The Ministry of Defence authorizes operational use of the ‘Anti-Drone Pistol’

The Ministry of Defence has codified and authorized the operational use of an individual anti-drone device, the ‘Anti-Drone Pistol,’ manufactured in Ukraine, for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the MoD’s Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment. 

The ‘Anti-Drone Pistol’ is an electronic warfare device designed for individual use. This device generates electromagnetic interference to jam the control and video signal channels of enemy drones. 

The Ukrainian ‘Anti-Drone Pistol’ is compact in size, weighs just over 1 kg, and features a monolithic form factor.
