A new video from Rostec State Corporation demonstrates the deployment of aerosol ammunition designed to shield military equipment from precision-guided threats. The footage, released via Rostec’s telegram channel, suggests this system will be fielded by the Russian Armed Forces before year’s end.
The accompanying description emphasizes that the technology boosts the survivability of armored assets on the modern battlefield by creating a protective veil around critical platforms.
According to Rostec’s press service, the shells are launched from existing launchers and form a curtain that envelops the equipment. This concealment disrupts the guidance of targeted laser or optically guided missiles, causing a misdirection or loss of tracking, thereby reducing hit probability.
Aerosol ammunition is slated for use with several key systems, including the Uragan-1M multiple launch rocket system, the PRP-4A and PRP-5A mobile reconnaissance posts, and the TOS-2 flamethrower system. In each case, the goal is to enhance defensive resilience against contemporary precision fires in diverse combat scenarios.
In related developments, Rostec has highlighted the advantages of the 6B47 Ratnik helmet as part of the Warrior military gear over comparable NATO equipment. The company notes that field experience indicates the helmet provides head protection well above NATO standards, contributing to increased survivability for soldiers in active operations.
