Ukrainian pilots are using old 1970s propeller planes to fight Russian drones in World War I style. As Forbes writes, more and more Ukrainians are preparing to take to the skies and hunt Russian drones. It is noted that a video has gone viral on social media in which the crew of the Ukrainian intelligence service on the Aeroprakt A-22 sports plane destroys a drone with their assault rifle.
This GUR tactic is no different from the one used in southern Ukraine, where a Yak-52 training aircraft is used to shoot down UAVs. The shooter in the back seat also attacks the drones with a rifle.
"The Yak-52 crew's methods are effective and, perhaps most importantly, inexpensive. Ukrainian forces cannot afford to fire the biggest and best air defense missiles, which can weigh hundreds of kilograms and cost millions of dollars apiece, at a 14-kilogram Orlan-10 drone that costs only $100,000. Operating a Yak-52 or A-22 costs only a few hundred dollars an hour. A few shotgun shells or rounds of ammunition cost next to nothing," the publication adds.
As indicated, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already using A-22s, which cost $90,000, in combat as attack drones. They are re-equipped for autonomous flight and filled with explosives. This allows these aircraft to fly hundreds of kilometers deep into the Russian Federation to hit military and industrial targets.
The Rotax A-22 engine generates 100 horsepower, while the Vedeneyev Yak-52 engine generates 360 horsepower. With its excellent power-to-weight ratio, the latter may be the best in tight turns with a drone.
"Ukraine is desperate to shoot down dozens of Russian surveillance drones that fly over Ukrainian cities and bases every day with near impunity. Over the course of three spectacular days last week, Russian drones flew over Ukrainian airfields, identifying targets for Iskander ballistic missiles. During these raids, the Ukrainians lost at least three precious fighter jets - all because they failed to shoot down the drones before the drones detected the planes on the ground," Forbes explains.
While air-to-air combat aircraft may not be the best choice for airfield security, they can free up heavier ground-based air defense to move into vulnerable airbases.
Earlier it was reported that in Odessa, the Orlan-10 was destroyed from a training Yak-52 . Subsequently, Defense Express reported that the Ukrainian propeller-driven Yak-52 shot down eight Russian Orlan-10 and Russian-made Zala UAVs.
Forbes explained that Ukrainians in Yak-52s shoot down enemy drones , using a shotgun against enemy UAVs.
