  2. We dub this dude – “Liquid Nitro”, cause he is cold as fuck at all times.

  3. What a gamble, had only two shells available, he’d have been fucked if he missed that second one, fair play

  4. In all seriousness, why can’t we invent something better for drone defense?

    No automated drone interceptors? Cheap and easy to deploy?

  6. That was some great shooting. Ukraine should have more shotguns in every defense line.

  7. So shotguns for groups are mandatory now. Great weapon to destroy drones that come close. All you need is to hit the propels with pellet, it loses its balance and its bye bye even if it doesnt explode.

  8. Lucky it was fiber optic carry way smaller charge n that wa close nice shooting I’m surprised they don’t have at least 1 specialist at this in a squad who also carries a shortened variant of an AK just for reduced weight

  12. Being hunted by these things must be absolutely terrifying.

  13. It’s interesting how history repeats itself, seeing shotguns become useful again on the battlefield like during WW1.

    Hopefully these guys can get some better shotguns, or develop a sort of attachment for their main rifles that can fire off some shells.

  14. I’m used to video of Russians getting wasted. It’s almost weird to see a video where the guys aren’t living with piles of trash everywhere like the Russians do.

  16. unfortunately it’s danger close, but better late than never.

  17. Good shot!!

    BANG!! 💥

    He seems delighted . . and rightly so! 👍

    Героям слава!

  18. I always thought shotguns would give you a chance at least. This looks like a 20ga too. Not a 12ga. Great shot!

  19. It’s wabbit season, drone season, wabbit season, drone season, wabbit season, drone season; BAM!!!!
