The Russian military-industrial complex has created a new complex capable of detecting and suppressing, including FPV drones and previously invulnerable drones with a control function in a wider frequency range. This was reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin by the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov.
"Now as for the EW. We have a new system, a new complex called "SICKLE-VS13D" — capable of detecting and suppressing, including FPV drones and previously invulnerable drones with a control function in a wider frequency range. Today, the SICKLE stands at many defense enterprises, including ammunition ones, and protects well enough from drone raids," Chemezov said.
He added that an airspace control system — mini-radars - has also been created.
"They pick up inconspicuous targets in the form of drones. Naturally, if they work in conjunction with "With a shell“, it is very effective. If it just stands as a detection of inconspicuous targets, then the information goes immediately to the headquarters of the air defense system, and certain measures are already being taken there to destroy,"the head of Rostec specified.
