Someone, (probably a Russian infantry unit that had to scram because they are technically not supposed to be there), left a fully operational -albeit apparently stalled- BMP-2 Infantry Combat Vehicle in the middle of an intersection in Mariupol, Ukraine.

Abandoned.    Fully operational – but abandoned.

Apparently, curiosity got the best of the locals (who are probably sympathetic to the Russians who had to quickly disappear).   What happens next is not funny, but I’ll admit I just couldn’t stop laughing:

Watch the video.   With two precursor tips.  #1) Pay attention to the @50 sec. mark (duh, obviously).   But more importantly #2) listen to the person shout @1:05 (in English).

Thank God no-one was hurt. If they had been I would not have found humor after the third viewing, swear.

No, really, swear.

But did you hear the guy yell at the @1:05 mark? In case you can’t hear it, lemme help:

“F**k…. Oh, sorry about that” !

Seriously Uri ?

Seriously ?

He just had to find out what that “Hold and Squeeze” sequence was all about.

…And people wonder why Claymore Mines have two distinct warnings imprinted on the label.   The first says: “THIS SIDE TOWARD ENEMY” – The second: “DO NOT EAT”.
