Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

“The first time I really felt genuine fear was on November 30, when I had to step into a position I had not been on before. Accordingly, I did not build it and its reliability was inferior to the previous ones I had occupied.

The shelling began again from the damn SPG-9. (Recoilless Gun) And at one point it began to fly closer and closer. The explosions were very close. I simply froze, squeezed as much as possible into the bottom of the trench (approximately 1.3 m deep) and tried to keep my mouth open.

At that moment, it seemed to me that the next explosion would hit the embankment in front of me and I would see this explosion and that would be the end of me.

Then I felt the natural fear of death for the first time. I began to shake and literally broke into a cold sweat. After that, there were feelings like stomach pains and a very depressed mood. At one point I even wanted to cry. But God saved me, the arrival of the final explosion did not happen.

The SPG-9 simply stopped firing, very strange, because they were already almost shooting directly at our trench, but simply stopped. Then we had fun with a Russian drone and gas grenades, but we managed.

We even managed to shoot down that drone, because the operator began to act very brazenly and hover over our trenches. After we shot down the bird, there was peace and we managed to get out unscathed.”
