Two Russian naval vessels have been fitted with a defensive weapon, which, during testing, caused some subjects to hallucinate and vomit because of its disorientating effect.

RIA Novosti, Russia’s domestic state news agency, reported that a Russian military contractor had begun supplying the navy with the weapon, a “visual optical interference” device, named Filin 5P-42. The weapon’s name "Filin" translates to "Eagle Owl" in English.

The technology, which was developed to dazzle and incapacitate attackers, has been deployed on the Russian naval frigates Admiral Gorshkov and Admiral Kasatonov, according to a news release from Ruselectornics, which created the Filin system.

9News reported that the weapon fires a beam, similar to a strobe light, which hinders the enemy's ability to see the ships. Weapon can also suppress night vision technology, laser targeting systems and anti-tank missiles up to a distance of more than three miles.

I am surprised the Russians are interested in non-lethal weapons.

Vodka?

During my force protection research and development years, we evaluated dozens of less lethal systems. Most were impractical. Some worked very well in closed spaces (causing one to vomit, urinate and defecate). One or two worked very well in open areas. My personal favorite was the active denial system.
