The Armed Forces showed the work of Vampire drones under Bakhmut: why are they so afraid of Russians (video)

92nd separate mechanized brigade. The cat chieftain Ivan Sirko in the dark at the positions. They attach to a large unmanned aircraft ammunition and send equipment to the enemy's location. There, the Ukrainian drone drops the ammunition and thus deal with the large and expensive equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

According to the profile ministry, these UAVs are able to fly quickly - usually at a speed of about 23 meters per second - and carry heavy explosive devices to hostile purposes. Vampire is equipped with thermal immays that allow operators to identify and target it at the enemy at night. Some other UAVs also have the capacity of thermal party, but the ability to fly both day and night with heavy ammunition makes a "vampire" a valuable technical purchase for the Ukrainian army.

Vampire bombers have already become a problem for the Russian army that received a threatening nickname among her troops-Baba Yaga. Russian propaganda Telegram channels at one time even spread information that this Ukrainian drone is able to "steal sleeping soldiers", because it is so powerful that it is allegedly calmly raising a healthy load, a weight of an adult. In hostilities, the drone destroys the warehouses, live power and cars of the invaders.

Our pilots are used mainly at night to be less noticeable. And in the afternoon - they test it with a new explosive. The drone works autonomously - the operators indicate the coordinates, the drone flies to the target, drops the ammunition, then returns on its own. Baba Yaga can carry a payload, weighing up to 20 kilograms. Baba-Yaga drone is usually equipped with several radio channels protected from navigation obstacles at different frequencies.

With full loading, the drone rises not higher than 30 meters and flies at a speed of not more than 40 km/h. We will remind, in early April we wrote that in Ukraine produce percussion drones of Vampire for $ 10 thousand. SkyFall drones raise ammunition weighing up to 15 kg and destroy Russian tanks at any time of the day. And in August 2022 it became known that the Armed Forces of Ukraine received a new weapon from the United States, including drones of Vampire.
