    on the list so far. I am compiling this footage for documentation purposes because this is not normal for this to happen so frequently, despite what Russia’s supporters tell you. [Even if the Russian state makes a monument to it, this shouldn’t be normal.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/k1BHAzuMIF)

    This list is not intended to celebrate, glorify, encourage, or otherwise make light of suicide.

    There are 141 recorded instances of Russian soldiers killing themselves on the battlefield, 26 maybe’s, 1 monument, 6 mercy kills, 12 implied/found later, 7 cases of Russians intentionally killing Russians. We went 0 days since the last confirmed instance at time of this example.

    The list has gotten too long to be a comment, it was on its third comment due to character caps. The list can now be found at this [wiki link](https://www.reddit.com/r/DroneCombat/s/NMR9QWNw4H).

  5. There has to be some sort of respawn, these guys are offing themselves like theyre putting out a cigarette.

  6. They surely must be told Ukrainian captivity is worse than russian living conditions. There can’t be any other explanation to this phenomenon

  8. Practiced, precise actions. He had done this many times before.

  9. They gotta be getting trained to do this, they were doing this two years ago

  10. what happened to his muscles right after he shot himself, they uncoiled like springs?

  13. Thanks for saving a drone for one of your comrades. 👍

  15. You know the russian command could have the decency to issue them pistols using a rifle is just inconvenient.

  19. -so, I’m not pro-Russia. In fact, I’ve been pro-Ukrainian since 2014. Figured I’d pre-face what I’m about to say with this.

    Soldiers have been doing this for a long time in Russia… there are examples of it over and over again throughout history… with how poorly Russia treats its injured soldiers, it has become the norm.

    The Kerch isthmus assault in WW2 against the nazi’s had many injured USSR soldiers commit suicide or assisted suicide… Afghanistan in the 1970s… now in the Russia/ukraine conflict… I can regurgitate more instances but you get the idea.

    So while we would say suicide is not the norm in western countries, OP is incorrect saying these things aren’t the norm in Russia…

    I mean, the same country uses ‘blocking platoons’ to force soldiers into futile frontal assaults… and has been since WW1… not a giant leap to understand why this is a norm…

    So… let the argument commence. I can back up my claims with historical evidence though…

  20. This guy was in “just make it stop” mode. Should have stayed home.

  22. Why not shoot to the heart? You can die and still be pretty for a couple days.

  23. These animals treat their own people just as bad as everyone else.

  24. At this point I feel like I’m watching these simply because even though they’re clearly on the wrong side of the war, these are sad, hopelessly desperate people who deserve to at least be witnessed. I can’t possibly know what crimes these people are individually guilty of, but I can’t imagine the mental state that one must sink to to scrabble across the ground hunting for the means to kill yourself like that. And then to do it almost without any hesitation. I can’t imagine being so eager to die.

  27. I think this was a blank or something?

    Usually the helmet jumps or flips off. Absolutely nothing here…

    There’s usually a spasm or two as well ! But again..nothing, just a clean drop of his arms etc.

  28. Well he was in a hurry..

    In russian first aid training, I wonder how severe the wound needs to be before they instruct you to shoot yourself in the head.
