Russia to kill drones, missiles with 10km-range super-high frequency cannon

[Bukyanagandi]

Russia's Rostech Corporation is to unveil a super-high frequency weapon capable of taking down all kinds of drones, missiles and other high precision weapons. The presentation will be made at the Army-2015 military expo.

The Mosow Radio Engineering Institute has developed a super-high frequency (SHF) ‘cannon'. It's designed to knock out aircraft, drones, guided missiles and any airborne high precision weapons using electronics.

The cannon creates an air-exclusion zone within a reported radius of over 10 kilometers around the defended object or installation, though the system's exact characteristics are classified.

"This mobile microwave irradiation complex performs off-frequency rejection of electronics aboard low-altitude aerial targets and warheads of high precision weapons," a source in Rostech Corporation told TASS, adding this system puts close range air defenses on a whole new level.

"In terms of performance capabilities, the complex has no competitors in the world," the source said. All the equipment is mounted on a tracked Buk missile air defense transportation platform.

When installed on a special platform, an SHF ‘cannon' provides all-around defense," the source said, adding the complex is also planned to be used to test domestic-made military radio-electronic systems for resistance against high-power microwave radiation.

The SHF ‘cannon' will be unveiled in the classified area of Army-2015 expo, an international military forum that will take place at the ‘Patriot' military amusement park outside Moscow between June 16 and 19.

In April this year, the US Navy released a video detailing its LOCUST technology – a new tool allowing multiple drones to coordinate and swarm the enemy. Reportedly, it's designed to protect large US vessels. However, when armed with warheads they turn into offensive weapons.

An attack of a squadron of drones on a defended installation makes the task of taking them out really troublesome and resource-consuming for existing air defense systems.

The out-of-band 360-degree radiation suppression by an SHF ‘cannon' looks like a universal solution for maintaining secure air defense against swarming drone attacks.

Mkuu umeona jibu la USA? Wanasema wao wanatengeneza silaha kubwa zaidi ya hiyo, na hawawelewi kwa nini Russia wanapoteza muda na fedha kutenegeneza silaha ya kuharibu electronics za drone wakati unaweza kuitungua drone hata kwa machine gun. Halafu wanauliza, ukishaua electronics za drone, umezua tatizo, maana itajiendesha bila control, inaweza kata ikaishia kuangukia kitu au mtu!

To fight drones, a state-owned Russian defense firm is developing an anti-drone "microwave gun," according to Russian state-owned news site Sputnik. The gun will have a range of just over six miles and fire in 360 degrees. It won't destroy drones, but it will disable the "radio electronics" of drones and precision warheads, if it works as promised. It certainly sounds clever. But it might be solving a problem that doesn't really exist.

Despite ominous names like "Predator" and "Reaper," drones as we know them aren't really a threat to countries with anything resembling an air force. Designed to fly slow and stare at the ground through a pinhole, modern combat drones are sitting ducks for fighter jets, and are pretty vulnerable to anti-air missiles. Smaller drones can be destroyed by machine gun fire.

Also, disabling a drone's radio electronics means that the drone's cameras and controls probably stop working, and a defensive weapon that turns drones into aimless projectiles seems like a bad idea.

The United States is also developing a microwave weapon, but its approach has one key difference from this Russian anti-drone gun. The "Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project" (CHAMP) missile targets the electronics inside a building, shutting down computers and radios on the ground. Perhaps a future conflict will see American-made anti-electronic drones facing off against Russian made anti-drone microwave-guns. At least in that conflict, the only thing getting nuked would be the missile.

Kuna siku hii dunia itazima kama umeme wa Tanesco ......

Nyie chekeni tu ......

Yetu macho wakuu unapoona miamba ikimenyana siye tusie na uwezo tumludie mungu tu

Kuna siku hii dunia itazima kama umeme wa Tanesco ......

Nyie chekeni tu ......

Ikiwa mtu anaingia na silaha kanisani na kuua au anajivika bomu na kujilipua mbele ya kadamnasi basi hilo uliwazalo linawezekana ikiwa atapata chance ya kumiliki silaha nzito za maangamizi.

Atatokea taahira mmoja akafanya kama ya hiroshima hata pasibaki kiumbe hai, na jaribio lao likafanywa Africa.

Vp kuhusu aircraft, Missiles nazo unaweza tungua kwa machine gun? Marekani anatapatapa tu baada ya kuona Russia anamzidi sana kwa teknolojia ya vita
