Anti-drone? You're not going to hit any jets with that, unless you're supremely, insanely lucky.

Ok, technically correct, in that drones are aircraft. But it's not the greatest description, and their main use is anti-drone, with a little anti-helicopter thrown in.

The ZSU-2 om which this is based was anti-aircraft when it was developed, in 1949, but that's not a thing anymore today. Works great on drones though!
