The British military has a new piece of kit that vastly increases the chances of shooting down a drone with a rifle.
Around 500 SMASH X4 sighting systems are being used across the three services by close combat troops.
The device was developed by Israeli firm Smart Shooter, and was shown off to Forces News fitted to a 5.56mm L85 assault rifle by Squadron Leader Hugo Morris, a Counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems specialist from the RAF Regiment.
