Russian military enterprise drone interceptor guns openly fight against the "kamikaze drone" threat (Jen Sato)-individual-Yahoo! Journalism
The Russian military company Rosoboronexport unveiled the drone interceptor gun used to shoot down high-altitude drones at the International Defense Exhibition (International Defence Exhibition and Conference:IDEX2021) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The drone interceptor gun weighs 3.5 kilograms and can be easily operated by human soldiers to shoot down drones within a range of 3 kilometers to 6 kilometers.
Drones used in military affairs have always been used for reconnaissance. But there have also been a lot of drones attacking recently, and they have actually been used actively in disputes. In particular, the kamikaze drone (Kamikaze Drone), which will attack as soon as the target is identified, is a major threat. During the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020, Azerbaijan attacked with Israeli-made kamikaze drones. Kamikaze drones, which attack from the sky in large numbers with small attack drones, are a terrible existence for humans on the ground, hoping to break it from the ground before launching an attack. As Russia, the "kamikaze drones" of neighboring countries are used in actual combat, causing great damage to enemy lines, which is also a major issue from the perspective of Russian security, and it is very important to intercept drones.
Nowadays, human soldiers shoot down high-altitude drones with intercept drone guns on the ground, and such soldiers can easily become targets of kamikaze drones. After intercepting drones and testing high-altitude drones, if you use weapons that intercept independently, human soldiers will be less likely to die as targets to rush into kamikaze drones.
