[ColonelCassad] Russia's Zala Z16 reconnaissance drones have received a new FPV drone evasion system, which is a serious response to the threat from Ukrainian drones

In the latest modifications, the device is equipped with cameras that constantly monitor the airspace and record the approach of enemy FPV drones. In the event of an attack, Zala automatically begins to maneuver, forcing the enemy to waste its charge until it runs out of charge or disappears from sight. This technological improvement is designed to neutralize one of the key threats that the Russian army has faced in recent months - the active knocking out of reconnaissance drones of the Russian Armed Forces by strikes with FPV munitions.

Now Russian intelligence officers have received a tool that allows them to maintain their presence in the sky and continue to carry out tasks even in conditions of increased counteraction

A useful invention. But it is quite clear that small-sized drones will also be actively developed as tactical air defense systems in the coming years.
