The US military deployed the M1097 Avenger anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), AN / MPQ-64 Sentinel radar and the new M-LIDS (Mobile Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Integrated Defense System) system at the airport.
The M-LIDS complex is designed to protect ground units from attacks by small drones. The M-LIDS combat vehicle received a module with an XM914 30 mm automatic cannon, a machine gun and Coyote Block 2 missiles. M-LIDS is based on the chassis of the Oshkosh M-ATV armored car.

In January, scientists at the Military University of the Russian Ministry of Defense proposed destroying clusters of drones with shrapnel.
