Purpose: The Russian Federation resorted to terrorist acts, namely strikes with cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc. on critical infrastructure due to significant losses in weapons and military equipment, personnel. Thus, the Russian army is trying to influence the military-political leadership of Ukraine and the population to recognize the annexed territories as Russian by destroying the economy of Ukraine. Therefore, in order to protect critical infrastructure, there is an urgent need to find economically feasible ways to combat unmanned aerial vehicles and develop recommendations for detecting and defeating them with the least expenditure of resources. Design/Method/Approach (only for empirical papers): To achieve the goal of the study, the analysis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles by Russian troops, which were purchased in Iran Shahed-136 (Geran-2), was carried out. The means used for their destruction were also analyzed. Findings: Unmanned aerial vehicles of Shahed-136 (Geran-2) type are usually used in groups. The frequency of their use indicates that they are controlled by the GLONASS navigation system, i.e. at the time when Russian satellites are over the territory of Ukraine. Among this group, one unmanned aerial vehicle is the master, which is controlled through the GLONASS system, and the rest are slaves and receive a signal from it. Theoretical implications (fipple cable): It consists in the fact that for the first time the use of unmanned aerial vehicles of Shahed-136 (Geran-2) type by the Russian army was analyzed and the ways of their defeat were considered. Practical implications (fipple cable): The generalized and systematized data on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles of the Shahed-136 (Geran-2) type by the Russian army and the analysis of the ways of their defeat by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, make it possible to analyze this information and determine the most economically feasible ways to defeat them. Also, the availability of generalized data provides an opportunity to develop practical recommendations for the development of complexes for the destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles of the Shahed-136 (Geranium-2) type, which would defeat both single and launched in groups. Originality/Value: The value of the research lies in the proposed method of using the proposed complex of detection and defeat of the target, which works in both automatic and controlled modes. So that this complex can detect, track and defeat both single unmanned aerial vehicles and those launched by a group. Research limitations/Future research: The limitation of the study is the use of sources that are in the public domain. Further research requires the development of a model of the target detection and defeat complex, evaluation of its effectiveness and feasibility study.
