“Rostex” is Developing a Mobile Version of the “Citadel” Anti-Aircraft Artillery System

Specialists of Russia’s “Rostec” State Corporation are developing a mobile version of the “Citadel” anti-aircraft artillery system (AAGS).

“Poliqonjurnal” reports this citing the “Rostec” State Corporation.

It was reported that the combat module, as well as radar and optical detection systems, have already been installed on a vehicle chassis. This will allow the AAGS to be rapidly deployed to various facilities requiring air defence. The system will also expand the capabilities of mobile fire teams to destroy targets.

According to “Rostec”, the stationary version of the “Citadel” system has currently confirmed its tactical and technical characteristics in combat conditions. The system enables the effective destruction of various types of unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as cruise missiles.

At the same time, thanks to guided smart projectiles and a new fire-control system, the “Citadel” consumes significantly less ammunition compared with standard AAGSs.
