This morning, one of the air defense units, which received over 10 million hryvnias of aid from us, successfully shot down an enemy drone. That's how it works - we help, they protect 🫶

This gun is also incredibly effective against lightly armored vehicles and infantry.

Most autocannons are. Soviets took the guidance radars off their Shilkas (older equivalent to Guepard but with quad cannons) and called the radarless AAA vehicles "Afghanis".
