Russian border guard shot down a Ukrainian UAV "Valkyrie" from a machine gun

UAVs different classes have become an integral part of modern conflicts, which has been proven more than once during the Russian NWO in Ukraine.

Drones used for reconnaissance, guidance of artillery and direct attacks on enemy targets. For example, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation regularly hit the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian energy infrastructure with Geran-2 kamikaze drones.

Tellingly, the Ukrainian military and the defense industry often try to shoot down the aforementioned drones from small arms. weapons. It is difficult to say how effective such actions are for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

At the same time, the Russian border guard in the Bryansk region managed to shoot down the Ukrainian UAV "Valkyrie" from a machine gun, as writes TG channel "Warmen of the Russian Spring".

The material says that the military managed to damage the rotor of the drone, which flew at a distance of about 600 meters. After a well-aimed hit, the drone fell to the ground. It is reported that the UAV was without ammunition.

Recall that the Ukrainian-made Valkyrie drone is capable of climbing to a height of up to 2 km and reaching a speed of up to 108 km/h (60 km/h cruising). The range of the drone is about 35 km, and the continuous flight time is 120 minutes.

It is worth adding that the Valkyrie UAV has been produced in Ukraine since 2015. At the same time, according to the developer, this drone can only be shot down with an anti-aircraft missile.

Gratitude to the fighter and the badge "Voroshilovsky shooter".
By the way, are there similar badges in the RF Armed Forces now?

Yes, maybe this fighter hits a squirrel in the eye from a kilometer, how do you know "Airfield"?

[novel66]

From AK? From 600 m? Drone? Isn't it funny yourself? He won't see him! , soldier Ivan Brovkin .. Etit

[tatarin1972]

Fuck knows, but we had a Yakut in our company, hit a sparrow from 60 meters. Perhaps an accident, or perhaps the border guard has good accommodation, what the hell is not joking when God is sleeping.

[faiver]

this Yakut probably hit a squirrel in the eye from 50-60 meters from small things, so as not to spoil the skin ...

[Egeny]

Don't fight guys. There's a first time for everything...if you're lucky.)

[begemot20091]

I knew an 80-year-old grandmother in Tyma. She threw a squirrel from the "tozovka". The distance was more than 50 m. Didn't freeze, but definitely more. The stepfather of a guy I knew in Parabelia, an Ostyak, standing in a cloud of ducks, clapped like flies. So, do not talk badly about the infantryman. Well done guy. The man said - the man filled up the drone. Give out an award.

[faiver]

if this crap with a wingspan of 1,6 meters flew nearby, there is a chance to detect, albeit a small one ...

Why are you downvoting a friend?

managed to damage the rotor of the drone, which was flying at a distance of about 600 meters.

What data do you have in order to minus the available input? The distance to the target is 600 (approximately), if from the front (see the photo of the "full face" projection) you DO NOT SEE it at such a distance. If in height - a distance of 600 (approximately) meters (not 500 and not 700), what rangefinder was installed? Or was another anchor object flying nearby? Now for the "minus connoisseurs" - what for do you need this thing on AK?

And why step in 50 meters?

Quote: faiver

Get with an AK-74 without optics from a distance of 600 meters into a flat UAV in motion pure luck

No "Yakut" eye, given by the border guard, will be able to repeat the hit in the same place, at the same distance, in a moving object, therefore an accidental hit is "Lucky"

[faiver]

no one hits a squirrel from a kilometer anywhere, neither in the eye, nor under the tail, anywhere at all - it makes no sense. Get with an AK-74 without optics from a distance of 600 meters into a flat UAV in pure water movement luck

[tatarin1972]

It is possible to catch up or meet, but when moving along the front it’s unlikely, you won’t have time to calculate the lead.

From a kilometer, a fighter is not only a squirrel's eye, but he won't notice the squirrel itself.
Although ... On TV they showed an American performing a trick - he hit a balloon from a revolver from 1000 yards (this is about 914 meters). The ball itself is practically invisible from such a distance, but it was fixed strictly in the center of a wooden shield about 3x3 meters.

My father said that in their division in 1941 or 42, one fighter from the SVT shot down a Heinkel-111. In my opinion, this is only possible if he killed the pilot. Many often shot at aircraft, but one was lucky.

He also talked about the opposite example, when dozens of machine-gun installations fired at the FV-187, which was breaking through at low altitude to the pontoon ferry. It seemed that he was all in a fiery halo and the bullets just bounced off him. Made several passes. They were not allowed to cross the crossing, but they were not shot down either.

[tatarin1972]

Year 91, the Tungusok battery was hollowing out an air target from cannons, they didn’t hit, and the target was not very fast.

This is which released only 9 pieces? Well, nevermind yourself, your father's fellow soldiers were experts in aviation! They determined the brand of the aircraft, which was not even mass-produced! My respect

[Jafar]

I think, given that "according to the developer, this drone can only be shot down with an anti-aircraft missile", most likely the terrorists fought this crap at a high altitude, so our fighter simply did not miss his chance. Maybe there was a skill in hunting feathered pigs

[Argon]

Shot himself in the foot, hit a drone? Lucky? Do you mean this?

[Yura]

No one will ever win in the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket, and the fighter shot, didn’t do it anyhow, an unlikely chance, but he didn’t miss it.

A fool is not a fool, but in skillful hands is the Stinger bullet. The border guard confirmed
Generously, however, for the Suvorov "bullet-fool" cons were shipped to you. How could I fix it
PS-Somehow there was a case on the hunt, a flock of geese flew in, shot from a combinashka (Izh-94 12x76 and 7,62x54) from both trunks and knocked out a couple of geese. He fired offhand and almost without aiming, out of habit, as from an ordinary shotgun IZH-27EM (12x70) with which he went most often. When both geese fell, then it only dawned that in the park and in the excitement of one he took off the rifling. To confirm the result, I didn’t shoot more from the rifling at the geese (because it’s not according to the rules), so I attribute the success of this shot as an accident. However, if there are 30 rounds in the magazine and with a certain skill, the chance to get a "bird" from the machine gun increases significantly.

During the Great Patriotic War, the facts of the downing of German aircraft from anti-tank missiles and a tank gun were recorded. So it’s not all the same for Ukrainians to shoot down our drones with cans of tomatoes.

And even like once it was from Katyusha. I remember reading such an unusual case at school.

[Banner]

Yes, my grandfather also told me one case, there was their company somewhere in the forest on vacation, and now a plane was flying low, some kind of transport worker, they all started firing at him together from all barrels, from rifles and from degtyarev, and still hit, the plane crashed. We went to look, and it turned out to be ours, there was all sorts of provisions on board, well ... we took food and returned, everything was quiet, after all, the war, for the trees it was not particularly visible our he or the German ...
and he also told other interesting cases, both about minefields, and about sniper fire and about captivity, when they were taken out to be shot after interrogation, they gave shovels to dig their own grave, and they chopped off the sentry’s head with a shovel, took a machine gun and ran to the nearest forest. left, everyone is alive, the lieutenant of their sentry worked clearly, everything happened. You just need not to lose heart and have determination. Although my grandfather was just a signalman, he also fought not only with a reel, but also in hand-to-hand combat, and went for language.

He shot really well, we had a "small thing".

[Maz]

What, what. And in the frontier troops they taught us to shoot from the riflemen soundly. Of the 60 cadets in the study at the exam, four shot back for 4, the remaining 56 - for five points. He himself scolded the inspectors. I told the head of the training outpost, yes, they shoot like gods. The secret is simple - twice a week at shooting, whoever misses, then in the 6km cross-country, in Turkmenistan ... in the mountains very motivating

In the SA they knew how to motivate the fighters .. In Chernivtsi, in training, there was a motivator - your hill, our hill ... We took the Karpatskaya hill five times in a row ... Already steam poured from overcoats, like from horses ... They ran to the location, they took off their overcoats, and they were wet with sweat on their backs ... They laughed, it was funny ... Eh! Youth ... Everything was fun and funny ...

Especially if the authorities allocate cartridges for regular firing without stinging. Then the weapons were shot, and the soldiers.

Pogrants - well done, but he should be ashamed, because

After a well-aimed hit, the drone fell to the ground. It is reported that the UAV was without ammunition.

It can be said that he knocked out a peaceful bird, almost a dove of peace. However, she could return for a new batch of bombs. In short, classiness confirmed, an eagle, and vision - a kite. yes, hand...

How did he notice him from 600 meters? Too far.

He shot him down at 600 meters. It is not clear how he noticed it.
Maybe the drone flew right over his head.
While I was wondering whose drone it is. While he was firing (probably not the first bullet hit), here the drone managed to fly off 600 meters.

They were anti-aircraft bullets. If the direction of movement is "ground - air", then anti-aircraft. And don't argue.

You were not correctly informed. The Armed Forces of Ukraine were most likely brought to the test of the second generation cyborg based on the developments of the first generation of cyborgs, now with the function of destroying UAVs by throwing improvised means, and the legend about the grandmother with a can of tomatoes to cover up the tests of the latest development.

[faterdom]

During the Great Patriotic War, infantry tactics during air raids consisted not only of dispersing and lying down, but also lying down to fire from rifles and machine guns - this could lead to the downing of a fascist, and certainly prevented him from bombing and shooting.
Shooting down the current drone from a machine gun or RPK is also the cheapest way to eliminate it, if the squad is firing, then at a distance of 600m they can fill up with a decent probability. The point here, of course, is not in accuracy, but in the total density of fire and luck.
So, the border guard is definitely a fine fellow, because he fired at the target, well, and there, whoever is lucky, will blow away the rooster.

[faiver]

- a fact, if you shoot with a crowd, the chances are decent, but it's not realistic to determine who hit ....

Guys, you need to spend more cartridges than the border guard himself weighs. Just to get in. And to shoot off the screw ... However, on the outskirts of the jar of cucumbers knocked down. News from the same series.

During the years of the Second World War, planes were shot down with a single shot from a "mosinka" or anti-tank rifle. This is where LUCK matters a lot.

[spectr]

And the article does not say how many UAVs there were. Maybe there were massively 30 of them flying by. Here's one by accident.

It is difficult to say how effective such actions are for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Well, how to say, either their "head" boasts that "a simple Ukrainian from a hunting weapon shot down a Caliber cruise missile", then his wife that "a simple Ukrainian shot down a drone with a can of tomatoes" ... Well, it's clear that the air defense them on a level...

Even a downed Ukrainian UAV must be answered with a massive raid of the same "Geran-2" on airfields and ports. In general, according to the places of supply of weapons of NATO countries. There is nothing to swear, the answer should be tough and specific. To probe the borders with Poland, to hit the roads already on the territory of Ukraine in order to cut off the supply of weapons. And no negotiations.

If the situation is calm and you don’t need to fear for your life, it’s quite possible to parasitize the target from the stop and not spare the ammunition load, plus the Kalashnikov has a large accuracy, there is a chance.
