"Isn't it time to knock it down?": Russians in despair through Ukrainian killer drones like-22-Forbes
In three months, two aircraft on the Yak-52-the pilot in the front seat and the shooter on the back-destroyed at least 12 Russian drones, given the signs of the lesion, painted on board the aircraft of the 1970s. "Isn't it time to knock it down?" - wrote one Russian blogger. The problem for Russians is that it is difficult to knock down, because it is a convenient platform for a shooter with a shotgun. This aircraft is reliable and invisible.
Screw Yak-52 is not highlighted on the screens of the radar of Russian PPOs. Even if the drone goes to the ram and damages it, the crew, probably, will still be able to plant an aircraft. Earlier this month, another Russian blogger complained that the crew Yak-52 fired on UAV, as in the dash above Odessa.
The Armed Forces are looking for an effective method of destroying Russian drones worth 100,000 dollars without launching Patriot missiles for 4 million or any other expensive Air Defense Air Force. The Armed Forces in April began to climb the air on the Yak-52, maneuvering at a distance of shot from the airplane. The method was effective.
And earlier this month, the Ukrainian Intelligence Administration began to teach shooters to hunt Russian UAVs with the help of sports aircraft "Airpract A-22" of local production. Successful hunting crew Yakovlev inspired the development of a completely new tactics for combating drones. The Russians are now losing patience as their losses grow. We will remind that in early April Ukraine had a light -motor plane of the Cessna type and attacked the drone plant in the Russian Federation.
