Training occurs in a field specially equipped with shooting booths that allow shots at various distances.
Targets simulating drones are used to reproduce real combat scenarios, and a firing readiness system is in operation to ensure that the military can effectively develop the skills needed to detect and eliminate unmanned air vehicles (Vants).
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the goal is to increase the response of land forces in the face of the growing threat represented by drones in modern battlefields.
Drones in the war in Ukraine
Drone use has transformed the war scenario in Ukraine, being responsible for a growing number of casualties on both sides of the conflict. These unmanned air vehicles, used for recognition, precision attacks and sabotage, have been extremely effective in reaching low cost targets and operational risk.
From small commercial drones adapted with sophisticated long -range military models, the war has become a constant air battlefield, where the threat comes from the sky – often invisible until the moment of impact.
