The Russian Simbirsk-based Piranha Design Bureau announced preparations to begin serial production of an interceptor drone. The drone's name has not yet been announced. Piranha Design Bureau is known for its Piranha FPV drones, which were first used against M1 Abrams tanks. The Piranha interceptor drone is used at the tactical level and is designed to counter reconnaissance and attack drones, both fixed-wing and helicopter-based, operating at low and medium altitudes. The Piranha interceptor drone has no warhead; it destroys enemy drones using kinetic energy. A warhead may be added in the future. The Piranha interceptor drone features machine vision and self-homing. It is hand-launched and weighs only 2.8 kg. It can reach speeds of up to 275 km/h.
The Russian company Gumich RTK unveiled the "Impulse" robotic counter-drone system. The Kulibin Club presented the new system. The system consists of two tracked robots: the "Impulse-RLS" and the "Impulse-Zveroboy." The "Impulse-RLS" robot searches for targets, while the "Impulse-Zveroboy" launches interceptor drones. The system's radar detects fixed-wing UAVs at ranges of 4 to 18 km and small drones at ranges of 4 to 7 km. The radar also detects small aircraft, with a detection range of up to 30 km. The interceptor type has not been disclosed; the "Yolka" interceptor drone was previously used.
