A video has been published online showing Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners in action as they destroyed Russian kamikaze drones during one of the enemy’s air strikes.

According to Censor.NET, the footage shows the launch of a man-portable anti-aircraft missile system and the moment an enemy drone is hit, exploding in mid-air.

The caption accompanying the video notes that the FN-6 man-portable air defence missile system, which is in service with the Ukrainian Defence Forces and designed to engage low-altitude aerial targets, was likely used to intercept the aerial targets.
