🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia has developed an anti-drone launcher called "Yolka", created by Moscow engineers in cooperation with air defense teams Once the "Yolka" locates the drone, it is manually fired and then automatically guided toward the drone It is cheap, effective and has been in use at the frontline for... several monthsshow more

Impressive. Russia develops this and the American equivalent will take 5 years and 10s of millions of dollars to bring to production, and each shot would cost 100k. Probably developed by DEI hires, so likely a 75% failure rate too. Lol.

Yes, works just fine, that´s why you are losing 3 day war for 5 years

Robot wars are economic wars.

Tja...

Válgame la redundancia..

why are they speaking English in this video that is supposedly from Russia?

Russia developed a lot.

Good. Fuck drone warfare. Nobody, especially not conscripts, want to get blown up by computer nerds hiding in a basement 6 miles away.

Nothing to see here, Ursula von der Leyen assured us that Russia’s military was on its knees scavenging chips from stolen dishwashers and refrigerators. 😂

Good, the way they kill soldiers with these drones is against the Geneva convention, it is inhumane.

These won’t be useful against the suicide drones that are often used They may be effective against surveillance drones or drones mounted with explosives to drop

she is truly wonderful at her job

Laser weapons shoot down drones, it already works...

Russian innovation

The 'low-cost and effective' claim is the holy grail of modern EW/anti-drone tech. I'm curious about the guidance system—if it's automatically guided after a manual launch, how does it handle high-frequency hopping or signal jamming that’s common on the frontlines? If it's as cheap as claimed, we might be seeing a major shift in the attrition war.

I expect when the war is over Russians will top skeet shooting competitions...😉

The problem isnt a single drone, its drone swarms...

Have you seen how quickly and how easily the drones used in Ukraine can locate an enemy soldier and then blow him to bits? By the time a Russian soldier has noticed the drone and then pointed that thing up into the air, the drone has already blown him up.

Technology is evolving faster than the battlefield itself. Drones changed modern warfare now counter-drone systems like “Yolka” are reshaping it again. Cheap + effective usually means scalable. The real question is: how long before every frontline is dominated by autonomous drone vs anti-drone warfare? Modern wars are becoming tech wars.

Pretty cool, but you are a little behind.

Man wars are scary now. How much chance does a human even have with a drone chasing them. I'd imagine near 0 survival rate.

Russians will probably shoot their own drones down half of the time

@grok is it really effective or just a propaganda?

Yolka parameters: speed up to 250km/h, enough for drones with speed up 150km/h, 1.5-2km effective attitude. Pretty good I would say.

Now the drones will need anti-anti-drone-drone-drones.

We saw the results on Russian energy sector. Pretty effective 🤓

Yolka drops presents all the fun, none of the Christmas.

Will be used 1st, 2nd or 3rd (last) day o SMO?

War in 2026 is nutty. Imagine what it will be like in the next 10-20 years...

Time and time again, Russia, China, and Iran have proven to develop the current best weaponry that the US/NATO/Israel don't have.

A drone with a he warhead and a Image Recognition tracker, or the like seems simple.

We figured out how to beat this 2 days after they used the first one
