So, uh, how fucked is his shoulder? Because I almost feel bad for the dude

But then I remember... what the fuck is he even doing in Ukraine lmao get fucked

[–] nyoooom 4 points 1 year ago

Kinda feel bad, the dude obviously lacks proper training, just got dropped out there to be another piece of meat

[–] WheelcharArtist 19 points 1 year ago

these are clearly well trained soldiers...

[–] Vlyn 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With zero training it kinda makes sense: You hold the stock of your gun to your shoulder for support. So the soldier might have thought it's the same for RPGs..

Or he thought he could get away from the front by injuring himself.

[–] andrewta 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can’t tell. Exactly what did the soldier do wrong?

[–] Sterile_Technique 49 points 1 year ago

Went to Ukraine.

[–] WheelcharArtist 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

looks like he has the rpg resting / pressed against his shoulder

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Probably did it on purpose to get out of the fight.

Why are most of these videos obscured by massive watermarks?

[–] sanmarzano 4 points 1 year ago

People make money running the Telegram channels that distribute these videos.

The watermarks point people to their channels-that's why often you'll see something like a telegram link watermark float over an explosion.

Is there a higher res version of this somewhere? It's hard to make out, but the guy holding the rocket launcher has muscle-tone visible visible on that right arm... which means his camo is sleeveless? .....which means that white shit flapping around is skin?

I've seen vids of people skinning deer with a air compressor - this motherfucker might have just done the rocket powered version of that to himself.

Kinda takes 'shooting yourself in the foot' to a whole new level. Which is appropriate, considering where he is and what he's doing there.

It’s like the people at the fair who put the pellet gun stock above their shoulder. But in reverse…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly can't see shit with that watermark.
