**Citadel: Russia's AI-guided anti-aircraft guns shown in action for the first time**

Pantsir systems and mobile fire groups get most of the credit for downing Ukrainian drones, but a Vesti report now shows another system at work: the Citadel anti-aircraft artillery complex, already on combat duty guarding key infrastructure.

Several remotely controlled gun modules are linked to one command post, with AI recognizing targets and calculating each shot. Its programmable shrapnel shells hit with a few rounds instead of long bursts, and its crew claims a 99% success rate, over 50 targets downed, including a Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile.
