A Ukrainian source reports that an An-28 aircraft, equipped with a Minigun M134D, destroyed a Gerbera-2 drone. The source notes that while the Gerbera-2 is a custom, single-unit design, it demonstrates effectiveness as a concept. The text also highlights aircraft like the AT-6 Wolverine and A-29 Super Tucano as being specifically designed to counter drone threats.

The source contrasts the cost-effectiveness of drone interception on the An-28 with the expense of launching AIM-9 missiles from F-16s. It suggests that having aircraft like the AT-6 Wolverine or A-29 in 2023 could have saved hundreds of lives and rendered the 'Alabuga' program less effective.
