Shakhaneda for the first time in 48 days did not attack Ukraine: why the Russian Federation took pause in shelling

"No launches of enemy UAVs were not recorded" - such a message was received by Ukrainians on the night of October 14. For the first time in more than a month, Ukraine was not attacked by "Shahda". The focus names the causes and explains how the quality of UAV has changed and the work of the IU. Shahamed type shock drones have not attacked the territory of Ukraine for the first time in the last 48 days.

The reason for this could be several factors - a successful blow to the UAV defense forces in the Russian Federation, the need for pause to accumulate weapons. Focus tells how the shelling of the Russian Federation and the destruction of the hostile drones "Shahaned" have changed. The head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko informed Focus that the enemy had taken a temporary pause, which was related to three factors.

In particular, the Ukrainian military struck a successful blow to the Russian settlement Oktyabrsky in the Krasnodar Territory, where there was one of the storage of Shahad type UAV. According to the General Staff, there were about 400 units. In addition, the Russian Federation used a lot of drones in September. So the enemy actually managed to set a record, so it takes time to accumulate some inventories and use them again at least as it was before.

The intensity of shelling is also affected by the weather. "All these factors are three main conditions, why there were no shellings of the last day, but this does not exclude that Russia is constantly looking for ways to increase the production of" Shahmed "and plans to expand it by opening another plant in the south of Russia in the near future," - said Musienko. He stressed that the risks and threats did not disappear anywhere.

But the defense forces are working to destroy enemy UAVs not only in the air but also on the ground. As a result, this also causes such pauses in shelling. In addition, significant volumes of "Shahaned" were used in September. Military expert, Editor -in -Chief of Defense Express Oleg Katkov does not think that the lack of a Shahheda attack has been a decrease in resources in the Russian Federation. He stressed that the enemy can accumulate drones. "It is really difficult to say why.

To put it bluntly, so there was one damage to the same storage (drones, ed. ) In the Yaysk region, but there is at least Kursk, Orel, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Chaud appropriate assemblies, ”Focus Katkov explained. In recent days, the percentage of the Armed Forces of enemy UAVs has decreased, while some of them have landed systems of the HR, or drones are considered "locally lost".

According to Musienko, this is the case because Shakhaned can fly to the territory of Belarus and disappear from Ukraine's airspace. Also, sometimes drones return to Russia or fall in the field, not reaching any goals. Shakhda wind circles and then fall outside the settlements. After a while, they are found. This is also one of the reasons, "he explained. The expert noted that the work of Ukrainian IU systems, which counteract Russian UAVs, is constantly improving. More .
