To protect the refinery: as Russia with a copy of Ukrainian tactics to fight Drone-Kamikadze

The focus understood how the Russian Federation tries to protect its own sky. The punches of drones, according to various estimates, struck up to 15% of Russian oil refineries. The most distant blow took place at a distance of 1500 km from the Ukrainian territory, which allows to speak about the significant expansion of Ukraine's shock capabilities.

In response, the Russian army tries to copy Ukrainian methods of combating air threats: machine guns on warships are installed separately in the Russian Federation. At the end of March, Russian media showed how in the Russian Federation plan to fight air threats. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has instructed to create mobile fire groups that should knock down drones. The Russians want to create mobile anti-aircraft gun groups from UAV.

They will consist of: smoke generators should close objects as it happens to protect the Crimean bridge. For this purpose, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has installations of TDA-M and TDA-3. However, their effectiveness is dependent on wind and other weather conditions. In addition, it is not known how many occupiers have similar installations.

The Defense Express is convinced that the occupiers will continue to copy Ukrainian know-how, in particular at night, floodlights will be used and copying the mobile group management system using a general radar survey system. Also, the creation of mobile fire groups is a testament to a deficit in the Russian army of anti-aircraft gun missile systems "Starry-C1".

In addition to mobile firing groups, the occupiers also experiment with the mating of several machines or machine guns in one installation. It is known that in The Luhansk region of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has already tested the installation with three machine guns of the PKT caliber 7. 62 mm and four AK-47 machines. However, such attempts will obviously not be effective. Kalashnikov's machine has a store on 30 ammunition.

In the case of a drone in the sky, the calculation will be able to fire only a few seconds. The Ukrainian army also experimented and uses paired machine guns. For example, in territorial defense there were cases of combining two Maxim machine guns, which were developed during the First World War. With water cooling, this system can be effective for long -term fire. On May 16, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed the training of the Pacific Fleet.

It was aimed at working out the reflection of sea drones. For this purpose, more than 15 ships and boats were involved with the corvet of the project 20380 "Crasheny" and the latest RESKI ship, which was in September 2023. Ukraine has already drown more than one Russian ship thanks to sea drone. The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation is almost all relocated to Novorossiysk. Therefore, the Russian Federation conducted training in the Far East.

The invaders plan to fight the threat of sea drones with the help of machine guns on a swivel. This may indicate a shortage of modern machine guns as well as "KORD". The use of the latter was announced by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, but they did not get into the frame. The video also shows that the sailors also fired from Kalashnikov's machines, but the fire was fired just towards an imaginary target. That is, such maneuvers are not practical.

In addition, Ukrainian attacks usually take place at night, and the occupiers do not have any aiming tools to identify targets at a late hour. However, in addition to machine guns, Russian ships have vertical takeoff drones and landing to detect sea drones, but it is unknown whether they are on the Black Sea Fleet. As a result, Russian attempts to improve air defense defense depend on the number of mobile fire groups.
