    Fucking hell. I’ve watched a ton of combat footage videos in my life, and personally have heavy combat experience as a member of a caat platoon. I am desensitized to a very likely unhealthy degree. That whining dog got to me though.

    Also, I’m not seeing any exit wound on this piece of shit, so I’m assuming the projectiles are still in his mouth or jaw or some shit. I’ve seen dudes get shot and it not register with them because of adrenaline and shit, and I’ve seen dudes get rolled in an ied explosion and not register that they can’t stand up while I’m writing a t time on the forehead because they have no leg anymore, so I get shock and all that. But dudes just sitting there like he’s filming the 2024 remix of the “I can’t believe you’ve done this” video.

    a fragment from submunition, there was i think one case of shaped charge of submunition hitting a russian soldier caught on drone video and it was much worse

    I’d say take cover, but the tungsten pellets go through engine blocks and truck frames. Only thing saving you would be distance and angle of the attack I think.

      tungsten is not some magic material and it makes sense only in select large weapons, like 100mm-ish diameter and up. it’s not used there anyway

      I’ve been unable to find it, but I remember seeing a video of russian filming a truck that was hit by tungsten pellets from a nearby cluster munition. It’s insane how everything seems like butter when up against those tungsten balls.

    One in the cheek and one a little further back and a little down. That one to me seems life threatening. Nothing good back there.

    You see 2 streams of blood flowing down.
