The product will help to effectively cover coastal bases and ship parking areas

A complex of active protection against unmanned boats (BEC) and underwater drones has been developed for the Russian Navy. This is a special underwater barrier with charges mounted on it. When approaching marine drones, it is remotely detonated, destroying enemy watercraft. Experts note that the barrier will help cover military bases and ship parking areas in the areas of operation of enemy tanks and underwater vehicles, and it can also be used to combat saboteurs.

At the Fluffy airfield in the Sakhalin Region, as part of the Archipelago 2024 design and educational intensive, more than 30 types of modern Russian equipment for protecting objects from illegal use of UAVs, as well as the latest domestic drones for various purposes, were demonstrated, the press service of the NTI reports.
