Ukraine's air defences praised the effectiveness of the Viktor anti-aircraft machine gun in shooting down Russian Shahed combat drones. The Ukrainian military published a video of the Viktor anti-aircraft machine gun in action.
Mobile anti-aircraft light vehicles, the MR-2 Viktor, were provided to Ukraine by Excalibur Army, a Czech company. This vehicle is equipped with 14.5mm anti-aircraft twin guns mounted on the rear of a Toyota Land Cruiser to counter combat drones.
The MR-2 Viktor comes with day and night sights for aerial targets. The Czech-made anti-aircraft gun can shoot down and destroy drones and helicopters. Viktor has a maximum firing range of up to around 2 km.
The Czechs provided Ukrainians with 15 of these mobile anti-aircraft light vehicles. The Viktors have become an excellent help for the Ukrainian military to defend cities from massive Russian drone attacks.
