They fly and bomb: in the Russian Federation complain of flocks of drones of the Armed Forces that have a "queen" - media (video)
The journalists of the portal drew attention to the video of Rosmi "Izvestia", which showed Russian from the unit of Bars. The man told how he saw a flock of Ukrainian FPV-oules that flew to Russian positions. Above the small drones was laid by a larger device he called "uterus" (or "queen" in English). "They send a" wing "with a relaying signal. Under it send a pack of 10 FPV-pings. The uterus flies above [and works] in a narrow detection range.
It conducts a pack, then a flock falls into positions and start working" The Russian explained. Roszma also explained in the report that the relay enables FPV-Drome to save charge. For example, at some point they can land and wait for the opportunity. The relay, meanwhile, finds goals and then submits a command for attack. "When a large maternal drone notices targets, Kamikadze takes off, sometimes a few meters away from the target, and attack," the Russian opinion was quoted on Newsweek.
The Newsweek portal noted that they wrote a letter from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to obtain a confirmation of similar tactics of the Armed Forces: they did not receive answers. It should be noted that the focus previously talked about the Russian drone "House", which performs the functions of a repeater. In particular, the device repeats (relays) the signal from the operator, which makes a smaller drone a greater distance to the target.
The Armed Forces fighters indicated that the use of such UAVs is still a single one. Meanwhile, in November 2022, an article on the American invention was published - the Blacktalon 2 system, which is able to silence signals on a large area. The operator, working on this system, can choose certain frequencies at which enemy drones work and land them safely.
