Deputy Director of the Moscow Radio Engineering Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Igor Esakov said "Газете.ги " what weapons are capable of defeating the Turkish Bayraktar combat unmanned drones. According to him, a microwave cannon can effectively neutralize the electronics of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
The physicist noted that microwave weapons are capable of disrupting or completely destroying the electrical circuits of the drone. "The maximum attack range of Bayraktar is about eight kilometers, which falls within the range of long-range microwave guns. Moreover, at the moment it is the cheapest way to disable it," he said.
According to the scientist, at the moment electronic warfare systems (EW) are also dangerous for Bayraktar. However, the latest model of the Turkish UAV TAI Anka S is able to withstand the effects of combat radiation, said Esakov.
