Night FPV interceptors are being tested in Russia, which should enhance the capabilities of mobile anti-aircraft groups when operating in the dark. The new devices are being developed as a supplement to the daytime interceptor drones already in use, including systems such as "Yolka."
Night anti-aircraft drones are designed to operate in limited visibility and allow for expanded airspace control.
The key feature is the use of the "lock-on and forget" principle. After capturing the target, the drone continues to move automatically without constant operator control. This reduces the load on the calculation and increases the efficiency of the interception.
It is expected that after the completion of testing, the new FPV interceptors will begin to be used in conjunction with daytime systems.
Meanwhile, the stealthy "Yolka" drones have begun to be integrated into the operation of the Pantsir anti-aircraft defense systems. Interceptors cover the complexes during reloading.
