A Canadian chef turned drone pilot, known by the call sign "Butcher," successfully shot down a Russian Lancet drone using a fixed-wing drone, capturing the event on video. This landmark achievement, occurring after extensive training, marks Butcher as potentially the first foreign volunteer to accomplish such a feat. In his social media post, he expressed excitement over his first confirmed kill, emphasizing that it was significant since the Lancet serves a destructive tactical role on the battlefield. His actions are framed within the larger context of foreign volunteers aiding Ukraine in its defense efforts.
"I got my first confirmed kill as a pilot today, and this one saved lives, given it was a Lancet."
"Pretty cool to think that I might be the only non-Ukrainian in the world to have ever taken one down with a fixed wing drone."
