About
The Russian Blowjob Bombing, also known as the Russian Brojob Bombing, refers to a piece of controversial, unconfirmed war footage showing what is purportedly one Russian soldier performing oral sex on another Russian soldier amid the 2022 war in Ukraine, only to be killed by a bomb dropped by a Ukrainian military drone, supposedly in the Kherson Oblast. The viral video surfaced on 4chan, Telegram and Twitter in October 2022 where it was discussed en masse, centering on the concept of "Battlefield Blowjobs" or "Mid-Combat Blowjobs" and their "Roman roots." Memes were thereby created as well as redraws similar to Loss. The video was disputed and argued on /pol/ and /chug/, among other sites and communities such as Reddit.
Origin
On October 3rd, 2022, a video from a Ukrainian drone surfaced online, originating from a currently unknown Telegram group where Ukrainian soldiers share their kill footage. At around 11:55 a.m. EST, the video surfaced on 4chan's /pol/[1] imageboard, purportedly from an anon located in Austria who captioned it, "The Last Blowjob: Damn russian bro really got blown" (shown below). The thread rapidly received a mass amount of replies. Also, roughly 10 minutes sooner on October 3rd, Twitter[2] user uasevostianov shared the video, gaining 557,000 views and 2,500 likes in three days.
Spread
Minutes later on October 3rd, 2022, another 4channer posted the video to /pol/,[3] writing, "Russian soldier blowjob interrupted by drone grenade: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHHAAHAH…" also receiving a large number of replies. As both 4chan threads earned engagement, multiple anons posted reactions and memes as they grew, as well as creating new threads that published "Daily battlefield assessments" that mentioned, "A drone killed 2 Russian soldiers that were doing blowjob." One of these threads posted to /pol/[5] on October 3rd started with a variation of The Myth of 'Consensual' Sex meme template, inserting a screenshot of the bomb dropping (shown below).
Some anons on /pol/[4] denounced the video, wanting to see a source, however, most of the claims that the video was false came from 4chan's /chug/ board in which many of the users are pro-Russian in regards to the Ukraine conflict. On October 4th, 2022, a 4channer shared a Telegram screenshot to /pol/[6] showing a Russian user who denounced the video (shown below).
Translated into English, the Russian wrote:
Fake: Ukrainian publics are spreading a video where a soldier of the Russian Armed Forces allegedly gives his comrade a blowjob, after which a bomb from a quadrocopter flies on them. Truth: The Army of the Russian Federation is fighting for peace, Orthodoxy and traditional values, so such an incident is absolutely impossible. In the video, we can observe the rite of prayer: one soldier holds the icon of the Mother of God in his hands, and the second soldier reads a prayer and kisses the icon. All the "blue" fantasies of Ukrainian gay Nazis are just another fake that we send to the cemetery. “
On /pol/,[7] screenshots of /chug/ board users surfaced on October 5th, 2022, additionally denouncing the authenticity of the video on the grounds that there is no penis visible and that they are likely "praying for mental support" (shown below).
Overall, the Telegram screenshot inspired memes on 4chan into early October 2022. For instance, on October 5th, an anon posted to /pol/[8] an English-translated version of the screenshot with El Risitas Laughing in a combat helmet (shown below, left). Another anon posted to /pol/[9] a photoshopped version of a book titled Sucks to Suck with the screenshot of the original video overlayed (shown below, right).
Other discourse surfaced on both Twitter[10] and 4chan about the ancient practice of "Battlefield Blowjobs" and how they are inherently not homosexual and Roman. For instance, a potentially satirical 4channer posted to /pol/[11] on October 5th, 2022, only to go on a text-rant about how "Battlefield blowjobs have been around since the roman days …" (shown below).
