Signum: Shooting Down Shaheds as a “Hobby”

On their day off, three servicemen — Tourist, Shvaiger, and Bublyk — head out in a small bus to one of the hills in Donetsk region…
In the interview, Tourist shares:
🎙 “On July 11, 2025, I shot down my first Shahed — and finally smoked a cigar I’d been saving for months. I even took it with me to Madeira on vacation, waiting for the right moment. I proposed to my girlfriend there, she said yes — I thought I’d smoke it then, but forgot. And here — its time finally came.”
🎙 “In three working days, we shot down 7 Shaheds. That’s not much — we could have done more, but we simply ran out of equipment. If we had 20 drones, we would have taken down 20.”
🎙 “All interceptor drones are currently supplied exclusively by Sternenko. We are a mechanized brigade — we simply can’t afford this ourselves.”
