Moment Russian paratrooper takes out drone with machine gun

A Ukrainian ‘Baba Yaga’ type drone attempted to strike Russian paratroopers from the skies. However, Russian forces were not only quick to act, but also quick to discover the drone’s greatest weakness: bullets. The hexacopter attempted its attack above Chasov Yar, just west of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), but the keen eyes (and keen thermal imaging systems) of the paratroopers led to its discovery well before it could reach its target. Those same keen eyes trained their PKM, Pecheneg, and Ak-12 guns on the drone and knocked it clean out of the sky, as this video from the Russian Ministry of Defense shows.
