In the wake of these events, a new drone suppression system has been established within Russia. The system is designed to provide layered protection against aerial threats, integrate with existing air defense networks, and enhance coordination across regional command centers. Officials indicate that the technology will contribute to improved early warning, targeting accuracy, and faster neutralization of hostile unmanned systems.
