"Turned out to be helpless": the military explained why the air defense and the edges of Moscow missed drones (video)

The Defense Ministry claims that they were able to suppress the UAV, but Sergei Grabsky noted that they were equally hit in the building. In addition, there were no communication problems in Moscow, as during previous attacks. On July 24, drones attacked Moscow, despite praised Russian air defense and radio electronic fighting. The Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a participant in peacekeeping missions in Kosovo and Iraq, Sergei Grabsky, told a single telephone as they succeeded.

According to the military, the Russian protection system is still based on the principles of the USSR, when the drum drones have not been massively used. Ukraine was able to build a fairly effective air defense against UAVs after significant losses due to significant losses due to Russian blows, but the Russian Federation did not work. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that the troops had supplied two UAVs by means of radio electronic struggle.

"In this case, these systems were helpless in the destruction of such drones," said Sergei Grabsky. - "The enemy can now rely exclusively on the means of electronic wrestling. But you know, I have the question: these drones have been hit in the building and exploded, so they were unlikely to be suppressed, perhaps they have not reached objects, and this, so to speak, technical error.

" According to the Ukrainian military, the main work of powerful complexes of the IEC is to suppress a wide range of frequencies, and this can also affect the work of communication, including mobile. Sergiy Graborsky doubted that in this case the Russians released such technology. "In such a densely populated city, they can affect the work of different systems.

If they were really used, it is an additional factor in the effectiveness of these drones, because they force the enemy to turn on such means that interfere with the normal life of the city itself," the expert summed up. It is worth recalling that earlier in Russia, the GPS system was glued after an UAV attack on the Kremlin on May 3. The inhabitants of Moscow then complained about the failure of satellite navigators, who showed the wrong geolocation.

The fact is that long-range drones use GPS during flight to adjust the route in the event of any deviations, such as a strong wind. Some aircraft have a spare navigation system, which is based on barometers, compasses and other sensors, but it is less accurate and is used solely for insurance. The same happened on May 30, when Moscow was massively attacked by unknown drones, and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation declared the use of HRS.

The most difficult problems with GPS have affected taxi drivers who could not find the right road in an unfamiliar metropolis and canceled the order. It is worth noting that on July 24, reports with communication and navigation in Russia did not receive. On May 30, three drones crashed into residential buildings in the Moscow region. Alexander Kovalenko, the Information Resistance Group, suggested that they had to strike for other purposes, but went out of the course through Russian remedies.
