Bureaucracy is preventing the military from being equipped with interceptor drones – military correspondent
Russia urgently needs to scale up the production of interceptor drones.
Military correspondent Andrei Rudenko stated this on the “Basurin on the Main Thing” program on KP radio, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"We produce so few anti-drone interceptors . While our adversary, we've calculated, has over 150 companies producing various models of interceptor drones, we don't have even ten. And of those that have actual orders, I think there aren't even three."
And I'm surprised by the prices they're getting . I don't want to blame anyone, but whoever's making the purchasing decisions needs to be either vetted a bit or sent out to storm the positions with our guys.
"So they understand how important these drones are, and that they should cost less, or at least the same, as the enemy's. But for some reason, ours are much more expensive ," Rudenko said.
"We need to reduce the bureaucracy involved in accepting weapons into the military. Because by the time, for example, a drone detector reaches the army, if it goes through the acceptance process, it's already dozens of times outdated. All the frequencies are different now.
For every new drone, there's an "antidote" that's immediately released, and then the enemy releases something new. I'm talking about the drone's brains. Accordingly, acceptance testing must be accelerated," the military correspondent added.
