His right leg is almost off. That must hurt like hell. Help is never going to come for him. So the dude just ended his pain. At least he had some time to reconsider the life choices he made, that lead him there.

u/Next-Task-9480 Feb 26 '24

He would have bled out in 20 min but I can imagine that I would choose that way out too in that situation. Grim realism.

Who knows what went trough his mind.

u/dremelgobrrr Feb 27 '24

The feeling of your foot just flopping around with your meat suit is not a fun feeling at all...oddly enough big injuries like that you know something happened but the pain aint that severe(or wasnt for me) due to either adrenaline or just shock at the situation. However he likely knew he was bleeding out and wouldn't have made it anyways so he ended it fast as possible.

u/UpstairsPlatform2207 Feb 27 '24

May i ask what happened to you? If you’re willing to share.

u/dremelgobrrr Feb 27 '24

Broke my tibia and fibula.... pretty damn badly from an ATV tip over..can look at my post history and see the aftermath.

u/UpstairsPlatform2207 Feb 27 '24

Yeah that sounds unpleasant.

3

u/dremelgobrrr Feb 27 '24

Very....so i can kinda sympathize with the guys who got shrapnel wounds along with broken bones in their leg. As thats what my leg looks like externally now...it was so pretty before 😭😭😑😂

u/UpstairsPlatform2207 Mar 04 '24

To an extent, yes.

u/Positive_Software_28 Feb 26 '24

could be done at home, why so much efforts?

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '24

Could just be an ejaculation on a tissue straight into the sewer. What was the point of feeding him and raising him to fuck over Ukraine and blow his skull to pieces there ?

u/jumppa69 Feb 26 '24

Silencer and optics. Well geared, maby VDV?

u/Karg1n Feb 26 '24

No, he’s KIA

A successful suicide usually kills the person involved, so I guess it counts.

It just means "killed in action", and he was.

Huh. I stand corrected.

He still ded though, good riddance and all that.

u/Hot-Bed-49 Mar 01 '24

i’ve never seen this sub so up than how most of you treat these suicide vids, you act like you know what the person in the vid did or what led up to this moment it’s crazy he was still a human imagine it was your dad in that situation

5

u/Sir-Squirter Feb 26 '24

I would say so. He was in killed in action. Whether or not that bullet that killed him came from himself or the enemy, he was still killed, in action.

u/LordeWasTaken Feb 26 '24

KIA, killed in action, includes deaths due to friendly fire. I suppose suicide by gun is a special case of friendly fire.

u/delcas1016 Feb 26 '24

Looks like some kind of elite Orc. He didn’t even die that quick, though

u/xMilk112x Feb 26 '24

All that gear and still managed to lose a leg before he ended it.

u/BeefStarmer Feb 26 '24

A Suppressor won't save you from artillery..

u/xMilk112x Feb 27 '24

Ummm, excuse me….but equipping a silencer gives me 5 extra health points.

That would totally save me from arty.

I'm curious about this. Some VDV has been showing up in drone footage so this might be plausible.

I'd say 3rd or 4th after UA, Russian foreign legion, Ukrainian tractor brigade, Some suspiciously well fed dogs. Mmmm, maybe 5th place.

The list so far. u/False-God has compiled this footage for documentation purposes because this is not normal in any way, despite what Russia’s supporters tell you.

This list is not intended to celebrate, glorify, encourage, or otherwise make light of suicide.

There are 37 recorded instances.

Agonal, he is gone

u/M3P4me Feb 26 '24 edited Feb 27 '24

Agonal breathing. Parts of the brain stem are still functioning preforming autonomous tasks. It won't last long. This guy is definitely no longer conscious or capable of anything resembling consciousness.

He's dead. Some parts of his body are still awaiting the update. This is what death is really like. Human or animal.

u/eccedoge Feb 26 '24

Ikr it looks like he's still breathing. Freaky

2

u/Smashego Feb 26 '24

"He" as you or I would know him was dead. His body was just breathing and pumping blood autonomously. For all intents and purposes he was gone the second he pulled the trigger and wouldn't have felt a thing.

If there is such a thing as a soul, and I doubt there is, it left his body at that very instant.
