‘It is a war of drones now’: the ever-evolving tech dominating the frontline in Ukraine | Ukraine
“IDa Da Vinci Wolves ”Deputy Commander Afer, who explains how one of the best known battalions in Ukraine should defend against Russian attacks.
The less caps left, the survivors try to collect up to 10 groups of 10 and attack Ukrainian positions. Cost – “We killed 11 in the last 24 hours, AF says AFER – But the attacks that may have taken place once or twice a day before. For the Da Vinci commander, it is understood that the Russians are horrified by their officers, so they follow the suicide orders.
Discovery drones, watching a burned tree line to the west of Pokrovsk; The images come to Da Vinci’s command center at one end of the 130 -meter -long underground shelter. “Even a small break in watching is very dangerous, AF says Afer and the team works at any time of the day. The shelter, built in four or five weeks, contains more than one room, including a barracks for sleep. Another is an army confusion with child drawings, family reminders. The menu of the week is listed on the wall.
Three and a half years of the Ukrainian War, Donald Trump’s August Peace attempt did not make any progress. In the meantime, conflict develops. Dately, using a built -in camera, remotely piloted FPV (first person view) drones explains that the development of the drones– The so-called killing zone now extends to the back of the front of the front of the front of a $ 500-flying drone to strike up to 60Mph. AFER, “All Logistics [food, ammunition and medical supplies] We do either with the help of pedestrian or earth drones ”.
Moreover, in a rural Dacha, which is now used by Da Vinci’s soldiers, various ground drones are parked. The idea quickly went from the concept to reality. Remote controlled machine guns and flat bed robot tools. One, 12,000 dollars of termThere are traces of the coarse land and can carry 300kg over 12 miles at a high speed of 7 miles per hour.
Black drones also save lives. “We emptied a wounded man with two broken legs last night and a wounded man with a hole on his chest,” he continues. The whole process lasted “almost 20 hours ve and included the victim of two soldiers who lifted more than a miles for a safe land aircraft. The soldier survived.
While Da Vinci states that his position was stable, infinite Russian infiltration attempts were effective in revealing that the line was finely kept or badly coordinated between neighboring units. Last month, Russian troops, in the north of Pokrovsk near Dobropilla, penetrated the lines of Ukraine up to 12 miles-a dangerous moment in a dangerous moment, in front of Trump’s summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
At first it was said to have passed a few dozens, but the last installment looks much larger. Ukrainian military sources estimated that 2,000 Russians live and that 1,100 infiltrator was killed in a fight led by the 14th Cchervona Kalyna Brigade of Ukraine’s new Azov Corps – a rare disruption for a slow but unrealized Russian progress.
That evening at another Dacha While the people used by Da Vinci stand in the garden, moths target bulbs. Inside, an expert drone Jammer sits in a game chair, which is arranged in a fanda and supported by some complex carpentry.
Oleksandr, a team leader who is very sensitive for the photo, but the call sign Shoni, tells Jammer’s mission. Both sides can cut each other’s feeding from FPV drones, and three screens are dedicated to capturing images that can help find them. Once the discovery is discovered, the operator’s task is to find the radio frequency used by the dron and to make it immobilized with the concealed jams on the floor (that is, fiber optic drones that use a fixed cable up to 12 miles instead of radio connection).
“We are stuck around 70%, Shoni says Shoni, but accepts that the Russians have achieved a similar success rate. In their sectors, 30 to 35 enemies in this day means drone. From time to time, the ratio is higher. “We closed the sky for last month. We caught the pilots by saying that they could not fly on the radio, but the Russian artillery has changed after destroying the jaming equipment on the ground. War, Shoni observes, EBBS and flows: “Now there is a drone war and a shield and a sword. We are shield.”
A single drone pilot can operate 20 tasks in 24 hours, and the Sean flys FPVs for Da Vinci, hidden a few miles behind the front of the front, in a crew for two or three people for a few days. The main target is infantry because the Russians are in attack. Sean clearly accepts that he had murmur killed at least three Russian troops ında in the deadly struggle between the earth and the air. Does it make it easier to kill the enemy from afar? “How can we say, we just know that, Dubok says Dubok, another FPV pilot sitting with Sean.
Other Anti-Drone defenses are more sophisticated. The third brigade of Ukraine has the northern Kharkiv sector in the east of the Oskil River, but there are longer -range defense positions in the west. Inside, a team member follows a radar, mostly looking for symptoms of the Russian Super Truck, Orlan and Zala discovery aircraft. If they see a target, two shots on mature fields with sunflowers to start a preventive preventive.
The highest speed of the Arbalet is 110 miles per hour, the battery life is 40 minutes briefly. Using a sensitive hobby controller, it is blown by a pilot hidden in the shelter via its camera. The aim is to explode the grenade and make it close enough to destroy the Russian dron. Buhan, one of the pilots, is easier to learn how to fly if you don’t fly a FPV drone, Bu says Buhan.
It is an unusual wet and cloudy August day, which means a rare break from drone activity, as the Russians will not fly in challenging conditions. The crew does not want to start Arbaliet if they lose, so there’s time to talk. Buhan says he was a trade manager before the war and that Daos was working in investments. “If it wasn’t for the war, I would have a completely different life, Da Daos continues,“ But we all have to gather to fight to be free. ”
So do the pilots feel motivated to continue to fight when they have no end? The two men look at my direction and shake their heads with a resolution that is not expressed in words.
