A Russian soldier hid in a pipe and was launched several meters into the air after being hit by a drone

  1. Mama always told him to reach for the stars, and on that day, he did.

  2. Why did he lift so high? It was probably a grenade that the drone dropped? Will it produce so much force?

  3. Jezus, how is this even possible? Was he sitting on top of a barrel of explosives? The only thing you see is – what seems like – dirty sewage water. Shockwave and over compression doesn’t account for this? It seems more like a geyser than an explosion.

    Nasty way to go.

  4. This is the best video I have seen here in months!

    The air velocity/pressure required to launch a body that far after he exits the pipe is astronomical.
    Aint thermal expansion a bitch!

  5. Several meters in the air? Looked more like low earth orbit.

  6. Hello, I’m Johnny Knoxville, and this is the Flight of Icarus.

  7. “Wow I guess I’m going to heaven…”

    “Oh…”

  8. “I believe I can fly
    I believe I can touch the sky
    I think about it every night and day
    Spread my wings and fly away
    I believe I can soar”

    “Yup that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.”

  10. The drone operator knew what would happen so he backed away a good distance !
    The guy was probably standing and the explosive landed in the water below him, but that was an incredible height to reach from a small explosion !

  11. The Cosmonaut program gets harder and harder as time goes by.

  12. I know its war. I know people are dying… But I laughed. That is some looney toons level stuff right there.

  13. Getting desperate for ammunition when you fire your literal self out of the barrel.

  14. Its weird to me how Russian soldiers have become death jesters on Reddit. Constant jokes made at their expense while they get their limbs blown off etc. Everytime I read the comments im like bro thats a human you are watching get killed and you are making jokes for some likes.

  15. Launched straight into heaven. Got rejected, sent straight back down to hell.

  16. As kids we used to make tennis ball cannons with metal cans and cigarette lighter fluid.
    At the time, cans like juice cans, and tennis ball cans were tinplate steel.
    Your bottom can would be a combustion chamber and upper cans duct taped end to end to create the barrel.
    My recollection is the combustion chamber still had its top with holes punched in either from the pop top or a can opener. That kept the ball from occupying the space that the vapors needed.
    (If you got the right cans they would interlock tightly and resist pulling apart).
    Poke a hole in the bottom side of the combustion chamber just above bottom lip of the can.

    Squirt in a little fluid in the combustion chamber and a little bit deep in the barrel.
    Wave the barrel around to create flammable vapors.
    Insert tennis ball.
    Point the barrel straight up and put a match to the hole.
    The ball would rocket up really high and come down hard and fast.
    Tighter the barrel the higher the shot.
    Getting good vapor was critical.

    It worked fantastic.
    (dad even bought the can of lighter fuel!).

    You could use a tennis ball over and over but eventually the fuzz would burn off reducing the seal in the barrel so you’d need a new one.

    This guy was one and done.

  17. That’s not a person it’s just the material covering the pipe
