Looking like a scene out of Monty Python, a guy in Russia dressed in medieval garb knocked a drone out of the sky with a spear.

The impressive feat was fortunately caught on the victim’s mounted camera. Try to disregard the awkward fighting going on in the background and aim your focus on the bottom left part of the crowd. Around the 16 second mark you’ll see a man dressed in black emerge out of nowhere.

With deadly accuracy and impeccable form, the guy launches his spear right at the flying machine, and down it goes. The video was originally obtained by Russia Today, though we aren’t told much about the intriguing reenactment or what happened to the curious intruder.

Now we’ve got eagles, armed citizens, and Russian knights with spears protecting our skies from these technological infestations. I feel safer already.
