Russia rearranges the module "comet-m" from drones "Orlan" on the winged bombs: why is it necessary

It is increasingly difficult for the occupiers to find high -quality bombs with the UMPC, which are attacked by Ukraine. In the Russian Federation, foreign components for military equipment are rapidly ending, so for their winged planning bombs with a unified planning and correction module, they began to use "Comet-M" removed from the Orlan drones. Aviation expert Petro Butovsky wrote about it for the media The Drive.

"Comet-M" is a protected antenna of OJSC "VNDIR-PROGRESS", which makes Russian drones "invisible" for the means of EWS. It is responsible for NATO receivers in terms of security. However, it is intended for drones and drones, not for heavy unmanaged bombs. In addition, this antenna has a major drawback: at the same time it can neutralize only three HR systems. Therefore, on the front, the Ukrainian military found a way to suppress and disorient such drones.

"It is difficult for our four cars to" Bukovel ", which has gone on all sides, we are clicking on all sides, but it is difficult to do it organizationally," explained the Ukrainian serviceman and a specialist in electronic wrestling at the pseudonym Sergei Flesh. Piotr Butovski notes that to resort to the reinstallation of "comet-m" from the unmanned lethal apparatus "Orlan-10" on bombs with a set of wings of the Russians forced "technical hunger".

In the production of the UMPC, the aggressor country used many imported parts. But they began to end rapidly, because Russia did not assume that it would be involved in a long war. Therefore, the developers are hastily trying to equip the necessary military equipment with domestic counterparts. Petro Butovsky notes that unmanaged bombs with a set of Russian wings have a number of shortcomings.

"Russian kits of wings for" blunt "bombs are improvised devices with numerous disadvantages," the expert says. Among these shortcomings: January 4, 2023, the first information was emerged that Russia was using general -purpose bombs equipped with winged kits, to defeat goals in Ukraine. Ammunition Russian military launched from Su-35 Flanker and Su-34 Fullback aircraft.

The wing kits made it possible for Russian aircraft to strike indirect blows and remain inaccessible to the Ukrainian air defense system. We will remind, the Russian Federation is about to send a new drone "Archangel" to the front. However, it is still unknown whether the drone has passed all the necessary tests. In addition, we wrote earlier about what is known about Russian winged bombs of the UMPC. The UMPC is a set of wings for unmanaged bombs of the Fab series.
