1. I bet most of us have had that “o sht moment” when we miss a throw or a shot in a videogame. That russian had the real version and consequences of it.

2. It was a good throw. Just not good enough

3. Digging his own grave.

4. Somehow I have a feeling boomerangs or other throwing weapons might be quite effective, would be awesome to see some ancient tech vs modern tech

5. It seems these FPVs have heavier warheads than the switchblades

6. He saved the shovel for the next guy

7. Anyone have any good strategies for if one of these things was hunting you? Other than surrender, whatcha gonna do when the drones come for you?

8. I guess the mythical shovel did not protected this foool.

9. when you bring a shovel to a drone fight…

10. I call a spade a spade.

11. Looks like he swung at a high pitch and was hmm hmm called out strike three. SLAVA UKRAINI

12. Almost got ’em! Better luck next time!

13. Sometimes I wonder if the Russias I am seeing getting sniped or droned are captive Ukrainians being forced to dig in the open.

14. Is this the *second* orc shovel defense posted here? Maybe it gives them a feeling of empowerment in their last moments of life.

15. Waste of a perfectly good shovel

16. Cannot even see what’s going on in this video, just looks like a FPV circling a Trench.

17. Legitimate worthy combat training, throwing your shovel at remote controlled choppers.
