Ukraine shoots down Shahed drone with M2 Browning

A Ukrainian mobile fire group gunner successfully shot down a Russian Shahed one-way attack drone using a .50 caliber M2 Browning heavy machine gun. The incident, which occurred at near point-blank range, highlights the improvised and close-range air defense tactics Ukrainian forces are employing against low-cost, slow-moving drones. The video of the engagement shows the gunner tracking and engaging the incoming drone before it impacts the ground. This method provides a cost-effective counter to drones that can be difficult for traditional air defense systems to intercept.
