Still need semi functional body parts for adrenaline to work on though, that his inner ear didn't get pulverised by the blast wave so badly he couldn't tell up from down seems like a small miracle alone.
From the video description, he was wearing a helmet. Not that that would likely be enough to withstand explosives. If anything, I'm guessing it forced it slightly upwards, deflecting it somewhat into and somewhat over his helmet.
Get ready to live in a world with 1950s technology, because the most effective way to defeat armies of drones is to EMP the shit out of everything. Unfortunately all your consumer electronics will get fried as well.
It's entirely possible that the rotors leaned forward on the drone and he hit it on the top of the vehicle, and the explosives are designed to explode downwards. That could have happened.
That might be part of it yeah. I kept rewatching to pinpoint the explosion epicenter, which does seem to be on him, because the blast felt like it was further away from him. If it was a shaped charge and his headbutt tilted the drone to face the charge away from him that could explain the lopsided blast.
I also wonder if having his head down from the headbutt managed to place his helmet in just the right position to make it an impromptu full-coverage blast shield for his skull, just to take a fraction more energy away from the impact.
Alive, but there’s no way he didn’t walk away with some serious brain damage and probably lifelong headaches. Thats not even getting into the fact that he somehow doesn’t have sepsis or serious infection from a wound that visceral. I’d say it’s a modern miracle.
Gents, I don't have words...
No one will ever believe him without this footage.
This is the single most unbelievable thing I've ever seen in the history of warfare.
And yeah, he's alive. At least for the video.
I just had to share this.
Not only alive, but jogged away unaided.
I don't know how the fuck that happened but I can only hope this is the begining of a new era of warriors training to headbutt robots to death.
The adrenalin dump probably kept him going, regardless of whatever wounds he may have received.

I wonder if it forced the blast downwards, can't say I have kept up to date on the construction of attack drones.

Wait until AI can control those hundreds of drones without a team of
blinddrone operatorsbombing weddings and families collecting waterIt's entirely possible that the rotors leaned forward on the drone and he hit it on the top of the vehicle, and the explosives are designed to explode downwards. That could have happened.
I think even if we understood precisely what happened, we'd still call it a miracle.

Angry Cops on YT wants someone to try and replicate it for science, and it seems like it would be a fun project.

I'D give him 100% disability for the TBI he's guaranteed to have now, but I doubt Russia's version of the VA is up to my standards.
Maybe not for the average Russian soldier, but I bet they'll try to keep this guy alive so they can use the drone headbutter for propaganda purposes.
