Chris Osborne, editor of The national Interest magazine, called the method of fighting drones being tested in Russia an unprecedented innovation. We are talking about an interceptor drone that shoots a network of so-called net guns.

The device, the author notes, is intended to complement other means of protection against UAVs. Its goal is not to destroy the enemy drone, but to catch it by firing a special net placed in the cargo compartment.

- The size and surface tension of the net allow you to capture and hold an object. At the same time, the tension force is regulated by automatically changing the length of the fishing line, which is stretched along the perimeter of the frame, - Osborne quotes from the description of the device in the domestic media.

This method of dealing with drones, according to the expert, provides a good opportunity for intelligence actions-an intact UAV can be carefully studied by specialists.

In addition, the interceptor can be effective in a certain tactical situation, for example, if it is not possible to use electronic warfare.

"This approach is also useful when countering drones in cities and other localities where explosive debris can cause unintended damage," Osborne added.

He also noted that the United States did not think about this method of intercepting drones.

They focus only on technologies for electronic protection of UAVs from countermeasures. The use of the network, provided that communication and management channels are constantly improved, is a new defensive capability.

Apparently, Chris Osborne appreciated the device "Carnivore", which is currently undergoing flight tests. A small strike drone weighing 40 kilograms can take off from unprepared sites and stay in the air for up to 15 hours. The maximum flight speed reaches 150 kilometers per hour. the UAV is able to bypass electronic jamming and perform flights without satellite navigation.

As RG wrote, in addition to net guns, Carnivora is armed with high-explosive fragmentation shells and small-caliber anti-tank bombs.
