Ok, technically correct, in that drones are aircraft. But it's not the greatest description, and their main use is anti-drone, with a little anti-helicopter thrown in.

The ZSU-2 om which this is based was anti-aircraft when it was developed, in 1949, but that's not a thing anymore today. Works great on drones though!
