Experts dispelled myths about Russian supervine "Against US Drones"

In practice, the rifle "beats" a maximum of 1. 5 km and is only suitable for the defeat of small UAVs of the type of quadcopter. The Russian company "Laboratory of PPS" boasted the creation of a new antitrone gun "LPD-802", designed to fight with drones of American production. Experts told Polygraph. info that the characteristics of the weapon are significantly high.

According to representatives of the Laboratories of the PPS in a comment to the Russian newspaper, the new rifle is tested in Russia, but is already capable of "deaf" drones. Unlike the previous model "LPD-801", the novelty received the Bullpup (bull) design and became more compact-the battery was moved to the back of the device and increased to 1. 5 hours. In addition, it "has an increased power and an additional frequency range" to confront the American drones.

"LPD-802 is capable of neutralizing any drone regardless of brand and firmware. The lesion reaches more than 2 km. The variable battery provides work for 2 hours or more,"-the popular blog "Army Weaponry Russia" wrote in the Russian social network "VKontakte". Polygraph analysts suggest that the LPD-802 statement has been a response to the destruction of dozens of Iranian drones in Ukraine, which Russia uses massively for the task of strikes.

According to the analyst of the Russian Study Program at the US Naval Analysis, Samuel Bendett, in fact, the rifle "beats" by a maximum of 1. 5 km and is only suitable for the defeat of small UAVs such as quadcopters. Rob Lee, a senior researcher at the Institute for Foreign Policy Research, monitors weapons that both parties use in Ukraine. He believes that only "supervisers" will not be able to withstand all unmanned aerial vehicles, which are in service with the Armed Forces and the US.

"These Russian guns have a fairly low range of action and are unlikely to be effective against American UAVs, such as Reaper," he stressed. Recently, it became known how the Drone of the Armed Forces attacked Russian soldiers armed with Stupor antitrone guns. One of the soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation tried to use the "silencer", but without success. Earlier, Dedrone introduced a new antitrone gun called Dedronedefender.
