Companiile ruse caută echipamente de apărare împotriva dronelor

The demand for drone defense systems from private companies in Russia surged 6.6 times in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year, driven by increased Ukrainian drone attacks. This demand reached 441.3 million rubles, with companies seeking protective equipment like barriers, communication systems, and non-explosive interceptor drones. Experts attribute this rise to President Putin's directive for government support in developing defenses against drones. In Krasnodar, local companies are being enlisted for drone defense, with assurances of no front-line deployment and monthly compensation. Additionally, Russian firms are now able to purchase heavy weaponry for drone defense, as Ukrainian strikes target energy infrastructure and e-commerce companies.
