Russian engineer: APS/KAZ reduces FPV threat but will not restore pre-drone armour dominance

Published 9 October 2026

A Russian military engineering channel argues that active protection systems (KAZ), while credibly able to reduce FPV drone effectiveness, are not the decisive countermeasure some hope for — attack systems will adapt, adding one more variable to the tactical equation rather than resolving it. The analyst frames the FPV-versus-armour contest as a continuing arms race and is explicitly critical of expectations that KAZ will restore the pre-2023 battlefield dynamic in Russia’s favour.
