Russia mounted a helicopter gun on a truck | Military Mind

As Ukrainain drones continue to challenge Russian air defenses, Russian forces are resorting to increasingly unorthodox methods to counter the threats. One of the latest examples is a civilian truck fitted with a Soviet YAKB-12.7 helicopter machine gun - an unusual modification. Originally designed for the Mi-24 attack helicopter, the high-rate-of-fire weapon was never intended for manual operation on a ground vehicle, leading many observers to question the practicality of the design. Join Benjamin Lee in new episode of Military Mind to see the improvised anti-drone system and the viral footage of its first test.
