A Russian soldier cheated death when a sniper’s bullet hit his mobile phone in his chest pocket.<\/p>\n

His Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite phone was destroyed, but the soldier didn’t even realise he had been shot until after the impact.<\/p>\n

The powerful blast completely wrecked his phone, leaving a hole and some remnants of the bullet in the device. However, the fighter, whose name is not known, lived through the “combat mission” unharmed.<\/p>\n

The soldier shared online the moments leading up to and following his brush with death during active service in Ukraine’s war.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he grasped that a sniper had shot at him immediately, he confirmed: “I heard one bang, yes, there was only one shot.”<\/p>\n

Covering himself from death and addressed as “lucky” by the interviewer, the Russian soldier also explained that no explosions followed and “the bullet was stuck in the phone”.<\/p>\n

The bullet crept into a gap in the thick armour plating the man was wearing, embedding itself in his phone.<\/p>\n

A Telegram channel reported the incident, confirming that the soldier was hit by a bullet but not seriously injured.<\/p>\n

The message stated: “The fighter was shot by a sniper while performing his combat mission.<\/p>\n

The enemy bullet slipped between the plates of his body armour and hit his phone without causing serious damage to our soldier.”<\/p>\n

This comes as the standoff between Russian and Ukrainian forces continues.<\/p>\n
