Russia did the IMPOSSIBLE: Meet the Newest Complex 'CRONA' that made Drone Strikes on MOSCOW useless

[00:00:10][music] down there in the only world they [music] know [music] surrounding.

[00:00:32]>> [music] >> Well, my dear truth seekers, unfortunately for the West, everything that is happening indicates that the current war in Eastern Europe is only making Russia stronger. The Russian army is not only gaining invaluable experience in modern warfare, but is also continuing to receive advanced weapons systems with no analoges in the world. So a few days ago, Russian engineers from the legendary Kalashnikov concern handed over the latest highly automated air defense system to the Russian army which was designated Crona.

[00:01:08]This latest complex is currently being tested in real combat conditions. The latest complex Crona will become another link in Russia's defense protecting strategically important objects from enemy drones. My dear friends, in this video I will explain in detail the operation principle of this latest Russian complex and its main advantages.

[00:01:29]Furthermore, I will also explain in detail how the war against Iran helped Russian engineers make the right decisions when creating this unique complex.

[00:01:42][music] >> [music] >> The war between the USIsraeli coalition and Iran, which began on February 28th, 2026, has taught the world several important lessons. First, the world saw that even though the United States managed to identify and destroy dozens of Iranian air defense systems in the first days of the war, Iran's air defense has not lost its effectiveness and functionality.

[00:02:13]As a result, in early April, the US Air Force began losing a significant number of combat aircraft in the airspace of not only Iran, but also the Gulf States.

[00:02:23]Military experts note that it was after the United States began losing a large number of combat aircraft in the war against Iran that the Trump administration suddenly changed its belligerent rhetoric and proposed peace negotiations.

[00:02:36]All of this was a clear indication that despite thousands of missile strikes, the United States and Israel had failed to destroy Iran's air defense.

[00:02:59]The second lesson of this war is that Iran was able to inflict significant damage on the United States and Israel by using a large number of inexpensive drones and missiles. At the same time, it is worth noting that these massive Iranian attacks have almost completely depleted the expensive American and Israeli interceptor missiles for air defense systems. And finally, the third lesson of this war is that the world has realized that in modern warfare, it is not the one with the most advanced technology and the most money who wins, but the one who can massproduce inexpensive weapons systems and wear down the enemy with massive and asymmetric attacks.

[00:03:34]Take the [music] red and do now [music] take.

[00:03:49]Meanwhile, while Israel and the United States are trying to recover from the shock and develop new defense systems adapted to modern warfare, Russia has already developed such a system and even begun testing it in real combat conditions. So a few days ago, Russia began testing the latest highly automated air defense system, Crona.

[00:04:08]This latest complex consists of two vehicles. In particular, we are talking about a command center and a combat vehicle with a weapon module. This weapons complex consists of a turret with launchers, radio techchnical equipment, and optical and electronic systems. This turret can be mounted on the armored personnel carrier BTR80, the infantry fighting vehicle BMP2 and other armored vehicles.

[00:04:33]>> In addition, this turret can be used separately as a stationary block. The latest complex Crona uses two types of guided anti-aircraft missiles, 9M340 and 9M33.

[00:04:45]These missiles can hit targets up to 10 km away. It is noteworthy that Russian engineers began work on the complex Crona in early 2025.

[00:04:55]However, after the start of the war against Iran, work on this latest complex intensified significantly and was completed in the summer of 2026.

[00:05:05]As it turned out, Russian engineers closely monitored the actions of the United States and Iran during the active phase of hostilities.

[00:05:12]This greatly helped them improve the latest complex Crona, which is capable of effectively countering massive enemy drone attacks. Russian engineers noticed that even though the United States was able to destroy a significant portion of Iran's radar systems, it did not lead to the complete blinding of the country.

[00:05:29]The United States was completely vulnerable to Iran's mobile air defense systems with passive optical electronic complexes.

[00:05:37]These complexes are part of a multi-layered defense system that includes various detection and destruction capabilities.

[00:05:44]Such complexes are almost invisible to satellite and drone reconnaissance, and they can strike from the most unexpected directions while quickly changing their location.

[00:06:00]The latest Russian complex Crona also has optical means of detection and fire control. As a result, this latest complex is almost impossible to detect using reconnaissance aircraft, drones, and satellites.

[00:06:14]However, the most important aspect of this latest complex is that it is not only effective, but also doesn't demand a lot of financial expenses for its operation. As a result, Russia has received an inexpensive and highly effective complex for combating enemy drones without the need to use expensive systems such as the S400 and S500.

[00:06:33]Simply put, Russia received the opportunity to start protecting its seapports, factories, and oil bases with inexpensive complexes that can be mass-produced like cheap drones.

[00:06:47][music] It is worth noting that the latest complex Crona can also operate in automatic mode thanks to its built-in artificial intelligence.

[00:06:58]The electronic eyes of this complex see in full 360° vision. This allows the complex to respond quickly to threats from any direction. Nevertheless, I think the key benefit of this complex is its ability to be manufactured in large volumes at minimal financial expense. My dear truth seekers, let me remind you that during the 45day war with Iran, the United States used almost 900 Tomahawk cruise missiles, each of which costs $2 million.

[00:07:27]In addition, the United States has almost completely depleted its stockpile of expensive interceptor missiles for its air defense systems. The cost of one such missile is $6 million.

[00:07:38]According to military experts, it will take the United States almost 5 years and tens of billions of dollars to replenish the number of missiles it has used. Simply put, the war with Iran shocked the Americans. The Americans finally realized that modern warfare is very expensive and that the American military-industrial complex is not prepared for protracted combat operations.

[00:08:08]As for the Iranians, they not only maintained the production of inexpensive drones and missiles, but also significantly increased it. As a result, Iran is not only refusing to make concessions, but is also preparing to achieve a complete US surrender. In this context, it is worth noting that over the past 35 years, Russian engineers have created dozens of prototypes of super modern air defense systems.

[00:08:32]However, with the advent of cheap drones, it became clear that modern warfare would no longer be the same, and these air defense systems had to be abandoned. To defeat the enemy in the era of cheap drones, you need to have air defense systems that are not only effective but also inexpensive to manufacture.

[00:08:50]And the latest Russian complex Crona provides all these advantages in modern warfare.

[00:08:56][music] innocence and do [music] now [music] take the red doound.
