Century-Old Maxim Gun Makes a Comeback as Anti-Drone Weapon in Russia-Ukraine War
Both Russian and Ukrainian forces have returned to the PM M1910 Maxim machine gun — a Soviet-era adaptation of a 19th-century design — to counter reconnaissance drones and kamikaze UAVs on the modern battlefield. The weapon's reliability, sustained fire capability, and abundant stockpiles make it a surprisingly effective low-tech answer to high-tech drone threats. Ukraine's National Guard has even formed mobile twin-Maxim units dedicated to aerial defense.
