Bekhan Ozdoev, Industrial Director of the arms cluster of Rostec State Corporation, confirmed that lasers could become the most effective means of air defense in the future. Such a weapon will allegedly be capable of destroying hundreds of thousands of drones. Details are provided by TASS.
According to Ozdoev, the version is becoming more and more clearly outlined that armored vehicles (the same tanks) will gradually fade into the background, but drones will play a decisive role. Hence the need to design new means of UAV confrontation.
"Air defense systems will be improved, the number of interceptor drones will increase, laser and electromagnetic countermeasures systems will develop. This can negate the possibility of effective use of drones by the enemy in general. If he had at least hundreds of thousands of them," the Rostec representative believes.
EADaily also informed earlier that Kalashnikov had tested a new type of ammunition in the SMO zone.
