Video of the Day: Young Soldier ‘Video Games’ Kamikaze Drone Into Enemy Truck

Our friend Dmitri from War Translated published this on his Twitter feed the other day. It is too good not to share.

This young Ukrainian soldier appears to be flying a drone into the back of an enemy truck.

Yes, the truck appears to be empty, and although there is some kind of explosion, the truck keeps moving forward. But (and this is a big but) keep this in mind: what we are looking at here is the convergence of live stream video gaming and kinetic combat air strikes. Sure, we’ve seen this before with other drone strike footage, but for some reason, this particular video seems to be blurring the line between war and war games.

The original source of the video is the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

The lad needs his own livestream on Twitch, I'd be watching this content daily 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/4YZoGTnr7x
