The "Argus-Antidron" anti-drone gun has been enhanced to effectively counter Ukrainian FPV drones. The upgraded version of the product has undergone rigorous testing and is currently in use within the special military operation zone. Alena Balandina, the development director at Kaisant Research and Production Association, confirmed this information to Sputnik.She also mentioned that soldiers are providing positive feedback on the upgraded Argus. According to her, "Kaisant" is producing hundreds of these anti-drone guns per month and ramping up production.The use of FPV drones in combat situations presents a significant danger to soldiers on the battlefield. These UAVs are employed for radio and optoelectronic reconnaissance, as well as to disrupt radar and missile systems during aerial assaults. Furthermore, FPV drones can be outfitted with specialized equipment for carrying ammunition and boast protected communication channels, making them resilient against electronic warfare.

State-of-The-Art Anti-UAV Weapon Neutralizes Ukraine's FPV Drones in Special Military Op Zone
13:32 12.03.2024 (Updated: 14:52 12.03.2024) Anti-unmanned-aerial-vehicle guns became an essential tool in modern warfare due to the increasing use of drones by Russia's enemies. These advanced weapons are designed to neutralize UAVs, providing greater protection for troops on the battlefield.
The "Argus-Antidron" anti-drone gun has been enhanced to effectively counter Ukrainian FPV
drones. The upgraded version of the product has undergone rigorous testing and is currently in use within the special military operation zone. Alena Balandina, the development director at Kaisant Research and Production Association, confirmed this information to
Sputnik.
"While the appearance of our guns remains largely the same, we have made significant enhancements to the Argus drone gun. We have expanded the number of detection channels from three to six, ranging from 900 to 5800 megahertz. This includes channels specifically designed to jam FPV drones, which are currently the most pressing threat on the front lines. These upgraded weapons are not only undergoing testing, but they are also being deployed to the special operations zone," she said at the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence exhibition.
She also mentioned that soldiers are providing positive feedback on the upgraded Argus. According to her, "Kaisant" is producing hundreds of these anti-drone guns per month and ramping up production.
