Rosoboronexport to Showcase “Anti-Drone Dome” Soon

24 October 2026 at 17:05

Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport plans to unveil a new integrated air defense concept designed to protect critical infrastructure, military installations and civilian sites from drone attacks at the Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow on October 28–29.

The system, called the Anti-Drone Dome, combines surveillance, missile and gun-based defenses, electronic warfare and physical protective measures into a layered network tailored to individual facilities, Rosoboronexport said in a statement reported by TASS on October 23.

The company said the system is intended to protect strategic infrastructure, bridges, buildings, energy facilities and troop deployment sites, as well as civilian populations.

“Options are also available for protecting convoys and vehicles transporting VIPs or sensitive cargo,” the press service stated.

Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheyev said the growing threat posed by unmanned aerial vehicles had made infrastructure protection a national security priority.

“Protecting critical infrastructure from unmanned aerial vehicles has today become the cornerstone of national and economic security, as well as the foundation for further technological development. The proper design and implementation of such a system makes a significant contribution to demonstrating the effectiveness of government and business operations, maintaining supply chains, and signaling to investors that their investments are secure.

Rosoboronexport offers the implementation of reliable site-specific protection against UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles], tailored to each specific partner and facility. All the equipment and solutions used in this system have proven their effectiveness in real conditions,” said Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheyev, quoted by the press service.

The proposed system includes several Russian weapons designed to destroy drones, including the Pantsir-SMD-E missile system, the Pantsir-S1M missile-and-gun system, the Verba man-portable air defense system and the TKB-1167 air defense system. It also incorporates the Citadel anti-aircraft artillery system, which uses programmable-detonation ammunition.

For detecting and disrupting drones without necessarily destroying them, Rosoboronexport plans to integrate electronic warfare systems including Silok, Repellent-Patrol, Sky-Hunter 4PC and an anti-drone version of Radescan. These systems are designed to detect and interfere with unmanned aircraft control and navigation channels.

Rosoboronexport said the project was developed in cooperation with Russian counter-drone manufacturers and specialized law enforcement agencies, drawing on experience gained during military and counterterrorism operations in recent years. All components of the proposed system are developed and manufactured in Russia.

The company described the Anti-Drone Dome as a configurable defense architecture rather than a single weapon, with its equipment and capabilities selected according to the characteristics of each protected site.

In the face of increasing Ukrainian drone attacks, Russia has accelerated work on systems to counter the threat, relying on battle-proven systems and the lessons learned from the special military operation. The Anti-Drone Dome system appears to be the result of these efforts.

On October 24–25, 2026, the Russian Armed Forces continued strikes on Ukraine’s energy, transportation, port, and logistics infrastructure, including facilities the Russian Ministry of Defense identifies as supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Ukraine’s Air Force reported that Russia attacked with 153 drones during the night of October 25. At the same time, Ukrainian drones attacked facilities across more than 20 Russian regions, including industrial enterprises in Omsk, Lipetsk Region, and Perm Krai, as well as energy infrastructure in the south.

Russian Strikes on Ukraine

Kharkiv Region

  • Epicenter logistics center in Kharkiv. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the facility was used to store dual-use products intended to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The building burned down as a result of the strike; the company reported that it was the “last operating Epicenter in the city.”

Thus, on October 24–25, the Russian side concentrated its efforts in three areas: logistics, maritime shipping, and rail transport. At the same time, strikes were carried out on energy infrastructure, including the Poltava substation and Kharkiv’s power grid. The Ukrainian side, in turn, focused its strikes on petrochemical enterprises deep inside Russia, as well as on energy infrastructure in the south, leading to a brief blackout in Crimea. According to monitoring channels, Ukraine used Storm Shadow missiles and carried out large-scale drone attacks, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure in Russia.
