Russians try to protect their UAV-reconnaissance "camouflage and swearing"-Forbes

The occupiers are used to mask the reconnaissance drones of two types of camouflage, and also leave offensive inscriptions on the wings. The forces of Ukraine's defense are actively using new drones-interceptors to destroy the reconnaissance drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and therefore the Russians try to make their UAVs less noticeable, and also leave abusive inscriptions on them. This is stated in Forbes.

According to the publication, Russian operators can practically not protect their drones from Ukrainian UAVs. Intelligence drones have powerful cameras, but they are pointing down, causing the operator to see what is happening around. This factor opens opportunities for FPV attacks. The Russians, for their part, try to protect their drones with "camouflage and swearing".

Although most drones on the video published on the network have a standard gray color, camouflage camouflage devices are already appearing. For example, there are zala dron with spotted green-brown wings. So the Russians try to mask the drones against the background of the pattern of fields. In addition, the experts of the portal pointed to a drawing of black and white triangles, which can be seen on another drone Zala.

According to them, this drawing is reminiscent of "blinding camouflage" for warships, designed by the British artist Norma Wilkinson during the First World War. This pattern is designed to "break" the outlines of the object, complicating the assessment of the direction of its movement. According to the author of the material, Camouflage Normala Vilkinson can be more effective than green-brown.

He also noted that last year the Russians covered some warships with such a pattern, probably to protect them from Ukrainian sea drones. In addition to camouflage, the publication drew attention to the abusive words on some Russian UAVs. For example, one of the drones was noticed: "One sobet, then x ****. " On another device, the occupier wrote: "About ** AN". "By this time, Russian reconnaissance drones seem easy to prey, and everything they can answer is obscene," experts stated.

We will remind, the Ukrainian team "Wild Hornets" modified their unmanned aircraft for the destruction of reconnaissance drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The developers also showed how new devices destroy Russian drones "Orlan-10", Zala and SuperCam.
