The "Posokh" project is powered by portable batteries, it can be installed on any armored vehicle. The target engagement range is about 1.5-2 km, at such a distance it is almost impossible to hit a drone with small arms.

The laser focuses on key components or the UAV body. The high temperature disables drones in fractions of a second - their motor fails, wires melt, and the internal components burn out.
