Russia can secretly collect battle drones in Crimea, but not everything is so easy - experts
He believes that professional research and development centers that are not available in the annexed peninsula are required to develop high intellectual devices, such as drones. Therefore, according to the expert, it can only be on handicraft production of drones. "If we talk about highly intellectual devices (drones-ed. ), Professional R&D centers are really needed. Given enterprises or a group of people.
But in my opinion, in this particular case, the statement of the Crimean occupying power relate to" garage production ". when "patriotic groups of people" can organize and collect FPV drones, "said Fevzi Ametov. He added that such drones can be collected from Chinese components and produced anywhere. Therefore, the expert does not believe in the possibility of high -tech drones in Crimea, since there is no necessary infrastructure.
However, the co-founder of DRONUA believes that such production is potentially possible in the Moscow region and St. Petersburg, where clusters are historically laid. However, there is another opinion in the issue of drone -building in Crimea. During the preparation of the material, the journalists of "Crimea. Realia" on the rights of anonymity spoke with an expert among Ukrainian scientists and designers of technology, who expressed the opposite Feuzi Ametov's opinion.
The analyst pointed to the possibility of receiving military drones in Crimea by completing civilian FPV apparatus and noted that civilian drones could be changed and used for military purposes. This is possible because their parts can be used to install explosive devices or reset systems.
"Creating in Crimea enterprises or organizations for the preparation of civilian drones is a disguised attempt to produce military drones and send such homemade to the front, since the front is located in the immediate vicinity ", - the expert said.
In addition to the production of unmanned aerial vehicles on a particular scale, the preparation of drone operators has recently been intensified in Crimea, which can indirectly indicate hidden mobilization in the territory of the annexed of the Peninsula. " Of course, it is mobilization. If the authorities involve centers of training in this activity, then in any case there is young people to form a certain basis.
I am sure that they happen and in them - they attract young people in order to develop appropriate skills, " - said in a comment media Fevzi Ametov. According to him, people go to these schools both on their own initiative and aware of the opportunity conscription. But the use of prepared UAV pilots to meet the Crimea is doubtful of the media interlocutor.
He noted that there was no infrastructure for civilian use of drones in occupied Crimea, and in the conditions of war and closed airspace insice It will spend money on new technologies for civilian use. The expert of the Ukrainian scientists and designers of equipment, who wished to remain unknown, is also agreed with the practitioner of Fevzi Ametov. to go to fight at the front right away. I assume that such training is not quite voluntary.
Moreover, they can be cooked as "drone operators", and in fact will be used as "cannon meat", - the expert said. We will remind, in early October 2023 it became known that the occupiers want to launch a center for the creation of drones in Sevastopol. According to experts, such a decision was facilitated by one of the most important reasons: because of a number of sanctions of the Russian Federation, accessories necessary for the production of drones.
