Russian 'Paseka' system captures drones with mortar-fired nets

Bottom line

Russian developer NPC Ushkivnik presents 'Paseka', an anti-drone system using 12 mortar launchers to fire 4x4m nets at 10-30m range for kinetic drone capture.

Why it matters

Offers NATO and allied forces a potential counter-drone solution for protecting critical infrastructure where explosive countermeasures are prohibited or risky, though its operational effectiveness remains unverified.

Russian developer NPC Ushkivnik has presented the ‘Paseka’ anti-drone system, which utilizes 12 mortar launchers to fire 4x4m nets at ranges of 10-30 meters. The system is designed to capture small UAVs kinetically without explosives, allowing for safe recovery and analysis near sensitive infrastructure. This represents a shift towards non-explosive, kinetic counter-drone measures for protected areas.
