Well, Ukrainians are geniuses! In a figurative sense, when they started asking for F16 planes to fight drones, and they were very unwise when they tried to use these fighters to fight the drone attack. Later, when they lost 12 supplied F16 fighters on this drone hunt, it dawned on them that this was not what they wanted, that the fighters were a very stupid idea.
Funny how you think Russia will fall😅😅😅😅
Slava Ukraine🇦🇲🇺🇦❤️🔱🙏
How badass would it be seeing some P51's and Spitfires taking out drones over Ukraine?!!!
Lol it is desperation nothing special about it
send in A10S
Surprised they can fit in the cockpit with bxlls that big…..well done heros 🇬🇧🏴☠️🇺🇦
Heroes of our times
Тоби пястда🎉😂
Stop talking, send more
Most advanced…patriots? lol Iris-T… 100% target efficiency until now.
You are heroes. Thank you for fighting against this evil regime. Praying for Ukraines freedom and healing.🙏
The numbers don’t jive. 50 kills over 300 missions but the government is claiming that this set up is responsible for 10-12% of drones killed every day? So either you don’t really have a drone problem or this is some sort of low tech nonsense propaganda. That is a kill roughly every 6th sortie. How TF does that equate to 10-12% a day? This is the problem I’ve been having with both sides of the fight. I expect propaganda from both sides but both sides engage in such ridiculous claims I can’t take either side seriously. This seems like propaganda aimed at showing off the desperation of Ukraine having to resort to WWI era tactics. It is a grift designed to trick people into sending them more money. Meanwhile his uniform is so fresh out of the package it still has all the threads from production all over it. Just like the grift the Russians have done for decades now making everyone think they are this power house and global threat, meanwhile they can hardly sustain a logistic chain into a neighboring country. One side is made up of thugs and the other side is filled with scammers. Let them fight.
Amazing resilience and innovation from the defenders. I wish them every success.
So WW1 had gunners with light machine guns, WW2 gunners could have heavy machine guns. Now the gunner has a rifle. Progress.
you dont have the cards boy
Why not just mount machine guns onto the planes again, and go full WW2? Seems like it would be a lot easier than a guy tying to down a drone with his rifle while riding on the backseat?
1:28 this drone looks big, but really is only 4 foot long.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Texas

Most of us hate the putin puppet drumpf
Nice propaganda
Seems like Ukraine would find handy to have some L-159 jets to get down drones like that. Those are much cheaper than valuable F-16 but still having very similar weaponry while much faster than that ancient Soviet Yak ✈️
who would think anno 2025 they would use world war 2 tactics to defeat drones..
Brave men.!!
good joke drink better Wodka
Great story, but how come not a single story about how Ukraine is actually bringing Russia to its knees?
so secret they invited foreign press XD
Trump is on his way to be one of the weakest President in modern history for swallowing Putin's spit.
“Wake up and provide help faster!” Politicians must listen!
Not tuff
Long live Russia and Vladimir putin 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪💪👽
Stop the war period.
😁🤣More CLOWNS FOR THE UCRANIAN-OTAN. CIRCUS??😂😂

very “secretive“
Russia have singlehandedly defeated, demilitarized & humiliated the USA & 45 of its chihuahua vassals & proxy in the former Ukraine. The losers only option is unconditional surrender & reimbursement of Russia's SMO cost.
🇺🇦🇸🇪🗽
I mean going back to basics. Adapting to the changing battlefield.
Makes sense. These drones are slower and need and slower manned aircraft.
God, this ends on a sober note. Defend Ukraine!! It sounds like the stuff of Marvel movies when you hear about in-air-combat with freaking shotguns. Absolutely insane.
The Russian Federation , led by the K@remlin and H@utin, has begun to realise that they will be fighting a military war for 50-60 years,🤷♂ so they have started terrorising the civilian population.😰 This is deliberate genocide – to create more refugees in the EU and make Ukraine surrender to them ! But it is already clear that this will not happen !😉
The Ukranians are so amazingly adaptive!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇭🇲🇭🇲🦘🦘🦘💪
Get that Spitfire production line rolling again.
Russia long live🎉
Why don't the Ukrainian Puppet President. Stop the War.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ukraine should talk to Russia and settle the matter once for all. No third parties !
300 combat flights & only shot down 50 drones?…..😮🤔😵💫😵💫
From the Ghost of Kyiv to WWII era planes, Western Neocon propaganda is as low quality as it gets.
Highly accurate description: "enemy is very cruel and fights with no rules."
Slava Ukraini! Innovative Ukraine.
