Russian servicemen downed a US RQ-20 Puma drone with hardware intact, a counter-drone expert told Sputnik.

“Specialists of the electronic warfare group in the Zaporozhye region managed to ground an American RQ-20 Puma drone. It was a rare case in which it was possible to land the drone with its components unaffected, so to speak. We have a few samples of drone systems at our disposal. We will work with them,” he said.

“Near the RQ-20 was a Baba Yaga drone, which was shot down with small arms. Upon inspection, it turned out that the copter was equipped with a Starlink repeater and a drop system with two ammunition,” the specialist added.
