Snapped that huge tree like a twig, and then it fell on them!

I’m trying not to laugh, because people were surely injured.

Not a fan of the orcs and glad they ran into trouble but why were they fleeing? Nothing in the video showed anything immediately following them.

Oh well, who cares. The Russian army has been revealed to be a not very effective force.

I was thinking as they started the turn - nice driving - and then it hit the tree.

I think maybe the orcs were falling off because they were being shot. Note the Ukraine flag marker along the way.
