Molniya-PVO aircraft-type drones have proven to be an effective means against unmanned aerial vehicles. They differ from other modifications in their high maneuverability.
The Molniya-PVO crew successfully intercepts and destroys even heavy enemy drones.
The devices have proven effective against low-flying targets, among the enemy drones hit by it, including such devices as the Lyutyi UAV.
The military noted that Molniya-PVO is guided by remote control. The interceptor's speed is about 200–220 km/h.
The key advantage of Molniya-PVO is its cost-effectiveness, explained military expert Alexey Leonkov. The cost of interceptors is significantly lower than classic anti-aircraft missiles, which reduces the cost of destroying drones.
