The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces were killed by a rare Russian drone "Forpost" for $ 6 million: what is threatening Ukrainians

Multifunctional UAVs conduct intelligence, indicate goals and strikes with rockets. Last day, December 21, the Ukrainian military knocked down three Russian Fitpost and Lanceth-3 drones. The press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on Facebook. According to the Armed Forces, the cost of one drone "Forpost", which is also called "Inochod" is almost $ 6 million.

This is the Russian version of the Israeli drone Searcher MK II, which has been collecting the Ural Civil Aviation Plant since 2012 in the city of Ekaterinburg according to the official license. Initially, the Russians produced only the intelligence models "Forpost-r", and then launched the production of the intelligence and shoe version of "Forpost-RU", the latter was first shown in 2021.

The designers armed with two small rockets capable of destroying single land targets such as combat equipment and air defense complexes. As they wrote, in 2019, engineers at the plant in Yekaterinburg upgraded the drone and installed more powerful Russian UDD-85 engines. The speed has increased slightly compared to Searcher MK II on the basis of German Limbach L550, but with it the mass increased, which made the maximum flight height by 1 km.

In addition, the Russians have installed a protected communication system, increasing the range. The Russians claim that the Armed Forces use "outpost" to find equipment and positions of the Armed Forces. After detecting the goals of the UAV, it can illuminate with a laser for artillery or launch rockets yourself. The drone is equipped with a powerful chamber and thermal imaging, which notice objects from 8 km.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use drones-Kamikadze "Lancet-3" for the task of massive blows in Ukraine. The invaders are paired with intelligence "Orlan-10" to destroy the AFU anti-aircraft missile complexes, forming a break in air air defense system for aircraft or missiles. Bading ammunition with X-shaped wings is released by Zala Aero from the Kalashnikov concern, the model was first introduced in 2019. Experts suggest that drones are harvested mainly from Chinese components.
