Found "Achilles' Heat": how Ukrainian air defense learned to knock Russian Su-34

On February 29, the Ukrainian army shot down 3 Russian Su-34 aircraft in Avdiiv and Mariupol. It is unknown what weapons are used by the military, but it is very effective. The focus talked with an aviation expert and deputy director of one of the Ukrainian companies, which develops the complexes of the IEC Anatoly Khrapchynsky to find out what are the vulnerable places in hostile aircraft. It stops at two important points: then the expert says that the Russian aircraft has a complex "Favors".

It should make the plane invisible to the SCR. "I am as a specialist with the RB understand that something is working immediately because he does not cope. This remedy should create certain obstacles for those missiles flying towards the plane. He must create obstacles directly to radar systems. Systems should detect anti -aircraft missiles. Containers under the wings are placed that allow you to see rockets around them, " - explains Khrapchyn focus. For Ukraine, a space for action has been created.

Su-34 fly in the immediate vicinity of the air defense zone, and the system of EW, which must protect and identify threats, works imperfectly. The radio electronic complex "Favors" consists of several systems: on the Su-34 aircraft installed complex "Favors-10B", and in the SU-34C "Fairy". During the full -scale war, Ukraine has repeatedly knocked down Russian planes. In the fall of 2022, an intact part of the Hybina-U Lines was found in the Kharkiv region of the Kharkiv region.

The War Zone wrote that the capture of the complex has great potential for researching the sample. The publication also suggested that with so many whipped boards over Ukraine, Kiev could almost certainly obtain samples of other complexes of the IU. In addition, according to Anatoly Khrapchynsky, "flaws" is a Soviet complex that the Russians have finalized a little.

"It can be assumed that Ukraine has found a" Achilles' heel ", whereby it copes with them, but here we need to recognize the high qualification of our military, which allowed them to find such a way. But it is very sensitive information. In more detail we are probably, apparently. We learn about everything after the war. However, this is a confirmation of the thesis that I constantly repeat: the Russian Reb is overestimated, " - continues the specialist.

During the flight, the aircraft must create a certain electromagnetic field that affects everything that flies towards the aircraft and makes it impossible to hit it. There are also obstacles that are directed to the ground RLS of air defense complexes. "Faldy" should protect not only the aircraft itself, but also the group in which it can fly.

When the Air Defense Complex already produces an anti -aircraft missile, the launch of infrared traps and a missile maneuver is the last border, the Aviation Expert explained the focus. Su-34 is not very designed for such sharp maneuvers, so it usually dumps all weapons to get away from the threat and maneuver. In addition to the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, Ukraine also destroyed the enemy A-50 reconnaissance aircraft, which scanned the territory within hundreds of hundred kilometers.

A-50U, which was knocked down over the Azov Sea, helped the occupiers to identify Ukrainian air defense products, radar stations and allowed to prepare for Ukraine's missile shelling. "To begin with the A-50 allowed to detect these air defense means that could be directly close to the front line at a distance of one that could destroy those Su-34.

RLS A-50 allowed to do intelligence and create a certain card on which was visible to the relocation or location of radar systems or even individual launchers, if they stand separately, "-said Khrapchynsky about how the A-50 loss affects the tactical aviation of the Russian Federation. Therefore, the A-50 could warn fighters that the conditional square could not work, because there are such SCRs that can affect the target at such a distance.

The loss of the aircraft with such characteristics will affect the PCS of the Russian Federation in the future, if the occupiers do not start the A-50 remaining in the order. Separately, the expert noted that the loss of crew is a significant blow to the enemy. Air Force Command Speaker Yuri Ignat on the air of a telecommunication stressed that the Russian Federation has not been used A-50 for four days.
