Several autoloader style shotguns like the Remington Model 11 and Browning Auto-5, use the recoil energy to cycle the next round into the chamber, which considerably reduces recoil.Too much recoil I think.
I must admit I have often thought that the Ukrainians should be fitting Bren guns to high speed fixed wing drones for use as drone killers and for strafing. They would need to fit a bigger magazine but the Ukrainians are good at improvisation so that should not be a problem.
As far as I know the Bren was the only MG that had negative recoil - that means it moves towards the target when fired - so that makes it ideal for fixed wing drones where you do not want a short burst to stall the drone.
It still recoils, it just feels really different from the long recoil impulse of the action, first from the *bang* and then all that metal sliding around.Several autoloader style shotguns like the Remington Model 11 and Browning Auto-5, use the recoil energy to cycle the next round into the chamber, which considerably reduces recoil.
The belt-fed shotguns follow this same design.
Very good video!An interesting Video showing how the Ukraine F16's differ from the standard USAF F16. Plus a fair amount of the Electronic warfare approaches.

Any gas operated recoil systems will be less recoil than inertia recoil(spring) system...But inertia recoil systems are usually lighter than gas operated shotguns/rifles..It still recoils, it just feels really different from the long recoil impulse of the action, first from the *bang* and then all that metal sliding around.
I think it -feels- less, but that is really a subjective feeling.
The point the article mentions fighting for strategically less important areas is understandable. I agree with the idea of striking the enemy where he ain't is better than just throwing elite units into a meat grinder.

Who said the russians can't be innovative?

If the Russians were worried about the F16, The Gripen really will cause nightmares
The main benefit I see with the Gripen is the potential that it could be easier to support with limited/rapidly trained technicians.If the Russians were worried about the F16, The Gripen really will cause nightmares
