It is one of thousands of videos from the war in Ukraine. You see two Russian soldiers in a trench, they still have a few seconds to live. The drone is a hundred, maybe two hundred meters above them, they don’t notice it. Then an object comes loose, the camera watches as it hits the target. When the grenade hits, a cloud of dust rises from the trench. After she has moved, two bodies can be seen on the floor. They twitch in agony, their helmets bright dots on dark earth.
