Russian forces have engaged in unconventional methods to counter Ukrainian drones, including the use of "automatic shotguns" and even throwing objects such as stones and rifle magazines. These incidents highlight the ongoing conflict's evolving nature, where both sides adapt to each other's tactics. Notably, a Russian soldier's attempt to neutralize a Ukrainian FPV drone with a rifle magazine backfired, leading to an explosion that likely resulted in his death. Some of these encounters took place near Rabotino.
