It became known about the consumption of ammunition by the Russian “Citadel”

The Russian anti-aircraft artillery system “Citadel” demonstrates less ammunition consumption for the destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) than its analogues. The Rostec state corporation reported this to the Izvestia newspaper.

According to the publication, in some cases the new complex turns out to be a multiple of the difference, which will significantly reduce the cost of combating UAVs. “This result is ensured by an automated fire control system and controlled detonation ammunition,” the publication says.

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.
