Ukrainian engineers and pilots have introduced yet another effective solution for gaining air superiority: the use of drones armed with special guns. According to Censor.NET, a compilation of around twenty clips showing successful engagements with enemy drones has been published online.

The video captures a unique interception tactic: a Ukrainian drone approaches a Russian ‘Mavic’ or other UAV at close range, after which a special on-board firing system is activated. A shot fired at close range instantly destroys critical components of the enemy aircraft, bringing it down to the ground.
