The new "Yolka" drone interceptor is 3D printed without special technologies. However, the anti-aircraft drone has performed well against aerial targets, engaging them at a range of up to 3 km, said the senior fire group officer with the call sign Foma.

He noted that "Yolka" "hooks" targets very quickly. Launching is very simple – you just need to disarm the interceptor and release it into the sky.
The sensations are great. This is new for us, and we admire it – it shows good performance, it's effective.
Anti-aircraft gunner Daniil added that it takes a maximum of 10 seconds to prepare "Yolka". The interceptor is equipped with a video camera with an artificial intelligence system – if it locks onto a target, it won't let go.

There is no explosive device here, it's completely hollow, printed on a printer. The principle of operation is inertia: at a speed of 200 km/h, "Yolka" hits the target, striking it.
Recall that, unlike an anti-aircraft missile, "Yolka" engages drones by ramming them. The interceptor's mass is 1.3 kg, and its detection and engagement range is up to 3 km.
