A Ukrainian drone has claimed a very old prize: a Russian M1910 machine gun—a type that first appeared in, you guessed it, 1910.
But it wasn’t just any M1910. The machine gun the first-person-view drone blew up seemed to be a Finnish modification of the basic M1910 that made it more reliable in brutal battlefield conditions.
A video that circulated online on Saturday depicts an explosives-laden FPV drone barreling toward a Russian bunker somewhere along the 600-mile front of Russia’s 22-month wider war on Ukraine.
A still-frame from the drone’s video feed clearly shows an M1910 machine gun poking from the bunker.
As the article states, it’s 1943 or later, not 1910.
