NPO Strela, part of Russia's Almaz-Antey air defence group, has shown its Avtopritsel automated turret against FPV drones in public for the first time, TASS reported from the International Forum for Collective Security in Moscow.
According to information at the stand, the turret carries two paired Vepr-12 Molot 12-gauge shotguns and can be controlled remotely or work on its own, day and night and in any weather. It detects a DJI Mavic-type drone at about 0.5 kilometres, a person at 1 kilometre and a lorry at 3 kilometres.
The stand information says the turret can engage up to 10 targets at once at 25 to 100 metres and can work for about eight hours on battery power.
