Ukrainian military began to knock down the reconciliation of the Russian Federation from the ultra-aircraft A-22 (video)

The pilot, the machine "toddler" in the second member of the crew of the A-22 aircraft and high skill allowed to knock the Russian reconnaissance drone. In Ukraine, there are new options for fighting Russian intelligence drones. A new example is the use of an ultra-aircraft type Aeroprakt A-22. About it reports The War Zone. A video of A-22, which sits two crew members, appeared on the network. One is a pilot and the other is a shooter.

They flew over the Russian intelligence drone to try to knock it down. Not on the first attempt, but the shooter was able to hit the drone with firearms. The fighter had a bullpup assault rifle in his hands, probably a baby. Ukrainian journalist Roman Bochkala reported that an ultra -aircraft was purchased by volunteers for $ 35,000 for the Main Intelligence Directorate.

Due to the shortage of MSRC and the high cost of anti -aircraft missiles for Patriots, Ukrainian defenders have to invent non -standard solutions to knock down Russian drones. They bring rockets to the Ukrainian rear cities. What does aviation and other objects suffer from. The video is probably the A-22 aircraft, which Ukraine has already used as a long-range dron-Kamikadze attack on the Russian Federation.

Due to its lightweight, as well as the simple A-22 design, the flight range is about 1000 km in one stock of fuel. As one of the elements of a multilayered air defense system of Ukraine, a lightweight aircraft with a machine gun or other weapon, can help fill some gaps during daytime operations in areas. The main problem, as in the case of Yak-52, is the need for the high skill of the Sagittarius. It should take into account the speed of flight, wind, as well as the movement of the drone itself.
