Meanwhile, Russian developers are working on counter-drone tools \u2014 in particular, kinetic weapons for shooting down UAVs and systems for detecting drones by sound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read about these and other enemy military tech novelties in Black Mirror #27. This compilation by Defender Media is prepared to inform the Ukrainian military and developers about the challenges they should be prepared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cIzdelie 545\u201d can supposedly destroy drones within a radius of 100\u2013150 metres<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian specialists conducted tests of the kinetic weapon \u201cIzdelie 545\u201d for destroying unmanned aerial vehicles as part of the \u201cNew Russian Technologies\u201d project, the developer company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe weapon allows drones to be eliminated using any standard firearm a soldier is equipped with. The device\u2019s body is fired toward the target and strikes the drone,\u201d TASS quotes the developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the device is in the stage of scientific development. \u201cWhen used, the communication elements of the UAV are damaged, and the drone falls,\u201d clarified a representative of the developer company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Acoustic drone detection system<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Khabarovsk engineer has been allocated 10 million rubles to develop a system capable of detecting drones by sound. The device, which is mounted on a helmet, &#8220;hears&#8221; an approaching drone, isolates the characteristic propeller tone from the overall sound spectrum, and indicates the direction of approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is stated that the device will have high localisation and will be almost entirely domestically produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is being developed in collaboration with the company Tordoki and the Khabarovsk Region Engineering Centre. The project will receive 10 million rubles in support under the TechnoVostok 2030 program, which was created with the support of Vnesheconombank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Conversion of the AO-2.5RT aviation submunition<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian military forces have <a href=\"https:\/\/militarnyi.com\/en\/news\/russians-disassemble-cluster-bombs-for-fpv-ammunition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">begun<\/a> converting AO-2.5RT aviation submunitions for use with strike drones.

The vehicle weighs 6.5 tons and has a payload capacity of 2.5 tons. Its maximum speed is 100 kilometres per hour, with a range of 750 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pickup is equipped with a YaMZ-234 engine producing 200 horsepower.

Several tens of thousands of sets have already been manufactured. The most in-demand propellers on the front are 9- and 10-inch versions for strike drones. The 10-inch version is produced in two modifications: standard \u2014 for long-range flights, and reinforced \u2014 for active manoeuvring with a payload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Representatives state that product quality is ensured through strict control. Every hundredth casting is tested on a vibration stand, and engineers promptly readjust the equipment for domestic materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of Russian propellers is lower than that of their Chinese counterparts, while their quality is not inferior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Shaheds begin striking moving targets<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new model of Russian Shaheds equipped with a night camera has been <a href=\"https:\/\/militarnyi.com\/en\/news\/russian-shahed-drones-begin-striking-moving-targets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">used<\/a> to locate and strike a Ukrainian railway echelon while it was in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first use of Russian Shaheds with an optical system and radio control was recorded in June, when Ukrainian forces shot one down in the Sumy direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after, the analytical unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence released a <a href=\"https:\/\/militarnyi.com\/en\/news\/russia-receives-upgraded-shahed-136-drone-with-thermal-guidance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">report<\/a> confirming the drone\u2019s Iranian origin based on its distinctive construction, fuselage materials, and the type and layout of its electronics. This is a significant point, given that the base model of the long-range drone is now almost fully localised and independently produced in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/yyqunelu4emp3ugc07sw-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"\u0428\u0430\u0445\u0435\u0434 \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u0456\u043a\u0430\u043f\u0456\" class=\"wp-image-12829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/yyqunelu4emp3ugc07sw-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/yyqunelu4emp3ugc07sw-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/yyqunelu4emp3ugc07sw-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/yyqunelu4emp3ugc07sw-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/yyqunelu4emp3ugc07sw-2048x1365.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Launch of the Shahed UAV \/ Source: Internet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the wreckage, a high-performance Nvidia Jetson Orin mini-computer was found, which is used for video processing and could perform autonomous target-search tasks by comparing what it \u201csees\u201d with preloaded models in memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in the released footage of the strikes, the drones maintained direct communication with Russian operators, indicating a built radio link via relays or a nearby ground relay station close to the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Air launch system for UAVs<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company KINGPRO presented an air launch system for UAVs Sekira Prizrak \u2014 a fixed-wing drone is lifted into the air by a copter, which allows saving up to 20% of the battery energy consumed during takeoff.
