Malloy Aeronautics ?150 is a new drone seen in Russian border regions so far nearly all drones used to attack inside Russia are either Chinese Mugin or a number of Ukrainian products

Sometimes kamikaze drones are shot down by infantry fire , note one of the soldiers switches to firing a shotgun

Alas it did not look like the shotgun bagged the drone, much as I want that to happen.

Given the short practical range of a shot gun buckshot , it most likely did not hit the drone.

Yes, there would really need to be a dedicated anti drone load to have any chance.
Something like the federal 'flite control' wad that holds on the pellets tightly together as a near slug for the first 15-25 yards before falling away, and loaded with tungsten shot made with proper spherical shot.
Even then it would be pretty meh given the speed and difficulty seeing a drone.
American 180 loaded with tracers would be better:
Title says it all. American 180 packed full of piney mountain .22 tracer. Only thing missing is the storm trooper outfit. Thanks to TacticalNooB42 for recor...

For now, EW is by far the best protection, DIJ and DIY drones are not designed to work with interference so can be hijacked with relative ease, and lots of chicken wire for protection against RPG carrying drones , altough new FPV drones use simple naked wire fuze so the chicken wire doesn't help much
Basicaly wires intermeshed but not touching till the impact makes a short circuit,
FPV drones are now being manufactured by the thousands
DNR group claims to be now ramped up manufacturing of near 1000 kamikaze drones per month , 7 inch kamikaze drone is sub 300$ build , most expensive are the Googles with the controller. While cheap to manufacture ,but i reckon FPV drones for now have relatively low effective rates as they are quite demanding to pilot i would be suprised if 1:5 makes it to enemy positions. Much more dependant on operator skill than any ATGM
