Russian mobile fire group training goes wrong while using a YakB-12.7 rotary machine gun originally built for Mi-24 helicopters.
The YakB-12.7 has massive angular recoil, and this incident is on whoever decided to use it as a stationary machine gun.
Built for a Mi-24 helicopter mount, it needs proper horizontal fixation if repurposed for ground use. Here, it looks like they simply put it on a static mount and tried to fire it like a regular machine gun.
No one got hurt, but boy did it get close to a very bloody mess.
