ZAK-30 Citadel
Model: ZAK-30
ZAK-30 Citadel is a Russian automated 30 mm anti-aircraft artillery and anti-drone defence complex designed to protect military bases, industrial facilities, energy infrastructure, and strategic assets from UAVs, cruise missiles, helicopters, and low-flying aerial threats. According to Russian state sources and Rostec, the system combines radar and optical-electronic target acquisition, automatic target tracking, AI-assisted fire control, and programmable smart airburst ammunition capable of destroying drone swarms and maneuvering targets. Russian sources claim detection ranges up to 15 km and engagement ranges around 3 km with continuous 24/7 autonomous operation.

Sources and interpretation
The description and simulation values come from the MISSILES platform catalog. Independent specification references and a factual review date have not yet been recorded for this profile. Image credits identify the image source only; they do not verify the simulation values.
