New Russian Drone Can Suppress Radars of Enemy UAVs

Russia’s Kartsev Research Institute unveiled the Shershen at Aeronet-2035 drone show (Nov.17-27) in Moscow, featuring the ability to suppress radars of hostile UAVs.

"The Shershen quadrotor is being exhibited for the first time, this is a new prototype, and work is ongoing. It is a very interesting area, a dual-purpose machine with a payload, supersonic sound and radar suppression," Vitaly Dolgov, who heads a lab at the Kartsev Research Institute, told TASS.

He said the Shershen can be used to suppress drones and disperse riots.

The Shershen is a drone with a radius of up to 10 km. "We are currently testing a quadrotor shell capable of deflecting radars. This should be its feature. If you look at the sample on display at the exhibition, it has <…> a special paint on it that can deflect radars," he emphasized.

Shershen drones can also be used in the oil and gas sector for control of oil and natural gas pipelines and environmental monitoring. Besides, the creators of this quadrotor are planning to use it for the liquidation of the consequences of emergencies - to detect the possible source of an emergency, to assess the damage and monitor restoration efforts.
