Ukrainians used Soviet anti-air guns to blast drones from the sky.
Footage showed a soldier using a Zu-23-2 gun, which was first produced in the 1960s to shoot down an Iranian-made Shahed.
More video taken at night shows another drone being blasted.
There are fears Russia will strike Ukrainian power plants over winter.
Kyiv has been given some state-of-the-art Western systems to stop them, but is also turning to old technology to help the fight.
