It is dangerous for an ordinary person to shoot at drones, declaration General Director of the “Public News Service” Association “Aeronext” Gleb Babintsev. According to him, the device can detonate or spray a dangerous substance.
“I would not advise people to shoot at any aircraft. No matter who it turns out to be – the enemy or his own. <…> If suddenly, conditionally, you fired with a double-barreled shotgun, and the drone is carrying a cargo or other dangerous cargo, such a hit can cause an explosion or a spray of dangerous substances. Perhaps the enemy is just waiting for this, ”the expert warned.
He also noted that attempts to suppress the drone’s signal in a makeshift way would be futile. In addition, Babintsev warned that such actions can be criminally punished.
The expert emphasized that today Russia is protected from enemy drones. There is an air defense system that suppresses and eliminates UAVs.
