Post argues for widespread automated anti-drone systems after typical engagement with UAV overhead
A Telegram post describes a typical situation where an enemy UAV hovers above a mobile group and is fired upon, and argues that effective counter-drone defense requires automated interceptor-drone complexes (e.g., “Ёлки”/FPV) or automated machine-gun mounts. It is presented as a general lesson rather than a specific, verifiable strike report.
