This footage depicts the strike and aftermath of a Ukrainian kamikaze (suicide) drone on a Russian position.

The video begins from the perspective of the striking drone. At 0:05 seconds, a second camera records the impact at different distances. 0:18 seconds in, a Russian soldier shakes open a bottle of water to extinguish the flames on his left arm. All things considered, he’s very calm, with almost a long-suffering “Mondays…” sort of vibe. No audio, although “Burning For You” by Blue Oyster Cult would have been a strong choice.
