"Merging with Civil Aviation": aircraft-Dron flew 1500 km and blew a plant in the Russian Federation-Forbes (video)

GUR engineers turned into two-type aircraft-Airpract a-22 and Skyranger Nynja. Both inexpensive camcorders, simple onboard computers and satellite radio communication. A month after Ukraine began to strike for purposes inside the Russian Federation with the help of sports aircraft with explosives, one of these drones attacked an oil refining plant in Salavat (Bashkortostan), about 1500 km from the front line. Forbes reports.

Today it is the farthest attack of Ukrainian drones aimed at Russian oil refineries and other strategic military facilities. This is at least a fourth attempt at a deep impact using UAVs reworked. The video made by eyewitnesses in the Russian Salavat, clearly shows wide straight wings, wheels and a propeller, typical of an inexpensive sports aircraft, which can be collected from a kit worth only $ 90,000.

The Ukrainian Intelligence Administration, in conjunction with the SCO command, has transformed two types of aircraft into drones-Airpract A-22 and Skyranger Nynja. Both inexpensive camcorders, simple onboard computers and satellite radio communication for video transmission to a remote operator. Apparently, the "A-22" explosion is located inside the cabin. In Ninja - under the belly of a bomb weighing 100 kg.

Both planes, according to journalists, fly at a speed of about 160 km/h and merge with civilian air traffic, which complicates their interception. It is possible that the developers have added additional fuel tanks to the aircraft to provide a greater flight range. Among the other purposes of such aircraft was Shakhad's drone factory in Elabuz and the extinguished radar. The third plaque of a sports aircraft, this time with the participation of Nynja, failed on April 27.

Attack on Gazprom Neftechim Salaavat refinery was more effective. This refinery is considered one of Russia's largest oil enterprises. What goals Ukraine is trying to achieve with the help of a campaign of deep blows is not quite clear. These raids have slowed the production of gasoline in the Russian Federation, but probably not enough to have an immediate impact on the economy. It is believed that such blows affect logistics, but have no significant impact on the total annual processing volume.

It is possible that these raids are designed to create a burden on Russian air defense and forced to protect hundreds of potential goals throughout the Russian Federation. But, according to the US Army General, retired by Mark Hertling, it is impossible to protect everything. It is best to view deep blows as a complement to the strokes closer to the front line - airfield attacks and landfills with land missiles. We will remind that BMP Bradley staged a night trap for Russian tanks.
