A new device for combating enemy drones was tested on the front line — the "Kolokolchik" net launcher. It is attached to a standard "Mavic" and fires a net that tangles the drone's propellers, after which it falls to the ground.
In combat conditions, "Kolokolchik" proved itself to be highly effective — especially against the so-called "zhduns." Another advantage is that a single shot can take down several targets at once.
During range tests, there was one malfunction: the net did not fully deploy because the device had not been tightened securely enough. The fighters took this point into account — in combat conditions, the problem did not recur.
Overall, we liked the product — light, simple, well thought out, and technologically advanced. Production can be scaled easily.
