Russian troops testing a new anti-drone ‘mobile fire unit’ almost killed one of their own soldiers when a repurposed helicopter machine gun spun out of control and sprayed bullets across a training ground.
A Yak-B 12.7 HMG on more or less a reinforced version of a diner seat base. As an anti-drone weapon, no less.
You can take the gun out of a helicopter, but you can’t take the helicopeter out of the gun.
