Footage that looks like it could easily be an early 2010s FPSRussia video on YouTube shows a Russian Soldier defusing a landmine with his service rifle. I'm not exactly sure who taught him this technique, or what made him think it would be a good idea, but I really hope dude's face is okay.

He was clearly not a professional Russian.

Also, his injuries are not service connected.
