Shakhada Record: As the September Drones of the Russian Federation began and what did the air defense of Ukraine respond to it

Military observer Oleksandr Kovalenko states the record use of Shahaneda in the first half of September. However, the percentage of their defeat in the Ukrainian air defense reached unprecedented values ​​. . . The use of Shahd-131/136 ("Herbera"), FPV-Dules and BB "Lancet" for two weeks of September . . .

For two weeks of September 2024, Russian occupiers used 555 Dronov-Kamikadze Shahd-131/136 ("Herbera"), of which only 21 reached the target, that is, 96% of the means of defeat of this type were shot. Since the beginning of the month, the use of Shahd - 131/136 has been maintained. Let me remind you that the average application of ShahED-131/136 has long been stored in the range of 350-400 drones-Kamikadze for several months, until August.

In August, the occupiers, in the second half of the month, on the eve of Independence Day of Ukraine, increased the raids of Shahd-131/136 ("Gerber") and after the result set an absolute record for the entire period of full-scale invasion-789. But, on the other hand, it should be understood that Among these raids are the drones of "Herbera", cheaper and designed to distract the attention of air defense, and therefore in the statistics there are not only drones-Kamikadze, but also drones-bait.

What proportions? I have no answers to this question. The use of FPV-auctions during the second week of September, Russian invaders used more than 6,000 FPV-auctions, or, on average, more than 400 a day. In addition, it was in September that the absolute record of use of FPV-icons was set-more than 700 per day. It is possible that in September the absolute record of application of FPV-the other a month-more than 12 thousand can be set.

Let me remind you that in July, the FPV-Aye Record was set-more than 11,000! BB "Lancet" Baraning Amartip "Lancet" in two weeks of September did not show records and maintained the average application per day within 10 units. And . . . even less. Conclusions for two weeks of September showed extremely high intensity of use of Shahd-131/136, which hints at the next monthly record.

But so far, it is early to draw conclusions ahead of another two weeks, which can be radically different in intensity of use of these means of damage. During the same period, the increase in the use of FPV-ouons, which could be caused by both the expansion of the application area (Kursk region) and the activation of RVV in a number of locations of the database zone in Ukraine. BB "Lancet" - the use of these means of damage has not undergone significant changes and persists within up to 10 units.
