Deliveries are impossible: Russia has lost valuable drones "grenade-4" because of sanctions,-InformNapalm

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used drones "Granat-4" in Ukraine to identify the stations of cellular communication, live force and technique of defense forces. European sanctions have led to the disruption of the State Contract of the Ministry of Defense of Russia to supply a complex of unmanned aerial vehicles "Granat-4" by the occupying army.

About it reports the international intelligence community InformNapalm with reference to documents received by the hackers of the Ukrainian team "Cyber ​​Resistance". The development of "Granat-4" is actively engaged in LLC "NGO Izhevsky unmanned systems", which is a subsidiary structure of the Kalashnikov concern. The company even announced a recruitment of staff for further work on the project.

However, the actions of anti -Russian sanctions cut off all the supply of the necessary components from the countries of the European Union. Restrictions on this structure were introduced by the United Kingdom, the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Ukraine.

In addition, the information obtained by informnapalm from the hacking team shows that the documents concern the state contracts of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, namely the contract for the supply of the Granat-4 UAV complex. In a response received from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Udmurt Republic for the statement of LLC "NGO Izhevsky unmanned systems", states that the contract is impossible to fulfill the contract due to sanctions restrictions.

This situation can lead to changes in conditions or termination of the contract, researchers say.

In their material, reconnaissance notes that sanctions against the supply of components and dual-use goods slow down the work of the Russian military-industrial complex and hinder the rapid increase in the supply of weapons and advanced technologies for the Russian army, but Russia is looking for new ways of bypassing sanctions that requires constant monitoring restrictions from the US, EU and other countries.

Sanctions give Ukraine and the EU time to increase their forces to reflect Russian aggression, but in themselves do not satisfy the urgent need for the supply of weapons and equipment for the Ukrainian army. Ukraine should adapt legislation to increase the capabilities of drones for the Ukrainian army and simplify the purchase of components.

Grenat-4 UAV complex is intended for conducting an air photo intelligence of the enemy objects in order to detect cellular communication stations, monitoring the surface of the Earth, various objects, highways, living power, equipment in a real time close to real. The useful load will include a digital camera, a radio reconnaissance module. The start -up method is from catapult. The complex includes unmanned aerial vehicles "Rubezh-20" with a runway up to 30 kg of development of the company.
