GoPro footage released by Russian sources to Telegram shows a group of what is allegedly Russian Soldiers attempting to shoot down a Ukrainian drone carrying drone deployed munitions. They fail to shoot the small commercial drone down and are instead hit by the falling bomblet.

Out of all the combat footage we've seen from Ukraine in the last year, this video is probably the best representation of troops on the ground having the rest of their lives to solve a simple problem. The problem they're presented with is a Ukrainian drone armed with munitions hovering over their position. Their only solution is to shoot the drone down using their rifles before the drone deploys said munition directly on top of them.

Ultimately, they fail to solve the problem. It's unclear what happened to the Russians outside of the building.
