One would think 'don't approach unexploded ordinance if you don't have to' would be common sense...

Unexploded remotely-triggerable ordinance with a camera on it.

And miss out on those sweet Telegram views?!?

Common sense is in pretty short supply over there.

People have been mishandling UXO forever, this is hardly a current generation problem.

You're confused. Kadyrovites are generally referred to as "tiktok brigade" since they're typically more busy recording themselves while shooting at empty buildings or the forest, far away from the front, than actually being active participants in the war.

Oooh okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Wilshire gave the correct answer, but wanted to expand on that. Cargo 200 was a Soviet code word for transporting filled coffins. It would be what you write on a cargo manifest. It morphed into simply '200' and '300' referring to dead and wounded respectively.

OPs syntax is a little confusing though (he might've just copied the title / description of wherever he got that video from). 2-300 makes it sound like from 2 to 300, or some direct connection between the 2 and 300. 2x 300s would've been more clear.
