Considering the area, probably an RPG.

Allyoop bawk bawk.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Premature jihaculation.

Guy is standing in a ditch (?) explaining something to the camera.
There’s an “incoming whoosh” for a split second.
He begins to react.
AFAIK it impacts just behind him.
Frame-by-frame of whats next is posted above; bright flash and flurry and him taking on an indistinct shape.
Camera is impacted, apparently coming to rest under the now-motionless operator (or, perhaps, some of our video’s star).
Camera adjusts light levels revealing extreme-closeup of fingers & face.
Female wailing commences and continues.
Video ends.

A quote from Conan comes to mind.

You better Duck Sucka or you’ll be talking out your azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Awesome start of the day. The wailing and crying is probably from another man. The gurgling is the collapsed lungs of a jihadi. If he doesnt die from exsanguination from shrapnel, collapsed lungs will do him in.

Glad no "Alluah snackbars" were heard...may piss be upon his name.

Putin probably watching this over and over again.

Conan, what is best in life?

[TexasRepublic]

“Allah be praised, the infidels couldn’t hit the broad side of a mosque from that dist...” BOOM!

[Rockpile]

Would it be possible to catch the projectile just before it struck?

Considering the area, probably an RPG.

What I was thinking after I figured out how to view it frame by frame and saw him whip his head around, probably hearing the thing being fired.

[donozark]

Graphics not so good at this end. Seems like it came top down? Anyway, he be dead....

[Osage Orange]

Well...he got his 72!

Perhaps a really talented MLB baseball player with truly superb eye-hand coordination could catch the projectile.
Even then, he would need a really thick mitt and special protective garments to avoid serious bodily injury.

[Rockpile]

Ha ha

Really though, it would be kind of neatly cool to see the mortar shell just about to hit.

[Blue Jays]

Probably...if the initial footage was obtained using a high-quality camera and one had access to the original digital file rather than via YouTube.

[nomad]

I couldn`t, the video is probably too slow from a frame to frame stand point. But ask Freeper Bobalu, he did a screen catch and post earlier. It shows the moment of detonation, cool shot coverage and a well deserved way to go, for Bobalu.

Allahu ak....

If he sues would Wile E Coyote v Acme Corp apply here?
