"Drone War" in Ukraine has changed greatly: what is now most afraid of the front

Previously, the Armed Forces was the leader in the use of FPV-oules, now Russia is not behind and also uses them for attack, while more actively using the HRS for protection. In Ukraine, unmanned aircraft play a leading role in the fight against Russian invaders, especially in the southern direction of the front. The material was published about it Economist on Sunday, October 29. Drones are used as a means of reducing the superiority of Russian fire power.

However, the use of drones is also significant risks, as pilots can easily be detected and attacked by an opponent. Unmanned aerial vehicles fire and strike the enemy from the air. They have the ability to deliver explosives capable of destroying expensive weapons and enemy equipment. Red -off operators have the advantage that they can attack from different points and choose the most vulnerable goals.

Ukrainians were the first to think of using FPV-punks, which are driven by pilots and can maneuver in real time. The use of such Kamikadze copter now allows the Ukrainian military to strike with great accuracy. Some drones have already been able to disrupt Russian military equipment at a considerable distance from the front line.

According to "Hammer", the commander of the 47th Ukrainian Brigade, which operates in the Zaporizhzhya direction of the front, the Russians learn from their mistakes and mistakes of the Armed Forces. Last summer, some units began to equip the most valuable weapons, such as tanks and artillery, boxes with complexes to create obstacles that create high-energy fields around the object, so the signals of communication around it simply cease to work, including UAV images.

Attacking with a drone such a position or technique without video is almost unrealistic. Sign -off Ukrainian units do not yet have such technology. "FPV type drones have completely changed the tactics of armored infantry battle, and we have to adapt better. Earlier, only brigades thought about the EW. Piranha-techno ", which develops systems of EWS in Ukraine.

The 25-year-old Ukrainian military with the call sign "Major" said that there was almost no chance of survival in the fighter, if the enemy pilot noticed him and sent Dron Kamikadze. Russian UAVs can fly out of your positions and disguise with friendly devices, and then raise and explode. The chambers of such drones are not very, but the speed reaches 150-160 km/h, so you cannot overtake. "Major" shared that he survived four UAV attacks, and his two brothers could not escape.

"If you have a bad shelter, then you are probably a net. God, not physics, decides whether you will survive," the serviceman said. The military in Ukraine understands that the future belongs to drones and needs better adaptation to this new form of war. They are aware of the importance of UAV in the modernization of hostilities and the introduction of new methods of combating them. The Ukrainian army states the need to develop more effective technical means of counteracting drone.

We will remind, in the second half of October the spokesman of the Air Force Yuri Ignat said that the Russians make drones of unknown type with engines with AliExpress. According to a representative of the Air Force, this is not the first time when the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "sticks" from the sticks "drones. However, he noted that drum drones carry several kilograms of explosives and are still dangerous.
