Military with Uman gathered antitrone guns just on the front: how they are used (photo)
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). Antirone guns, which were presented on the market, cost from 300,000 to 400,000 hryvnias and could not buy such equipment on their own. "I lifted information on the Internet, looked, communicated with the military who had some experiences in this direction.
They discussed it with the military from other crews, with strangers on the Internet. wounded, he was produced on his own antitrone remedy, " - told reporters Sergey Petryshyn. While correspondence with the creator of the antironous system, the military received drawings with all the necessary technical details, and already on their basis already created his own devices. "The first antironous rifle was difficult to make because it was necessary to adjust. The second had already gone.
I improved this design a little, I improved - put more powerful batteries, blocks and antenna. For the period we were there in Bakhmut direction until we were taken out , I made eight rifles, " - said the developer. The test of the first antitrone rifle was successful: at a distance of about 700 meters, the weapon struck the Mavic 3T unmanned aircraft.
It was a very good result, because it was at a distance of 500-700 meters that a person can still see the drone with his own vision without using special optics. The technique should be directed to the unmanned aircraft when it appears in the field of view of a person. The electromagnetic field that creates an antitrone system interfere with the frequencies at which the drone is controlled by the remote. The antironous rifle should interact with UAV until the battery will sit down.
It usually takes 15 to 25 minutes. The most effective such a gun when interacting with Mavic. The cost of equipment is from 45 to 50 thousand. It should be noted that Sergey Petryshyn developed and put into reality the project of another technique-an antitrone gun, which is able to disrupt drones-Kamikadze. For such a system, there are completely different requirements than for the first type of weapon. This happens because Mavic and FPV-Dron differ in their structure, tasks and working frequencies.
Currently, the new development of Petryshyn is used by the military on the front in test mode. We will remind, in early July it became known that the Ukrainian developed a new antitrone gun, which knocks down the dangerous UAV "Lancet".
According to the developers, a powerful remedy for radio electronic struggle should be used in a pair with an operator equipped with an analyzer and a directional antenna, which will monitor the ether for the characteristic "horns" of radio frequency and determine the direction of flight "Lancet". In March 2023, we also wrote that new antitrone rifles for the Armed Forces were created in Ukraine.
