Yesterday's downing of the Russian Ka-52 "Alligator" combat helicopter with the help of the Swedish RBS-70 MANPADS system by fighters of the 47th "Magura" brigade in the settlement of Novopokropivka, south of Robotino., Ukraine, August 17, 2023. Source: Мисягiн
P.S. Very good news: RBS-70 works well against Russian attack helicopters...
A Happy Ending

Ukrainian soldier shoots Russian cruise missile out of the sky with MANPAD
The Sun
This footage reportedly shows a Ukrainian Soldier using a MANPAD to shoot a Russian cruise missile out of the sky. The Man-portable air defence system, (MANPAD), is fired by the soldier and shoots towards the missile in the distance. Soldiers can be heard cheering as it makes contact with its target in the sky. The shot has been described as 'hard to pull off' in online discussion.
2022 Ukraine-Russian War

ईरान में दुर्घटनाग्रस्त अमेरिकी F-15 लड़ाकू विमान को लेकर बड़ा दावा सामने आया है। नई रिपोर्ट में आशंका जताई गई है कि विमान को चीन निर्मित कंधे से दागी जाने वाली मिसाइल से निशाना बनाया गया हो सकता है। यदि जांच में यह बात सही साबित होती है, तो यह केवल एक सैन्य घटना नहीं बल्कि अमेरिका, चीन और ईरान के बीच रणनीतिक समीकरणों को प्रभावित करने वाला बड़ा घटनाक्रम बन सकता है। क्या आधुनिक लड़ाकू विमान अब छोटे और पोर्टेबल हथियारों के सामने अधिक संवेदनशील हो रहे हैं? क्या यह घटना भविष्य की युद्ध रणनीतियों को बदल सकती है? और जांच में आखिर क्या सामने आ सकता है? पूरी रिपोर्ट पढ़ें और अपनी राय कमेंट में जरूर बताएं। इस खबर को उन लोगों तक भी पहुंचाएं जो रक्षा और अंतरराष्ट्रीय मामलों में रुचि रखते हैं। #worldnews #defense #military #geopolitics #breakingnews
So that $100 DIY MANPADS, huh? Absolutely incredible bit of engineering.
What enchants and invigorates me is the creator's manifesto (bottom of the page).
TL;DR, power to the people. Individual, civilian, dare I say guerrilla development of defensive tools against a multi-trillion dollar global military industrial complex's most expensive and powerful weapons - missiles.
Yes, it could be used offensively. But this release doesn't make safer, cheaper, or easier the development and production of materials capable of being used offensively, to use less-explosive language, if you catch my censorious drift.
What an incredible thing. The idea that people with 3D printers (which are a tool wherein one can beget many) and a crate of shockingly cheap electronics could defend against the greatest militaristic technologies of the twenty first century is fucking amazing.
