Footage of testing new Russian IGLA cartridges designed to intercept drones. The tests were conducted by journalist Alexey Egorov. Anti-drone cartridges are already produced in a series, IGLA 30, 50, 100 and Tracer 75. The number in the name indicates the optimal target engagement range in meters. Each cartridge is made in a casing of a certain color, calibers 12/70 and 12/76 are produced. The cartridges are intended for the Russian Ministry of Defense and special forces, they will not be available for sale, whether the troops will receive them en masse is still unknown. It is optimal to use all the cartridges at once, loading the entire series, this allows you to hit the drone first at a distance and then close, as it flies up. The first to fire is the Tracer 75 cartridge, since it is a tracer. Igla 100 cartridges contain shot made of an alloy of tungsten, nickel and iron, they penetrate an aluminum plate and are the most effective. The accuracy of shooting with IGLA 100 cartridges is 80-90% when shooting into a circle with a diameter of 2 meters, at a distance of 100 meters. The video shows shooting with an IGLA 100 cartridge, a distance of about 60 meters.

More footage of the Russian mobile air defense group, part of the Nomad special forces unit, using laser weapons, has been published. We have already shown it before. As it turned out, Russian air defense units use the Chinese Low-Altitude Laser Defending System (LASS). The laser complex was first shown in 2021, it was presumably created by Poly arms marketing. The laser complex can be mounted on the chassis of Dongfeng vehicles, and there is also a stationary version. The power of the laser used in this complex is up to 20 kilowatts. This air defense system can hit targets at a range of up to 5 km, and the drone destruction time is up to 10 seconds. This laser complex was previously seen in Iran.
