More footage of drones hunting Russian infantry, and the 47th Brigade watermark indicates the action occurred in or around Avdiivka. Three Russian soldiers are trekking through the woods, one of whom is carrying a jug instead of a rifle, ostensibly to collect water. The run for whatever sparse cover the skeletal trees can provide, likely having spotted the reconnaissance drone. An FPV drone drops out of the sky into the midst of the three, and while two members of the trio manage to dart out of the way, the device explodes under the bum of the most alert of the three soldiers. The explosion causes him to crumple and ignites some pyrotechnic devices that he was carrying. His two companions take a quick look to see if he is alive, see that the drone is still watching, and then back away. Drones continue to stalk the survivors, one of whom attempts to drop the observation drone with his rifle. While the two soldiers are occupied, an FPV drone drops in from behind, bringing the encounter to a close. The cats won this round, and some mice lost while the rest will go thirsty.
