Photos of the Ukrainian commander of the drone unit “Ptakhi Madyar” (Magyar Birds) in Bakhmut went viral on the day Yevgeny Prigozhin put Vladimir Putin in serious trouble. Robert Browdy looks at a tablet to watch the infighting in Russia while eating popcorn.

Ukrainian commander Robert Brovdi, known as “The Magyar”, was filmed by his wife as he “attacked” a large amount of popcorn as he watched with interest what was happening in Russia on Saturday as Prigozhin’s troops marched into Moscow to decapitate the Russian leadership army.

The unit under the leadership of Brovdi is a tactical unmanned reconnaissance formation. The unit became famous in social networks largely thanks to a video published by its commander, one of the most famous Ukrainian soldiers.

Numerous videos posted on social media of the fighting around Bakhmut, where Russian troops began their offensive in early August 2022, have shown the crucial role of reconnaissance drones on this part of the front, where they are used to closely coordinate artillery strikes and ground operations. .

A wave of irony after the Prigozhin uprising

While Russians were caught off guard by what was happening in their country, after a year and 4 months of propaganda that covered up the events of the war, Ukrainians and others mocked the situation in which Russian President Vladimir Putin found himself, even his ally, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Most assumed that it all ended too quickly and they did not have time to consume the huge amount of popcorn that suddenly disappeared from stores at the beginning of the internal conflict in Russia.

The netizen also imagines a scene in which the main character is US President Joe Biden, who is having a discussion with Kyiv: “Are we happy? do you want popcorn Not F16 planes?”.
