Belarusian military personnel at the Zapad-2025 exercises deployed a turret of several AKS-74U submachine guns to protect against drones. The Telegram channel "Military Informant" drew attention to the photograph on the Web.
In the footage, you can see an anti-drone turret in the back of a truck. The development allows firing from three AKS-74Us, known as "Ksyukha."
The weapon was used to protect a field airfield where Su-25 attack aircraft were based.
A shortened version of the AK-74 was developed to arm the crews of armored vehicles, helicopters and airplanes. At the same time, a machine gun with a short barrel is inferior to a full-size AK in terms of the initial bullet velocity and aiming range.
Apparently, we can only wait for an anti-aircraft gun made of Makarov pistols.
Earlier www1.ru reported that footage of the flight of the X-101 strategic missile for the Tu-160 and Tu-95MS appeared.
