The list of tasks that can be performed by the Russian Tunguska-M1 anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems also mentions the air defense of various stationary facilities. At least, slow-moving, low-maneuverable enemy drones, which are quite large, are not difficult targets for anti-aircraft missiles.
Moreover, it was reported that such combat vehicles received the latest sights with thermal imaging channels and the ability to automatically track targets. This makes it possible to better detect the enemy at night and in bad weather conditions.
