Russia has developed an anti-drone network capable of self-sealing holes

Russia has developed a Darwin-Z anti-drone network capable of independently tightening holes after explosions. This was announced on April 18 by Dmitry Dorofeev, CEO of Mechanical Protection Systems, in an interview with RIA Novosti.

"Her cell has the shape of the Latin letter Z. When the drone is blown up on the canvas, the structure does not burst into pieces, but "slides" — the neighboring cells shift and partially tighten the resulting hole," he said.

According to Dorofeev, this feature of the grid makes the use of the same corridor by drones much more problematic.

The Darwin-Z network is made of polypropylene and weighs 40 g per square meter. It is supplied as a single web, ready for installation using any available means.

A combination of mobile radars and air defense drones will ensure effective operation.

Rostec State Corporation announced on April 16 that its specialists had created a line of unified combat loads for various unmanned aerial vehicles. In particular, multifactorial munitions were created that simultaneously affect an object with a cumulative jet, explosion and fragments.
