Drone Hunters! Russian Army Develops New Method For Helicopter Pilots To Combat Kamikaze Drones

Malikov explained that detecting small UAVs is difficult due to their size. However, if a drone is visually identified, immediate evasive maneuvers are necessary.

Malikov said that while drones lack the speed to chase down helicopters, they can still mount frontal attacks that cause damage. Hence, equipping helicopters with electronic warfare systems is vital.

These systems are compact and energy-efficient. They can disrupt or confuse approaching drones, enhancing the helicopter’s defense capabilities.

Malikov added that small UAVs often evade radar detection, making visual identification critical. Upon sighting a drone, pilots must swiftly maneuver to avoid collisions, especially since a UAV striking the propeller could force an emergency landing.
