MiG-29 pilot gets within point-blank range of Shahed, with pressure differential causing engine surge and drone crash. VIDEO

A video has been published online showing the pilot of a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet shooting down a ‘Shahed’-type kamikaze drone whilst repelling yet another enemy attack.

According to Censor.NET, the MiG-29 pilot closed in on the Russian drone to a very short distance. Preliminary reports suggest that the sudden pressure drop created by the aircraft in front of the drone’s nose caused the drone’s engine to stall.

Following this, the Russian "Shahed" lost control, began to fall, and exploded upon impact with the ground.
