The expert noted that on the night of March 6, the air defense shot down 13 out of 15 Shahd drones, running Russia. According to him, Ukrainian troops have already learned to resist these aircraft, as they are large, noisy and noticeable in both radar and infrared ranges. "Shahidi were a formidable weapon at the beginning when no tactics were opposed to them, and when there were many drones of these drones - he could literally paralyze the air defense system in one massive launch.
The enemy was still setting up. And we learned how to knock down, "Yuri Kasyanov commented. He added that the experience of using the Russians SHAHED has shown - to find and knock down drones of this class is not so difficult. Despite this, many Ukrainian figures still seek to create a domestic "Shahid", repeating the main design decisions of Iranians along with the same defects. "To carry at least 50 kg per thousand kilometers," Yuri Kasyanov quoted the demands for Ukrainian drones-Kamikadze.
The military also believes that Ukraine does not need analogues of ShahED, but lighter and more invisible devices. According to his estimates, a capacity of 1-2 kg is sufficient to defeat the Russian tank, because just so much weighs a cumulative charge or a "shock core" that punches the armor. A kilogram of fragmental ammunition will be sufficient to destroy enemy SPRs or aircraft at aerodromes. The main role in the attack of UAV plays not the weight of the combat part, but the accuracy.
"We need to have mass production of cheap, precise, small, imperceptible to the enemy drones, hundreds of which, which are launched in the day, can arrange in the deep rear of the enemy Armageddon. Just as we knock down "Shahidi", - Yuri Kasyanov summed up. On the night of March 5 to March 6, four drones were attacked by the Dnipropetrovsk region. According to OVA head Sergei Lisak, all of them managed to knock down. In addition, Iranian UAVs destroyed above Kharkiv. region.
