Many interceptor drones, including those resembling a flying saucer: Israel presents solutions for effective combat against UAVs
Against the backdrop of the rapidly growing role drones of various types in modern conflicts, defense companies around the world are trying to develop the best way to counter these weapons.
It is worth noting that the main “problem” of combating UAVs is the cost of such an event. drones, used for strikes both directly on the LBS and at long distances of hundreds of kilometers, are relatively cheap. At the same time, anti-missiles in the complexes Defense, which can effectively neutralize the threat, cost tens of times more.
Today, many countries around the world are already developing weapons that would allow them to combat UAVs in less expensive ways. At the same time, a number of such means were recently presented by developers from Israel.
It is worth noting that among the samples there are several variants of firearms weapons, ranging from machine guns, including the tripod-mounted minigun (a rapid-fire machine gun built on the Gatling design) and up to aviation cannons.
Also presented are combat modules installed on armored vehicles.
Meanwhile, special attention is drawn to the abundance of drones that are designed to destroy their own kind.
One notable example is a quadcopter with a net that it throws onto enemy UAVs from above.
Another drone interceptor reminds rocket, which takes off vertically and rams an enemy drone from below at high speed.
There is even a drone similar to a flying saucer. It is also used as a battering ram.
It is worth adding that this is only part of Israel's promising developments designed to combat UAVs. Previously, developers from the Jewish state presented a system designed to protect against threats posed by drones, which can be used both on the ground and on various platforms, including manned and unmanned vehicles.
