A Ukrainian volunteer used a World War I–era Maxim machine gun to shoot down a Russian Kh-69 cruise missile during a massive strike on Kyiv in September 2025. The missile, valued at roughly $500,000, was brought down with just $11 worth of ammunition.
Known by the pseudonym “Hrek,” the defender described the takedown as a one-in-1,000 chance that prevented greater destruction. Reports confirm the extraordinary contrast between Russia’s most advanced weapons and Ukraine’s use of century-old firepower.
