The Russian Federation for the first time attacked the shamed jet: the analyst explained why the air defense will be difficult to intercept them

To extend: Alexander Kovalenko, a military observer of the Information Resistance Group, drew attention to the first use of jet drones, which attacked the armed forces of the Russian Federation in the rear of Ukraine. It is not known how air defense has coped with them - anti -aircraft drones and mobile fire groups. The observer noted that earlier the jet Shahd-238 spoke Iran, with the devices they had a speed of half a thousand km/h.

After the first use of jet drones, it is difficult to predict whether such attacks of the Russian Federation will become mass, Kovalenko explained on the Facebook page. In his opinion, the appearance of this type of UAV is associated with the use of drones-interceptors, and the consequences should be considered now. The observer voiced the possible purpose of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which used jet drones.

It is probably about the tests during which the Ukrainian drones-interceptors were to be able to check with them. In addition, their speed is twice or three times higher than the speed of mobile firing groups that are unable to catch up. According to Kovalenko, the Russians try to check how Ukrainian air defense remedies are handled with this type of threats. Probably, such drones will continue to appear during air attacks and will be used in combination with other means of damage.

"It is not excluded that the jet drones will be used more often, trying to overload our air defense and exhaust it, forcing more often to use anti -aircraft guided missiles when reflecting such plaque," - says the post. Kovalenko also listed a number of shortcomings of jet drones and summed up that they are unlikely to become wunderwaffe, which would change the course of war. However, in his opinion, it is necessary to "deal with goals and threats now.

" The observer reminded that the first Iranian military was spoke about Shahd-238 in 2023. During the presentation, it was said that UAVs were able to move at a speed of about 550 km/h. In this case, UAVs had three modifications depending on the method of giving the target: by coordinates, with electronic optical guidance, with radar. During the Russo-Ukrainian War, it has not been recorded by mass cases of use of jet drones, Kovalenko wrote.

According to him, he was the only incident - January 2024. The post lists the problems of ShahED-238: the air command has not commented on the appearance of jet drones and the ability to counteract the available air defense means. The Air Force of the Armed Forces in the morning of July 30 reported the Night Stroke of the Russian Federation and the number of drones and rockets used by the Russians to attack Ukraine.

The command reported that 78 drones of different models were flying - Shahaneda (UAV) and Gerber (imitators). Separately emphasized that they noticed a group of reactive UAVs, but the model was not indicated. The direction of movement of this type of drones - in the northern regions, is reported in the air forces. Meanwhile, the day before, on July 29, the possible appearance of jet drones was warned by the head of the Ministry of Defense Mikhail Fedorov, wrote "Mirror of the Week".

The official stated that it is worth expecting new modifications to the UAV of the Russian Federation, which would try to cope with anti-aircraft drones. It should be noted that Focus wrote about the consequences of the night blow of the Russian Federation. Among others, Kharkiv was injured. According to the military administration, drones of Kamikadze, as well as ten cabins, hit the region. It exploded in two districts of the regional center: up to ten people were injured, there is destruction.
