Shakhda flew near Kiev for 8 hours: why the Drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are freely circling over Ukraine

The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces reported on the destruction of 25 Iranian drones from 38 launched, mainly under the sight were infrastructure. During air alarm, drones went to the capital from different directions, but the head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Sergei Popko reported on the destruction of the air defense forces and means on the approaches to the city. Air defense worked in Odessa, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Sumy, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy regions.

The anti -aircraft missile troops, the CLOs and the calculation of mobile fire groups were reflected. Three "Shahda" locally lost after crossing the state border with Romania. It should be noted that in some settlements Romania, for the second time in a row, they declared air alarm at night due to the attack of Russian drones on Ukrainian ports on the other side of the Danube River, writes Digi24.

In addition, on the night of July 24, the Romanian Air Force raised two F-16 fighters in the air due to the attack of "Shahaneda". The monitoring channels that track air goals pointed out that the drones attacked the south of Ukraine at first: Odessa and Mykolaiv regions. Then the route ran to Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions. After 2:00 at night, some drones began to fly to the Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions and a course on Bila Tserkva.

As of 6:33 am, two UAVs were circling in the area of ​​Bila Tserkva and Smila, says Pablik Nikolaev Vanek. The Kiev Publises reported the work of air defense in the region near 3:00 am, but two drones flew in a circle to 7:07 between Smila and the White Church. What happened to them later did not specify. Later, the SES showed the process of eliminating the consequences of falling fragments of drones in one of the districts of Kyiv region.

Three dwellings were destroyed, there was also a fire extinguished by 15 rescuers and four pieces of equipment. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured. It is worth noting that earlier with massive plaque drones-Kamikadze mobile groups knocked them out quite promptly. There were no situations when two "Shahi" was circling near Kiev for almost eight hours.

But the mobile groups are not smaller, the long -term circulation of the devices is explained by the search for weaknesses in the Ukrainian air defense system. According to the expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the military expert Vladislav Seleznov, there are "white spots" between the Smila and the White Church in the general system of cover of the sky.

Mobile moving groups on machines sometimes do not have time to catch up with the Shahd-136 drone, flying at a speed of 200 km/h. And Shahd-171 is even faster: the speed of its flight reaches 460 km/h. "It is extremely difficult to get to certain areas on Earth. It should be borne in mind that UAVs are constantly maneuvering in flight. New Russian developments that have not been seen before the front are increasingly," the expert adds.

However, Ukrainian military experts adapt to the insidious tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Unfortunately, the UAVs will continue to wind circles, which are part of the tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the disorientation of air defense. Mobile groups will not work in any area, because the pickups will not pass everywhere, the head of the Center for Military Legal Research, military expert Oleksandr Musienko comments.

If the Russian drone takes off to a height of more than two kilometers, it is extremely difficult to see and impress it. Russia is constantly improving the technique, now their drones can "play" heights: to climb in the sky above or descend to almost trees. Effective development of hostile goals depends on the availability of aircraft of a small radius of action, but at the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are little, emphasized Musienko.

"However, general statistics show a good result of Ukrainian air defense tools," the analyst sums up. On July 25, Musienko considers the fall of the debris of the Russian drone near the village of Plaur in the Tulchytsky district of Romania, NATO countries. Probably, Moscow wanted to arrange an act of intimidation of Bucharest in response to the placement on July 21 in Romania of US strategic bombers B-52 Stratofortress capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

According to Vladislav Seleznov, such drone attacks indicate preparation for a massive rocket strike in Ukraine. The Russians are looking for other UAV flight routes and rockets using Ukrainian GPS navigation. Military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko observes in July reduced intensity of rocket strokes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation compared to June. The alerting trend can indicate the accumulation of ammunition and preparation for a combined rocket stroke.
