"Better 10 good than 50 abroads": Armed Forces fighters complain of low -quality drones from volunteers

According to the military, drones are often made of cheap details, so they disappear. Because of this, pilots often miss the goals. Poor quality of drones, which are partly collected in a semicontar set by many small suppliers, do not allow the military to hit the whole qualitatively - drones return to the operators with nothing or simply lost, together with cheap ammunition. The Ukrainian soldiers from the company of shock UAV "Rarog" shared with Reuters.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, became vital to the Ukrainian military under the full -scale invasion of Russia in February 2022. Apparently, everyone saw a lot of shots on the Internet with their successful work, but it does not always happen. A widespread complaint on drones - "No video". The cameras that refuse to work make the operator "blind". Fighters who perform tasks along the eastern front line in the Donetsk region say that it is better to have 10 well -made drones than 50.

Insufficient quality significantly affects the ability to see and strike the enemy's position. "The most common problems are video and control problems. And most of them are very often used because of poor quality details to make drones cheaper," says a soldier for Sam's call sign. Operators urge to test UAVs before departure to the front before use in battle. In their opinion, the drones of new or civilian manufacturers should be tested.

They also emphasize the standardization - the military should know exactly how the drone will work in their hands. "You work a lot and have to fly the flight, while the drones are very different. In one other controller, the other different settings and so on. Under the pressure of the enemy it happens that you miss something, and it leads to a mission for goals," he says Fighter "Yama".
