How the French SkyRanger became the Horynich bomber of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and blew up a plant in the Russian Federation (photo)

The unit, which is part of the 14th regiment of the SBS, used "Horynych" to attack a factory that manufactures explosives and high-explosive aerial bombs for the Russian Armed Forces, according to a Babel media report. Editor-in-chief Gleb Gusev spent three days with the fighters, who showed the airfield, light-engine bomber drones, FABs that are loaded before the strike.

The commander of the unit with the call sign "Horynych" fought in the Special Operations Forces, and then transferred to the SBS, according to the article. The military man told how a new deepstrike drone appeared in the Armed Forces - the first light-engine aircraft that became a bomber. It turned out to be a French SkyRanger sports plane worth 50-55 thousand dollars. Such planes are bought by pilots and assembled like a constructor.

The soldiers of the Armed Forces acted in a similar way: in order to turn the SkyRanger into a "Horynych" they attached an additional fuel tank and batteries, a navigation and communication system, suspensions for ammunition, while removing everything superfluous, for example, the pilot's seat. OFAB-100-120 — high-explosive fragmentation aerial bombs (usually attached to Su-25, MiG-29, Su-27, Su-30) are used as ammunition.

The fighters assured that the accuracy of "Horynych" is up to a meter, and the anti-aircraft systems "Pantsiri", "Buki", S-300 do not interfere with it and, above all, it does not interfere with GPS signal suppression. "Due to the operational range and specifics of the missions, the Horynich aircraft can be classified as a strategic bomber. Of course, this term has never been applied and is not applied to aircraft of this class, because they look completely incompatible," the article reads.

One of the last strikes by "Horynych" took place on the night of October 6, the article states. The target is the Yakov Sverdlov plant in Dzerzhynsk, not far from Nizhny Novgorod. The plant employs 5,000 Russians who make explosives for FABs. The military described an approximate plan for a long-range attack on the Russian Federation. The operation began with the fact that reconnaissance drones flew forward, which identified dangerous points. After that, decoy drones moved.

Then there are strike UAVs, for example, the "Lyuty" drone, which hunts electronic warfare systems. And only then, when the "corridor" for the attack appeared, did "Horynych" move. The plane covered about a thousand kilometers, flew next to the Pantsir-S1 air defense systems, which did not notice it, the military said. There are three bombs on the pendants. Two 120 mm artillery mines went first, and a third bomb, a FAB-200, followed. After that, "Horynych" spied on the target like a kamikaze plane.

50 kg of fuel remained in the aircraft's fuel tanks: after hitting the ground, the timer was turned on and in five minutes, the thermobaric ammunition detonated. A few hours later, another "Horynych" attacked the same target, and within a day - seven more, the interlocutor of the media said. It is also emphasized that the reports of the SBS hide the strikes of the "Horynych" unit in the top-secret sector.

The media published a photo of a bomber drone attacking military facilities of the Russian Armed Forces. According to the commander's data, the Russians lost 3-5 billion dollars: the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit hundreds of strategic targets — military industrial complex factories, arsenals, and facilities of the oil and gas complex. Another photo shows a serviceman and six FABs. Behind are two "Horynych" bombers in combat colors.

We also see a resort, from which deepstrike drones take off, lined with slabs. It should be noted that on August 18, SBS commander Robert Brovdi spoke about the drone attack on the Nikolskoye pumping station on the Druzhba oil pipeline in the Tambov region. According to the commander, the oil pipeline will have problems for a long time.
