Nonetheless, a mistake by the operator - who was out of shot - nearly value Egorov his life as he waited on the backside of the hill because the robotic was pushed in the direction of him, practically falling on him.
The host tried to push the robotic away whereas the close by soldier tried to seize maintain of the one-tonne machine.
Ultimately, Egorov managed to leap out the best way because the robotic fell onto the sand and flipped over.
