Estonia creates cheap Shahed interceptor\u00ab<\/h2>\n

As reported by The Telegraph<\/strong>, Estonian engineers have created Mark 1<\/strong> - A new generation of mini-missiles \u00abground-to-air\u00bb<\/strong>, intended for interception of drones<\/strong>, In particular, the Iranian \u00abShahedov\u00bb<\/strong>, which Russia is actively using in its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The development was initiated as a response to frequent drone incursions into NATO airspace and the need for a cheaper alternative to expensive air defence systems.<\/p>\n

\n

Mark 1 features<\/h2>\n

Rocket Mark 1<\/strong> has a length of just 65 centimetres<\/strong> and costs about $50 thousand<\/strong> - it is in 80 times cheaper<\/strong>, than a rocket Patriot<\/strong>, the price of which reaches $4 million.<\/p>\n

For comparison, the cost of drones \u00abShahed\u00bb<\/strong> is approximately $20 thousand<\/strong>, The use of super-expensive missiles to destroy them is not economically viable.<\/p>\n

\n

Rocket with artificial intelligence elements<\/h2>\n

Former official of the Estonian Ministry of Defence Kalle Salm<\/strong> explained that the Mark 1 is equipped with artificial intelligence system<\/strong>, which allows the missile independently aim at the target<\/strong> after the launch.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this technology, the Mark 1 resistant to electronic jamming<\/strong>, which is actively used by Russian troops to protect their drones and cruise missiles.<\/p>\n

\n

Mass production<\/h2>\n

The developers have already opened two plants in NATO countries<\/strong>, that are able to to produce hundreds of Mark 1 missiles daily<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to analysts, this technology can become a key element of the West's defence<\/strong> in the coming years, especially given the increase in drone attacks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
