What the human mind does during existential terror is amazing and self-preserving.

What an invading terrorist nation does is use casualties as chaff.

I guess we will never know.

Likely saved the guy.

So you think they thought it would be like a lizard dropping it's tail? The drone would get distracted?

I assume they believe it makes them go faster? I have seen videos where they drop bodies out of a truck, apparently in an attempt to get lighter and therefore faster. It's not particularly smart, but other people have just offed themselves after seeing a drone nearby. So there is a spectrum of reactions.
