Return the sender: can Ukraine send "Shahda" back to Russia

According to Anatoly Maslov, in order to "deploy" Shahamed's drones, you need to "entertain" their navigation. Plumbing is a method of radio electronic struggle based on the substitution of signals that the drone receives from the satellite. UAV believes that it is elsewhere, and adjusts its route to get to the planned point, and as a result, it flies to where it is directed by the remedy.

Theoretically, the Ukrainian military is quite capable of changing the direction of the Shahaneda and sending them back to Russia or Belarus, but in practice it is very difficult to do so. These drones use special protected antennas of their own production called "Comet". They are directed upwards to the satellites, while counterfeit signals usually refer from below.

"They are not easy to sleep, because usually the means of electronic struggle are on the ground, not in the air, so it is sometimes difficult to do it," Anatoly Maslov said. He cannot confirm whether Ukraine really directs Shahda or Belarus, because there is no access to this information, but suggests that Lemonde information is true. The Ukrainian System "Pokrova" can reject rockets and "Shahda" in height, using purfing so that they fall in the fields without causing any harm.

The representative of "Vinnytsia bees" explained that on board the UAV is usually an altimeter device, he is a height meter, so the device does not need to receive from the satellites data on what height it is. Because of this, it is impossible to intercept and replace them. "Perhaps this type of depleting is called with Shahheda's" Shahheda "of his coordinates.

Most likely, he receives information about the location at another point than he is actually, according to his understanding of his location, tries to change his height and thus falls" , - the specialist suggested. Anatoly Maslov also commented on rumors that Russia is preparing to attack Ukraine's swamps "Shahanedov". The Russians already use dozens of long -range UAVs, but it means not just many drones.

"If some smart algorithms are added there, then a swarm of drones is able to coordinate and better bypass narrow places in our air defense. To get information in real time and to make immediately to navigation. Vinnytsia bees. " The Russians experiment a lot with Shahheda control mechanisms. The Ukrainian military found devices with mobile modems, Starlink terminals, cameras and video transmission systems.

With their help you can send the drone some signal to adjust the route with a new point or coordinates, this does not even require a very low delay. Anatoly Maslov says that in this way the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can learn about the result of the mission of one drone that flies in front. If this "scout" was shot down by air defense, all others can bypass the dangerous area. Another option: there is a head UAV, and all others fly behind it in a certain sequence.

As soon as the operator loses connection with the leader, his role is transmitted to the next in the queue and so on. "In the case of drones swarm, it can happen in a" smart "semi -automatic mode," the developer said. To create shock swarms, says Anatoly, Russians need to have appropriate communication technologies, algorithms, software and more. It's quite difficult to realize. "There may still be a need for computational facilities for real -time data processing.

I am not sure how much it is a narrow place," the expert added. Sanctions operate and prevent Russia from receiving foreign components and technologies, which also applies to equipment for machine algorithms. But artificial intelligence systems can work differently, and not all require large computing capacity or large data. "More or less reasonable behavior can be ensured without the use of powerful servers so that the data is processed in real time.

I cannot say exactly what is needed for the swarms of" Shahmed ", I only assume," Anatoly Maslov said. In response to the appearance of Shahheda swarms, Ukraine can create flocks of drones. According to Anatoly, manufacturers will face the same problems: coordination of husbands of different UAVs and automatic adjustment of behavior depending on the circumstances.

However, if there are various obstacles for the fight against individual "shahas" that attack Ukraine now, there are also various obstacles for drones. Unmanned fighters need to bypass friendly remedies that suppress GPS navigation or other communication system during air anxiety. "The need for coordination with the forces of PVO, which now have the task of somehow to stifle the" shahas "so that they do not interfere with their own.

In the case of manual control without navigation systems, the operation of the operator is much more complicated, and at high speeds is required very high skill. Automatic guidance systems can be installed Navigation, "Anatoly Maslov shared his thoughts. Shakhda usually fly over Ukraine at night, so manual control is complicated by poor visibility due to darkness.
