Your standard rifle can now be an anti-drone weapon. Seriously.
A new development has changed the way soldiers can counter hostile drones. For a long time, options were limited to relying on larger weapons like Stinger teams or Patriot batteries. However, with the rise of cheap and expendable drones, this is no longer sufficient.
Drones have become a significant threat on battlefields, and traditional air defense systems may not be effective against them. A new approach has emerged, allowing soldiers to counter drones using their standard rifles. Further details on this development are available from the source.
This change marks a shift in the counter-drone fight, making it more personal and accessible to individual soldiers.
