TL;DR Summary

Russians are increasingly frustrated with a Ukrainian Yak-52 training plane that has been effectively shooting down Russian surveillance drones. The Yak-52, with a front-seat pilot and a back-seat gunner, has downed at least 12 drones in three months. Its robustness and low radar profile make it difficult for Russian air defenses to target. The success of the Yak-52 has led Ukraine to train more gunners to hunt drones using similar tactics.
