In the Strategic Missile Forces, an unusual defender took up combat duty. The Smoke-2 complex is not just a rocket launcher, but an active defense system for silos. Its task is to turn enemy drones into a proven target in just seconds.
Journalist Alexander Rogatkin in his Telegram channel said that remote-controlled modules are placed at each starting position. One carries 80 barrels of 5.45 mm caliber or eight blocks of ten pieces each. Only one such module can operate autonomously or under operator control from a distance of up to five kilometers.
The fire is conducted in volleys of ten rounds. The rate of fire and the density of the queue create the very "lead cloud" — a wall of metal that no drone can penetrate. Infrared spotlights are provided for night work. Any drone that tries to approach the mine with a nuclear missile is guaranteed to become a target.
