If previously the main tasks of air defense units included mainly combating large and armored objects, now they are confronted by a completely different enemy. However, the main task of air defense is the same - to protect its troops from threats from the air.
One of the main types of weapons that was designed to combat close air support aircraft and helicopters, and is now used against large reconnaissance drones, is MANPADS.
First, we set up an air observation post. From it, the shooter reports the characteristics of the aerial target. Based on them, we make a decision, and trained personnel act.
According to him, all weapons are used in a complex - the calculation of the ZU-23 automatic cannon, a shooter with a missile system, and a shooter at the air observation point, who corrects and supports with a machine gun. If an aerial target descends to low altitudes, then they begin to fire at it from small arms of various types, including shotguns.
Earlier it became known that Russian soldiers rebuilt T-55, T-62 and T-72 tanks into armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles.
