The interception has become a world precedent.

Operator of the Bulava unit of the Bohdan Khmelnitsky Independent Presidential Brigade Roman with the call sign "Hulk" shot down two Iranian-Russian "Shahed" drones. The military man himself was at a world-record distance from the point of shooting down.

The military was able to hit two enemy drones with the help of a drone-interceptor STING at a distance of 500 kilometers. This is according to a report by the manufacturer Wild Hornets in Telegram.

"Roman "Hulk" from the BULAVA unit shot down two Shaheds that were 500 kilometers away from him," the statement reads.

The Wild Hornets say this is the first time such a practice of shooting down enemy drones has happened. After all, no one before the Ukrainian military has not tried "at such a distance from the launch point to shoot down and not one, but two Shaheds".

"So when we say: farther - more. These are not just words! So further is more," the company representatives point out, hinting at further successful use of interceptor drones.
