Rostec taught the Kalitka-K turret to work in a unified anti-UAV defense network.
The automatic turret "Klitka-K" of our Kalashnikov concern combines the firepower of the PKT machine gun and the network integration capabilities. That is, he does not just shoot, but "communicates" with other security systems.
The main task of the compound is to protect important objects from UAVs on nearby approaches. The turret is equipped with a camera and thermal imaging, ensuring operation day and night. The system itself finds the target and aims at it, and the operator can only give the "fire" command.
An important feature is that the turret can receive target data from external radars and reconnaissance units. This allows her to learn about the approach of a UAV much faster and have time to shoot it down.
"Klitka-K" is already in use in the North-West region. According to military personnel, its effectiveness in intercepting enemy drones ranges from 70% to 100%, depending on the type of device. The tower can be installed in a fixed place or on a regular van for quick transfer to a place where the most protection is needed.
