Silessly came out of the rear: Russians complain about the attacks of improved Ukrainian drones "Baba Yaga"

Roscosmos expert Dmitry Rogozin states that Ukrainians not just process agricultural copters, but have created a separate type of heavy helicopter type with electric motors and increased flight range. The Defense Forces of Ukraine began to use silent percussion unmanned aerial vehicles type "Baba Yaga" in the Orikhiv direction in the Zaporizhzhia region. The former head of "Roscosmos" and the Russian military "advisor" Dmitry Rogozin wrote about it in his Telegram-channel on April 23.

The propagandist stated that the appearance of such drones in Ukraine was "predictable", since earlier Russian snipers could learn about the approaching air target by sound. "This is no longer a processing of agricultural drone into combat, but a separate type of heavy helicopter type UAV with electric motors and a powerful battery to increase its range," he says.

Rogozin also pointed to a change in the tactics of the use of these drones - UAVs came not from the front, but from the rear, which may indicate an increase in their range. According to him, the identity of drone was only able to use with the help of night vision cameras. The Russians did not open fire on them, hoping to first study their routes and tactics, as well as to identify the positions of Ukrainian operators.

Roscosmos Exglava also posted a photo that, as claimed, depicted knocked down drones of the last modification. It can be seen not a large "grandmother Yaga", but six small shock copters like FPV. Recall that the name "Baba Yaga" is often used by the Russians for the Ukrainian Vampire hexocopter production of SkyFall and similar in characteristics and use of drones. Vampire is a large enough drone with a night vision system that raises a healthy load weighing up to 15 kg to a height of 400 km.

On April 17, Dmitry Rogozin stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation first recorded mass use by Ukrainian military in the Zaporizhzhya region a flock of shock drones equipped with thermal imaging. Earlier, on April 11, Rogozin complained that Ukrainian drones were forming whole squadrons and flying in pairs.
