Looked like he was doin' fine until he dropped it. Probably could have disarmed it. Anyway, 🌻.

Imagine his excitement and relief.

"HOLY SHIT GUYS!!!! DID YOU SEE THAT??? DID YOU SEE HOW EPIC I AM??? I CAUGHT A FREAKIN DRONE BOMB!!! NO, SERIOUSLY! IT'S RIGHT HERE!!! oh fuck.."

BOOM!

dead body on the dirt road as curb your enthusiasm theme plays

So... what exactly are they telling these guys? This one literally grabbed a bomb out of the air and kept it, and another dude blew his own brains out after he simply heard a drone approaching the other week.

Imagine those annoying mosquitoes CONSTANTLY flying in front of your face except much larger and they explode

And you thought Zika skeeters were spicy!

if he paid attention all the time and threw it behind cover, or disconnected battery, he'd be alive

I would have thrown it into a tree. Still not great, but better than what this guy did.

~~I hate to say that, but killing a unharmed, fleeing soldier is a war crime.~~

Well, according to ICRC website, fleeing is a reason for loss of protection, so no, this is a legit use of explosive. Did he attempt to surrender, he could have survived.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed. The thing you're running from is in your hand, throw it on the fucking ground and keep running or accept your fate and stop.

The thing explodes when it collides with sometime, usually because a circuit gets closed. It seems like it exploded the moment he put it down. A better call would have been too keep it in hand and try to disarm it. Or, you know, surrender as soon as you see a drone coming towards you

You got me good with that twist ending. Thought he was going to get away.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I don't think he thought that one through.

Oh well, maybe next time. Or not.

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I thought he was taking it back to show his buddies where he would then fumble it at their feet
