"Dream to make the enemy hit our" Patriot ": How do mules help in the war with the Russian Federation (photo)

According to volunteers, the demand for military weapons is huge. Currently, deceptions for Ukrainian "Stugon" and D-20 guns are being produced. However, plans to make models on "Starlins" and the Patriot system. Volunteers from Transcarpathia are engaged in producing military weapons models and sent to different sections of the front, where they can help to protect the real guns and anti -tank missile complexes "Stugna".

In an interview with UNIAN, the coordinator of the NGO "Movement of Support for Transcarpathian Military - Grapes" Mikhail Roman told this in an interview. The idea of ​​creating molds arose during one of the travel to the front when Michael Roman saw the servicemen of engineering troops mowed weapons from hand -made materials. "Certainly, those layouts were reminiscent of real weapons.

I saw it, and even then the first thought flashed: we need to help, we can do better in the rear, because it will be something," Roman said. The first model was the deception on the Ukrainian anti -tank missile complex "Stugna". He costs volunteers of 3,000 UAH, and after launching this mulamia into mass production, one such "stugna" costs about one thousand hryvnias. "The Russians for" Stugna "hunt for two reasons.

The first and the main one is dangerous because it breaks the armor of tanks, BMPs, etc. , therefore, effective against the enemy. The second reason is it expensive in production, so the enemy hunts for it as a trophies," - explained the novel. According to him, during the manufacture of models were focused on two things: it should be as similar as possible to real weapons to deceive the optics on enemy reconnaissance drones.

He should also be as mobile as possible so that the military can quickly collect and put the model in the place he needs. "Currently, more than 200 units of Stugna complexes have gone from Transcarpathia, and they serve as a wonderful distracting maneuver and the protection of real weapons of the Armed Forces in all directions. Plastic and rubber. 20 thousand hryvnias.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to do it so far, because everything rests on the complexity of the project, materials, money, which recently is more difficult and difficult to collect, "Roman said. In addition, according to the volunteer, there is no one to do, because two are two The masters who were able to make them were mobilized and are already at the front. But we produce them only in the quantity in which we can physically and financially, " - said Roman.

In the plans of Transcarpathian volunteers to make models on" Starlins ", because the enemy now often attacks communication. " We already have "on the base" now One damaged "Starlinka", we will focus on it, and we plan to launch mass production. One such device is not cheap, it is about thousands of dollars, so let the enemies beat those "old men" that cost 300 hryvnias, "Roman said.

In addition, the Transcarpathians want to realize a very large -scale idea - to create mules on the Patriot system which includes a team point, radar and starting installations. On it, if they beat, then something like "Iskander". I have already estimated that even if we spend $ 6-8 or $ 10,000 on the model, one "Iskander" costs an enemy of $ 3 million. I dream that the enemy breaks our "Patriot," - said Roman.
