The crew of the American air defense system AN/TWQ-1 Avenger destroyed the Russian-Iranian attack UAV shahed in the Kyiv region.

The video of the damage was made public on November 10.

Our anti-aircraft guns tracked down an enemy kamikaze drone and destroyed it at a distance of about 1,5 kilometers.

AN/TWQ-1 Avenger is an HMMWV-based anti-aircraft missile system with a fixed turret, two launchers for 4 FIM-92 Stinger missiles and a 12,7mm Browning M2 machine gun.

The Avenger has a guidance system with an infrared camera, an optical sight and a laser range finder.

Its main targets are UAVs, KR, low-flying aircraft and helicopters.

The advantage of the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger is the fire control system, thanks to which the commander or gunner can select a target and transmit data to other units.
