Russian patent for FPV countermeasures helmet

Bottom line

Russian channels report a patent for a tactical helmet with a fixed recoilless gun designed to counter FPV drones, aiming to provide infantry with a personal defense against loitering munitions.

Why it matters

While likely impractical for mass deployment due to recoil and accuracy issues, it signals Russian interest in personal-level counter-UAS solutions for infantry.

Russian inventors Yuri Lodyagin and Yuri Gablia have patented a tactical helmet equipped with a fixed recoilless gun to counter FPV drones. The system is designed to fire shot, bullets, pyrotechnics, or nets, with aiming controlled by head turns and laser guidance, and firing triggered by bite or gesture. The design specifically addresses recoil management. This represents a niche, albeit potentially impractical, attempt to provide individual soldiers with direct counter-drone capabilities in close-range engagements.
