"Violation of all laws of physics": experts dismantled the Russian Reb "Volnores" for tanks
Danielr used, in particular, photos of a disassembled device from a Ukrainian serviceman and a specialist in HRS Sergei Beskresnov with a flash drive, which he published in his Telegram channel. "Volnore" has antennas in the form of "mushrooms", which are installed on the top of the tanks. The results of the disassembly are surprised. The upper lid is made of very thin painted plastic. It is kept by screws, screwed into fragile plastic racks: so make a cheap spark.
The antenna is directly under the plastic lid. The upper section is mounted on nylon (plastic) supports that are too weak for use on the tank. The foam sealant prevents scattering - at least for a while. On the lower side of the antenna it is seen that only 3 nylon screws were used to attach the upper section. Instead of proper seals, a large amount of sealant was used. Two metal plates form an electronics body. They are attached together with the help of 6 bolts and do not have a special seal.
Only sealant is used. For a device that may be underwater, it may be insufficient. The lower plate contains a RF module, a power source (DC-DC converter) and a connector. The line in centimeters shows that the power supply and the radio frequency module are very small. A lot of sealant/ RF module is used is 30 watts, which seems to be a low project. There are a lot of them to choose from Aliexpress, where they are sold for several hundred dollars.
The power source (DC-DC converter) is consumer, very small and probably costs about $ 10. A much better power in the military device could be expected. "In general, the quality of the assembly is terrible," the expert writes. "Please note that these devices are reported to be sold for about $ 4,000, but probably their manufacture will be closer to $ 500. " According to the project, each of these antennas covers only a narrow frequency range.
Each vehicle will need several such devices to protect against enemy Kamikadze drones. As a result, the expert says that the quality of the Russian electronic wrestling system "Volnorez" is terrible. Sergiy Beskresnov shares the opinion of a Canadian expert: "Enjoy. Unpacking" Volnoreza ". Real Russian" War ". Breakthrough of the exhibition of the Russian Army 2023. Guys I am your enemy, but I am even ashamed of this… :-) Who you are 4 thousand dollars.
were selling? " The Russians themselves are not delighted with the device. Here's what Blogger Ramzai says in his Telegram channel: "Unfortunately, we confirm! The disassembly of several burned-out" Volnores "has led to discoveries that experts were very surprised. " He also talks about the poor quality of the device, comparing it with garage products, and frequent cases of failure.
It noted an unsuccessful design when the transistor module is in a sealed container over the cooling radiator - poor heat dissipation causes the electronics to burn. According to the Russian blogger, it is in fact "violation of all laws of physics. " He also pointed to the gaps in the surface and the clearly inflated cost. After that, the parsing becomes clear why some Russian military hanging vehicles by many of these EWS devices.
