Video: An African mercenary fighting for Russia broke down in tears after his motorcycle was destroyed by a Ukrainian FPV drone

A video has surfaced online showing an African mercenary serving with Russian forces reacting emotionally to the destruction of his motorcycle by a Ukrainian FPV drone.

In the footage, the soldier films his burning motorcycle, which was likely struck by a Ukrainian drone. 

The man does not hide his emotions and, in tears, tells his comrades about the FPV drone strike.

After the motorcycle was destroyed, the Russian soldier was left without his primary means of transportation. The loss of his vehicle was so painful for him that he broke down in tears right in front of the camera.

The video shows the motorcycle engulfed in flames, while the mercenary tries to explain to the other soldiers what happened.

Ukrainian FPV drones are regularly used by the Defense Forces to target Russian equipment and personnel on the front lines.

However, the circumstances surrounding the video’s release and the exact location where it was filmed have not been specified.

The video has surfaced online. 

As a reminder, pilots from the SIGNUM battalion of the 59th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces are striking along the Mariupol–Chongar highway, which serves as a key logistics route for Russian troops to the temporarily occupied Crimea.

As a result of a nighttime Russian missile attack on the night of August 5, production and logistics facilities belonging to the company “Epicenter” sustained significant damage. One employee was killed, and three others were injured. 

As a result of a Russian drone attack on August 4 in Dnipro, a warehouse belonging to the company “Biosfera”—which was part of a 20,000-square-meter warehouse complex—was completely destroyed.
