Yakovlev Yak-52 - Drone Killer

Drone-hunting / counter-UAV missions: Ukrainian units, including the 11th Army Aviation Brigade, have deployed Yak-52s to intercept and engage Russian reconnaissance and strike drones such as Orlan and ZALA models.
These aircraft lack radar or modern weapons; crews have adapted them by using small arms (rifles, shotguns) from the cockpit and close-range maneuvers to shoot down or disrupt drones" a tactic compared to early World War I aerial combat.
