I notice that a lot of the comments in the X post about the Feloni say that it's a fraud / joke. I'm also VERY skeptical about firing those bullets from a drone with what I'd think is massive recoil for something necessarily so light. Fire one shot and lose all attitude control! But I admit I don't know enough specifics to say definitively that those are fake.
Drones have software that automatically adjusts when perturbed. The caliber of the gun is small, so I wouldn't call it a massive recoil. Size of an american .22 inch caliber.
The drone would move back if it was still, or slow down if it was moving forward, with respect to were the gun is pointing.
Website, spec sheet, published press release, and reported widely. If it is fake it is masterful.

That Feloni dronegun is supposedly a .223 (5.56mm) rather than .22. There's a fair bit more recoil from a .223 compared to a .22 but not enough to upset a drone I think. Judging by the number of sites publishing the press release I don't think it's fake as such but I don't think it actually exists either.

Georgia is literally in a bad spot. Wish them the best, but regional geopolitics do not portend well:Slightly off topic, the protests in Georgia:
‘I’m in awe of our young people’: How Georgia’s Gen Z are taking on teargas, rubber bullets and the threat of arrest
The Georgian government’s bid to pass Russia-style law has met spirited opposition, mostly from young people keen to lean towards Europe
A.I. controlled fighter jets are shown to be better than humans in some situations. The number of situations will increase over time. What does this mean for Ukraine? What we've known for a long time: drone warfare is the future.
US Plans 1000+ AI-Controlled Fighters; Why 'Flying Computers' Pose Big Threat To Human-Operated Jets?
As the F-16 with an orange and white paint scheme went into the skies at midday as the sun shone brightly over California, it seemed like a routine sortie. But nothing about it was routine. The aircraft was not piloted by a human but by AI (artificial intelligence), and in its cockpit was US Air […]

That doesn't make sense to me. Would defeat the purpose of the tests and is contrary to what has been reported: successful dogfight. But as you may know the A.I. has some strong advantages in sensing the opponent aircraft. It can use multiple sensors simultaneously to gather information such as camera, radar, infra red, etc.. The A.I. can react faster than a human. The A.I. can theoretically zoom the camera onto the opponent and watch the surfaces (ex rudder) change and react to that before the opponent aircraft has changed direction.
