Russian milbloggers report net-grenade anti-drone system analysis

Bottom line

Russian milbloggers analyze a net-grenade anti-drone system that uses threads to entangle rotors, noting its variable range, high cost, and need for precise detonation control.

Why it matters

Indicates Russian development or interest in net-based counter-drone systems, which could offer a different approach to countering UAVs with potentially lower collateral damage than shrapnel.

Russian milbloggers provide an analysis of a net-grenade anti-drone system that uses threads to entangle rotors instead of shrapnel. The analysis notes that while the system offers variable range, it is high cost per shot and requires precise distance measurement and detonation control. This highlights Russian interest in alternative counter-drone technologies beyond traditional kinetic and electronic warfare methods.

    Интересный ход в эволюции антидронных средств (но само видео сделано возможно с помощью нейронки). По сути такой концепции, это развитие сеткомета в направлении гранаты с дистанционным подрывом. Только вместо осколков, множество нитей, в которых запутываются винты. Удобнее чем се
