Medvedev proposed installing new air defense systems to protect against drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

For protection from drones (UAVs) The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) should install new highly effective air defense systems. This was announced on March 26 by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, during a trip to the Central Federal District (CFD), where he inspected laser weapons systems for defeating small targets.

"We have now been shown developments that, as they say now, are based on new physical principles. I am referring to laser weapon systems designed to destroy small targets," Medvedev said in a speech posted on his page on the VKontakte social network.

According to the deputy head of the Russian Security Council, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite negotiations, are striking UAVs at targets, including civilian infrastructure buildings. Medvedev noted that highly effective air defense systems should be deployed in the near future to protect against attacks.

"This task is not only a production task, it is also related to the preparation of the necessary regulatory material," he concluded.

Earlier in the day, the Ministry of Defense reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to strike at Russia's energy infrastructure, contrary to agreements to suspend such attacks. The ministry clarified that the object of the attack was the ground equipment of the Glebovsky underground gas storage facility. In addition, a day earlier, the Ukrainian Armed Forces strike left more than 4 thousand consumers in the Kursk region without electricity. The Russian Defense Ministry stressed that by its actions the Kiev regime is doing everything to disrupt the agreements between Moscow and Washington on step-by-step steps to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.

On March 25, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov pointed out the incompetence of the Kiev regime after the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Sudzha gas measuring station in the Kursk region. He called the attack the reason why it is currently impossible to trust the Ukrainian side and make peace with it.
