    Seen a military analyst comment on this one. He said it was likely shot down by something else while this guy also fired at it.

    Still a nice clip though.

      Skill certainly plays a part but yes, you do need a lot of luck. When I was in the army we trained for this sort of thing. The idea was, if you have a lot of machine guns firing at the same time, you have a reasonable chance to land some hits.

      Edit: apparently they’re still using the exact same sight as we did 40 years ago:

    There are a lot of this posted within a short timeframe. Some ground ones, a couple of helicopter ones, a Cesna one. All they seem to show is that they down drones\missiles without a sweat. Since they are tight-lipped in what they share, it seems like a conscious campaign to… what?

    My guess is that it’s an answer to the russian saber-rattling about the Kursk oblast and the proclaimed revenge involving massive drone attacks. To say, that no, it doesn’t work, see videos 1, 2 and 3. That’s the message I get from these get posted atm.
