Azov Battalion Explosive Device Injures and Kills Russian Troops
Published 2 years ago
Footage captured by an Azov Battalion drone captures an unknown explosive device detonating near a group of Russian Soldiers. Some appear to be seriously wounded while others appear to have died.
I can't speak with too much authority on this video, primarily due to the quality. It appears as if the drone controller station was recorded by a mobile phone which hyper compressed the footage we're seeing. We know that the footage was recorded in Mariupol, and that the people recording were the Azov Battalion. We can also tell that the troops on the ground are Russian based on the identification markers on the armor the troops are standing around.
We're not going to get too into the specifics here however, as there's a lot of speculation on this video. We have a vast community of people who watch a lot of combat footage, so we'd love to hear from you down in the comments section. My theory is that there was either a booby trap or an improvised explosive device under the tree that was most likely triggered by a Russian Soldier that we can't see on camera. Something that's also worth point out is that Will (one of my co-writers) believes there is a slight edit just before the explosion, which could point to the footage being doctored.
Let us know down in the comments what you think. If more information becomes available, we'll update this post.
