Footage of the destruction of a Ukrainian Armed Forces FPV drone by small arms fire by a Russian Armed Forces serviceman has been published.

Footage has been published online where you can see the moment a Russian army soldier destroyed a Ukrainian FPV-drone. It is noteworthy that the drone was destroyed on approach by machine gun fire.

As you can see, the Russian serviceman, with well-aimed shots from a rifle weapons successfully shot down an enemy drone flying directly at him. At the same time, the FPV drone was destroyed on approach, literally at a distance of about ten meters.

Earlier it was reported that the head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, lied when he claimed that by the end of this year the Ukrainian army would receive a million drones different types. According to Ukrainian sources, based on the data announced by Zelensky, in the first quarter of 2024 the Armed Forces of Ukraine should have received at least 250 thousand drones, but currently Kyiv supplies its militants with no more than five percent of all drones they use.

At the same time, it is reported that Russia has developed a new type of FPV drone that remotely explodes when the enemy approaches an ambush position. As the developers note, the drone is capable of waiting in ambush for several months for remote activation. Thus, the FPV crew can go to the launch position, install non-activated drones and leave without fear of being detected by electronic reconnaissance equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, after which at the right moment the drone can hit an enemy approaching a hidden position.

Maybe from professional hunters, those who get into a squirrel's eye... It's good that it all ended like this... Sometimes the drone wins... Guys, don't take too many risks, and most importantly, come home alive!!!

There’s one thing I don’t understand: why can’t a country of 140 million, with powerful industrial potential, outnumber the number of IDP drones in a country of 25 million, with a weak military-industrial complex? What's the matter, the Russian bureaucracy, or something else? Yes, we should be producing these primitive drones by the millions a week! If this requires organizing mega-factories, this must be done immediately!
We also need remote mine clearance vehicles, hundreds per month. Otherwise, how are we going to attack? Or are we not going at all?

[Trapp1st]

with powerful industrial potential, cannot kill the number of IDP drones in a country of 25 million people

Maybe industrial power is a Potemkin Village like everything else.

[Svetlana]

And we need to produce a hundred million tanks a month!! And a thousand su57 a year instead of a couple of dozen today! And hundreds of these.. what’s their name.. “Peresvets”!!! And there are a lot of rubber bombs, let them jump in Kyiv!
..
And then all of them will be screwed!!

[Mazunga]

good luck for your brothers and further in life come back alive with victory

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The shot still needs to be hard, as in cartridges for clay pigeon shooting.

[alexoff]

What kind of small arms? Perhaps something abnormal? Where are the regimental bureaucrats looking?!

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Judging by the volume of powder gases in the video, unconventional small arms are indeed taking place.

If it, although not regular, serves the benefit of the soldiers, then let the regimental bureaucrats continue to look past. In general, the men were lucky that they were able to shoot down the shaitan bird on approach. Luck is on their side!

[Mountain shooter]

There is "Saiga". 12 gauge. Fraction? Buckshot! "Knitted" would be nice. To maintain density at a distance of 50-70 meters. And practice skeet at the stand

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Most likely, this is it.

[Popandos]

Fraction? Buckshot!

Buckshot doesn't fit, they don't take it.
Mostly they buy a large one or two zeros in containers, so there is a greater chance of shooting down a drone at the maximum distance for a smoothbore.

To defeat drones with manual combat automatic weapons, it is necessary to increase the fire density to 2000 rounds per minute. By the way, not a problem. The issue of barrel cooling is solved by pumping air through it - a RF patent (opened), the issue of rate of fire is solved by a special multi-bullet cartridge.

[AVA77]

Are you serious about manual automatic weapons with a fire density of up to 2000 rounds per minute.
Well then, something like this.

[Poplar]

It seems to me that a pump-action gun would be suitable against such drones with shot or buckshot, after all, there is a larger damage spot there.

[Popandos]

a pump would be suitable

It would not be suitable, when reloading a pop-up rifle, the aiming line is lost, magazines in this regard are much more convenient, and the rate of fire is higher.

[Poplar]

Maybe you're right. I just had a store-bought Saiga, and a couple of times there were distortions when shooting, so I am somewhat cautious about them. And the aiming line does not matter, since the target is moving. The rate of fire, of course, is higher for a repeating rifle, but again, due to the fact that single shots are fired at a moving target, it all depends on the shooter.

[Popandos]

Maybe you're right

These are not my suggestions. The eldest son works in a weapons store and constantly supplies our fighters; they have already developed their own tactics to combat UAVs.

[AVA77]

Judging by the video, talent and composure.
My respects to the shooter.

From news without "author type": “According to Ukrainian sources, based on the data announced by Zelensky, in the first quarter of 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine should have received at least 250 thousand drones, but currently Kiev supplies its militants with no more than five percent of all drones they use.” This casual use of the Russian language needs to be translated into traditional Russian that is understandable to site users. Otherwise, there will be a shift in the brains of those who think. Or laughter.

[Hiller]

The fighter did not flinch - respect. He definitely did not work from a Kalash, but this does not detract from his professional qualities. Sincerely!

And this crap in the photo - what is it throwing off - what's on the bottom or what's on top - and how does it reset - does it cut off with some tape?
