Gruesome video reportedly shows a wounded Russian Wagner PMC commander, identified as "Cherdash," take his own life to avoid being killed by the hovering weaponized Ukrainian quadcopter drone.

The Russian militant appears to have sustained a spinal injury as he is motionless from the waist down. He points his rifle to his chest, but the footage of him actually pulling the trigger is edited out. In the next scene he is already dead when the grenades begin to fall.
