La compagnia ucraina Wild Hornets ha testato un drone dotato di un fucile da caccia a 12 calibri con munizioni di buckshot. Febbraio 2025.

I can’t wait to see the UA use a swarm of these to break the front lines. Blitzkrieg their way back to the pre-war borders and obliterate any opposition in Kursk.

Hopefully soon…

Finally! Since the start of the drone war I’ve been asking why there isn’t an anti-drone drone equipped with a shotgun. It seemed like the ideal way to take out a bunch of drones from a distance so I’m glad it’s being tried. I was envisioning a fast fixed-wing drone however, but I’ll take any configuration over none. Now I will be anxiously waiting for reports on the success/failure rate. Fingers crossed.

Wouldn’t a machine gun be a better option?

Ukrainians or unsupervised hillbillies with a budget? You be the judge!

I say that will love from Appalachia. I can fully and believably conceive that some of my fellow hicks when supplied with a drone, a couple of shotguns, and some electrical tape creating something like this. Hell, we may see it if the FAA loses its control of the airspace.
