Ukrainians create DIY and modified weapons to down Russian drones

UKRAINIANS create DIY and modified weapons to down Russian drones.

Created in Mykolaiv the weapon consists of coupled machine guns mounted on a modified vehicle and was designed by Ukraine’s National Guard servicemen in cooperation with civilian technicians.

“When the whole Ukrainian nation unites, big ideas and projects are born,” said Dmytro Horbachyk, Ukraine’s National Guard press officer.

Ukraine manages to down about 80% of Russian drones, according to Dmytro Pletenchuk, press officer of Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration.

“This is a very high number, because it is very difficult to down 100% of air targets,” said Pletenchuk.

Iran acknowledged for the first time on Saturday (November 5) that it had supplied Russia with drones, but said they were sent a few months before Moscow's forces invaded Ukraine.
