In a striking display of marksmanship, a Russian paratrooper successfully shot down a large Ukrainian drone using only his rifle, according to footage released by a military-affiliated Telegram channel.
The 30-second night vision clip shows the soldier targeting a quadcopter, firing single rounds until it ignites and crashes to the ground, exploding upon impact.
The black-and-white footage begins with the drone, which appears to be a quadcopter, hovering in the sky.
The paratrooper, equipped with a thermal scope, takes aim and fires several shots.
His persistence pays off as the UAV catches fire and falls, resulting in a loud explosion.
Voices in the background confirm the successful hit, with one soldier exclaiming, “It exploded,” and another celebrating the shot.
