During an air attack on Kyiv on the night of September 7, servicemen of the Presidential Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a Russian Iskander-K cruise missile in an unusual way.
The military reported that a Soviet 23-mm ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun, developed in the 1950s, was used to hit the target.
A post about the successful interception appeared on the brigade's Telegram channel, where a video recording of the moment the missile was destroyed was also added.
"To shoot down a cruise missile from an anti-aircraft vehicle, which is older than your father, is great luck, multiplied by great skill. During the enemy's extreme air attack on the capital, the fighters of the anti-aircraft missile and artillery division of our brigade succeeded in doing so," the report says.
By the way, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Military Development Department recently released a video showing the "Prymary" special forces unit hitting two Mi-8 helicopters and a Russian tugboat in Crimea.
