New footage shows Ukrainian troops flying a reworked An-28 transport aircraft on nighttime drone-hunting missions, fitted with an M134 Minigun. In the clips, the crew locks onto incoming Shahed-style drones using laser-assisted targeting, then closes in to shred them at short range with controlled bursts. 🇺🇦
