Escape and disguise will not save you - we will find you and destroy you.

White flag? Have Russian invaders been flying it falsely, or does Ukraine just not care? (Legit question, I haven’t heard about this. I stand with Ukraine.)

If they wanted to wave a white flag you get out of the vehicle and disarm not drive away with your weapons

Tbf I’m pretty sure if they stopped the vehicle the bomb would have reached them sooner, if they piled out it likely would have turned the vehicle to shrapnel before they got far enough away to then safely surrender.
And I’m not sure the drone operator had enough time to even register the signal and change the direction of the drone. Human reaction time is about .5sec from decision to action, and on top of that add “is that even within the realm of possibility for drone maneuverability,” it honestly kinda seems like they were just fucked on timing.

The white flag is, per international treaties, a signal you want to communicate with the other side regarding a truce or surrender. It’s not a free “get out of jail” card when you’re retreating.

Maybe driving the wrong way and well… not stopping. I’ve also seen videos of mobiks pretending to surrender and then throwing grenades.

It looks as if they’re not surrendering but fleeing and this is a last, desperate attempt to not be a statistic
