Russian news portal TAdviser reports that the Russian military has developed an uncrewed aerial systems interceptor known as the ‘Osoed’, which is designed specifically to target and neutralise other drones. The article notes that detailed information on this interceptor is limited, but that it is built on a 9-inch FPV drone platform and is equipped with a special mechanism that shoots a net covering enemy equipment from a distance of several metres.
“The device can reach speeds of up to 140 km/h, and the charge of the battery pack is enough for 24 minutes of flight. The operating range is 4-5 km, the maximum altitude is 5-6 km,” TAdviser says.
Osoed can be equipped with additional equipment, such as thermal imager, making night interceptions possible. In addition, TAdviser reports that a new version will be equipped with a ram that allows a UAV to be destroyed without damaging the Osoed itself.
Earlier this month, Russian media reported that Pervyy Dirizhabl (First Dirigible) had developed a drone protection system comprising a net that is attached to aerostats.
