The Russians hit Kharkiv with a new drone: what is the danger of hostile "Church" (photo)

And in April last year it was about the production of more than 4 thousand units of modification "Chernik-2" with a range up to 100 km. Chernika-1 Dron-Kamikadze is a "Flying Wing" drone. It is made of foam, has a maximum range of up to 80 km, cruising speed of 75 km/h, the maximum flight height up to 1. 5 km. Running occurs from catapult or out of hand. The drone carries a combat part weighing 0. 7 kg (probably fragile-fugitive type) and is mainly used against vehicles and infantry.

As for the modification "Church-2", it is more dangerous: the combat part weighing up to 3. 5 kg is intended for the defeat of armor and heavy equipment. The drone has a function of completing the target, which can attack even in the conditions of suppression of the control signal. Also "Church-2" is equipped with a function of autopilot, which allows the operator to control only at the final field.

Experts compare "Church" with another Russian drone "Prayer", which is also made using simple materials and is quite cheap. However, it is quite strange that the first blow to Kharkiv using this drone was only caused: certain areas of Kharkiv are located just 25 km from the border from the Russian Federation. It is possible to counteract such drones with the help of anti-aircraft FPV-punks, and Ukrainian fighters have already reported the beat of three units of "Church-2".

It is also quite effective to use the tools of HR - although "chirniki" and equipped with functions of complement and autopilot, without communication they are still unable to perform tasks. Earlier, Focus reported that the Russian military was struck by Kharkov with the latest drone Kamikadze. As a result of that attack, several cars in the garage cooperative were damaged in the city. Meanwhile, in the territory of Russia itself, in the city of Izhevsk, unknown drones attacked the dome plant.
