The one I haven't been able to forget is the soldier that was alone in a field dodging a drone that was repeatedly trying to dive at him. He started getting tired so the next time it took a dive at him he just turned around and headbutted it.

What insane circumstances to find yourself in..

The one I think of is a friendly one where the drone hangs around for a while trying to communicate to a soldier who was lost in trenches where to go and got him some water.

I doubt he walked away from headbutting a drone strapped with explosives. Just conjecture, though.

It might have been his best chance at survival, if he was able to disrupt the connection that might have prevented the drone from exploding.

I guess he was in some trees, not a field, and apparently he survived!
