Nikolai Patrushev, aide to the Russian president and chairman of the Maritime Board, was shown new Russian systems for protecting ports, naval bases and other sea infrastructure at a presentation in St Petersburg on 9 November, TsAMTO reported.
One of them was the experimental Plot-47 platform. The Maritime Board said it is meant to strengthen the protection of port facilities, naval bases and energy sites against attacks from the sea by aerial drones and uncrewed boats, and that a prototype has passed combat tests on Lake Ladoga.
The other systems shown were also designed to counter attacks by aerial drones and uncrewed boats, with a focus on ships, ports and offshore oil and gas sites.
