  1. Russian launcher yells, "Pull!" Ukrainian Yakker says, "Not so Fast!"

    1. Appears that you have to lead it a little.

    2. And they're using rifles, not shotguns.

  4. Much to the disappointment of my father, I was never that good with a shotgun, despite having some really nice ones to shoot. My father would have LOVED that video.

  5. It's gone beyond that:the Ukes now have an AN-28 twin turbo prop with wing hard point mounted anti-drone FPV drones. Video.

  6. I could imagine that a number of US folk would *pay money* to ride backseat and down a few drones -- especially if some of the wreckage could be retrieved to mount on the wall.

    Yeah, the Ukrainians would want a backup plane for any that were missed, which would have to be part of the upfront cost.

    1. DJT, Jr. might do it. So would have the guy that got trampled by elephants.

  7. I think this is the Ukrainians trolling Russia: "Hey, Ivan, my cousins Bubba and Skeeter got more kills than you!"
