TASS: LPD-801 electronic warfare gun was first used against UAF drones
During a special military operation in Ukraine, the latest LPD-801 electronic warfare gun was used for the first time. This is reported TASS with reference to a source in power structures.
It is specified that it was used against small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The interlocutor of the agency clarified that such drones are a serious threat to Russian military personnel and military units of the Republics of Donbass. However, he stressed, such means of combat as LPD-801 are capable of quite effectively counteracting Ukrainian drones.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian military used the Stupor electromagnetic complexes to combat UAVs during a special military operation in Ukraine. The complex suppresses communication between the operator and the drone.
The electronic gun LPD-801 was presented in October 2021 at the ORELEXPO-2021 exhibition. The device can withstand drones at a distance of up to 1500 meters.
