Cardboard drones against Russian aircraft: how Ukraine uses hundreds of UAVS (video)
According to the media, drones made of cardboard parts, fastened with erasers and adhesive tape, have already been destroyed or damaged by at least five Russian aircraft during the war in Ukraine. Corvo PPDS UAVs, originally intelligence and supply, jointly efforts from the Australian engineers and the Ukrainian military have become a high-efficiency weapon Kamikadze and is able to carry about three kilograms of explosives over 120 kilometers.
"We call her" brick opportunities, "Michael Partidge assured from the Australian engineering firm Sypaq Australia. According to Forces News, in late summer, Ukrainians have struck a series of UAVs in Russian airfield fighters, missile launchers and air defense system. Another attack was carried out at the airfield in the PSKO, where four cargo planes IL-76 were destroyed and damaged. It is expected that in both cases for plaque for hundreds of kilometers from the Russian border was used.
CARTRONNY DRONS CORVO. PRECISION PAYload Delivery System (PPDS) - "accurate amount of deliveries And light in the assembly as a children's designer, and the size is practically equal to the shoe box. The PPDS is equipped with a laptop or tablet programmed for avionics, which allows to plan missions. He also has a special starting unit. The useful advantage of Corvo PPDS is its low cost. It is about $ 5,000, or just over $ 3,000.
"When we consider military -level systems with a fixed wing, it is a price of $ 20,000 to $ 30,000. We will approximately equal to 5,000 Australian dollars (£ 2608). So it really makes it possible to use cardboard drones more actively and more efficiently and more efficiently ", - said Michael Partidge. Focus wrote about the main features of the cardboard drone - its modularity and one -time. And most importantly, it is made of material that makes it almost imperceptible to radar stations.
