The Russians attack the cities with "Geran-2" drowns: what is it and how to knock down the drone (photo)

After purchasing from the Iranian Republic, the Russians were applied to the drones-Kamikadze Shahd-136 marking "Geran-2". The drone is not driven by the operator, and the barrier fire is the most effective method of destruction of UAVs. Russian troops continue to use Iranian drones-Kamikadze Shahd-136, known as "Geran-2", for the attack of Ukrainian cities. Intelligence of Ukraine suggests that the Kremlin has purchased about 2400 drones from Iran.

Focus in its material tells that it is known about the drones-Kamikadze Shahd-136/"Geran-2" and how you can counteract the UAVs. After purchasing from the Iranian Republic, the Russians were applied to the drones-Kamikadze Shahd-136 marking "Geran-2". This model was first presented in 2020, and a year later a presentation of the starting unit on the truck for the launch of the UAVs.

The Creators declared by the maximum flight range of ShahED-136 is 2 thousand kilometers, and effective-1000 km, to which Dron-Kamikadze can deliver the combat part. Such a drone flies at an altitude of 60 to 4000 meters at a cruising speed of about 180 km per hour. The most important feature of ShahED-136/"Geran-2" is the fact that UAV is not guided by the operator and has no optical devices. The drone follows the predetermined route and strikes the target for the coordinates prescribed.

The combat part weighs 20-40 kg, and the radius of the defeat is at least a hundred meters. UAV has high destructive power: it easily develops brick walls and overlapping of concrete slabs. In addition, the Drone "Gerani-2" is equipped with satellite navigation of the CRPA type (phased antenna lattice, relatively resistant to the impact of the HRS) and the inertial system.

The most important disadvantage of Dron-Kamikadze is a very loud gasoline engine without a muffler, reminiscent of a moped sound or chainsaw, through which the drone can be easily seen in the air. The exact cost of the Drone "Geran-2" is not opened, but UAV "Predator-1", from which, in fact, copied Iranian drone-Kamikadze Shahd, costs about $ 4 million. . According to experts, the means of electronic fighting should not be used against the drone on the route to the target.

In the case of suppression of UAVs, it is probably automatically switched to the inertial system (direct movement) until it leaves the radius of influencing the IEC, after which it restores accurate positioning and route. The powerful suppression of satellite signals can only be effective near a possible goal, when the radius does not exceed 2 km. But at best, as experts point out, it will reduce the accuracy of the event to the target, which can sometimes be enough.

In addition to the usual air defense tools, you can create a network of high-mobile anti-aircraft calculations with small arms to destroy ShahED-136/"Geran-2". The use of heavy large -caliber machine guns is also not a priority, because to damage UAVs at the average height of their flights (up to 800 meters), the power of large caliber can be excessive.

Various modifications of Kalashnikov machine gun (PKM), mounted on the anti-aircraft machine in a pickup body, Kalashnikov machine gun and a modernized Kalashnikov machine with a corresponding ammunition, are suitable for the destruction of drones-Kamikadze drones. The use of sniper rifles, according to experts, is not considered appropriate. The most effective way to destroy the drones-Kamikadze is a barrier fire.

The calculation should take the advance with a large margin (2 times) and fire every 1-2 seconds at a fixed point on the path of the drone without moving the weapon. During such a scenario, the device must fly into a cloud of balls. Compensation for the reduction of the trajectory is carried out by standard settings of sight devices or with the use of sight grid.

During firing it is important to take into account the maximum approximate advance at this distance and to conduct a barrier for 1-2 seconds, taking a two-time stock: we recall that in the morning on October 17, the Armed Forces attacked Kyiv, using drones-Kamikadze "Geran-2". As a result of the arrivals of Iranian drones in the Shevchenkivskyi district of the capital, explosions thickened, and several apartment buildings were destroyed.
