Ukrainian forces are repurposing old Soviet-era planes, such as the An-2 and An-28, to hunt and destroy Russian drones in a dramatic new phase of the conflict.
Videos show soldiers leaning out of these aircraft to shoot down enemy drones, highlighting both the ingenuity and desperation of Ukraine's defense efforts. Civilian volunteers are also playing a key role, adapting skydiving planes for anti-drone missions as Russian drone attacks intensify. Russia is reportedly considering copying this tactic by restoring hundreds of similar aircraft for their own drone operations.
This unconventional aerial warfare marks a significant evolution in how both sides are adapting to the growing threat of drones on the battlefield.
