Upgrading ZU-23 anti-aircraft guns, increasing mass production of air defense systems, and creating a special small-sized and inexpensive anti-aircraft guided missile (SAM) will help repel massive drone attacks, according to military expert Igor Korotchenko.

The expert proposed upgrading the Soviet ZU-23 anti-aircraft artillery system by incorporating an optoelectronic station and implementing the principle of programmable projectile detonation to make it a high-precision means of eliminating drones.

There is a need for short- and medium-range air defense systems with specialized anti-aircraft guided missiles adapted for destroying aircraft-type UAVs. It should be a small, inexpensive, and mass-produced SAM.
