24 trunks and shoots with a cheek: Russian soldiers came up with a new remedy to fight drones (video)

These machines were shown in the official video of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, published in Telegram. Baggy is built on the LADA NIVA chassis, and their front is equipped with a remote control unit with a 24 barrel unit. These weapons, probably created on the basis of recycled shotguns, probably shoots a cartridge, creating a volley fire for the most effective destruction of the target.

The back of the car is equipped with a manual installation with six AK-12 caliber assaults 7. 62x39 mm, equipped with a primitive target device of the "crosspiece". Meanwhile, the type of ammunition, which is equipped with an installation that resembles a miniature RSSL, remains the question. Yes, Rostekh recently introduced the latest ammunition developments, including unique IgLA cartridges designed to combat UAVs.

In addition, buggy can be equipped with "thermal traps"-a term that is commonly used to denote thermal counteraction, such as signaling missiles designed to blind the optics of enemy drones, including infrared and night chambers. According to the War Zone observers, the use of shotguns has become a common solution for both parties to the conflict in Ukraine, as they make it possible to effectively impress small air purposes in close distance.

However, the range and penetrating capacity of the cartridge remain serious restrictions. The Ukrainian military, for example, tested the shotguns against FPV-punks, but the results were unsatisfactory. The fact is that ammunition of such weapons can not always be so damaged by a drone that it fails and is not dangerous.

With this decision of the Russians, experts emphasized that the effectiveness of new buggy depends on the ability to quickly recharge the 24-barrel installation and its overall combat reliability. In addition, a multi -level approach that covers not only small arms, but also radio electronic wrestling, specialized ammunition and automated guidance systems is required to protect the drones.
