Video released by Ukrainian drone pilots shows a Russian Soldier desperately trying to avoid an FPV drone strike. By a stroke of luck, the drone fails to impact the man, allowing him to survive the encounter. For whatever reason though, the Soldier then decides he needs to attempt to destroy the device by throwing his rifle and a large stick at it, which subsequently triggers the explosive killing the Russian.

This is exactly why your Sergeant told you not to play with unexploded ordinance while you're in the field. If this man had simply accepted his luck and walked away, this video likely never would have seen the light of day. Unfortunately for him, his emotions got the better of him in the moment and he decided to rage at the explosive which ultimately killed him.
