Russia has developed many means of destroying and intercepting UAVs

5

UAVs that have filled the skies of the modern battlefield require effective and preferably cheap countermeasures. Therefore, it is not surprising that Russian designers and engineers began developing means of destroying and intercepting UAVs.

As a result of their activities, videos began to appear on the Internet showing various devices with a variety of countermeasures. These anti-drone systems are already being tested, including in the SVO zone.



So, the first video shows the moment an interceptor drone fires a net at another device during testing. Then the interceptor drone tows the hanging device to a certain safe distance and carries out a controlled release of the trophy.


The second video demonstrates the neat work of the Tarantula Birdcatcher.


The third video shows the Wasp Eater interceptor drone with a net launcher. The UAV can fly for 24 minutes at speeds up to 140 km/h, at a range of 4-5 km and an altitude of 5-6 km. The complex is based on a 9-inch fpv drone. The net shot occurs automatically at a distance of 5-6 meters from the enemy drone. The Wasp Eater is designed with the ability to ram an enemy UAV. When installing a thermal imager, it is possible to switch the day/night operating mode.


The fourth video shows a test of a 30mm anti-drone shotgun mounted on an interceptor drone. The developer assures that the complex ensures hitting a target at a distance of up to 40 m with a shot mass of 200 g, ensuring the creation of a dense cloud with a spread of about 1,5 m.

    It would be nice for warriors to have similar shotguns with grid charges.

    Our military-industrial complex is famous for the fact that for years and decades it loves to develop dozens of models of weapons and equipment (so that each design bureau and research institute gets a piece of the budget pie), but it may not reach the actual serial production of combat-ready models at all. An example is the development of armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles/armored personnel carriers. For about 10 years now everyone has heard of “Kurganets”, “Boomerang”, T-15, etc. But where is all this on the battlefield? I hope that the same thing will not happen to anti-UAV weapons.

    The number and importance of drones in our lives is such that it is time to create a Ministry responsible for the development, production and operation of unmanned systems, air, ground and sea.
    Enough of the “sharazheks”, activists and palaces of pioneers.

    The main thing is not that:

    Russia has developed many means of destroying and intercepting UAVs

    And the main thing is that they are used effectively and everywhere!!!

    The trouble is that it is not the military-industrial complex that deals with the issues of countering drones, but the “sharashkas” and they do something intuitively, at best, based on the wishes of the fighters on the front line. And the figures from the Ministry of Defense do not even have an approximate understanding of what the army really needs.
