In the Russian Federation, a "smart" balloon for cities bombardment was beaten: accused of the Armed Forces, but there are nuances (photos)

The balloon is programmed to drop the bomb if he finds herself above one of the chosen settlements in Russia, the invaders assure. But the Russians themselves could be launched. In Russia, for the first time beaten an unmanned balloon with an autonomous control system and an explosive combat unit. The fragments of the apparatus showed and analyzed the Russian Telegram-channel "UAVS RESPORT".

According to the Russians, a ballast was hanged from the bottle, a container with electronics for control, GPS navigation module, a box with a satellite tracker Spot Trace and a bomb of two pipes, explosives and pieces of steel rods as elements of the lesion. The system constantly monitors the coordinates during the flight, and in the controller the coordinates of Russian cities are programmed.

Along with her, the sensor in the shoes is flying so that the creators of the balloon can trace where the Russians will take the debris. The author of the channel hints that the balloon has launched the forces of Ukraine's defense. As he assures, the battle part is standard, they are used by Ukrainian drones-Kamikadze and bombers.

The balloon itself is reminiscent of harmless meteolosonds on the outside and on the principle of work, so that it is more difficult to identify and knock down. Ukrainian military, radio technology expert Sergey Beskrestnov with the call sign "Flash" on his channel in Telegram criticized the version To predict where such a ball will fly. Even if you analyze the wind below, then a completely different story is on top. It's like shooting a gun to nowhere.
