Another video of testing the "Staff" air defense laser system, designed to combat drones, has been published online.
During the tests, the laser of the "Staff" system burned through a 10-mm steel plate at a distance of 100 meters. Previously, it destroyed a drone engine in the same way at a distance of 500 meters.
The main tests of the prototype of the first laser complex will be conducted by the developers at the end of August. During these tests, the system will "work" on targets simulating the Ukrainian long-range "Lyutyi" aircraft-type UAV. The system should intercept targets at a distance of up to 1.5 km.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the latest R-77M missiles with a range of 190 km have entered service with the Su-35S fighters.
