Unable to predict: The expert explained why it is difficult to knock down the drones of the Russians (video)
It is possible to fight them, although it will take a lot of efforts before, said the designer Albert Virinin during a briefing in Odessa on Wednesday, October 25. He particularly paid attention to "smart" drones, including FPV-avers, which the occupiers use against the civilian population and the Ukrainian defense forces.
Such means are managed by the operator who sees the image from the camera from the first person as if he is inside the device, so the behavior of the equipment after loss of communication with him is unpredictable. To control such high -tech devices, special radio channels between the operator and the drone are developed. However, it is difficult to break this relationship due to the large number of frequencies at which it can work.
It is also worth noting that it is difficult to see FPV-aroses in advance, since FPV-therots are moving very quickly, and detecting them at a distance of 250-300 meters often happens too late-seconds before the explosion. "After losing communication with the FPV Don behavior, it may vary depending on the settings. They can try to land gently, make a turn and return to the starting position, go up to get out of the radio area, or even fall to the ground," - explained Albert V. .
The design engineer himself devotes all his free time to the creation of antitrone units for the Ukrainian military. He tries to invest in the cost of a product, which is up to $ 2,000. It uses handy materials to create devices, including conventional electric plants, plaster gratings and sewage pipes. The most expensive part is a powerful obstacle generator. Virnin also receives help from his family and friends in the purchase of details.
He presented some of his inventions to the military and sometimes asks for help through social networks when there is not enough money for new projects. "The tests are conducted in conjunction with the military who report the place and time of testing. We are currently working to develop effective antitrone devices that will protect Ukrainians from the hazards that FPV and other similar devices pose," Varnin said.
It should be noted that in October, we already wrote about how a military man from Uman gathered antitrone guns right at the front. Its antitrone system allows the Armed Forces fighters to "stuff" commercial drones, such as Mavic 3T, at a distance of about 700 meters.
According to the military, the opinion that it was necessary to do something to protect against drones, he had immediately after the first release to the position (a man in the Uman Troy performed combat missions in the Bakhmut direction). In addition, in October it became known that in Ukraine a unique system of combating Reb and UAV was developed. The system is a series of diaper that can determine the location of the radio signals.
