Footage recorded from the ground shows a Ukrainian helicopter tailing a Russian Shahed (Geran) loitering munition while trying to shoot it down with bursts of machine gun fire. Eventually the drone is hit and falls from the sky. The explosive payload detonates as it hits the water. The Iranian designed Shahed/Geran drones have carried out devastating strikes inside Ukraine. However, they are slow and easy to detect, which gives Ukrainian helicopter crews time to take flight and intercept the devices, a technique that is becoming more common, according to recent footage.
