Great video, wrightwing! Thanks for sharing :thumb:

Impressive indeed. It's impressive how they even try to shot down one of those Shahed type of drones with a LGB! :shock:
“Active stealth” is what the ignorant nay sayers call EW and pretend like it’s new.

I'm sure they appreciate being able to carry 42 APKWS in addition to 8 AAMs, after that lesson.

That LGB thing might've worked if it had proximity fuze... Of course such a small moving target is likely quite difficult to lase sufficiently for LGB to guide on.
