Russian FPV Drone Brought Down by Ukrainian Machine Gunner
Published 1 years ago
Drone footage released by Russian forces captures a Ukrainian machine gunner going absolutely berserk in an attempt to bring down an FPV drone heading towards his position. Just as the drone is lining up for a second run at his fighting position, the machine gunner blows a hole in the side of the drone, dropping it.
For what it's worth, this is a really cool perspective of a drone being shot down. It is also probably worth noting that the Russians did not appear to intend to bring this drone back in the event of a mission-failure. If you watch the HUD indicators on the left side of the screen, you'll notice that the drone was down to it's last few minutes of flight time before the battery would have died, causing the drone to land.
