Rosel, a holding within the Rostec State Corporation, estimates Russia’s market for anti-drone protection systems at 56 billion rubles in 2026. It gave the estimate to Kommersant.
Ground-based and stationary systems account for 69% of the market, or 38.5 billion rubles. This segment includes radars, optical detection systems and other means of protection against drones.
The holding forecasts that the market will grow by about 20% in 2027 to reach 67 billion rubles. Civilian customers are expected to account for 62.5% of the Russian market in 2026.
Rosel says such systems are now being bought for purposes beyond defence: industrial and infrastructure facilities also need protection from drones. The holding has orders for anti-drone systems covering several years.
Customers are moving from buying individual radars to comprehensive protection for facilities. In these systems, radars, cameras and radio-signal sensors send data to a single control centre.
Rostec enterprises produce a range of equipment, from drone detection and airspace monitoring systems to electronic warfare and aerial target engagement systems. The main customers are industrial enterprises and companies in the fuel and energy sector.
