On the weekend of the Armed Forces, they tried to attack Kyiv with so-called

Cheap but dangerous to air defense. How do the drones of "lawn mowers" differ from Iranian "mopeds" by Shahd?

On the weekend of the Armed Forces, they tried to attack Kyiv with so-called "gas drones". The sound of "new" UAVs can be confused with a driving motorcycle and even by a car. But the Air Force spokesman emphasizes that these are not the first low -quality Russian drones and for the Ukrainian air defense, it is no more difficult to bring them down than other goals.

On October 22, the Russian military launched shock drones on October 22, and explosions heard in several districts of Kiev and the region. Eyewitnesses paid attention to the new sound of their span, which this time sounded not as a "moped" but as a "lawn mower". The technical characteristics and model of drones are unknown. OSINT analytics showed a video of the improved version of Iranian Shahd-136 with a turbojet engine in September this year.

The range of his flight was reduced, but significantly increased speeds to overcome the air defense systems more efficiently. The developers claimed that the UAV would not have a moped sound, so it is unlikely Open sources and Telegram channels publish photos of the Dron-Gazonocosark engine. Such engines are sold on Aliexpress for about 18 thousand hryvnias, users reported.

Earlier, the Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat spoke about the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the simplest engines with Aliexpress and several kilograms of explosives. "There are many different UDAs in Not. We have war and in the battle goes into hand at hand: if you can buy engines on Aliexpress - buy and collect UAVs, " - said the speaker of the air forces in communication with focus. The task of the "gas-gas traps" can be combat and intelligence.

They are also launched as false goals, said Yuri Ignat. "There are no new technologies in it. It is more difficult to knock it? No. There is no difference that there is no purpose for our air defense - the purpose is the purpose, the metal that flies and it is visible. The Russians have repeatedly made such UAVs," he said. In addition, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can be overloaded with "lawn mowers" of Ukrainian air defense systems, adds Ukrainian serviceman, founder of the project A.

Drones Yuri Kasyanov. Similar tactics are used by Hamas's fighters against the tathal, launching cheap homemade missiles and UAVs. And they are being knocked down in response to expensive missiles by the Iron Dome. "Always, in all war times, there was a cheap weapon on the road. If the latter ends, and your opponent remains cheap - you lose," the focus expert explained.

Interest is not only a cheap lawn -mowing engine, but also the electronics that the Russians put in it for the passage of Ukrainian remedies. According to Kasyanov, no special electronics, except for the comte-m type antennas, are not put on drones. "Note that the goods on AliExpress does not mean that they are not needed. The electronic platform provides everything for picking drones-Kamikadze and even rockets. The difference as for example, the motor can be low resource and last 50 hours.

But drone Kamikadze, who It flies a maximum of 10 hours, equally which motor, " - explained the specialist. Such a drone is at times cheaper than ShahED, but there is a lot of threat. When hit in the fighter, he can greatly damage it, Kasyanov told.

Residents of some areas of Kiev reported on the evening of October 22 on the sounds of the UAV span, but confused them with motorcycles, said the focus of the Armed Forces serviceman, a specialist in communication and radio electronic fight (EDB) Sergey without a Claus "Flash". "They began to understand. It turned out that the bikers who drove the city were misleading.

Probably not to go in the dark, once again on cars with a loud motor or motorcycles, so as not to nervous people," - emphasized the military. The expert believes that according to photos of UAV residues on social networks it is difficult to say what drones were. "More than once, there have been cases where Russian homemade UAVs came to us. And we sent them homemade," he said. Drone runs monitor air defense, target sensors and visual contacts.

They are all used by Ukrainian military, but loud machines and motorcycles can interfere with sound sensors, summed up Flash. We will remind, in Romania it was decided to install a new system of struggle against shock drones on the border with Ukraine. In early September, Iranian drones fell in the Romanian territory. Focus earlier wrote about the successful attack of the Armed Forces on the military camp of Russians near the Khalino aerodrome in Kursk region.
