Russia Designs Personal Drone Interceptor to Swat Enemy UAVs
Weighing just 2 kg, this new Russian mini-drone acts as a personal shield, intercepting enemy kamikaze UAVs from a safe standoff distance.
The patent materials lay out the details:
Folding design + handle for rapid launch
Positions above the target, fires, and then returns to the operator
Able to carry different kinetic weapons, such as a 25-g "Osa"-type round with 91 J of kinetic energy
Sufficient to destroy an enemy target's plastic body from a distance of several meters
Shot produces no significant recoil
Could also protect vehicles or deploy smaller drones as a "mother UAV"
