The An-28 transport aircraft belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed a Shahed-136 (Geran-2) type unmanned aerial vehicle used by Russia for attack purposes in the air.
MOMENTS OF THE UAV BEING HIT CAPTURED ON CAMERA
The moments when the modernized aircraft, which has an integrated laser targeting system, hit the kamikaze UAV by marking it with a laser were captured second by second by the aircraft's camera.
Military experts point out that the slow-flying An-28 has an advantage over jets in tracking UAVs of similar speed. The use of low-cost aircraft and munitions instead of expensive air defense missiles is seen as a new and economical defense strategy developed by Ukraine against Russian UAV attacks.
