The project itself was first presented in the closed part of the exhibition "Army-2015", and since then no confirmation of its practical application has been received. Defense Express observers noted that the furor system is mounted on the Buk Buk SC chassis and, according to the developers, contains a relativistic microwave generator, a mirror antenna, a transmitting system and a control unit.
Its purpose is the disruption of enemy drones and managed ammunition using a powerful directional electromagnetic pulse. Particular attention was paid to the stated range of the lesion - more than 10 km in the circular sector. This significantly exceeds the values of the current Western counterparts. For example, Epirus's American Leonidas system now demonstrates an effective lesion of up to 2 km, and in the future - up to 4 km. Such a difference question the realism of Russian characteristics.
Experts suggest that the furor project may be another example of "miracle weapons", developed rather than budgeting than for real use. Such a story has already been repeated with other "innovations"-such as UAV C-70 "Hunter", laser complex "Peresvit" and unmanned versions of BMP-3, the effectiveness of which has not been proven. "One way or another, although the technology has its potential, it is doubtful that Russians will be able to implement such a system.
