The "Silok" and RB-504A-E counter-UAV systems caused a stir among foreign delegations at the Defence Services Asia exhibition in Kuala Lumpur. This was stated to TASS by a representative of the developer company Spetsialny tekhnologichesky tsentr as part of the united Rosoboronexport exposition.
"Silok" is positioned as a dual-use system suitable for protecting civilian infrastructure and military facilities. The military version of the RB-504A-E is tailored for suppressing the control channels of strike UAVs.
The key difference from foreign counterparts is the combined detection method: in addition to classic radio reconnaissance, the systems use a radar station. This makes it possible to detect targets operating in radio silence mode.
Against the backdrop of the mass use of FPV drones on the front line and strikes on rear-area enterprises, Russian developers have accumulated a large body of data on enemy tactics. The result was a product line covering the full spectrum of threats, from commercial quadcopters to heavy loitering munitions. Export interest confirms that niche solutions with combat-proven experience are displacing universal Western "jammers" on the market, as they were not designed for operation in a dense electronic warfare environment.
