Russian experts have successfully developed methods to protect tanks and other armored vehicles from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and these techniques are now set to be implemented in the military. This significant development was revealed by military expert Yuri Knutov in an interview with News.ru.
Knutov emphasized the importance of making these methods the norm within the military, stating, “It is crucial that this becomes a standard practice rather than just isolated instances. I can confidently say that these techniques are effective.”
The new methods for safeguarding armored vehicles against UAV attacks were showcased at the recent “Army 2023” forum. Tank turrets were equipped with anti-drone shields and jammers, while the displayed armored vehicles were fitted with special networks designed to reduce radar and thermal visibility.
In addition to these advancements, Russia has also introduced the “Chistyulya” complex, a state-of-the-art system specifically designed to counter drones.
This latest achievement has garnered praise from Western media, with many commending the impressive speed of Russian tank production.
These developments follow earlier reports from Uralvagonzavod, a leading Russian tank manufacturer, regarding the successful implementation of drone protection measures for their tanks.
The implementation of these innovative protection methods marks a significant step forward in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of Russian armored vehicles. As threats from UAVs continue to evolve, it is crucial for military forces to adopt advanced systems and strategies to counter them. With Russia’s demonstrated success in this field, it is expected that these techniques will become standard practice in the military, further enhancing the country’s defense capabilities.
