The Telegram channel of Russia's 3rd Combined Arms Army, known as '3rd Shock', posted a video on August 21 showing an FPV drone attacking a man near the village of Vasylivska Pustosh in the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk region. The footage was flagged by the Telegram channels Molotov news and Astra.
In the video, a man wearing a cap and carrying a backpack—with no identifying marks or weapons—rides a bicycle along a dirt road. When he notices the FPV drone taking off in front of him, he stops, begins to back away, and tries to dismount, after which the drone strikes him.
The video was accompanied by a caption: 'Servicemen of the 2nd Artillery Brigade destroyed enemy manpower using FPV drones. Once again, the enemy loses personnel and their shelters; there is nowhere left for our fighters to hide.'
On August 23, the video was removed, Astra noted. Only the video was deleted—the accompanying text remained.
