Rosel, a holding company within the Russian state corporation Rostec, estimates that Russia's market for systems that protect against drones will reach 56 billion roubles in 2026, Kommersant reports. It says 69% of that, 38.5 billion roubles, is for ground-based and fixed systems such as radars and optical detection.
According to Rosel, civilian customers make up 62.5% of the market this year, and the whole market will grow by about 20% in 2027, to 67 billion roubles. The company says it has orders for anti-drone systems for several years ahead and that customers are moving from buying single radars to protecting whole sites, with radars, cameras and radio sensors feeding one control centre.
Kommersant links civilian demand to more frequent drone attacks on civilian infrastructure and to a presidential decree that allows temporary outside management of a site whose owner does not protect it well enough.
