Improvised anti-aircraft weapons use not only Maxim machine guns, developed in 1910 and modernized in 1930, but also RPK-46 light machine guns and DShKM heavy machine guns. These combinations are designed to combat low-flying drones.
It seems that the Maxim machine gun, which has a firing rate of 250-300 rounds per minute and a maximum effective firing range of 3.8 kilometers, can be used against drones. The Maxim machine gun weighs 28.2 kilograms without mounting and ammunition.
