The Ukrainian military modified the Queen of Hornets into a machine-gun drone

A few days ago, one of our units won a Katsap AK-74 assault rifle with the help of the Queen of Hornets and a magnet.

The military found a use for it - they installed weapons on the Queen and shot them. The modification is being prepared for full operation and we will help them in this.

Lets see if it can shoot down other drones.

I wondered how long it would take to do that.

Don't know why it took them this long. Seems like such a simple thing to mount a gun to a drone. In most of these drone videos, the soldiers are standing, laying on the ground, or running in a straight line. Easy targets for a rifle.

Guns are heavy and less reliable.
