In the Russian Federation boasted "trophy" UAV, which turned out to be Russian: which drone was beaten (photo)

According to the analyst, the invaders "captured" drone targets to identify Ukrainian air defense systems, which is probably produced near the Kremlin. In the Russian Federation, a number of news agencies showed personnel of the unmanned aircraft, allegedly captured by the forces of Defense of Ukraine. However, a number of characteristic features indicate that the drone is not Ukrainian but Russian. The Canadian OSINT analyst Danielr wrote on the social network X.

The Russians showed a drone, the body of which was made of plywood using quite good compounds. The fuel tank is placed under it in an open frame. The expert noted that in December last year he made a publication of Russian UAVs, which were similar in design plywood fuselages. In addition, one of them fuel tank was also located from the bottom in the open frame.

The analyst also indicated that the "trophy" UAV and previously demonstrated Russian drone have a V-shaped tail of translucent corrugated plastic. It is attached to a square aluminum pipe, which is inserted into the main fuselage and fixed by a lamb nut. In addition, both drones use the same type of connector for servos. The author of the publication drew attention to the fact that the wings of allegedly captured drone have a translucent coating of amber, wrapped in aluminum foil.

The foil here performs the function of reflection of radars. This drone does not have a chassis - it runs from the rails with the help of four ears, which are inserted into the slots on the starting rail. On the same principle, the said Russian drone is built. On the Russian footage, can also see the ignition system, a radio -controlled receiver (ELRS), a flight controller, a GPS, a Pito tube, a power distribution (UBEC), a battery and a 3. 6 HP Chinese engine.

According to the analyst, the controller is a V5+ CUAV model, compatible with firmware PX4 and ARDUPILOT. It is also used by larger drones. With regard to radio equipment for telemetry, the expert drew attention to double antennas. According to him, it is a model of telemetric radio RFD900A. After analyzing the personnel, the expert came to the conclusion that the Russians demonstrated a drone designed to identify Ukrainian air defense systems.

The drone manufacturer is the "Center for Autonomous Robotic Systems". UAVs are developed and perhaps produced in the Rudnevo industrial park, which is located 20 km from the Kremlin. "They fly around until they are raised, and telemetry reports to the Russians the location," the analyst explained. Earlier, on May 1, the operator of unmanned systems and the author of the blog "External Pilot" posted a photo of a whipped Russian drone, which is very reminiscent of the above mentioned UAV.
