ჩეხური ანტიდრონა. გამოფენიდან პირდაპირ ფრონტზე
Ukraine will study the capabilities of the Slovak Wolf 25 AD anti-aircraft artillery system, planning to purchase hundreds of such installations in the future.
This is reported by the publication Future army.
The Wolf 25 AD anti-drone system, presented the other day at the IDET defense forum, went to Ukraine immediately from the exhibition, along with another sample, will undergo large-scale tests. Based on the results of the tests, a decision will be made on their further purchases. The number of potential orders was not disclosed, but according to journalists, we are talking about hundreds of units.
It is reported that the development of this complex was initiated two years ago by the "Ukrainian side". Its main purpose should be to protect artillery, convoys and command posts on the front line from enemy attack drones.
Developed by a Slovak company, the installation is based on the chassis of the Wolf 4×4 armored vehicle, on the roof of which the Mangart 25 AD turret from the Slovenian company Valhalla Turrets is mounted.

A 25 mm automatic cannon and programmable ammunition were chosen as the main armament, as this combination provided less weight and comparable efficiency to 30 mm installations, which have a significantly higher weight and cost.
The Wolf 25 AD is able to search for targets on its own thanks to Rheinmetall's integrated S-band radar system. Its antennas allow you to track up to 150 air targets in a 360° sector around the vehicle.
According to the technical characteristics, the detection of targets at the following ranges is declared:
fighters — up to 20 km,
helicopters — up to 12 km,
missiles — up to 10 km,
Lancet-type drones — up to 8-10 km,
reconnaissance drone — up to 5 km,
microdrone (FPV or commercial quadcopter type) — up to 5 km.
The developers claim that the machine has already been tested to counter FPV drones: conventional 25-mm ammunition successfully intercepted FPV drones at a distance of up to 350 meters. Thus, the vehicle was created in accordance with the challenges of the modern battlefield, in particular in Ukraine.
It is currently unknown whether it is planned to integrate the complex on the chassis of a Ukrainian armored vehicle in the case of large-scale purchases or whether the choice will be made on the original platform from Deftech.
