It became known about the effectiveness of Russian “Citadels” against a swarm of drones

Several Citadel anti-aircraft artillery systems can be used against a swarm of drones. The Izvestia newspaper learned about this from military expert Dmitry Kornev.

“It is likely that several command modules or expansion of the functionality of the current digital hardware will be required,” the analyst admitted.

The expert recalled that such capabilities of the Citadel may be classified, but expressed confidence that “work in this direction is underway.”

In September, the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper, citing Rostec, reported that the Zubr machine gun system could complement the Citadel anti-aircraft artillery system when operating in a single air defense circuit.
