Shakhda vs Dipestraki: As Ukraine and Russia will beat the drones in 2025
Russia produces a lot of shock drones "Shahaned", which it calls "geraniums" with the help of Iran, China and the DPRK, but Ukraine is not far behind. And if there is actually only one manufacturer in the Russian Federation, then Ukrainians have several different models, and all of them have regulated the Ministry of Defense. "We have a very healthy atmosphere among these manufacturers - they work not as competitors, but as companions," the expert says.
According to Sergiy, the so -called "Dipestraki" (long -range blows) will be actively produced and used in the war and in 2025. However, Ukraine and Russia are protecting their rear by means of radio electronic wrestling, which prevent drones from hitting for purposes, which is why Ukrainian UAVs are increasingly coming to Moscow and Moscow. "So now we need to think about technologies that will allow drones to navigate and find goals without navigation systems.
There are alternative solutions for navigation," says Sergei Beskrestnov. Russia has scared many thermobaric charges on Shahaned, but the occupiers are rarely used. If they were effective against all purposes, the specialist said, they would be launched constantly. The optimal for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation remains a standard fugas-flame charge, dangerous for both infrastructure and buildings. In the future, Shakhda can get the best navigation systems.
Now in Alabuz (Republic of Tatarstan) there is a Research Center, where engineers and students put additional equipment on drones, such as cameras, modems, Starlink terminals. Among other things, the Russians try to manage Shahaneda in flight, using Ukrainian mobile systems, but they are disturbed by Ukrainian specialists. In 2025, it is worth an increase in bait drones, such as Gerberas and Parodies, which are designed to distract from Ukraine's Air Defense.
These are cheap and primitive drones without the combat part and protection against the HR, made of plywood and foam. The Russian Federation has significantly scale their production, although the shock "Shahaned" produces not much more. "In the Russian Federation, they are still produced by 500-700 pieces. The problem is that the Ukrainian military cannot distinguish these baits from the real "shahas" neither by sound nor in appearance.
