Nothing more stoic than taking an angle grinder to a grenade whils wearing crocs.
“…wearing safety crocs…”
- FTFY
Hard to tell if he has his safety squints engaged though.
That’s not just a grenade, it’s a grenade grenade
Shorts and crocs. All he needed was a cigarette in his mouth while he did it.
I would just like to point out that I said Ukraine would do this back when the cluster munitions deal was first announced. I was somewhat downvoted and dismissed!
I would now like my useless and fake internet points to reflect the fact that I, an anonymous person with no military experience, was in fact, correct.
On a serious note, Ukrainian soldiers are brave as F.
I expect you to hang this in a prominent display cabinet and pass it on to your heirs to be placed in a national museum.
Dammit. The Vistaprint near me closed down. Now I can’t print this for mantle.
Are you Ryan M Beth? Precision is always better than taking out grid squares but sometimes you gotta take it the grid square. I’m anticipating they use both methods as needed.
I remember that convo. Howdy!!
1 video does not prove your guess.
Otherwise, I’ll call out the last “war on the rocks” to hear Koufman saying (as side note) that the cluster arty was only necessary because of lack of ‘normal’ arty. [Or was it the last Perun!?! Pointing out the lack of European commitment on increasing arty production…]
I demand a retraction.
I thought I vaguely remembered them saying that. Brilliant use of them
Exactly - Ukraine has inquired about such usage: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-wants-u-s-cluster-bombs-but-not-for-what-you-think
You’re as smart as the Ukrainians!
No. Not even close.
Eek! Those guys look like they know what they’re doing, but they still gotta have balls of Ukrainium to be playing with those things.
Upvoted just for “Ukrainium”
That was a solid cut, that man knows his way around an angle grinder.
That almost looks too clean to be a grinder cut.
These are brave people. What could possibly go wrong? If they do this often, there are bound to be casualties.
When you strap explosives to a drone… I kind of think that’s the intention.
True enough. But it’s still quite literally “playing with fire”. Maybe necessary, but terribly dangerous to the operators, too; much more so than most “refined” weapon systems. “Weapon Safety” is a thing.

My butthole clenched up when the angle grinder came out.
Vindication for Ryan McBeth lol
Is this why the US sent them a ton of cluster munitions?
I know there was a ton of concern since they leave behind UEO pretty badly on their own land. Using them for drone-delivered-precision weapons is pretty brilliant.
AFAIK, the main reason was to fill a shortage of standard artillery shells and to help clear trenches. Disassembly, as you can see, is somewhat dangerous.
The main reason was it looks good for PR and countries that donated them no longer want to maintain a weapon they can’t use.
I’ll agree with the second half of your statement. Storage and disposal is expensive.
I doubt this is why, but I’m sure it’s better used that way if they do it.
call an Швидка допомога … but not for me
there were also Rockeye-like submunitions used this way
