Ukrainian Soldier Survives Grenade Blast
Published 3 months ago
Helmet cam combat footage from Ukraine's Azov 3rd Assault Brigade shows a soldier taking the brunt of a grenade blast and then receiving treatment for his injuries.
The soldier is later shown with a tourniquet applied to the distal portion of his bandaged arm, suggesting life-threatening arterial bleeding was present. However, many previous videos have shown us that Ukrainian troops apply tourniquets liberally to many extremity injuries that don't necessarily warrant their use.
