Tests of unmanned ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns for combating enemy UAVs were conducted at the Kapustin Yar training ground. Remotely controlled fire complexes demonstrated high effectiveness in hitting targets simulating unmanned aerial vehicles of various types.
During the tests, the accuracy of aiming, the speed of reaction to changes in the situation, and the reliability of the systems in electronic warfare conditions were evaluated.
The developers note that robotic ZU-23-2s significantly increase the safety of personnel, allowing firing from cover or from remote positions.
The results obtained will be used to further improve combat capabilities and integrate the systems into a unified air defense system. In the future, it is planned to equip units stationed in areas with an increased threat of drone attacks with these complexes.
ZU-23-2 is a Soviet twin anti-aircraft gun, adopted by the Soviet Army in 1960.
Technical characteristics of the system:
- projectile caliber — 23 millimeters;
- ammunition is fed using a cartridge belt;
- rate of fire — 2000 rounds per minute;
- firing range — 2.5 kilometers;
- altitude of fire — up to 2 kilometers;
- it takes 30 seconds to switch from the stowed position to the combat position.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Multik electronic warfare system has been introduced to protect helicopters from FPV drone strikes.
