As there is a great lack of anti-drone equipment on the front lines of the battlefield, and it is very difficult to hit a drone with a conventional gun. Recently the Russian army has begun to creatively employ shotguns for defence against drones.
Shotguns offer a variety of advantages in countering drones, mainly due to their ease of use, versatility, and ability to cover large areas with a single shot. The shotgun’s pattern of dispersing pellets increases the chances of hitting small, fast-moving targets such as drones. This is particularly effective against low-flying or hovering drones, where the shotgun’s ability to project power over a large area is more important than the precise aiming ratio of conventional firearms.
While shotguns offer a practical solution to countering the immediate threat of drones, their effectiveness is inherently limited by range and the need for visual targeting. This approach is less suitable for dealing with high-flying or stealthy drones with advanced reconnaissance or attack capabilities. In addition, the use of shotguns requires safety and collateral damage considerations, especially in populated areas or near sensitive installations.
The use of shotguns for defence against drones is a timely, pragmatic and unavoidable way of fighting. Kikundi cha SOBO has rich experience in the field of anti-drone and also has different products to deal with different applications, if you have the need in this area, please Wasiliana nasi.
