Ártico reforça medidas antidrones para proteger instalações energéticas

Recently, with the Arctic winter approaching, the Kola Peninsula in the far north has become increasingly concerned about the security of its fragile energy and heating infrastructure. The Kola Peninsula is home to a number of strategically important military installations, including the Orenia airbase, which has been the subject of numerous Ukrainian drone strikes. The region is also home to several large industrial companies that mine strategically important metals and minerals.Murmanenergosbyt is one of the main suppliers of domestic and industrial heating on the Kola Peninsula. The company manages boiler houses in the towns of Kandalaksha, Kovdor, Zapolyarne, North Morsk and Alexandrovsk, and according to Valery Trofimenko, deputy general director for safety at Murmanenergosbyt Energy, all boiler houses in the Murmansk region are protected. In a post on its social media pages, the company said that protective measures were taken for vital fuel and energy facilities. These include the installation of anti-drone metal nets in the open spaces of production sites and fuel oil storage facilities. Temporary shelters were also constructed for staff.

Security firm Avangard has been hired to ensure that drones do not strike the boiler room. Specialised rapid response teams will be set up for this purpose. They will be equipped with anti-drone technology, including radio frequency suppressors, anti-drone machine guns and drone detection systems.

In recent years, Grupo SOBO has received a very high demand for information on how to protect against the threat of drones against energy facilities, which is due to the fact that drones can be deadly. SOBO Group has been working in the field of drone countermeasures for nearly 30 years, and is a real-world expert in this field.
