    Seems like that second guy could have been doing more. Didn’t seem to care about the drone or even pull his gun out to try and shoot it down. I don’t think he realized how much danger he was in

    I’d be interested to see what their injuries were if they indeed die

    The drone didn’t explode that close to them and they were presumably wearing body armor

  3. Having watched a lot of combat footage over the past years Ive seen a lot and this was a bit hard to make sense of as to why this was so lethal and why the guy who shoots at the FPV just keeled over after it went off. The other guy seemed to definitely take the brunt of that strike 100% , but shooter seems to take a step, look around, and just crumples. And my two theories as to what happened are,
    1. The FPV explosive is full of ball bearings and they have gotten really good at packing them in to make a hell of a frag. Lots of little holes to bleed from and have a bit of a late reaction to.

    Or 2. In addition to being a frag style FPV, I assume a lot of FPV explosives use a thermobaric explosive to pack an extra punch against the “bunkers” and trench dugouts, so the dude that just kinda crumpled had the adverse effects of a thermobaric explosive, just outside as opposed to in a bucket or closed space.
    TLDR: I thought this looked weird and overthought an answer while I ate my breakfast

  4. Dude’s looked they don’t know how lethal an FPV drone is. A couple of shots in its general direction will not save them.
