The Kalashnikov Concern presented the "Redut-UR" anti-drone system, designed to combat drones at short distances. The developer reported that the system has already undergone combat testing and is being used in real conditions.

The system is designed as a platform with two launchers. Each launcher is designed for 49 unguided 60 mm rockets, so the full ammunition load is 98 rounds. Optoelectronic modules are used to detect aerial targets, and the declared engagement range for drones approximately 0.5 × 0.5 meters in size reaches 800 meters.

"Redut-UR" can operate in a stationary version, be mounted on a vehicle chassis, or used on ships. However, the technical details of the system's operation have not yet been disclosed.

The project was first shown in 2025 as a concept, and in 2026, a full-size model was presented at the "National Security. Belarus-2026" exhibition.

According to a number of specialized experts, the concept of the system reflects a growing interest in using unguided missiles to solve short-range air defense tasks.

Such systems could become one of the most in-demand areas for the development of anti-drone systems. An additional advantage is the ability to ramp up serial production faster compared to traditional barrel anti-aircraft systems.
