The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use shock drones-designers "Alesha": the engineer told what it is dangerous

"Alyosha" is a drone of a copter type with a frame printed on a 3D printer, an artificial intelligence system for targeting. But its main feature is the modular construction. According to the developers, it allows you to quickly replace the camera from daytime to night, there is a suitable place in the front of the UAV. Replacing the tail of the copter can change the control frequencies.

At any time to Alyosha, you can attach a tank with a fiber, providing a ligament that is invulnerable to the means of EWS-for this purpose special openings are provided in the housing. There are also plastic modules for fastening ammunition. Alaska states that he produces up to 2400 such drones per month, and by the end of the year plans to increase the rate of 18,000 units. Russian troops have been using "Alesh" for half a year.

The owner of the workshop from Kharkiv region, Yuri Abdula, received from the military damaged the trophy drone "Alesha" and examined it. The sample is lacking in cameras and several parts of plastic, which are probably lost when falling, but the whole UAV should weigh about 900 grams. The housing has the shape of a hollow square profile, to which rays with stiffening ribs are attached to the bolts.

At the top is a flight controller Hakrcf 405V2, a battery is placed inside the housing, and the wires are drawn to the motors outside the housing, for them plastic hooks are provided. Outside, there is a hole to access the USB Type-C connector. It is worth paying attention to the tail with antenna, which involves control at a frequency of 185 MHz. To do this, Alaska made 38. 5 cm long wires on both sides.

The engineer of the Ukrainian enterprise "Sokilskay", which produces FPV-Kamikadze "Wall-200", anonymously commented on the focus that it is a good concept when the fighter on the front has the opportunity to quickly replace modules. For example, the group goes to a position, having 50 drones and 100 sets of different video transmitters, antennas, controls of the control system. The operator triggers a drone to defeat the goal, understands that the frequency of control is suppressing the Qu.

Having lost UAV, he reports to his department and asks to change the communication channel. "This way, you can promptly change radio modules in order to get overrun from the HR," the expert added. You can also bring extra cameras.

It may happen that the unit did not have time to complete the task and leave the position until it is dark, and it remains to work at night - with a modular design it is possible to replace the daily camera for a night, which is much more expensive, directly in the field. "They are quickly without the participation of engineers from engineers without a soldering iron, without any additional tools will be able to switch to another module, and this is a fairly promising story," the engineer added.

If the fighters have modules for stabilization for hanging in the air, then the drone can quickly be converted into a signal repellent, which increases the range of shock copter. By removing the relay antennation, you can touch the ammunition discharge system and bombing targets many times with one FPV-aternal, returning for new shells and replacing the batteries. Usually, for this variability, the combat group needs to have several types of drones collected for different tasks.

With a set of modules, the soldiers need to carry a lower load on the position and quickly adapt to the conditions. Having lost one drone, you can quickly collect the other in the presence of the desired parts. "I think it is worth working in this direction, because it gives great flexibility, the ability to quickly change the characteristics of the drone for the appropriate tasks. Because working with drones is different.

For example, if it is a reflection The results of the lesion, " - commented the interlocutor. There are modular structures and a significant drawback - the more the device has different parts that connect to each other, the greater the likelihood of problems. So on the way, some contact can disconnect vibration and stop operating a camera or communication. Now manufacturers usually dig up the components of the drone with each other, which is much more reliable.
