This work considers the possibilities of protecting weapons and military equipment from barrage ammunition. The main approaches to the modern classification of barrage munitions are revealed, it is noted that in the zone of hostilities of the aggressor country Russia against Ukraine, unmanned aerial vehicles and barrage munitions of various types and modifications are constantly used to destroy weapons and military equipment. It was noted that with the development of modern technologies, it became possible to manufacture unmanned aerial vehicles with smaller dimensions, but with better capabilities for conducting constant reconnaissance, delivering massive surprise strikes using barrage ammunition, which made it much more difficult to fight them with air defense means and forces. In this work, it is noted that scientific and technical progress has not bypassed unmanned aerial vehicles, new information transmission and processing technologies, the appearance of a new element base, their production has become cheaper, and their capabilities in combat use and technical equipment have improved significantly. Modernization and improvement of unmanned impact devices led to an increase in the flight range, that is, an increase in the useful effect of the engine, as well as a decrease in its noise, an increase in the energy consumption of power cells; improvement of navigation and management systems; improvement of the airframe to reduce weight, dimensions, effective scattering area. Means of fire impression were also modernized, guided missiles began to be placed on them, as well as means of radio-electronic warfare, improved technical means of intelligence, improved photo and video surveillance systems were installed. All this led to the improvement of methods of combat use of unmanned aerial vehicles and the growth of their role in modern armed conflicts. An analysis of the capabilities of air defense means to protect weapons and military equipment from unmanned attack vehicles and barrage munitions was carried out, and directions were developed to increase the efficiency of their destruction by various means of fire damage.
