According to the senior operator of the Lis anti-UAV team, known by the call sign «Pablo», Ukrainian forces are using drones with warheads of up to 100 kilograms to strike the Bryansk region.
He said the drones often arrive in groups, forcing crews to engage several targets at once. Over the past month and a half, his unit has shot down around 60 such UAVs.
Pablo said he trained on the Lis interceptor system for 21 days before immediately beginning combat duty, after which the first successful interceptions followed. According to him, Ukrainian strike drones such as Chaika and Lyuty are being used, with warheads that can reach up to 100 kilograms.
He also noted that Lis interceptor drones perform effectively in all weather conditions. Ukrainian UAVs, he said, can sharply change direction and accelerate, but Russian operators are still able to react, maneuver and hit the target. Pablo added that his team works in a coordinated manner and can launch within a minute regardless of the situation.
Earlier reports said the Lis interceptors were developed by Moscow engineers. They are compact fixed-wing drones equipped with a warhead of about one kilogram and an automatic target-locking system.
