Ukrainian Air Force shoots down drones with Mi-8 airborne machine gun

The Ukrainian Defense Forces shot down a Shahed combat drone with the onboard machine gun of a Mi-8 helicopter while repelling an air attack.

This was a successful hunt for lethal Russian weapons.

A Ukrainian helicopter pilot successfully shot down a Russian drone that was flying to destroy the Ukrainian energy system.

The kamikaze drone was deliberately shot down outside a residential area to avoid destruction and casualties on the ground.

Ukrainian helicopters are equipped with satellite transmitters, digital communication systems.

They are specialized aviation searchlights and Flir electronic optical system (EOS).

Earlier, it was reported that the electronic warfare system neutralized the kamikaze drone and saved the Ukrainian tank.

The Russian kamikaze combat drone lost control, then fell to the ground near the tank and exploded.
