Russia improves its percussion drones, but Ukraine is not defenseless - Newsweek

According to journalists, the Russian Federation is already creating UAV from carbon fiber. Such drones can absorb radar signals, which complicates the work of the air defense forces. Russia is working hard to update its drone park. She wants to catch up with Ukraine, which has already won leadership in the opposition of drones. Newsweek writes about it. According to journalists, the Kremlin is preparing for winter, and therefore tries to improve cheap but effective UAVs.

The researcher of the Faculty of Military Studies of the Royal College of London Maria Myron said that Russia is lagging behind in the production of drones, but gradually catches up with Ukraine. The publication noted that a few days ago a new, dark drone made of carbon fiber was shot down in Ukraine. Such UAVs can absorb radar signals, which complicates the work of the air defense forces. According to analysts, this modification makes the drone more closely. But there are other risks.

For example, as the expert Steve Wright said, carbon fiber can reduce the weight of the device, so he will have the opportunity to carry more explosives. Military expert David Gambling told reporters that they could also be improved to make them difficult to make them harder. "We know that Russia seeks to produce them (drones - ed. ) On place, not import from Iran, and some signs of replacing parts with components of Russian production have already emerged," he said. - he said.

The expert stated that a sufficient number of anti -aircraft guns of Gepard and large -caliber machine guns can protect objects that are attacked by shock drones. This is what Ukraine does. "The drone engine can be quieter and the drone may have a darker color, but it is essentially the same type of drone, it can still be identified and eventually knocked down," Gambling said.
