Published 11 July 2026

Russian milblogger reports that Northern Fleet soldiers are now receiving structured, permanent training on the ‘Elka’ AI-guided drone interceptor. The system uses an X-shaped wing layout with electric motors and an aerodynamic rudder, giving it the agility to run down both multirotor and fixed-wing UAVs. Training covers integrated unit deployment and standalone operation from air-observation posts.
