Sapsan-1 Tests

The service tests of the Sapsan-1 mobile system, developed by the State Authority for Military Industry (SAMI) to counter small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are now in the final phase.

The significance of this work is underscored by the increasing role of miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAVs) in targeting personnel and vehicles. As a result, countering MUAVs has become one of the primary tasks for opposing forces on the battlefield.

The Sapsan-1 system consists of various weapon systems and specialized military equipment mounted on mobile platforms. These components are technically integrated to provide effective protection against MUAVs. The system is capable of conducting radar, radio-technical, and optronic reconnaissance, as well as detecting, identifying, and tracking MUAVs. It can also electronically suppress control channels and satellite navigation systems (such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou), in addition to delivering fire damage to these aerial threats.
