RAF Gunners: Drone Aces in Modern Air Defense

0:00On March 29th, R.A.F. regimen gunners just made history as the first drone aces knocking out five or more Iranian drones each, while guarding British, bases in the Middle East. These ground specialists blasted scores of those Shahed threats right out of the sky, earning the same A's title pilots gotten World War II for. Downing five enemies. They're using high-tech gear like early warning sensors, electronic warfare tools, and the rabid century system with lightweight missiles to track-and. Take down targets. This all kicked off with the US-Israeli conflict against Iran, putting UK bases under constant drone attacks night after night. Officials are hailing their courage and skill, with the armed forces minister calling it exceptional work under fire and brutal conditions. Even young gunners, some just 18 are fresh from training, stay locked in during long shifts, loading gear as missiles hit nearby, protecting. Lives and interests with total focus. Now, Defense Secretary John Healey announced plans to roll out more rapid-century systems to Kuwait and buy extra missiles for UK forces and allies.
