Spanish YouTuber Rubén Díez, known globally as @lethalcrysis, embarks on his most dangerous journey yet: deep into the war in Ukraine.
Known for filming in remote tribes and extreme environments, this is Rubén's first time in a war zone, embedding with Ukrainian forces on the eastern front to capture the human reality of modern warfare.
Across days on the front line, he gains unprecedented access to Ukrainian drone units, operating from secret bunkers hidden beneath rural villages. Here, soldiers fly first-person-view (FPV) kamikaze drones, single-use, high-precision weapons now responsible for up to 80% of battlefield casualties.
These drones can slip through forests, into vehicles, or even through the hatch of a tank, making them one of the deadliest innovations in military history.
Rubén then travels to the trenches, dug deep into the earth, eerily reminiscent of World War I, where Ukrainian troops live under constant threat from Russian drones and artillery.
Every step risks detection, which can mean death within seconds. Explosions shake the ground, drones buzz overhead, and moments of calm are shattered without warning. It’s here that Rubén experiences the closest brush with death of his life, as the reality of drone warfare becomes brutally clear.
