I didn’t see what the first guy did but the 3rd one is the one that gave him his exit. in the video you can sort of see the wounded soldier tap his own head as if to signal please do it here. and sooo he did and kept going.

      And you know he is only doing that because he 100% knows how Russia takes care of their wounded (they don’t).

      Imagine how fucked all the Russians are going to be when they go back home to their 3rd world shithole. Let’s just hope they take it out on Putin.

        Tbh when you are on the verge of death and there is no way of saving you, you will probably be happy to get the shot and not suffocate on your own blood or similar shit.

        But i thought this is about the video of Russians shooting each other in arguments.

          I have never seen this shit within the last few decades in a Western military. Everyone there believes a CASEVAC will get them to a hospital where they will be saved. Even if it can’t always happen, it is the norm to do one’s best to save people, not just give up in the first seconds.

            Its not happening often in western military because there is waaaay better logistics and you would never see a Nato/“western” country allow three soldiers to run around without any support in a straight line.

            Oh and the executioner did notice the drones, all three did.

            But i have read stories (and seen them… “thanks” liveleak) about soldiers from western militarys doing similar. But the people on the receiving end where basically dead already, like blown apart with 0% survival Chance but still somehow blinking. Its not seen as taking a live by the people writing the storys usually.

            But yes as long as the body is mostly one pice and isn’t bleeding puddles from the torso rescue is at least attempted.

      might be relevant: i don’t think these three were equals. first and third one are kitted out, but the second one (targeted) had no weapon, no backpack, and sneakers as shoes. russians consider some categories of soldiers as expendable, maybe he was from penal unit or something like that
