Russia’s TASS news agency reports Russian forces have downed “50 Ukrainian Lyuty attack drones using the latest Yolka portable interceptor system in the Bryansk Region.” The reports are unconfirmed.
“A serviceman, call sign “Alauri,” shared with TASS the attack repulsion details. “Our battalion is engaged in counter-UAV operations, neutralizing UAVs with firearms and new unmanned aerial systems – the Yolka portable interception system. During a recent massive air raid by the enemy’s Lyuty UAVs that were apparently flying toward Bryansk, we were launching drone after drone, and I also took the Yolka, pulled the trigger, and the Yolka shot down the enemy drone at a distance of 3-4 kilometers.”
According to TASS, the Yolka system, manufactured in Moscow, is designed to engage a wide range of targets, from FPV and reconnaissance drones to heavy attack UAVs. It weighs 1.3 kg and has a flight speed of up to 230 km/h. The drone’s acquisition and engagement range is up to 3 km.
