Shakhi’s reactive “chess” is not so novelty.
They appeared in 2023, and even then went talk about how dangerous it could be. The only thing this UAV is different from drones with a piston engine is speed. It is much larger.
Therefore, drones-interceptors do not work against them. Such reactive drones can be hampered by almost any air defense complex that is in service with the Armed Forces. But the problem is that the cost of a rocket that will be knocked down by such “Shahamed” will be much more than the cost of the drone. That is, it is economically ineffective and therefore not used missiles against such complexes – except when this jet Shahamed flies to a very important object. Then all that is.
Drones-interceptors do not work here. Mobile machine gun calculations – the same. Therefore, modern artillery systems such as “Cheetah” or “Skyinex” or similar systems, which are also in service, but few, can fight this.
The best option is Frankenstein technology, that is, a combination of available new missiles with old Soviet complexes and radar stations. That is, the creation of something like the Russian complex “shell” … It is such a universal system that objectively against any “shahas”, including jet, will help. Experts, such as Yuri Kasyanov, have long been about creating such a complex. But they are not heard.
