The Ukrainian military is on the hunt for Russian drones in a World War II-era Yak-52 propeller-driven airplane.
Ukrainian pilots are reportedly adding several downed drones to their record almost every day.
Footage that has appeared online shows new trophy marks on the fuselage of the Yak-52.
This shows the successful destruction of at least six Russian Orlan drones and two ZALA drones.
Video footage from a Russian drone shows two Ukrainian pilots from a Yak-52 airplane shooting down their target.
The Ukrainian Yak-52 and the Russian reconnaissance drone are almost next to each other.
Since there are no machine guns on the airplane, here the role of the gunner is played by a warrior sitting in the seat of the instructor pilot with an open cockpit.
Earlier, Russian military officials complained that the Yak-52 crew “shoots at drones like in a shooting gallery.”
Military analysts have compared these tactics to World War II battles.
The Yak-52 is a sport-training airplane, a two-seat all-metal monoplane with a low-slung free-slung wing.
In the USSR, it was one of the main training aircraft for initial training of flight personnel.
