This footage, provided by Ukraine’s 3rd Assault Brigade, shows their soldiers working with an observation drone to dispatch two Russians who are hiding in a foxhole. Although the wounds are censored, radio chatter regarding the Russians and the nature of their injuries may require the viewer’s discretion.

The Ukrainian soldiers taunt the Russians as “Odin”, ostensibly their drone observer, walks their fire onto the hole in which the Russians are hiding. At 0:42, “Odin” reports that one of the Russians is dead, but the other has received a lethal head wound, and invites “Berkut” (the 3AB squad) to give him quietus. Although a rifle and PKM are initially used, the job is finally finished up with what appears to be a 40-millimeter grenade launcher. It’s a direct hit, a hole-in-one, a three-pointer- whatever you want to call it, as the Russians’ ammo reportedly cooks off, “Odin” praises the gunner’s accuracy.
