⚡️Another exclusive.

The battalion Darknode of the 412th brigade Nemesis shot down a Shahed carrying an aviation rocket R-60.

Probably, this is how the enemy is trying to counter our helicopter aviation. However, the decision is currently doubtful.

⚔️But drones against Shaheds – a working solution!!

Maybe it’s deployed to a location that has reported a hostile aircraft with no friendly aircraft inbound. Then it just shoots the first thing it locks on.

    Yeah but a Ukrainian drone hunting helicopter pair would have atleast one helicopter carrying much heavier more capable sensors than a shahed could physically carry which leaves this tactic with the basic issue that a helicopter can see much farther than a shahed can along multiple dimensions and can perform under any degree of jamming.

    This seems like swimming out into the ocean and trying to hunt a shark with a knife to me... I mean theoretically it could work sure?
