"We can't suppress our EW": the Russians modernized "Shahedy" - "Flash" explained the details (photo)

Share: Shock drones of the "Shakhed" type, with which the Russians attack Ukraine, have undergone another transformation and have now become less vulnerable to the action of Ukrainian means of radio-electronic warfare. The Ukrainian military began to detect Russian "Shakhed" flying without antennas, which gave rise to many versions and questions. Ukrainian radio technology expert Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov said this on his Facebook page.

Ukrainian pilots of interceptor drones drew attention to this. "Recently, the pilots of interceptor drones report that they are watching Shaheds, which now fly without CRPA antennas. The most fantastic versions arise around this," said "Flash". According to him, "modernization" is actually much simpler. The Russians simply moved the antenna in Shahedi.

"But everything is simpler, the Russians removed the CRPA antennas from the wing and moved them inside the Shahed and in the center," the expert noted. Beskrestnov also showed what it looks like. The expert claims that this nuance indicates close cooperation between Russia and China. "What does this tell an observant and intelligent person? About the fact that the factory made a change to the "Shaheed" body for specific Chinese antennas," explained "Flash".

According to him, this may be a signal that the Russian side is "confident" in long-term cooperation with China. The expert also added that these CRPA antennas make "Shahedy" more resistant to the action of Ukrainian EW means. "We cannot suppress such antennas with our existing EW everywhere throughout the country," said "Flash". The Russians regularly update their drones to carry out attacks in Ukraine.
