Kalashnikov vs UAV: Watch a New Anti-Drone Rifle in Action

Take a look at Kalashnikov’s novel anti-drone rifle on display at Russia’s ARMY-2017 expo. It doesn’t fire bullets; instead, the rifle neutralizes the control channel of the drone.

This electronic non-lethal rifle, developed by Russia's largest weapons' manufacturer, was equipped with a collimator sight, interchangeable GPS suppression units and a tactical handle. It can be used against improvised explosive devices and is capable of jamming mobile connections and Wi-Fi.

The third ARMY International Military-Technical Forum kicked off Tuesday across three venues, including the Alabino Military Training Grounds, Kubinka Airfield and the Patriot Exhibition Center outside Moscow. Delegations from over 100 countries are taking part in the weeklong defense extravaganza, which features over 18,000 products, from rifle ammo and equipment to next-gen tanks and armored cars.
