This story happened during the war in Afghanistan.
The duties of one of the drivers included going to the food warehouse for groceries.
This warehouse was located at a considerable distance from the military unit.
On one of the trips, the guy needed to stop the car to get out of a natural need.
After looking around carefully, he noticed a mink that interested him.
In the hole he saw the tail of a snake.
He poured some milk into a tin can and left it in front of the mink.
Every time he had to go to the warehouse, the guy stopped and left a “treat” in front of the snake hole.
Time passed.
One day he noticed an eggshell near the entrance to the burrow.
It was clear that the snake was now with the cubs.
On another day, during the usual stop, the soldier could not quickly get back into the car.
An adult cobra and growing young snakes surrounded him and did not let him move for 4 hours.
The guy wanted to pass, but the snakes stand in a rack and did not allow to.
After an exhausting many hours of confrontation, he managed to get to the car.
Later it turned out that during the absence of the soldier, there was an unequal battle, there were losses.
During the interrogation by the higher-ranking authorities, the guy told how he managed to survive.
And even had to show the place with snakes.
With such a strange combination of circumstances, the young soldier survived.
