"The tail fell off": the Armed Forces told how "Orlan-10" was beaten and what is it dangerous (video)
"Joker" said that the enemy drone flew at a speed of 60 km/h, so it was necessary to shoot ahead of the target in front of him. Only under such conditions the bullet had the chance to fly. In addition, it was necessary to take a constant position, for example, by resting in a tree. "We heard that there was a fire on the sky somewhere from the anti -aircraft, and realized that we needed to prepare. I told people to stand up in combat order, we took positions and waited: maybe he would fly.
But there was no hope that he would not fly so low ", - recalled the air intelligence. He said that the gust of the wind then was approximately 15 m/s. The defenders raised their drone for search, but the observation was difficult. Subsequently, the enemy UAV flew. "I thought we did not impress him, but then saw that the tail fell off and the object disappeared from view," the fighter shared. The "Joker" explained that such drones almost do not fly above the ground.
Exceptions can only be due to bad weather, then the goals are a chance to knock down. "Anti -aircraft guns, basically, try to hit them, and with small arms - it is a very rare, even in the whole condition, with full complete set," the defender emphasized. He said that the previous models of "Orlan" rose 700 meters. The new ones fly at a height of 3-5 kilometers, because they are explored not only thanks to the camera.
They are equipped with a bunch of antennas and sensors that detect radio stations and mobile phones. So these drones also adjust the fire of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "The cost of the full complex of such UAV is $ 120,000. Usually the enemy goes after him in the event of a fall, or destroys artillery with fire. But this time we lost it from sight, lifted our drone, quickly found it, checked for mines," - said the aeronautical intelligence officer.
He added that you can meet "Orlan" in the Kupyansk direction, and sometimes they fly "flocks". "Therefore, we are on a 24/7 task. We have several crews. Every exit is a sleepless night. Even a simple soldier joins the planning, and the commander is the first to go and checks whether this group can accomplish the task," the fighter said. According to the "Joker", even "Orlan" drones are fixed even a WiFi signal.
"If we decompose Starlink, then" Orlan "can" read "the access point and pass this information. If there is a WiFi router in the middle of the landing, it is clear that it is not a combiner, but the military," he explained. Defenders try to connect Starlink directly or limit the WiFi radius to a minimum. "It does not read the Starlink antenna itself.
On the front lines the ligaments are bad, and when the" Orlan "flies, if it has a mobile phone search feature at this point, it works in tower mode and gives a more powerful signal than the tower - phones connect To him, the enemy begins to see them, " - said the serviceman. He noted that the Orlan air intelligence copes out perfectly, because his camera "works perfectly". "See" it is up to three kilometers, and the drone is able to transmit a signal up to 150 kilometers.
"On a certain route, it can overcome up to 600 km or 10 hours of flight. When we knocked it down, the tank was almost complete. This means that the UAV was launched about an hour ago," the defender added. We will remind, on September 11 on the destruction of the drone "Orlan" declared in the 77th brigade of DShV. The elimination of drone has become possible due to the cooperation of HRs and air defense.
