Russian troops testing a new anti-drone 'mobile fire unit' almost killed one of their own soldiers when a repurposed helicopter machine gun spun out of control and sprayed bullets across a training ground.

A Yak-B 12.7 HMG on more or less a reinforced version of a diner seat base. As an anti-drone weapon, no less.

After several attempts while the machine gun rotated, this second soldier managed to regain physical control of the weapon and stop the firing sequence.

No it stopped firing when the operator was thrown from the trigger lmfao
