    …These guys are aware that the real thing doesn’t abort the dive when they notice their target slowly rolling, right?

    Either that or they think they can fat roll through any damage like it’s a Fromsoft game.

    This looks like an exercise you’ll be doing for the rest of your life. Jump left, jump front, jump right, dive down. Until the end of your days about 25 seconds later.

    But, maybe it helps the soldiers feel safe, so they are less likely to revolt before it’s too late?

      Hmmmmm …

      From what I have read, the optimal lethal distance for the shrapnel pattern on these small bombs is usually 2-4m away from the explosion.

      Paying for wounded and disabled soldiers is expensive. Are they training them to rollover and die?
