Ukraine’s $5,000 Drone Hunts $50,000 russian Aircraft | From a soviet Turboprop (video commentary)

05/03/2026

Ukraine has a propeller-driven Soviet turboprop that has already downed 222 Russian drones, with a Minigun. Now it’s air-launching interceptor drones from underwing hardpoints to kill whatever the gun can’t reach. A $5,000 drone hunting a $50,000 Shahed. From a Cold War cargo plane. In this video, I break down the An-28’s specs, the two interceptor drones now flying from its hardpoints, and why this improvised platform may be one of the most cost-effective air defense systems on the continent right now.
