"Flying Mine Field": As Ukrainian Uaks Removiers change war-Forbes (video)
It was a system that could receive information about the target from detection systems, detect, capture, cite and strike the target. The potential goals of such devices are Russian reconnaissance UAVs "Orlan-10", "Zala" and "SuperCam". You can knock down such drones with rockets, but they are scarce and expensive. "We need to find a solution that allows you to knock down such drones without wasting air defense resources," Brave1 noted.
In June, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine showed the PALA interception personnel with the FPV-aroma. For their part, the fighters of the Magyara Birds of the Unit also published a video of intercepting drones "Orlan-10" using FPV. According to the author of the publication, further videos confirm that these are not individual incidents, but part of the trend potentially disturbing for the Russian Federation.
Without intelligence in the sky, Russian artillery and lanceolo operators cannot strike goals. In addition, there are already videos on the network where Ukrainian FPV is knocking down "lancets", which according to experts testifies to the work of the system. The publication emphasized that there are not many reconnaissance drones in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with a fixed wing and it is not easy to replace them.
Therefore, only the threat of destruction by simple FPV-Drons can force the occupiers to keep them away from the front line. Osint analyst Andrew Perpetua on the social network X also noted that the use of UAVs to neutralize Russian intelligence drones can fundamentally change the war in such a way that Russia will no longer be able to recover. Yes, Ukrainian FPV operators have already tried to pursue Russian helicopters.
"From airless drones, there is only one step to a" flying minefield ", in which a large number of drones form a mobile, deadly obstacle to enemy aircraft," the author said. According to experts, theoretically connect the FPV to the networks of radars of air defense (air defense) and add software to capture the air target is quite simple. However, years of years and huge money are usually the implementation of such projects. "Drone interception is striking.
But the speed of development should attract attention," the publication emphasized. We will remind, the Russians also introduced the UAV-interceptor "Vogan-9p". According to the developers, it accelerates up to 200 km/h and after the operator's command is automatically completed on the target. On the Defenstech hackathon in the UK, one of the teams also introduced PACEPTOR unmanned aerial vehicles to intercept Russian Orlan-10 reconnaissance drones.
