We have multi-layered low signature and passive drone detection system, including radar, radio frequency (RF)-based systems, electro-optical sensors, IR, and video tracking. We also have Thermal imaging for all weather use. And all are integrated into a single command and control system. These upgraded Old school system proved to be worthy to shot down more than 500 turkish drones sent by Pak.
None of them caused any casualities or any damage to infrastructure. As we have multi layered defense system with
L70 and Zu23 for very short range Defense agains drones and UAV, Spyder for Short Range, Akash for Medium range, s400 for Long range and high value target, exact kill rate of Guns are unknown. In press briefing, officials said that these were so effective against drones.
The strength of a reflected radar signal generally decreases with the fourth power of distance: r-squared to the reflector, and r-squared back from the reflector (assuming more-or-less uniform backscattering). Which means that a low radar signature is usually still detectable, the object just needs to get moderately closer.
So being stealthy in the radar spectrum is pretty difficult, and I often wonder if stealth planes are mostly a means to transfer money from the state to defense companies.
