The “smart” system can detect enemy UAVs and fire at them very accurately.
Israeli edition Fire claims that Ukrainian forces are using an Israeli anti-drone system called the Smart Shooter. It can effectively destroy Iranian kamikaze drones launched from Russia.
According to media reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already installed Smart Shooters on light aircraft and unmanned aircraft, preparing to repel the Russian Federation’s new air strikes. This is a fire control system, essentially a “smart” sight that detects targets using radar and then very accurately determines the type of drone and its location to destroy it with small arms. With the help of artificial intelligence, Smart Shooter works on the “one shot – one shot” principle.
The Israeli army (IDF) first used the Smart Shooter in September 2022 in Hebron to disperse Palestinian protests. So the system used sponge balls instead of bullets, but was positioned as a means of fighting drones. The height of the standard system is 95 cm and the weight is about 75 kg, but there is a lighter version that is mounted on cannons and machine guns.
September edition The times of Israel found that one of the Israeli defense companies provided Ukraine with systems to combat drones through Polish mediation. Israel does not want to transfer military technology directly to the Ukrainian military, so the company has sold equipment to Warsaw. The company told the Israeli Defense Ministry it was unaware of Poland’s plans to transfer arms to Ukraine, but the Israeli government appears to have decided not to interfere in the deal.
Previously, there was information that Israel has provided Ukraine with information to combat kamikaze drones. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz rejected Kiev’s request to relocate the air defense systems, but promised to provide early detection systems for airborne threats.
They wrote that too Israel destroys Iranian drone assembly plant in Syria. According to sources, the Israeli army fired rockets at targets near the Dimas airport in Damascus.
