  2. Hell yeah, if they’re not gonna turn their guns on commanders this is the next best thing. Hopefully this spreads through telegram and others follow.

  3. “Hey guys, any of you also feel like not dying today?”

  4. They got a loud speaker on that drone? Makes me wonder if they couldn’t convince a shit ton of invaders to surrender..

  5. They’ve probably seen how healthy returned Ruzzian POWs are.

  6. They will be beaten and sent straight into the grinder as soon as they are exchanged.

  8. Wonder if those are re-deployed ex- PoWs. If so, not a great idea to publish this, showing how quickly and easily it happened.

  9. One has to wonder how low morale is back at camp if this many guys are willing to just immediately give up the moment they’re out of sight of their commanding officer.

  10. Will we see videos tomorrow of the 12 Orcs coming under fire from their own people? It wouldn’t be surprising.

  17. To have 12 soldiers all surrender in perfect sync like that…they must have pre-discussed it upon being dropped off or must have surely been captured before (or atleast one of them), sent back into the assault and straight away know the drill after the first time…

  20. Option 1, wait till one of us gets shot and have lunch. Option 2, surrender

  21. This is new. Russians might finally be breaking

  22. They are getting smarter, or at least, they must be finally getting the smarter ones who know what to expect with drones now and don’t really want to suffer and die a pointless death for Putin.

  23. I’d love to hear whatever they said to one another when they made this decision.

  24. Some sensible Russians! A sight in itself. Can a future Russian government be made of these men?

  25. More and more russians surrendering it seems these days.
    A smart choice.

  26. Better get them out quick before they get bombed by their own side

  27. Looks like the leaflets are catching on. Now they are in groups

  32. Effective defence comes in many forms.
    I’d say this is a great example that provides multiple advantages.

  33. I hope russian records are shit so they can’t figure out who these people are

  34. Impressive! Is this a premature sign of russian capitulation? Let’s hope so.

  35. Hasn’t there been at least one that started fighting for Ukraine?

  36. Best possible outcome for all involved. Hopefully it will be a trend.
