Initially, the drones only carried out intelligence, so the military did not pay special attention to them and did not try to knock down, and they were practically unable to do so. But a few weeks ago, UAVs began to dump grenades. The unit is located very close to hostile positions, on average, the distance is only 250 m, and the occupiers made up to dozens of such raids daily.
To protect themselves, Tro fighters with the help of volunteers and loved ones raised funds for the Sky Wiper antitrone gun - it cost approximately 15 thousand euros. Within a few days the device arrived from abroad to Ternopil, and from there to the unit to the front. The soldiers decided to check the gun immediately and went hunting, soon noticed the enemy drone and successfully seized it. "The drone was shaking in the air, it was completely disoriented, so it caught on trees and stayed there.
Below it hung a grenade RGD-5. When we were convinced that it was completely switched switched off, drank wood and taken away UAV. About 100 thousand UAH, ”Merlin said. The Ukrainian military studied the drone and found that the Russians used a very difficult and uncomfortable grenade discharge system, which reduces the efficiency of UAVs. The experts processed the drone, after which the military under the leadership of Merlin began to use it against Russian troops.
