The Ukrainian Front was filled with military equipment models: why increased demand for false rescue (photo)
Many cities of Ukraine build models of rocket installations and artillery installations, designed to force Russia to spend ammunition on the destruction of dummy goals. They seek to make models as "realistic and cheap" as possible. Everything that lies in the shop is used: foam blocks, old tires, wooden scrap, leaf metal and plastic pipes.
In his new interview, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky acknowledged that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, who are fighting in eastern Ukraine, have six times more ammunition than defense forces. He also said that Ukrainian troops were learning to adapt and fight with limited ammunition and soldiers, but another 500,000 soldiers were reduced.
For example, the team of 32-year-old Michael Roman, who previously lived in Vynohradov, produces models of weapons from plywood, metal and plastic gutter. For the last few months, they have been overtaken. Over the past year, they have created more than 200 layouts of anti-tank managed missile launches "Stugna" and two howy artillery guns D-20, which have been deployed throughout the front line of Ukraine.
The development of the first imitation of the rocket plant lasted two months and cost about 3000-4000 UAH (£ 60-80). Since then, Roman has set up the production process and reduced the price to 1000 UAH - which is a small part of the estimated cost of the Russian artillery projectile at £ 790. Russians "peck" baits "and spend on their destruction costly ammunition. The success of Mr. Roman's team is measured by the number of destroyed bait.
" When they destroy them, I have a desire to build more, "he said. They also have practical benefits, helping to guide "When Russian soldiers destroy these models, our military will be able to see their positions and attack," he said. The surge of production of layouts in Ukraine occurred against the background of reports of a sharp shortage of shells on the front line. see his position. We need a real weapon because we can win war only with real weapons, "he said.
In recent weeks, the Roman's team has received an order for the development of more complex models, in particular, the layout of the Patriot missile system. The real thing costs about $ 1 billion, plus more About $ 1 billion for software and rockets. Fake will cost about $ 10,000, and the Russian Iskander rocket that can be used to destroy it costs $ 3 million. "A fake patriot will be placed at a great distance from the front line To only "Iskander" saw him and could destroy it, "Roman said.
He also creates a fake D-20 howitzer, equipped with tractor wheels to cope with swampy advanced terrain. In addition Playing the white plates on which Kiev relied on to connect to the Internet to wage the war for drones against the Black Sea Fleet of Russia. In the war in Ukraine, military deception has reached new heights against the backdrop of inflatable tanks, Himars wooden tanks. During the last year, Mr.
Roman's development has given rise to a kind of fake arms race, during which the better the Russian troops revealed his copies, the more advanced his development became. "We win this race. Because they have a lot of rockets and they use them. They don't care where to shoot them, so we are exhausting the enemy," Roman said. Recall that the Armed Forces in Zaporozhye lured the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation into the trap of tanks.
