Russia’s latest Nabat v3 drone detector has completed testing and can identify targets at distances of up to two kilometers, or about 1.2 miles, according to its developer. The update was reported by the Russian Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies in remarks carried by Sputnik.
Based on the available details, the third-generation system is designed to detect both aerial and waterborne targets. That suggests the platform is aimed at a broader monitoring role than a detector focused only on drones in the air, potentially extending its use to coastal or river-area security settings as well.
The announcement centers on range and test completion, two points that indicate the Nabat line is continuing to evolve. A detection radius of up to two kilometers would make the device relevant for early warning and surveillance tasks where rapid identification of approaching unmanned threats is a priority.
While the report does not provide deeper technical specifications, deployment timelines, or performance data beyond the stated range, the test milestone signals that Russia is continuing work on counter-drone and detection technology. The Nabat v3 now appears positioned as an upgraded detector intended to improve target spotting across multiple environments.
