The objective of this commentary is to determine several parameters of the shooting down of slow flying objects.1 If we have some basic information regarding the motion of the drone/helicopter and we also know the velocity with which the bullet will be discharged, then we may evaluate the angle of projection (a) so that the bullet will shoot down the drone/helicopter even if it has manoeuvring effect due to acceleration or retardation. Obviously, the conclusions of the commentary will also hold if any other objects in the air replace the drone/helicopter. The reason that we have specifically concentrated on the drone/helicopter is because it is practically possible for a bullet to strike it. In the case of fighter jets, which usually move at great speed, further incentive momentum would be required during the motion to enable a striking projectile to make contact with them in the available time. This is possible for a guided missile, but not a bullet.
