A Ukrainian unit is searching for dozens of Russian drones with flying double barrel shotguns

• A Ukrainian battalion published a video in which a drone equipped with a shotgun destroyed dozens of targets.

• This is one of the largest set of shots to shoot down other drones.

• The technology may be based on a counter-terrorism gun from World War I, which was fired from both ends of the barrel.

Ukrainian drone sailed into the frost landscape propeller heading towards the frost landscape, with double barrels crawling towards the enemy bomber.

The flash bursts on its connected first-person view camera, while the target (DJI Mavic drone) lands on the ground ineffectively.

Dozens of other attacks quickly and in succession, each showing the ends of two barrels, exploding the magician out of the sky.

The video released the second mobile battalion of the 30th mechanized brigade in Ukraine on Sunday, which fought near Bachmut. The accompanying title is simple. “Shooting down enemy drones is one of the priorities of the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Greater Brigade,” the battalion wrote on its telegram channel.

These clips form one of the largest collections of records, revealing a relatively novel concept that drones shoot down other drones.

This approach also had an impact on how battlefield technology evolved in war, as units in Ukraine and Russia sought to fix guns and even molten warm water onto drones, fundamentally creating flying guns and flame fuels.

In Sunday’s post, the double-barrel shotgun drone was targeted primarily what appeared to be Mavics’ targets. These lightweight commercially made drones in China are expensive and are usually reserved for reconnaissance or bombing missions on both sides.

The inspiration of World War I

Ukraine’s presidential brigade fought in Luhansk, which promoted the same creativity to shotgun drones in early March.

The video shows a repeatedly stable gun concept in which the quad is equipped with long barrels designed to be fired from both ends. One side is directed at the target, while the other end shoots to provide a reverse loop and keep the drone stable.

A brigade member told the camera: “The influence is strong. You don’t need accuracy; the propagation effect is important.”

The brigade released a clip of drone shooting on the target board, its double barrel roaring. Since there is no drone with a reload mechanism, the shotgun may have to return to manual loading.

Back in late December, Ukrainian charity Lesiaua released clips that were about clips of shotguns carrying drones. Visually, the drone seems to be of the same type as the 30th Mechanical Team.

Russian drone manufacturers were testing the concept as early as September. State media Ria Novosti published an article covering the design of a single barrel on a drone that can be launched in both directions at the same time.

“It operates according to the principles of the Davis aircraft cannons of World War I,” the media wrote.

The gun was designed by U.S. Navy commander Cleland Davis in 1910 experiments, providing the army with a way to reduce recoil, but reloading was cumbersome. It was used in World War I for limited use.

Ukrainian drone development is quickly attributed to the decentralized nature of the industry. Volunteers, units and manufacturers often engage in individual projects and promote each other.

Many creations, such as fiber optic drones, are increasingly using older technologies to beat more modern devices. In the West, there has been a concern among some defense analysts that NATO military industrial complexes have overemphasized the development of advanced weapons without taking into account the possibility of a quantitative or low-tech solution.
