Vladimir Ryzhkin, a developer from the Moscow region, proposed a new principle for defeating drones. Instead of scattering individual elements, the munition should eject a connected net structure towards the target.

The main feature of the solution is that the damaging elements are connected into a single radial unit. According to the author's idea, such a structure should unfold after firing and increase the probability of snagging a drone, including its rotating elements.

At the same time, the munition is bidirectional. A charge is placed in the central part, and a non-damaging counterweight is located on the opposite side from the damaging elements. Their mass is selected to be identical to compensate for the impulse during firing.

Ryzhkin considers the absence of recoil to be the key advantage – this scheme is proposed for use on unmanned interceptor platforms, for which a strong impulse during firing can disrupt control and aiming accuracy.

Another unusual detail is the marking on the end of the cartridge case. It should eliminate errors during loading and show the operator the side that needs to be directed towards the target.

Earlier, details emerged about a new interceptor for space bombers, capable of accelerating to Mach 20 – 24,500 km/h near the ground and 21,500 km/h in the stratosphere.
