Why am I looking at a WWII plane?
Am I to interpret this that WWII era designs are being fitted for the mission of intercepting recon drones?
Fascinating [/Spock]
Cool shot.
Was this photoshopped or did the drone travel back in time
This isn’t real, right?
I thought I would never see propeller planes in combat again, especially when they were effective (look at the victory marks on the fuselage), this is pretty epic
They never quit 😂
USAF: “we need 6th gen fighters and advanced technology to combat these threats”
So they could just wing clip a drone to bring it down.
Makes sense to me. Seems like a modern jet fighter would be way too fast and way too expensive to operate to use in an anti drone role. Ukrainians are by now well known for improvising with whatever they have at hand. This is just one more good example.
Would Super Tucano’s work well in these types of missions?
Fucking bad ass.
You can actually see their kill count stenciled on the side of the plane below the cockpit.

[Check out all the kill marks on this Yak-52](https://www.twz.com/air/yak-52-kill-marks-hint-at-success-in-ukraines-drone-war) – They’re putting these to good use.
One of the coolest photos of this war
Aren’t the YAK-52’s incredibly sturdy?

Is this a pistonous aircraft?
