A video on which the time of lesion of the drone was recorded by the user of Wonderful My Life on the TikTok social network.
According to the militaristic publication, the F-16 fighter did not spend the road of the anti-aircraft missile, but used the vulcan onboard gun, which is known for its extraordinary firing.
It is noted that Vulcan weapons use 20 × 102 mm projectiles and provide fire at speeds of up to 6,000 shots per minute – this makes it one of the most effective melee systems on modern fighters.
“Successful drone lesions confirmed that the F -16 is effective not only with the use of missiles, but also in the cannon mode to counteract the Russian” Shahaned “,” the material reads.
At the same time, as the Clash Report notes, such interceptions, although reducing the cost of the target, but create the risk of moving the fragments of the drone into the fighter itself, which has previously led to the loss of aircraft.
