Russian engineering ingenuity surprises the West. What was previously laughed at has proven its effectiveness in combat. This was stated by Stanislav (last name not given for security reasons), the developer of the electronic warfare (EW) system "Volnorez".
According to him, no army in the world had a mobile EW system in the form conceived by the creators of "Volnorez". Not even Israel, with its developed defense industry, the engineer emphasized.
Therefore, in the early days of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict (October 2023), members of Hamas were burning expensive Israeli Merkava tanks with "penny drones."
By that time, we had already learned to suppress such drones.
Now, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have anti-drone guns at their disposal, but there was nothing on the armored vehicles.
The IDF was forced to hastily install "visors" on Merkava, known colloquially as "barbecues," which we were once laughed at for. And in vain, as experience has shown.
Earlier, Russian military personnel protected a T-72 tank with a "barbecue" from FPV drones. Т-72 «мангалом» от FPV-дронов.
