"Vanya on the hood" or UAV remed
On this occasion, the Defense 24 and irony observers noted that the soldier not only had to stay behind the tower, so as not to fall from the tank, but also to shoot on the course of the Ukrainian drones. In the staff, the Russian soldier tells details of how he fulfills his task to protect the tank. He did not explain how he did it, boasting only by the fact that he managed to neutralize two drones during the last two missions.
"It is difficult to check this news because no Russian source has confirmed the use of this method of protection against Ukrainian drones," Poles write. Meanwhile, if the decision to put an additional defender riding on a tank, so that he shoots drones, really takes place, then it testifies only to real despair. The fact is that the soldier who is outside the tank is exposed to many dangers: from shelling to weather conditions and physical fatigue.
Given the high speed of the tank and maneuvers of the tower, the task of the shooter to strike drones is almost impossible. Successful execution of such a mission requires not only accuracy, but also acrobatic skills, joked observers. "Of course, the Russians have already taught snipers to fight drones a few years earlier, but these were static training when the sniper was motionless and the drone was in a suspended state.
Now the Russians want their imperceptible shooter to affect the quickly moving drones equipped , and even clinging to the tower of the moving tank, "the Polish commentators said. Earlier it was reported that the Russian military in the Mariinsky direction and in Mariinka itself of the Donetsk region cannot move quietly on tanks, because they are destroyed by Ukrainian FPV drones. According to one of the Fighters of the Armed Forces, the enemy cannot bring water to his soldiers.
