The Ukrainian Armed Forces have created a drone gun called Lucky Strike. It can destroy Russian drones.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As noted, the technical innovation introduced by engineers of the 4th Mechanized Battalion “makes it possible to methodically reduce the population of enemy “mavics” over the line of contact.”
“Our brigade's soldiers have already managed to surprise the enemy with their technical upgrades of drone bombers. The birds, armed with grenade launchers and machine guns, are already being used by units of the Separate Presidential Army. Now this line has been expanded with the Lucky Strike drone with a shotgun attached,” the statement says.
Ukrainian weapons
Let us recall that recently the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmyhal stated that Ukraine has built a new defense industry complex, which today has capabilities that have grown 35 times to 35 billion dollars per year.
According to him, in two years the production of artillery has increased threefold, armored personnel carriers fivefold, anti-tank weapons twofold, and ammunition 2.5 times.
Shmyhal added that Ukraine currently produces about a third of the weapons it needs, and the goal is at least 50%.
In addition, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that since the beginning of the full-scale war, the production of domestic weapons has increased sharply. However, he added that our country continues to need support from the EU and the US.
