Bungling Russian spetsnaz tries to destroy an enormous Ukrainian S-300 missile from yards away with his gun - only to be engulfed by enormous blast when it explodes
Daily Mail ^ | 7/6/2022 | David Averre

Shocking footage has emerged of the moment a Russian soldier attempted to destroy a Ukrainian missile launcher from close range with dramatic and potentially lethal consequences.

The clip, shared on a pro-Russian channel on social media and messaging app Telegram, shows one of Putin's fighters taking aim at an abandoned Ukrainian S-300 missile launcher sitting mere yards away.

After taking a few moments to compose himself, the soldier squeezes the trigger of his PKM machine gun, presumably expecting to damage the hardware or perhaps set off a minor explosion to render it inoperable.

A split second later the missile launcher erupts into an enormous explosion, sending gouts of flame blasting toward the lone gunman and his comrade holding the camera.

YOU posting about Patton is an insult. You’re the kind of ‘man’ Patton would’ve bitch slapped for cowardice. Go put on a uniform.

A description of what these vehicles are carrying would help clarify what “winning” refers to.

Pretty sad what the WW3 cheerleaders are left to brag about, considering the results on the battlefield.

well I wouldnt call that engulfed... both the the shooter and the camera man both walked away unharmed would be my bet. More “Bad Russia” sensationalism by the press corps...

You sound like a Democrat. “If you don’t want to fellate Putin, you want WWIII.”

The Russians attacked the Ukrainians to get oil fields

I hope they fail and die miserable deaths. I laugh at this idiot burning to death. I hope his parents are watching and crying. And I hope they get pissed and go kill some of your KGB buddies.

That doesn’t mean I support troops or anything else there.

That doesn’t mean I think the Ukes are any kind of prize, either. They’re just the lesser of the evils.

“You sound like a Democrat. “If you don’t want to fellate Putin, you want WWIII.””

Not sure what you’re talking about - I’m only referring to both the US and Russian nuclear arsenals being on high alert due to our involvement in Ukraine...which makes nuclear just one misunderstanding away.

“...he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously.”

Europeans are not immune to devious thinkers, just as Asiatics are not uniformly devious in their thinking.

For all of Patton’s success on the battlefield and his charisma as a general, that does not make him perfect, as his remarks about Russians being “Mongolian savages” would testify.

He didn’t attempt to destroy it; he destroyed it. The only question is what happened to him, which is disputed. I tend to come down on the side of “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” He could have fired from 200-300 yards away and not been close to the explosion.

Liberals have always been triggered by General Patton’s honest truth telling about Russians.

“So, he was successful?”
**************************

He was indeed. And in a much more interesting fashion than destroying Ukrainian S-300 missiles from the air or by artillery which are the usual means the Russians use to attrit Ukrainian weaponry.

He also has a new story to entertain his grandchildren with down the road.
