A Ukrainian drone, sent on a bombing run to kill a Russian soldier, instead provided aid for the enemy before taking him as a prisoner.
Hunkered down in a trench underneath a dirt arch, the Russian survived five separate grenade explosions dropped by the drone, during what is believed to be a late summer’s day on a battlefield in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. cnc machining parts
Upon return to the battlefield, the drone — manned by the K-2 Battalion of Ukrainian Army’s 54th Brigade’s — discovers the Russian soldier lying on his back, hands together, pleading for his life to be spared, according to dramatic footage shared to social media.
“Returning after reloading, our pilot saw that the occupier wanted to surrender,” the video caption read.
The pilot, seeing the pleas, dropped the deadly ammunition.
The soldier began moving in the “wrong” direction, forcing the drone pilot to block his path.
The “exhausted enemy” collapsed and began begging for water as he couldn’t walk further.
The drone’s pilot dropped a bottle of water and a note, as the Russian fighter made a sign of the cross, thanking the drone for sparing his life and providing the water.
“Follow the drone on top of the trenches,” the note read.
The soldier followed the drone out of the battlefield, falling several times to rest, even asking for a smoke break.
At one point the fighter’s comrades shot at him as he rested.
“The Russian’s path through an open field. In it, our soldiers repeatedly stopped enemy offensives and destroyed vehicles,” the battalion said.
The drone eventually led the fighter to a trench, where Ukrainian soldiers captured the “enemy stormtrooper.”

President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday night that his former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Tom Homan will serve as \u201cborder czar\u201d when he retakes the White House in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump revealed the personnel appointment in a Truth Social post as he begins piecing together his next administration after he easily topped Vice President Kamala Harris in the race to become the 47th president last Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation\u2019s Borders ('The Border Czar'), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security,\u201d Trump wrote online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homan\u2019s new role won\u2019t require confirmation by the US Senate, unlike other cabinet appointments including ICE director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Billionaire Elon Musk applauded the latest announcement by Trump late Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homan said on Fox News\u2019 \u201cSunday Morning Futures\u201d that ICE would carry out Trump\u2019s massive deportation plan in a \u201chumane manner\u201d in which the military would not be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a well-targeted, planned operation conducted by the men of ICE. The men and women of ICE do this daily. They\u2019re good at it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we go out there, we\u2019re going to know who we\u2019re looking for. We most likely know where they\u2019re going to be, and it\u2019s going to be done in a humane manner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt's not OK to enter a country illegally, which is a crime. That's what drives illegal immigration, when there's no consequences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Biden-Harris administration has proven this, you can get to the border, turn yourselves in, get released within 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
