"Studied 8 months": The Armed Forces fighter revealed how he was able to knock down a missile from a machine gun (video)
On Friday evening, the 112th Brigade of the TEO of Kiev reported on Facebook that one of the machine gun fighters struck a missile that the Russian army launched one of the critical infrastructure in the capital one of the objects. After the bullet, the rocket changed the flight trajectory and fell into a field where it did not harm anyone. In a comment to the TV channel "Direct" the information was confirmed by the spokesman of the brigade Andriy Kovolev.
According to him, a 25-year-old Oleg Vasilyshyn, who has been serving in territorial defense since February 24, was a good shooter. Prior to a full -scale invasion of Russian troops, the new moon worked in a bookstore and did not have military experience, but after a few months of studying from the usual handmade Kalashnikov machine gun (RPC) he was able to knock down the winged rocket worth millions of dollars. Oleg Vasilyshyn himself told details in an interview with Radio Liberty.
According to the serviceman, during the air anxiety, he asked the commander whether it was possible to open fire without order and received permission, and in a few minutes noticed a missile in the sky. The fighter immediately erupted the machine gun and began to shoot queues. He was taught fire for warning for the last eight months, although it was the first real combat experience of Kiev. "Honestly, it was scary at first. Then I understand: the rocket lies, I look, I look, all the living.
I look at everyone: it turns out alive. Thank God! "Novinarna" stated that he did not believe in the history of a rocket, knocked out of small arms. According to him, theoretically winged rocket can be confused from the machine gun, but not from Kalashnikov's hand machine gun, which uses the cartridges of the caliber 7. 62, but at least from the large -caliber DSK (12. 7 × 108 mm). This is one chance for a million.
"Shahida" at a speed of 150 km/h is very difficult to knock down, and the winged rocket is 900 km/h . . . He flew at night, so the soldiers had to try very hard to notice him. The State Border Service assures that servicemen are constantly training to knock down the air targets from small arms. They also wrote what machine guns of the Armed Forces can get from the United States to fight UAV.
