Russian businesses are building their own protection against Ukrainian drones - the Kremlin is unable to help
Kyiv • UNN
The Kremlin is shifting responsibility for protecting facilities onto businesses, which are creating mobile groups costing 50–70 million rubles. The lack of standards is causing obstacles.
The Russian leadership's inability to ensure centralized protection of industrial and infrastructure facilities from Ukrainian drones is forcing the Kremlin to shift responsibility for their security onto the enterprises themselves. This is reported by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, UNN reports.

Large enterprises are forming mobile response groups equipped with drone detection and suppression systems. At the same time, creating one such group costs 50–70 million Russian rubles, equivalent to 600–850 thousand US dollars.
Fuel and energy and industrial enterprises, warehouse and logistics operators, marketplaces, and shipping companies are arming themselves most actively. However, the increase in purchases does not mean that businesses are moving to comprehensive protection: most limit themselves to individual detection or jamming systems, while a multi-level system requires significant investment in personnel, equipment, and infrastructure
However, such measures lack unified data-exchange standards, as well as technical compatibility between detection and jamming systems.
Each enterprise is saving itself as best it can, and this improvisation is turning against the Russians themselves: through false alarms, mutual radio interference between neighboring facilities, and the purchase of expensive equipment that does not correspond to the actual parameters of the threats
