‘Our task is to laugh at these enemies’: the Ukrainian unit posting drone videos of Russian soldiers’ last moments

Summary

A Ukrainian military unit called "Magyar’s Birds" uses drone videos to track and record Russian soldiers during the war in Ukraine. These videos show the moments before the deaths of the soldiers and are shared online to warn Russians about the dangers of joining the conflict and to lower enemy morale.

Key Facts

  • A military editor named Catman selects and edits these videos into short compilations shared online.
  • The purpose is to discourage Russian mobilization by showing the true dangers of the war.
  • Many Russian soldiers appear untrained and unaware of the risks, some dying soon after joining.
  • Since Elon Musk stopped Starlink internet service in Russia, communication problems have worsened for Russian forces.
