A Ukrainian soldier managed to shoot down a Russian cruise missile en route to Kyiv with nothing but a machine gun.
But in a small suburb just outside of Kyiv, a Ukrainian Territorial Defence volunteer nicknamed ‘Kipesh’ spotted a missile flying overhead and blasted it with a mounted machine gun, sending sparks flying off the rocket before it crashed into a nearby field.
The unit’s commander, who identified himself as ‘Hera’ added: ‘It’s almost impossible to hit a missile with a machine gun but it was done.’Earlier in the year, a Ukrainian pensioner managed towhen he appeared to shoot down a Russian fighter plane using nothing but an antique rifle. In the central city of Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s home town, a Russian missile hit a block of flats and buried the residents beneath a pile of rubble.Three people were killed in the strike, and thirteen more including four children were injured in the blast, according to rescue teams.
