TL;DR Summary

Ukraine's military is using large-caliber machine guns to shoot down the slow-moving, low-flying Shahed drones operated by Russia in the ongoing conflict. The Shahed-131 and -136 drones are equipped with warheads that can shatter or explode as they approach their target. The drones are often simple to shoot down if Ukrainian forces can detect them in time. Russia likely launches the drones from two sites near the Ukrainian border, and they are sent into Ukraine from Russia's Krasnodar Krai and Bryansk regions.
