The calculations of "Yolka" interceptor drones began to work in conjunction with the "Pantsir" anti-aircraft missile systems during their reloading to achieve maximum efficiency in countering drones. The commander of the "BARS-Kursk" unit company with the call sign Aron told about the details of the interaction.
According to him, with "Yolka" behind him, you can safely work in mobile fire groups and confidently move around the points of combat work.
If we compare "Yolka" with "Pantsir", then "Pantsir" shoots down a target with a missile quickly, well and very effectively, but its reloading time is from 6 to 10 minutes. We have one team that specifically covers "Pantsirs" while it is reloading.
In comparison with the anti-aircraft missile of the "Pantsir", "Yolka" does not carry a warhead and strikes aerial targets with a kinetic strike. The weight of the interceptor is 1.3 kg, the range of capture and destruction is up to 3 km, the flight speed is up to 230 km/h.
The interceptor accelerates to 230 km/h, while electronic warfare equipment does not see it and cannot jam it — the control channel is missing.
