Russian Engineer Kills Himself After Rocket He Designed Kills His Grandmother

"What is happening now is a horror and a nightmare. I refuse to participate anymore, but I can't bring my grandmother back either," Gorobets wrote in his suicide note, before putting a bullet in his temple. Maybe he should have thought about that sooner. Presumably, he was fine with killing other Ukrainian babushkas before that.

What's also interesting to me is that his surname was Gorobets (also transliterated as Horobets) which is a Ukrainian name, meaning "sparrow." So it would appear he spent his time designing weapons that would ultimately kill and injure Ukrainians and thought nothing of it until one of the rockets killed his own grandmother.

An engineer employed at a Russian defense plant has reportedly taken his own life after a missile which he was involved in creating struck an apartment building in Kharkiv and killed his grandmother.

Gorobets Anton Igorevich was reportedly employed by the Almaz-Antey defense plant which is engaged in the development and production of anti-aircraft missiles, radar equipment, and components for air defense and missile defense systems.

His lifeless body was discovered by a concerned friend who noticed his absence from work.
