Without drones there is no Pokrovskaya. That will become the main problem for the Armed Forces this winter on the front

The serviceman and blogger Alexander Karpyuk draws attention to the main, in his opinion, the problem of the Armed Forces on the front is a shortage of drones. If this problem is not solved, not only the loss of Pokrovsk, but also the Slavic storm will be inevitable. Protection of Pokrovskaya, Donetsk direction. I will not describe the complexity of the situation here, but there is one thing but. These are the means.

Until recently, the unit's ability to perform defensive and assault tasks depended on the number of people. This is where the strategy of offensive, defense and more was formed. Everything is not so obvious now. A couple of crews of good Fpvishnika with the support of the marshli carousel (with discharges and without) and the wing can spread the platoon by storming. If they have these Mags and FPV. The situation with the means in the Donetsk direction has deteriorated.

The activity is large, there are many units. Everyone lacks what the state or the volunteers give. When the assault of Avdiivka began, I flew to the sands and, passing Karlovka, had already given the FPV team to take off. We flew on the sands almost simultaneously. If there was a moving target, we destroyed it. If there was no movable, then they led to the stationary. And for the most part, we beat moving goals all working day. Transport, piggies, armor, all.

Single Pedog? Norms, keep the FPV in the face. We made the sand road from the sand at one time. Because we had something. Now everything is more difficult. We can no longer fly on a single pig. FPV deficiency. It is necessary to filter goals. Reb evolved, and constant changes and completion of drones are needed so that they are successful in this direction. More drones need to be captured by the goal. But they are not enough, although they can change the schedule in the Donetsk direction.

And given all the resources that are involved here, the cost of all these Moors/FPV, which is needed here, is not a very large amount in the accounting department of war. In my unit, there was a proposal for one of the "big people" to form something like a "support fund" that will be able to make there, I do not know, 10-20-30 million dollars that would be directed solely to the purchase of Mavicians and FPV with Technators who would ask units and land stations antennas.

Whatever the applications were collected on effective shock units, perhaps in cooperation with funds such as "PZA", "Prits", "Cases of Communities", Sternenko and others. In order to find these Maviics and completion anywhere, to put them in Ukraine as soon as possible. And the speed of payment of drones from manufacturers and their shipment to units would have a minimum shoulder. Because we go to the winter. Winter is not the time of wings.

This is the time of Mavicians, because cloudiness at an altitude of 100-200 meters will not allow you to fly large wings. We will lose greatly in prompt awareness, the presence of Mavica and Fpvishka on the lift will decide the result of the battle. If we go to the winter without enough means of the right quality - well, hi, meat storms, Pokrovsk fortress - and all, they came, the fortress of Sloviansk - you are as follows. We need to honestly admit that we do not pull this direction.

We need more money for this and more means. And tomorrow they will need more times, because the weather will deteriorate, the losses of the Mavicians will increase. $ 30 million is 3000 Moors, Daytime and Night (depending on what you need more, thermals or usual, the figure may vary before increasing or decreasing). As well as 17,000 thousand FPV, day and night. Given changes in daylight and increasing the dark time, a greater need will be in FPV on thermal imaging chambers.

And you need to place the order now to make it. This number of drones can be Game Changer in the Donetsk direction. The amount mentioned above is not overwhelming for the state or top sponsors. And given the advantage of these tools will receive nothing about it. Therefore, only people who can quickly start such a project are left.

If, of course, the loss of Pokrovskaya, Selidovo and other cities, not to mention the possibility of avoiding losses of personnel in situations where drones would be better fought than people, worried someone. Otherwise, winter will be more complicated than many people think. And when we recognize this problem in a few months, it will be too late. And to lose fighters is much more expensive for the state even in terms of payments.
