"We are gradually approaching the moment the Russians will be able to launch more than 1000 Shahhed drones for a day," said Maria Berlin's Aerial Intelligence Center. The number of ammunition released and their diversity increases. At the same time, drones and rockets move more complex routes and oversature the opportunities of Ukrainian air defense. By 2024, a multi -level system of mobile groups with anti -aircraft guns, SAC batteries, helicopters and fighters, and HRS products was effective.
Last year, the defenders of the sky knocked or intercepted more than 90% of Shahaned, today this figure is falling to 30%. "The trend is bad," said the Deputy Commander of the State Department, which consists of 23 mobile groups, "Yakut. " He explained that Shahledi has been modernized since they first appeared - from the fall of 2022. "From January, their devices fly at a height of 2000 to 3000 meters instead of 200 meters. We can no longer impress them from our guns.
When they dive at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, it is very difficult to get into them," the officer said. UAVs, which previously supplied from Iran, were now put on mass production in the Russian Kazan. They carry a charge weighing 90 kilograms and different types of explosives-fragmentation, sub-proofas (cassette), ignition or thermobaric (volumetric-detoning) ammunition. Shakhi's missiles can be too expensive and critical deficiency is observed.
One of the potential solutions is the drone-taran, managed by AI, which costs 20-50 times cheaper than the target. "The Russians also introduce innovations and have more resources. They have just released into our zone five samples of a new type of missile called" Bandrol "," said the commander of the anti-aircraft missile battery Artem. The officer explained that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carefully examine the results of each attack and seek holes in Ukrainian defense.
They resort to more and more trajectories, programming drones and winged rockets. "Somewhere they are scattered in the sky and then regrouped again. They also use many physical and electronic baits. The idea is to exhaust our ammunition and saturate our capabilities," Artem emphasized. Artem unit is armed with NASAMS and C-300 SCRs, as well as unfolding numerous lures on Earth to deceive the invaders.
According to the commander, to respond to the growing challenge, Ukraine requires "much larger long-range systems", including Patriot, Iris-T and SAMP/T. "We have nothing right now. Today we have nothing to protect the south of Ukraine from ballistic missiles," the officer said. The sources reported that Ukraine does not have more missiles for two SAMP/T batteries, and for SMRC, CroTale has not received any rocket in a year and a half.
" The spokesman of the command Yuri Ignat also confirmed that the air forces lack rockets. He said that some of the chessi are now equipped with 16 obstacle modules. This complicates their interception, so you need a lot more remedy. The publication reported that Kyiv was surrounded by Patriot divisions, but they cannot protect the capital 100% from ballistics. One battery covers only a radius of 25 kilometers. The Russians found a way to go around this protection.
Their "Isanders" make maneuvers of evasion in the final phase, knocking down the calculations. In addition, they are able to dump baits to deceive the rockets of American SCR. We will remind, at night on May 26 Ukraine attacked 355 Russian drones, as well as 9 missiles of the type X-101. Thus, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation set a new record. The Economist reported that Russian UAV operators control drones through social networks.
