EDgun Kokoshnik hand-launched anti-drone drone with auto-acquisition

Bottom line

Russian manufacturer EDgun has presented the Kokoshnik, a hand-launched anti-drone drone capable of auto-acquiring targets up to 1.2km, as reported by Colonel Cassad.

Why it matters

The Kokoshnik represents a potential proliferation of lightweight, autonomous counter-UAS systems that could be deployed by small units, increasing the threat to low-altitude Ukrainian drones and requiring enhanced electronic warfare or kinetic defenses.

Russian milblogger Boris Rozhin reports that EDgun has unveiled the Kokoshnik, a small, hand-launched interceptor drone designed to counter aerial threats. The system features a 0.4kg warhead and is claimed to auto-acquire targets within a 1.2km range, with a planned top speed of 450km/h (currently reported at 300km/h). The presentation includes video evidence sourced from the @my_el_lab Telegram channel, highlighting Russia’s continued development of lightweight, man-portable counter-UAS solutions.
