Elimination by all Ben Laden would be impossible without weather forecast - the military meteorologist

Oleg Hrushevsky said that the Military Department of ODEU is the only one in Ukraine to produce military meteorologists. Every year, the university produces up to a dozen such specialists who are valued in the Armed Forces "for weight of gold". The reason is simple - no military operation, from exercises to large -scale offensive, is without weather forecast.

"Hydrometeorological support is carried out constantly at all stages of the Armed Forces - whether it is planning of exercises, whether it is operational measures, whether combat training, whether it is hostilities, or certain missions. For example, when Osama Ben Laden was liquidated [founder of the international terrorist organization Al-Qaeda], the group had meteorologists, "-said Hrushevsky.

The task of military meteorologists is to give predictions about the direction and speed of wind, visibility, temperature, height of waves in the event of a maritime operation, so that the commanders can make amendments, calculating the nuances of surgery: firing trajectory or drone course. "No mission related to drones begins without information about the weather," the meteorologist emphasized.

According to Hrushevsky, a drone that carries a small battle charge can be knocked down even very strong wind, and Bayraktar poses a threat of frosting in the clouds. "Another example is the reconnaissance drones that fix certain objects with the help of a camera. Imagine that they launched such a drone, and the visibility has blocked the clouds. What to do? The reach of the automatic shot. That is, it can be shot down by the enemy.

Therefore, the reconnaissance drone should be high enough in the sky, but so that it is not disturbed by the clouds. This is what our weather calculations are needed, "the colonel explained. Also, without the weather forecast, there are no departments of aircraft, for which the visibility during purposeful guidance and planting is important, and during the work of artillery, amendments to the wind and temperature are made. "Some weather limits the use of one or another weapon.

Correct weather assessment is an important component for the development of a military operation. A false forecast can lead to its limited effect or generally minimize a complete failure," Oleg Hrushevsky summarized. The leader of the Islamist terrorist organization "Al-Qaida" was liquidated by the Usam Bin Laden on May 2, 2011 on the third floor of the house in Pakistani Abbotabad as a result of the US 40-minute secret operation under the code name "Neptune spear".

Together with the leader of terrorists, his son, courier, and brother and wife of the courier were killed. After that, a group of special forces of the United States returned to Afghanistan, where the body was identified by the DNA test and buried in the Arabian Sea on the same day, at a distance of 1300 km from the shore, so that Ben Laden's grave did not turn into a shrine of future Jihaddi.

The Operation of the Neptune spear was sanctioned by US President Barack Obama, it was conducted by the DEVGRU special forces unit, who is in charge of the Joint Command of Special Operations, in cooperation with the CIA. We will remind, Ignat told whether the autumn weather would affect the launch of hostile shahd. According to the Air Force representative, poor visibility can affect the tactical aviation of the enemy, but not all of the UAVs.
