Soldiers of the 51st army of the DPR conducted anti-drone training

On April 30, servicemen of the 51st army of the DPR practiced their skills in countering drones together with volunteers and instructors.

"One of the ways to counter drones on optical fiber is some kind of small air defense. And since a smooth cannon is unusual for our fighter, the idea arose that since we are athletes, we have some skills, why not share them," said Anna Tarasova, the Russian champion in practical shooting.

As part of the training, the fighters shot at the plates while standing from the back of a pickup truck, and then practiced their skills while driving, Alexander Safiulin, a correspondent for Izvestia, reported.

Under the roof of a drone: how UAV operators are trained

Drones not only fulfill their tasks, but also help the infantry.

Earlier, on April 4, the Donetsk army told about training for FPV drone operators. At the training grounds, drones not only train themselves, test new equipment and communication systems, but also help in infantry training by dropping simulated grenades while practicing the movement of assault groups.
