MiG Pilot Shoots Down Drone
Published 2 months ago
Cockpit footage released by a Ukrainian MiG-29 pilot captures the moment a Shahed loitering munition is shot down using the Vympel R-73 air-to-air missile system. This shootdown prevented the drone from reaching its intended target, however it's unclear what that target was and we'll likely never know where it was heading on account of it being shot down. For some reason, this video is being hotly debated online right now with people stating that the pilot wasted resources by not using guns to bring the drone down. I for one however don't even know how to start a MiG-29, so I'm not going to question the expertise of the pilot.
