Tanks-tanks with EWS

The reason for this is the development of technologies, including cheap and efficient FPV-pins. The focus figured out why the "barbecue" and the ride on Russian armored vehicles - this is not a cause for jokes. At the beginning of a full -scale invasion, Russian tanks were equipped with "grilles", which in the Western world called the Cope Cage. Such machines became objects of ridicule and mockery of the invaders.

Probably the enemy wanted to protect the cars from two threats: Javelin PTRC, the rocket is striking his upper tank project and Bayraktar TB2, which has been armed with Ukraine since 2019. And if these two threats of the "cage" were indeed ineffective, then they can work against FPV. Around the summer of 2022, the FPV drones began to appear on the battlefield. They were the first to use Ukrainian defenders. Now in the yard spring 2024.

Ukraine has a shortage of ammunition, and the FPV-a-kido on the battlefield is so many that they do not spare them even with single infantrymen. There are many of them not only from the Armed Forces, but also the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. So, to find out why the "visor" and the EWS on the armored vehicles can be effective, the focus has turned to the FPV-a-kid's glyb, which is now fighting in complex one of the volunteer units. The author of the tank blog btvt.

info Andriy Tarasenko wrote that the "visor" on the battlefield is a need on a modern battlefield. "Branes" cause laughter not because they are not needed or in vain, but because their design is primitive and ill -considered. Huge "barbecues" increase the visibility of the tank. Western manufacturers also developed protection of the tower in the upper project. For example, for Leopard 2 or Leclerc. Gleb has the same opinion.

He says FPV-punks are extremely effective, so you cannot laugh from barbecue protection. People can still think that "visors" are ineffective, but it is not. Now even the Israeli army began to use them on its technique. "You want to live - you will adapt," Gleb notes. According to the military, the brazier is also effective in that they scatter a cumulative stream if the FPV-Dron is equipped with such a projectile. "Mangalas are effective because they scatter the cumulative beam.

The cage itself is located quite high above the tower, so the cumulative stream when it reaches the tower is no longer so effective. The tank will be anyway, but for APC or other light armor - as lucky. It does not break if everything is done, " - explains the focus of the FPV operator. An important nuance for attacks on "visors" technique is its design, as well as the radio horizon. Radio -horizon is the visibility of the antenna with drone. It transmits video video from the drone to the operator.

As Gleb explains, if the antenna stands on the ground, then at an altitude of 5-10 meters the connection will break. If it will be somewhere in the air and with a repeater, then in this case the signal will not disappear and at the level with the ground. However, all this is highly dependent on the terrain. "If the radio horizon allows, you can fly low and come from the side, look for vulnerable places.

If it does not allow it, and you have to dive from above on the tower, then there will be nothing more than the technique," Gleb explains. The Russians moved from the "barbecue" to the complexes of the EWS on armored vehicles, which should be protected from the FPV-aroma. They blazes the signal and the operator must lose the signal. Such devices are created both in Ukraine and in the Russian Federation. However, Gleb emphasizes that the topic of the EW is much more complicated.

Gleb explains that the occupiers usually program EW to standard frequencies - 868 and 916 MHZ, but now everyone is shifting to other frequencies. Therefore, together with the transition of drones to new frequencies, they also change on the means of the IEx. "Even the standard Jammer can be hu ** as a quote, because this antenna, such a stick, puts, but there is a bad polarization. If you look at the Direction Diagram, there is such a peculiar bagel around the antenna.

However Calm quietly, ”says volunteer. Often, manufacturers sell the complexes of radio electronic wrestling, but they are very ineffective. "Here they have a Volnorez complex, which was unwinding, for and ** Anuta grandmothers sold, advertised, but he did not work in the fact , some Ukrainian manufacturers did so. Recently, the photos of the Russian tank were also appeared on the network, on which 6 antennas and Modules of the EW were installed on the "visor".

Specialist Sergei Flesh explained that the obstacle modules were Chinese and without active cooling. Everything is collected on radiators. The complexes are aimed at suppressing MAVIC within a radius of 500-800 meters and FPV-goals ELRS for 50-150 meters. The soldiers of the 12th Brigade of the National Guard "Azov", when they tried to hit the Russian T-72B3 tank with such a "dome", said FPV fell, like flies because of the action of the EW.
