ruSSian terrorists commit atrocity in Starobeshevo in Donetsk Oblast, hang body on wireSeptember 5, 2014 | 22:14
The body of a Ukrainian paratrooper was hanged on power lines in Starobeshevo. (video)
The village is controlled by DNR, who hanged body of a murdered Ukrainian paratrooper on a power line and proudly wrote about this crime in the internet.
In Irkutsk, a City Council member from the United Russia party, Gushchin, urged citizens, to "kill Ukrainians everywhere, not only in Novorossiya."
And he did it for an obvious reason: his main rival in the election to the local council is a man of Ukrainian descent with the surname Matsenko.
Russian propaganda works. The savagery didn't cause any indignation.
http://podrobnosti.ua/accidents/2014/09/05/992120.html You never seen the effects of a big(ish) high explosive shell I guess. The explosion of a GRAD warhead somewhere close to it can turn a more than two tons UAZ "jeep" to plane (for a short time of course), so throwing a 80-100 kg human onto the cables above the road isn't new or surprising. You can find similar pictures from WW I and WW II. An internal explosion in a AFV can also throw the crew several meters high if the hatches are open.
The half naked guy most likely the same stuff. Nearby explosions are tend to rip your clothes off. Combat vest and boots are usually doing well but as trousers are the most loose parts of the combat gear those are often go away.
BTW even the very, very civilized US, UK, German and French soldiers used to take pictures with dead enemies. So nothing new or unusual again. You can read a lot about the psychology behind these kind of pictures.
