Translated from source:

Russians should not run away from Ukrainian drones - they will die of exhaustion.

This is a masterful video.

The Signum unit of the 93rd brigade found a Russian officer and began to pursue him with an FPV droneπŸ’₯

The occupant ran for a long time, hid, pretended to be dead and fired back with a pistol. But all this did not save him - he was eventually eliminated. Three of his subordinates were also destroyed.

Thank you Signum for the great work and you for the donations for the drones!

At this point I'm not sure that Russian soldiers are even taught that surrendering is a thing you can do. So many I've seen in completely unwinnable and imminently fatal situations yet they refuse to surrender to the Ukrainians.

Propaganda tells them they get eaten or such.

Crazy country they come from.

I don't understand why none of them attempt to shoot at the drone following them.

He did in the video

Really? I must've missed it. I did skip ahead a bit after the first 30-45 seconds of running.

It's also in the description of the post

They'll need to start issuing shotguns if they want "shoot the drone" to be a viable tactic. Pistols and rifles aren't going to do the job.
