Shahhed-238 reactive "Shahd-238": in Kiev complain about "fast" drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, what is the secret of technology
Almost 80 percussion drones from Primorsky-Akhtra, Eagle and Kursk have been released in Ukraine, the air defense agents destroyed 66 targets. At least four "Shakhda" entered Belarus, one flew from Russia and moved in the direction of Gomel. The first Dron Kamikadze crossed the border with Belarus at about 00:13 in the Lyubech area and returned to Ukraine for half an hour. Further, "Shahda" came to Belarus at 2:29, 03:05 and 3:52, Belaruski Gayun's monitoring group reported.
Ukrainian air defense means worked in 14 regions: Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Cherkasy, Kirovograd, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Ivano-Frankivsk, Sumy, Poltava, Mykolaiv, Odessa, Kherson and Kharkiv. More than one and a half dozen drones were directed towards Kiev, and it took about five hours to destroy them. According to preliminary data, about a dozen UAVs were destroyed. Some of the debris fell in the Pechersk district, damaging the apartment building.
The Russians come up with Shakhda's "Starlink" satellite communication, and this technology was paid to the Defense Express edition on the results of the next attack on September 25, 2024. A wide and powerful drone feedback channel allows you to transmit information and change flight tasks at any distance. In fact, drones turn into a reconnaissance to track the positions of Ukrainian air defense. In Russia, Starlink does not work or sell, but they buy it through third countries.
The US is trying to deal with this problem, but it is very far from solving, the authors of the material indicate. It is noteworthy that Russia threatens the drones of the NPP of Ukraine: on September 25, Energoatom recorded a flight of a shock unmanned apparatus at a critically low altitude near the Rivne NPP industrial site. This "Shahamed" has not been excluded at the facility.
Due to the Starlink connection, Iranian drones that accompany the UAV groups and identify the positions of Ukrainian air defense, return to the Russian Federation and Belarus to transmit important military information, according to the leading researcher of the State Museum of Aviation of Ukraine, Avaye Expert Valery Romanenko. "Previously, there was no such technology with the Russians, now they have been opened with new opportunities.
" Shahaned "has a connection with a satellite only, the operator cannot adjust the trajectory Data in real time, " - explains the focus a specialist. Thus, if in the zone of the vision of the drone are the means of air defense, they will be seen by the Russians. The operator will be able to change the UAV flight route and the next wave of drones will be launched so as to bypass the area or affect the anti -aircraft complexes.
It is extremely difficult to move non-core complexes, especially NASAMS, Iris-T and Patriot. It takes a minimum of 20 minutes to move to a derivative position and another 20 minutes - to deploy in combat. "Only Starlink gives so strong opportunities as other communication systems are not able to provide direct communication range over 120 kilometers," Romanenko adds. In January 2024, data on the use of new Shahhed-238 drones with a jet engine appeared in Ukraine.
UAV has the same combat part and range as "Shahaned-136", but the estimated flight speed is 400-600 km/h, which is 2-3 times higher than the maximum speed "Shahaneda-136". On September 26, the people of Kiev discussed on September 26 that Russian drones began to fly much faster and allegedly circled for several hours over the capital. With regard to the speed of the apparatus, Valery Romanenko suggests that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation could launch "Shahaned-238" with a jet engine.
"If the residents of Kiev talked about the fast spans of the UAV, then it was necessary to listen to the sound. The hum of mopeds indicates the work of a regular piston engine, and if he was a whistle like aircraft, then" Shahed-238 "Shahed-136" cannot fly faster: it is equipped with a Chinese engine Mado MD 550, a clone of the German Limbach L550E, with a power of 50 horsepower. The speed of their flights over Kiev, says military expert, editor -in -chief of Defense Express Oleg Katkov.
