THIS is the incredible moment a Ukrainian helicopter fires a Russian drone into the air.
Footage shows an American-made minigun strapped to a Soviet-era plane firing rapidly at the device, causing it to explode and fall to the ground.
The M134 minigun can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute without overheating.
Video captured by a Ukrainian soldier shows Russia’s Geran drone floating through the air before being shot down by the weapon.
The device then crashes into a field where it explodes in a large ball of flames.
The impressive blitz is another example of Ukraine’s improved versatility in attacking Russian aircraft.

It comes as Vladimir Putin suffered a humiliating blow when a clever team of resistance spies helped orchestrate a precise attack on one of his most valuable pieces of war technology.
The attack was carried out by the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF).
SOF units managed to disable the mobile S-400 Triumph surface-to-air missile launcher in the village of Uyutne near Yevpatoria while it was on combat duty.
The S-400, worth more than $1.26 billion, is used by the Russian military to track and destroy air targets at long ranges.
Putin has also used it to attack Ukrainian territory during his brutal war.
Dramatic first-person drone footage shows a barrage of Kiev kamikaze drones from Ukraine’s main intelligence agency GUR hurtling towards the moving air defense system.
The launcher continued to smoke after the drones exploded on impact, causing a massive inferno.
Drone operators used the Starlink-supported onboard systems along with the SOF’s FP-2 drones to completely destroy the valuable system.
According to reports, the Russian 92N6E multifunction radar and autonomous power supply equipment for the S-400 command post were also destroyed.
The Ukrainian intelligence specialists also successfully hit the Russian army’s AORL-1AS and P-18 Terek radar systems.
A large ammunition depot of Russia’s 18th Army was also hit by a devastating drone strikes on October 6.
Separate footage showed kamikaze drones crashing through the roof of the depot at full speed.
Resistance spies working in occupied Crimea pinpointed the location of Russian assets, according to top Kiev officials.

While Ukrainian citizens are targeted by deadly rocket attacks almost every night in the country’s major cities, including Kiev.
