Anti-aircraft UAV destruction systems have begun to yield to interceptor drones in terms of cost-effectiveness. After all, when solving the problem of combating drones costing several hundred dollars, spending missiles costing tens of thousands is quite wasteful.
It is in this direction that developers of weapons designed to combat drones are now actively working.
An interceptor drone with an automatic carbine, UAVs carrying jamming systems and throwing nets - the ideas came from the understanding that anti-aircraft missile systems (SAMs) are often not the best solution for countering drones.
Any developments that are conducted by traditional Russian defense industry enterprises have serious prospects. For example, the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern. A few days ago, information appeared in the media that it had patented an interceptor drone equipped with a defeat system with a twin small arms complex.
Interceptor drones can be used not only in the literal sense against flying UAVs. They can also hunt for sea and land unmanned vehicles. One of the most effective means of combating unmanned sea boats has become FPV drones attached to the Navy.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a foreign country wanted to purchase the latest S-500 Prometheus air defense systems.
