This is the moment a Ukrainian kamikaze drone hits a Russian soldier in the head with pinpoint accuracy.
The footage shows the Russian soldier walking on the battlefield when the Ukrainian kamikaze drone flies up behind him and hits him in the back of the head, causing an explosion.
The video then shows the Russian soldier lying lifelessly on the ground as smoke rises into the air.

“Not every pilot is capable of hitting an orc in the head with a kamikaze drone while it is moving.”
The images and statement were also relayed by the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
