@20002ist @SecureOwl You don't fire through the meatslicer because when the drone explodes, you have to fly through the debris and blast. You fly parallel to the drone and shoot out the side from the rear cockpit while the pilot flies from the front cockpit. https://www.twz.com/air/this-is-how-ukrainian-yak-52-crews-hunt-russian-drones #DroneHunter #Yak52 #CivilAirPatrol

The interception of a russian Shahed drone with small arms by the crew-member of a Ukrainian #Yak-52 trainer plane. Snoopy type fighting is effective if done right

Imagine a 1970s propeller trainer taking on high-tech 21st-century drones. In Ukraine, the Yak-52 has been pulled from flight schools and repurposed as a "drone hunter." It’s a low-tech solution to a high-tech problem, and it’s working remarkably well. 🛩️🇺🇦 #Aviation #UkraineWar #Yak52 🧵 1/

Reportedly, footage of a Ukrainian #YAK52 shooting down a Russian UAV. Gunner in the back with a rifle seems fairly dubious, but a moderately high performance prop plane with modern sights seems like it could be pretty effective for Shahed hunting away from the front lines
