A Russian soldier fires an RPG at a Ukrainian tank at very close range, misses due to the round clipping a telegraph pole, and then has his firing position obliterated by the tank’s return fire.

  1. Triple distilled ruSSian to be sure, to be sure, to be sure, as Irish use to say.

  4. That must be an RPG-30, right? With the precursor round hitting the telephone pole some 0.5s before the main round flies past it? You can even spot the two distinct back blasts from the shooter.

  5. To those unaware: telegraph poles as well as night lighting poles are made out of rebar-reinforced heavy concrete in Ukraine. Not all but most of them. If you drive alongside of secondary country roads, you can see those crooked and crippled but still standing poles after deadly car accident where driver lost the control and hit the pole. Those are seriously strong and sturdy. That’s how the pole could withstand the hit from RPG.

  6. shit editing ,, the cut between him firing and taking fire could be long enough for him to GTFO of there

  7. lmao missed from like 10 metters. tbh not sure if i’d do better having a 50 tons killing machine that close to while knowing its aware i’m close by and is hunting me.

  8. The guy runs back into the house and sees his buddies, staring at him with anticipation: “Guys, you won’t believe thi-” *Boom*

  10. Its just electric net pole, old one version you can found in Ukrainian villages. Not telegraph.

  11. It’s amazing how little something like a utility pole saved lives.

    Slava Ukraini!
