The OSINT analyst Andrew perpetua wrote about it on the social network X. Previously, Ukrainian and Russian drones with attached weapons appeared, but drones with two shotguns, apparently, a new phenomenon. The Foundation for Assistance to Defenders of Ukraine collects funds for the purchase of more Vinchester drones. The design is clear. The fraction does not have the power of a rifle cartridge. But the wide scattering of a fractional shot increases the likelihood of hit.
And only a few cribs may be needed to significantly damage the drone. No wonder during the recent panic in the United States, due to the appearance of drones, the Senator of Weyoming Charles Scott expressed the opinion that "perhaps the shotgun would be a corresponding legal weapon against drones. " Ukrainian and Russian infantry platoons are increasingly fighting with at least one shotgun.
When the shotguns are not enough, some military ask volunteers at home to send civilian models, writes forbes. But even if the infantry is sufficiently armed with shotguns, they can only have a few seconds after detecting a approaching drone to aim and knock it down. By installing paired shotguns on drones, the Armed Forces fighters can track Russian drones in the air - long before they begin to be a danger to troops on Earth.
