Imagine a swarm of these drones attacking a target. The target will be a toast.

Russia,China can probably defend themselves from these attacks but what about other countries like Venezuela, Syria ? Already US tried to kill the Venezuelan leader by using a drone.

Rostec has developed a radar station to detect miniature drones

Moscow. October 10th. INTERFAX - Holding Roselektronika has developed a radar station for the detection of small unmanned aerial vehicles, the press service of the state corporation Rostec.
      "Holding" Roselektronika "state corporation" Rostec "has developed a radar station for the detection of small drones at a distance of 7.5 km. The equipment is built entirely on the domestic electronic component base and has no analogues in Russia," - said in a statement.
      To date, the first samples of equipment have been created, and field tests of the radar station have been conducted.
      According to the state corporation, the target radio illumination station (ROC) is capable of detecting and tracking small and low contrast targets with an effective dispersion area of ​​30 square centimeters, a wide speed range and the ability to fly at low and very low altitudes.
      "When an object is detected, the equipment transmits information to the control tower or to the control center," the press service said.
      It is noted that the multi-channel Ka-band radar has small dimensions - 325x240x230 mm.
      "The Russian Orthodox Church is located on a rotary device that provides visibility in all directions. The station can be controlled either manually from a laptop or automatically," the message said.
      According to the executive director of Rostec Oleg Yevtushenko, whose words are given in the message, modern small-sized drones have a large list of functions and can pose a great threat, so the new development has a great prospect.
      “This is not only about special drones made in an industrial environment. It can be a toy copter from a children's store or a craft made by handicrafts. Traditional radar methods do not provide reliable detection of UAVs with a small reflective surface. The development of our holding“ Roselectronika ”successfully solves this task. Of course, the novelty will be in demand among both special and civil customers, "said Yevtushenko.
      The complex was developed by specialists of JSC "NPP" Salute "(part of the" Russian Electronics ") in conjunction with ICD" Torch "(included in the group of EKR" Almaz-Antey ").

Amen. Nothing can compare, specially when preast is rotating.  

The calculation of the newest radar "Casta" Southern Military District discovered a drone "enemy" near Rostov
In the field, the servicemen complied with the standards for the deployment of the station, and also worked out various inputs for detecting air objects, determining the range, flight altitude and route characteristics.


Specialists of the air defense of the 150th motorized rifle division of the Southern Military District (YuVO) operated the newest radar station (radar) "Kasta" on a tactical-special exercise for detecting and tracking air targets of a conditional enemy in the Rostov region

In the field, the servicemen complied with the standards for the deployment of the station, and also worked out various inputs for detecting air objects, determining the range, flight altitude and trail characteristics.

Particular attention was paid to the development of tasks for the detection of air objects, including airplanes, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and winged missiles, flying at low altitudes and extremely low altitudes, against the background of intense local reflections from hydromagnets.

To simulate an air target, a complex with an unmanned aerial vehicle was used.

In addition, the calculation of the Kasta radar station performed the transmission of coordinates to the command post of the anti-aircraft missile subunit, equipped with the Tor-M complexes, with the further destruction of the drone by electronic launches.

More than 300 military personnel were involved in the exercise, and more than 50 units of special equipment were also involved.

Yeah the radar dishes did look like they were originally from the 60's.

Pischal-PRO

"Rostec's Automatics concern has brought to market the most powerful hand-held system for fighting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), said Vladimir Kabanov, General Director of Automatics.
"The Pishchal-PRO anti-UAV complex is positioned on the market as the lightest and at the same time powerful manual complex, both for individual and as part of other complexes of application. Yes, there are a lot of manual complexes on the market, but our complex "Pishchal-PRO" is the best in its class," Kabanov said.
The "uniqueness "Squeaked" is this: weighing in at 4 kg, low power, number of concurrent ranges of opposition, we have achieved a range of action in 2000 m, what is the best indicator for systems of this type," — said Kabanov. He stressed that Pishchal-PRO does not pose any threats to the operator's health and has a medical certificate of user safety.

Isos wrote:So if they use for exemple the Irbis radar and focus the beam like when it tracks one target (max power at very small era) and move it randomly in the air, if it "touches" an UAV it should be enough yo damage it.

Using L band radars should be even better.

The main issue is that it needs to be a very focus beam.
