A fundamentally new air defense system, incorporating previously unused elements, is being developed in Russia, Hero of Russia Yevgeny Poddubny, one of the top five on the United Russia federal list of candidates for the State Duma elections, war reporter and deputy director general of the VGTRK broadcaster, told TASS. The new air defense system is built on echeloned mobile teams operating at different altitudes, he noted. "We are currently designing a completely new air defense system, adding elements that were never previously considered. This is actually very important, and a rather difficult process," Poddubny said in an interview with journalist Vladimir Solovyov. He highlighted three key conditions for successful defense against enemy UAVs: the presence of radar stations, mobility, and well-coordinated interaction of units.
