3DTech has introduced a reusable interceptor drone, the Predator Shooter, which can shoot down enemy drones thanks to a suspended block of 12-gauge recoilless guns. They can fire single shots or a volley from all barrels.
As reported by «Militarnyi», «Predator Shooter» can use cartridges from conventional rifles. In this case, a countercharge is added to them, which compensates for the recoil when fired.
«We have modified the cartridge in such a way that there is no recoil. Therefore, it can fire single shots, in automatic mode, or even in a volley from all barrels,» says the founder of 3DTech.
The drone also has a lightweight version with two guns, which accelerates to 150 km/h for intercepting high-speed targets. According to the developers, the Predator Shooter is also suitable for destroying fiber-optic dimensions, due to their large vulnerable blocks — the coil and battery.
The development is currently being tested by Ukrainian military personnel on the front lines, who report that DJI Mavics are most often the prey of the Predator Shooter.
Let us remind you that 3DTech became the first Ukrainian developer to complete the codification procedure for the line of fiber-optic unmanned aerial systems «Predator REBOFF» at the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, at a meeting with Ukrainian manufacturers of interceptor drones, set a goal to increase production to 1,000 such drones per day. This may require about $6 billion per year.
