Crimean paratroopers of the Novorossiysk mountain airborne unit have developed an installation to counter enemy drones. This was reported in the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The installation is a bed for mounting two 7.62 mm PKT (Kalashnikov tank machine gun) machine guns with a night sight installed.
The turret can be installed in the back of a buggy-type vehicle. Servicemen move as part of convoys and cover them from air attacks.
Thanks to new developments, the air defense crews of the Crimean paratroopers have shot down more than a dozen enemy UAVs of various types, the defense department added.
