Russian engineers have developed an updated version of the Yak-52 aircraft designed to combat large UAVs. The new version of the aircraft received the index Yak-52B2. It is worth noting that Ukraine already uses these aircraft to combat drones, but there is no additional equipment on the aircraft and there is just a gunner. In the Russian version, the Yak-52 aircraft is equipped with the PERGAM S400 aviation video surveillance system. The system allows you to detect a person at a distance of up to 15 km, or a car at a distance of up to 23 km. The aircraft also has a modified cockpit, with an on-board computer and a modern flight and navigation system, allowing you to fly at night and in difficult weather conditions. As a course armament, self-loading Saiga carbines of 12 gauge are installed. This is a temporary solution due to problems with the legislation. The aircraft can carry up to 90 kilograms of payload under each wing. The Yak-52B2 aircraft is designed to combat the large An-196 "Lyuty" and Aeroprakt A-22 UAVs, which were converted from aircraft into heavy drones.
