The General Director of the Vector Research Institute, Sergei Skorykh, stated that experts from the Ruselectronics holding, part of Rostec, are developing equipment to arm armored vehicles with anti-drone systems designed to electronically suppress unmanned aerial vehicles. This information was reported by TASS, the state news agency.
Skorykh noted that parallel work is ongoing to deploy anti-UAV systems on wheeled platforms, including armored chassis, broadening the range of mobile counter-UAV solutions for ground forces.
Earlier, experts from the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCBR) created an FPV interceptor complex aimed at neutralizing Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles and low-flying manned equipment. The system is part of ongoing efforts to enhance battlefield airspace awareness and response capabilities.
On July 31, the Sapphire electronic warfare system underwent tests against various types of unmanned aerial vehicles within a designated military operations zone. It was employed to safeguard Russian military personnel operating in field engineering construction from enemy drones.
Previously, the general director of the Rybinsk Instrument Production Plant, Andrei Komogortsev, announced that a new complex to combat mini-drones had been developed by the Ruselectronics holding, capable of both detecting and suppressing drone activity.
There were earlier reports indicating that drone operators in Russia could be identified or tracked as part of ongoing security measures.
