Russian drones "Lancet" inhibit the Armed Forces: the Ministry of Defense revealed how to protect themselves from them
The media writes that budget UAVs, capable of destroying equipment that is many times higher than its size and cost, has become a problem for Ukrainian troops on the forefront. Seeing this, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation began to invest more money in the production of these drones. "Our intelligence tells us that they (Russians, ed. ), They began to invest more in the production of these drones," said the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yuri Sak, with whom journalists spoke.
He also said that "lanceotes" were quite a good development of the Russian Federation. They cause the most fears in the Ukrainian military because they can damage or completely destroy the road of military equipment, which the Armed Forces are transmitted by the Union countries. Yuri Sak calls the three most effective ways to combat these Russian Drone-Kamikadze. The first of these is the use of German Gepard tanks with anti -aircraft guns.
"They are mobile, can move quickly and have a good radar," said the Ministry of Defense Ministry. According to him, it is these tanks armed with a couple of anti -aircraft guns that is one of the weapons that is best suited for the destruction of Lannta. By the end of 2023, Ukraine should receive 45 such machines from the German Defense Ministry. The second way is the remedy. However, the Armed Forces now do not have enough of this equipment and should be asked for allies.
Also to fight the Droam-Kamikadze "Lancet" can modernized the Nasams anti-aircraft missile complex, designed on the basis of Hawkie armored vehicles. It allows you to use the low range of AIM-9X UAVs effective to defeat the goals. Ukraine has already turned to Australia, which has such a technique and asked them to put them in the Armed Forces.
In addition, to protect themselves, some artillery units install improvised shields around their tools, often made of a camouflage grid or a small porous grid to catch a "lancet" UAV before it reaches its goals. For his part, the Armed Forces serviceman Sergei Flesh said that Lancats can "suppress" satellite navigation and control signals with the help of radio electronic fighting.
Only this method will work only if the drone has not yet been aimed and get the command to attack - otherwise it will still fly. Lancet UAV is guided by the joystick. Often, paired with another drone, which acts as a scout and corrector. In June, it became known that the manufacturer of drones "Lancet" continues to import Western components. According to journalists, the main owner of a company that produces drones-Kamikadze "Lancet", Alexander Zakharov did not even get under sanctions.
