Footage shows a powerful Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drone detonating in close proximity to a group of Russian soldiers. The Russian troops appeared to have some warning as one man can be seen running while another attempts to shoot the incoming drone down.

The drone appears to actually collide with one of the Russian soldiers right as it detonates, sending his body skidding across the ground. The other two exposed soldiers likely received some degree of injury.

The operation was reportedly carried out be the Shadow recon unit of the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade.
