Russian military forces have adopted a new strategy to counter the threat posed by Ukrainian sea drones. Retired Colonel Anatoly Matviychuk, a military expert, revealed that the Russian forces are using underwater metal nets as a defense mechanism. These drones, often operating in a semi-submerged state, have proven difficult to detect. Assembled using spare parts and manufactured near Odessa, these drones have become an increasing concern for Russian authorities.
The deployment of metal nets serves as an effective deterrent, preventing enemy drones from attacking Russian ships and vital infrastructure. In addition, advanced radar technology and ship-based surveillance systems are being employed to detect and monitor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
However, the use of commercial vessels to launch these drones has further complicated the situation. The drones are disguised as civilian operations, making it challenging to differentiate between genuine and potential threats. As a result, the number of observation and reconnaissance tasks has significantly increased.
Russia has also made significant advancements in data collection systems for drones. Experts at “Aeroscript” have developed a series of protocols that enable seamless integration of UAVs into the “Skyguard” drone system, eliminating the need for additional modules such as transponders.
In other news, Russia recently unveiled next-generation lights designed specifically for school children. These innovative lights aim to enhance visibility and safety for young students.
