  1. TBH having shot gun is pretty good vs FPV’s. Increases you chances by quite a bit.

  2. I Bet it is not uneffective against fpv-drones to get them 15-20m away….specially with 6mm buckshot

  3. Dad’s army coming to life, must have been a popular show on rusky tv

  4. Don’t laugh. This old man is probably a farmer or living in a rural village where he goes hunting with a shotgun so he will be an excellent shot.

  5. His primary job will be defending himself.

    His mates are expendable, especially the Cantona lookalike!

  6. Pretty common sight on both sides right now. Simply because it IS the cheapest effective weapon against quadcopters.

  7. FFS these guys should be enjoying their well-earned pension, guiding the random tourists on fishing trips and reminiscing the bad old days with their Ukrainian neighbours and not .. this.

  8. Maybe, smoke grenades could also be effective? Drones are battery powered so the have a limited time over target areas. A drone is attacking, let loose smoke so they can’t see the target, while the target makes use of the cover to find a place to hide?

  9. I saw a recent video in which elite forces in the US (Navy Seals, Rangers and Marines) now get clay pidgeon shooting as a std course through their training as anti drone combat. Indeed Skeet training is the best way to manage FPV’s and Mavic’s… I guess un to 30-50 mtr height/distance?

  10. That helmet looks older than him, very WW2, these guys are working with ancient equipment.

  11. I’m more interested how the Air defence cannon’s helmet looks like.

  12. I really hope justice will be served by the end of this war especially for this propagandist piece of shit. I remember seeing this pig face since the first months of the war.

  13. I’d imagine it’s really effective, I’m surprised we don’t see more shotguns now that drones are so common

  14. It at least increases your chances to die a few minutes later.

  15. Well, we now know what air defense doing.. Hanging out in the shade, doing interviews

  16. Is this папина армия {papina armiya / Dad’s Army)? That’s one way to get seniors off the pension.

  17. Curious as to how effective things like the Saiga 12k or AA-12 would be. Sure, a bitch to clean and maintain, but while ready, loaded with birdshot. Bye bye FPV.

  18. Never underestimate the danger of an old man with a scatter gun.

  19. He earned his stripes back in WW2, used his shotgun to shoot some birds and fed a few men. Now he’s the Ruskies’ secret weapon against drones. The helmet is a real nice touch!

  20. Helm aus dem 1. Weltkrieg und Schrot Patronen für Gänse.

  21. old man with a WW1 helmet. hopefully he has bad eye sight also.

  22. Good idea in principle but will this geriatric see anything past his cataracts?

  23. A decent 28” double barrel shotgun could be pretty effective for many drones.

  24. Jeez, is that the same helmet his…. father wore at Stalingrad?

  25. Don’t knock Sasha. He’s probably been hunting birds in all his 28 years of life.

  26. Russian air defense is a bit like the Russian warships, pray tell, what happened to the Russian warship?

  27. I wonder if his coach knows he’s out on the field with his football helmet unbuckled. He’s gonna have to run laps for that one!

  28. I’d take the shotgun over anything for drone defense. Ukraine needs more of these but pump action or a nice drum magazine
