Russia continues to improve measures to protect against enemy air attack weapons. An interesting video from the military has appeared on social networks, showing the use of an anti-aircraft defense (air defense) drone or drone interceptor "Yolka."
The footage shows how, after launch and a short flight, the anti-drone "Yolka" performs a skillful kinetic interception of a reconnaissance drone.
The "Yolka" is used on the principle of "fire and forget." The drone interceptor rams the target with the striking part of its body at speed, critically damaging the enemy's device.
The "Yolka" is equipped with a modern target acquisition and tracking system with elements of artificial intelligence. It can accelerate up to 250 km/h, the range is 3 km, the target engagement altitude is 2 km.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russian craftsmen have invented a new way to shoot down drones.
