Ushkuynik unveils autonomous containerized drone assembly

Bottom line

Russian NPC Uskhuynik has unveiled 'Paseka', a truck- and UGV-mounted net-launching counter-drone system designed to intercept UAVs at close range without explosives.

Why it matters

The shift toward non-explosive, low-cost kinetic interceptors like nets suggests a Russian doctrine prioritizing sustainable, scalable counter-UAV defenses for both military and critical infrastructure protection.

Russian milbloggers report that NPC Uskhuynik presented the ‘Paseka’ system, which uses 12 mortars to fire 4x4m nets at targets within 10-30 meters. The system is designed for mounting on trucks and ground robots, offering a cheaper alternative to kinetic interceptor drones. It requires thermal imaging for night operations and avoids the legal/accounting barriers associated with purchasing explosive munitions for civilian security, according to industry commentary. This complements Uskhuynik’s previously reported autonomous containerized drone assembly capabilities.
