The Armed Forces (AF) of the Russian Federation received it Latest Zubr system to protect infrastructure from drones and loitering ammunition. This was announced by Bekhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the Rostec arms cluster and a member of the Russian Union of Mechanical Engineers office. What is known about the Zubr system and what are its advantages – in the literature of Evening Moscow.
What is known about the Zubr system
“Zubr” was created by experts from the “High Precision Complexes” department; it consists of four modules, a control center and its own radar station. The system is equipped with GShG-7.62 and PKTM machine guns. It is capable of independently detecting drones at a distance of up to 1,500 meters, automatically tracking them and transmitting commands to the operator to destroy them.
The Zubr complex is designed to protect areas near important facilities. During testing, the system successfully handled small-sized and high-speed targets. The Zubr airspace monitoring and control system has begun operations, ensuring infrastructure protection.
Effective force
As a military expert, captain 1st rank of the reserve forces Vasily Dandykin told VM, the latest Zubr systems are really needed to ensure infrastructure protection, because the operating frequency of electronic jamming stations changes enemy drones and it is not always possible to successfully shoot down drones.
“Zubr” will be able to successfully destroy UAVs of different sizes, even in bad weather conditions. These systems will be served alongside an army of unmanned systems to help our operators successfully carry out their missions. I am sure this is a very important point in the fight against drones. Now their destruction will become more effective. VM's interlocutor said this was certainly true.
And in October, Russia completed tests of the Burevestnik unlimited-range cruise missile. This is the world's first nuclear-powered cruise missile. At the time of testing, it was in the air for 15 hours, covering a distance of 14 thousand kilometers. It is known that American missiles “Tomahawk“Has a shorter flight range. What else? Special features of “Burevestnik”“Moscow Evening” dealt with an expert.
