Armoured doctors prepared to extract a live grenade from the body of a Russian soldier who had become a “human bomb.”

Junior Sergeant Nikolay Pasenko, 41, was wounded by an unexploded Ukrainian ordnance from an automatic grenade launcher, which embedded itself beneath his heart.

The dangerous bomb had shown up on X-rays, shattering his ribs, destroying a lung, and stuck straight into a location near the soldier’s spine, and Pasenko was originally “against” having it removed.

Despite his pleas that the medics should not put their lives in danger, they dressed and attempted to remove the explosives.

Pasenko stated of the surgery: “I was against it. I did not want the doctors to suffer as the munitions could have exploded .”

However, crazed doctors dressed in armour and a military physician, Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Kim, dismissed the soldier’s pleadings and declared that they would “blow up together.”

If medical personnel had not acted with the “extremely high” risk of explosion stuck under his heart, fatal bleeding would have killed the Russian soldier.

Following a successful operation, Pasenko praised the medics as “real heroes” for saving his life.

Lt-Col Kim stated about the operation, “We were warned there was a risk of ammunition detonation, but no one refused. The ammunition was located between the aorta and the inferior vena cava .”

“It’s not every day that you take an [explosive] out of a person, and in a place where moving to the right or left can lead to the death of the patient.”

“When the ammunition ended up in a bucket of sand, everyone exhaled, smiled and laughed.”

The second team of surgeons was on standby in case the bomb detonated during the “unique operation.”

Kim, who had no idea “if the ammunition had detonated or not,” was able to effectively remove the bomb with the help of his team of surgeons, who were in danger at all times during the operation.

Pasenko was relieved, to say the least, recalling the attack that had left him with an explosive trapped beneath his heart.

The resurrected human bomb stated, “We were tasked to take a forest belt with Ukrainian positions. We took it, in a fierce battle. I did not understand what happened. There was a blow to the edge of the armour and that was it. I did not lose consciousness – I just continued to move .”

Following that, his fellow soldiers “jumped up and bandaged me,” which is how the soldier survived, along with a successful operation.

“My thanks to surgeon Dmitry Kim and I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life,” he concluded.
