Russian troops testing a new anti-drone ‘mobile fire unit’ almost killed one of their own soldiers when a repurposed helicopter machine gun spun out of control and sprayed bullets across a training ground.
In video widely shared by military bloggers this week, a Yak-B 12.7mm heavy machine gun, hastily mounted on a flatbed truck, can be seen whipping round at high speed, hurling the primary gunner from his position and sending live fire in all directions during an undisclosed exercise.

All I have to say: 🤣
Wow, Then the guy who almost got shot grabs the hot barrel
I imagine his brain wasn’t working at 100% after nearly becoming a puddle.
He’s in the Russian military; his brain hasn’t been working at 100% for a long time, maybe ever.
Hey, he figured out that he needed to duck in the required amount of time. So - half credit?
