Watch as Putin’s desperate troops practise dodging kamikaze drones…by chucking their guns at them & doing karate rolls
Russian troops been filmed practising kamikaze drone evasion techniques – by throwing guns and rolling on the ground.
Soldiers can be seen dramatically rolling behind tires and throwing machine guns at the drones in an effort to throw it off course.

The clip left X users scratching their heads at the wacky evasion tecnique practice by Vladimir Putin‘s troops.
One person wrote: “That is the silliest thing that I’ve ever seen…throwing your rifle at the drone to try and stop it, but apparently it didn’t work because it kept on flying.”
Another added: “If throwing your weapon is the strategy …you have the wrong weapon…”
It comes as desperate Russian soldiers jumped out of a moving truck to escape a menacing kamikaze drone hunting them down.
Shocking footage shows a vehicle full of Putin’s men get hunted down and ruthlessly eliminated by a FPV drone.
The video shows the Russians speeding down the road as a lethal Ukrainian FPV drone chases after them.
The soldiers are captured desperately trying to jump out of the vehicle, with one man ahead of the rest – looking to save himself.
One soldier appears to make it out, bizarrely still holding his massive gun while his pals don’t escape in time.
Meanwhile, a Russian soldier threw his Kalashnikov machine gun at FPV drone to cheat death.
Dramatic footage shows the fighter’s weapon triggering a major blast at an FPV drone aiming to kill him and his comrade.
The Russian pair had been repeatedly shooting at the buzzing flyer loaded with explosives as they were ambushed in the open near the frontline.
They failed to hit the darting drone which gradually came closer to the soldiers.
The Ukrainian remote pilot must have believed he was going for the kill but in desperation – and just one second from death – the Russian trooper threw his weapon at the drone.
This triggered a large explosion, and the soldier fell backwards on the ground.
He did not suffer any serious injuries as he was far away enough from the blast, reports say.
The other cornered fighter also avoided the force of the blast.
Footage from a separate incident shows a desperate Russian soldier catching a kamikaze drone, before dropping it and sparking a fatal explosion.
Aerial footage shows the man being relentlessly stalked by a Ukrainian UAV loaded with explosives.
Putin’s fighter is seen desperately running for his life as the UAV buzzes around him in close up footage filmed from the drone itself.
At one point he catches the flying bomb and – clutching it in his hand – keeps running.
But then he slows down, dropping the device and causing it to detonate in a huge explosion, instantly killing him.
His body could be seen lying on the road in the war zone, with unconfirmed reports suggesting it was Kursk, still held by Ukraine.
Ukraine invaded Kursk through the Sumy border-region on August 6 – taking Vladimir Putin’s armies by surprise and stealing swathes of territory.
They now claim to control over 500 square miles of Putin’s territory in Russia’s worst defeat on home soil since World War Two.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky said the blitz was part of a master plan to help end the war.
It served a humiliating blow to Putin’s efforts – as the so-called “special operation” he said would last just weeks in early 2022 approaches the three-year mark.
Since early 2023, the cheap, explosive, flying machines have become one of Kyiv’s biggest success stories on the battlefield.
Ukraine’s “Achilles” troops are specialised drone warfare units within the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, playing a pivotal role in Ukraine’s ongoing defence against Russian forces.
These troops have gained recognition for their expertise in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in combat, particularly in repelling Russian assaults and destroying enemy equipment.
The battalion operates highly effective UAVs, such as the “Vampire” drones, which have been instrumental in targeting Russian positions and equipment, particularly in nighttime operations.
How Russia is using war wolves to combat drones
By Nick Parker, Foreign Editor
RUSSIA has deployed war wolves on the Ukraine front line — because the beasts react early to kamikaze drone sounds.
Troops say the howling animals have a good sense of smell, are sociable and active, and can warn of danger in advance.
Two tamed wolves have been sent to serve with Vladimir Putin’s soldiers and more will follow if the experiment is a success.
A Russian news agency reported: “The predators can hear the approach of drones and warn of danger in advance.
“They will help Russian soldiers carry out combat missions in the [war] zone.”
The two females were rescued from Siberian region Khakassia and raised by wolf-tamer Aleksandr Konchakov.
In a video, he can be seen feeding ice cream to one of the wolves, called Vysota.
He said: “The puppies were simply brought to me by hunters without a mother.
“They have excellent intuition and are smart.”
Moscow State Circus chief Edgard Zapashny said: “I hope these two female wolves, who will now be with our fighters, will not be harmed, and that the men will surround them with care and ensure their safety.
“In turn, they will save the lives of our soldiers.”
‘It used to do my head in’ – Aaron Ramsdale reveals what upset him most at Arsenal after being benched for David Raya
AARON RAMSDALE revealed the one thing that bothered him the most after being replaced as Arsenal’s starting goalkeeper by David Raya.
Ramsdale, 26, impressed between the Gunners’ sticks during the 2022-23 campaign as he helped Mikel Arteta’s men come close to the Premier League title and was named in the PFA Team of the Year.
However, the now Southampton star was immediately overtaken by Raya, 29, last season when he arrived on loan from Brentford before ultimately signing a permanent deal in the summer.
That led the England international to a £25million move to St Mary’s during the summer transfer window.
The keeper broke his silence about his time on the North Londoners’ bench with a surprise revelation as to what he hated the most about his predicament.
Cameras would often switch to Ramsdale watching on with the rest of the subs every time Raya committed a blunder in goal last season.
And the ex-Sheffield United star was absolutely livid every time the TV crews panned to him trying to get his reaction.
Ramsdale told the BBC: “It used to do my head in.
“Coming off the pitch and then my wife would say, ‘You were on TV five times again today’.
“Why someone would pan to me when someone makes a save or a goal goes in and it pans to me on the bench.
“I do think the story was bigger than what it needed to be. I do think it put pressure on David at time as well.”
Ramsdale returns to the Emirates on Saturday for the first time as an opponent since his move to Southampton.
And the shot stopper revealed Raya was the first one to text him after his departure to Saints.
Ramsdale added: “I did an interview with David Seaman about my new contract and how I wanted to emulate him and be there for eight, 10 years. A couple of months later I was out of the team.
“I tried my hardest to dislodge David out of the team. I do think now the rewards are showing. He’s started the season incredibly well.
“He was actually the first person to text me on my move here from the boys at Arsenal. But no he was great, he was top.
“Like I say he’s made some big, big saves this season and kept them in some games. I’m just desperate he doesn’t have one of those games again on Saturday.”
