Brief retelling from RIA II

A Marine soldier with the call sign Chinese in the Zaporozhye region evacuated the wounded under mortar fire.

During the evacuation, the Marine was attacked by Ukrainian drones, including two heavy Baba Yaga-type drones.

Despite the shrapnel wound he received, the serviceman was able to escape from the drones and complete the evacuation.

DONETSK, June 19 – RIA Novosti. A Marine Corps soldier as part of the Russian Vostok group with the call sign Chinese told RIA Novosti how, during the evacuation of the wounded in the Zaporozhye region, he himself was wounded and found himself under attack by Ukrainian drones, including two heavy Baba Yaga-type drones.

According to a Marine from the 40th Guards Brigade, while removing the wounded from their positions, the group came under mortar fire. He ordered his colleagues to retreat to cover, while he continued to carry out the task. The enemy then sent an FPV drone with an incendiary mixture towards his position.

“I was taking out wounded soldiers, I was also wounded. Movement began, and mortars started firing at me. The guys listened to the command and rolled away behind me slowly. Then an FPV drone flew in with an incendiary mixture. I shot it down,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

After this, according to the Marine, two heavy Baba Yaga drones capable of carrying mortar ammunition began to pursue him.

“After I shot him down, two “Baba Yagas” flew in. Each “Baba Yaga” carries six shells for an 82-mm mortar - high-explosive fragmentation. Many people say that it is impossible to escape from the “Baba Yaga”. I ran away from two “grandmothers”,” said the Chinese.

The serviceman noted that during the pursuit he received a shrapnel wound, but continued to move through open areas without shelter.

“I received a shrapnel wound, but it allowed me to move. I ran through an area where there were no trees or bushes. I think that the capabilities of the human body have not been studied very much, because on adrenaline you can (run away - ed.),” the Marine added.
