Apocalyptic Scene: Desperate Escape From Kursk on the Road of Death

March 2025

A video shot by a Ukrainian serviceman perfectly conveys the atmosphere of a tense "journey" along the bypass road near the N-07/R-200 highway in Sudzha.

A drone operator from the Rubicon center spots a Ukrainian pickup truck as it attempts to leave Russian territory. However, the FPV drone strikes very close to the vehicle, without causing critical damage.

The driver, realizing that their location has been revealed, accelerates and approaches one of the buildings of the Sudzha checkpoint, hoping to take cover there. But by this time, a second FPV drone has caught up with them, and the Ukrainian servicemen have no choice but to try to intercept it. Luckily for them, the drone misses its target by just a few centimeters.

Realizing that their position has been discovered and that only a few minutes remain before the next raid by a new drone of the Rubicon center operators, the Ukrainian military set off again.

At the end of the video, you can see the pickup truck lose its right rear wheel, but continue on its way through the Ukrainian Armed Forces' logistics tunnel, protected by anti-drone nets.

All this takes place against the backdrop of an apocalyptic landscape, where the broken hulks of the equipment of less fortunate brothers-in-arms gradually dissolve with the rays of the setting sun.
