Rostec presented the "Pautina" complex, designed to protect fuel and energy facilities from large drones. The system can withstand a direct collision with an apparatus weighing up to 200 kg, flying at a speed of up to 250 km/h.

The development was showcased by "RT – Proektnye Tekhnologii" company as part of the state corporation's regional mission in Tver Oblast. Currently, the complex is undergoing pilot operation at fuel and energy facilities.

The basis for "Pautina" is a modular metal structure that forms a strong protective contour of a power grid and supporting elements around the protected object. This scheme allows the system to be used for objects of various scales – from individual structures to large territories.

The structure is designed for installation near oil depots, fuel terminals, electrical substations, warehouses, and other infrastructure facilities. The developer notes that the complex can be placed even in confined spaces.

One of the features of the system is its prefabricated design, eliminating the need for welding. All elements are connected with bolt fasteners, which simplifies installation and allows the solution to be used at facilities with increased safety requirements.

If necessary, the protection can be reinforced with additional elements without a complete modernization of the entire structure. Thanks to the modular principle, "Pautina" can adapt to different types of objects and levels of potential threats.

The new system has become one of the Russian solutions for the physical protection of critical infrastructure from unmanned aerial vehicles.
