It's now known that Ukraine has extensively developed and honed in its expertise in drone design. A real threat to Russia, which above all, fears the attacks of these flying machines.

The Ukrainians are capable of developing advanced drone technologies as well as neutralising enemy devices.

A post on Telegram, shared by Defence Express, highlights the complexity of such an operation: "Fighting enemy drones with electronic warfare weapons and anti-drone guns isn't always effective, as the enemy constantly changes frequency."

An achievement on the frontline

Recently, it was a Ukrainian sniper who demonstrated his ability to overcome the difficulty. The "sniper of the 3rd company of the Materyk battalion of the Ukrainian Air Force shot down two Russian drones near Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region with two precise shots", defence specialists report.

A real feat given the speed at which drones move. Furthermore, the sniper managed to hit his target with a 308 mm rifle, usually used for long-distance shots, reports The Independent. "A rare incident on the frontline," claims Defence Express.
