Russian Federal Postal Service authorized to carry anti-drone weapons

Bottom line

Russian government officially adds anti-drone weapons to the approved equipment list for Federal Postal Service employees.

Why it matters

Indicates Russian state effort to decentralize counter-drone defense to critical civilian infrastructure workers, potentially altering the threat landscape for Ukrainian drones targeting logistics.

Russian government sources report that anti-drone weapons (air/sub/surface) have been added to the approved equipment list for Federal Postal Service employees. This marks a significant expansion of authorized counter-drone capabilities to civilian logistics personnel, likely in response to increased drone threats against infrastructure.
