A Russian soldier surrenders to a Ukrainian drone and is attacked by his comrades

Drones have become protagonists of the war in Ukraine and are being used massively by Russian and Ukrainian troops to carry out selective attacks, bombings or surveillance work.. Their presence, however, causes terror among the soldiers fighting on the front lines and who fear for their lives when one of these unmanned devices flies over their heads.

This is what happened near Bakhmut, where a Russian soldier dropped his weapon and surrendered in the presence of a Ukrainian drone, begging for that flying device not to drop any explosive charges on his head.

The images, recorded by the drone itself and spread through Telegram by the Ukrainian commander Yuri Ferodrenko, have quickly gone viral on the internet because the entire sequence is perfectly appreciated.

When the soldier is surprised by the Ukrainian drone in a trench near Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region, he quickly puts down his weapon and gestures asking that his position not be bombed.

The Ukrainian army then decided to send him a message via another drone, a note written in a marker that read “Give up and follow the drone.”

Given this message, the Russian soldier assured that if he surrendered and followed the Ukrainian instructions, he would be shot by his own colleagues from the Russian army, who were in nearby positions.. However, the soldier finally agrees to surrender and follow the Ukrainian drone until it reaches territory controlled by Kiev troops, a dangerous journey in which he had to dodge bullets from Russian troops.

Finally, he managed to reach the Ukrainian positions and was taken prisoner.. “Our team sent you a note with the request that you surrender and follow the drone.. He agreed, although his comrades shot him in the back,” Commander Ferodrenko said on his Telegram account.
