Concrete 'sarcophagus' bunkers protect substations against mid-range drone warheads but not fibre-optic FPV

Published

A Russian military-technical channel identifies Ukrainian-fielded concrete enclosures over electrical substations as an effective passive countermeasure against strike drones carrying warheads up to roughly 50 kg — the class threatening rear-area infrastructure. The same construction offers negligible defence against fibre-optic FPV drones, whose manual terminal guidance can thread structural openings. The commentary recommends Russia adopt the same approach for Crimea and border regions, noting that no official Russian standards for passive drone protection of critical infrastructure currently exist, creating legal uncertainty for operators seeking to act.
