Night with special forces: As the fighters of the secret unit attack targets in the territory of the Russian Federation (photo)

He got to the forefront on the recommendation of his friend, a military serviceman of the Armed Forces. And he passed a thorough check. "Do you want to know how to harm Russia? Hit them on their own land. Bring them the horror they bring into the world. unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Ivan people have a special task: to appear from nowhere, to strike for goals in the depths of Russia, and then to disappear again. "On social networks, you can often see the results of a successful strike in the rear.

In many cases, we are. Sometimes no one but the enemy knows about it," the fighter says. Ukrainians do not have enough bombs to destroy a large weapons production plant that occupies several floors. But they can strike a small object that supplies it with vital details for the Russian war. With such limited Ukrainian weapons accuracy - and creativity - are vital. And they succeed. Over the past six months, Ivan's team has caused a loss of $ 200 million to the enemy.

"The planning of each operation takes days and sometimes weeks. Every purpose is unique; and we cannot make mistakes," the fighter said. It is about finding a weak space in the weapons production system; Parts of weapons that are irreplaceable or can only be replaced - and inadequately - cheap Chinese technologies. "The Russians are still huge problems. All of them are best created on the basis of technologies of the 1980s.

They use the Shahaned Iranian drones because they cannot produce Tomahawk missiles. We are surpassed by weapons and numbers, so we are so we We use any vulnerability, "-quotes a military journalist.

The need to strike a direct blow to Putin's military car - instead of destroying the endless flow of soldiers he sends to Ukraine - is the reason that Kiev is desperately seeking permission to use the US weapons within Russia; And why more and more countries, including the United Kingdom, finally give Ukraine green light. As a result, a bomb weighing 100 kg is loaded on a drone, which will be directed to Russian purposes.

The strategy of the Ukrainian special forces was explained by two colleagues of Ivan - Rodion and Valery. According to them, the advantage of blows in the Russian territory: their psychological influence. "Imagine you are a Russian recruiter who protects ammunition deep in Russia. You've never been to the front; from time to time you grasp the rifle and pretend to patrol but understand that there is no serious threat.

But one night when You lie in a warm bed, you hear noise in the air, and then your world suddenly explodes, "Rodion pauses and smiles. - And now we are hundreds of kilometers from here and drink coffee. "The reporter tells that at the entrance to the place where a drone from the bomb will go to Russia, they take away the phone and put in an isothermal bag that does not give it. The opportunity to send or receive any information. Valery opens his laptop and opens a "living" card.

I see hostile planes patrolled by air. He "evaluates air threats", in particular, checks that Russian drones are approaching us. Now we are waiting for the arrival of "gadget" - drone ", - says the journalist. When the" gadget "arrives on the trailer, David says that it is amazed at its size:" Gadgetika "is actually a small double passenger aircraft about three meters long. Just something like that The size can carry such a high health load.

" As a result, it is finalized on the spot: screw the wings and check the electronics. "Near the three -bladed propeller on the nose are two black triangular cracks, and below - two rectangular, reminiscent of the nose and mouth. " Looks like a cat, "says Ivan. Yes, an evil cat," says the journalist. And then he learns about a power plant for 320 km in the west of Russia. Impress the transponder (power source) at the power plant. Men tell me that he will fly in the dark. The sun sets.

"Beautiful Ukraine," I tell three soldiers standing near me. "Yes, but not a great time for Ukraine," they reply. "To the hell of Russia," is such a common opinion. The night comes. The gadget is rolled up on a concrete track, which will serve as a runway. Men gather around to carry out the latest checks. Everyone has red lanterns on the forehead. They are more difficult to see from the air, and they will help to avoid the unpleasant attention of the enemy.

The 100-pound cargo brought with them is rolled up to the "runway" and is attached to the base of the aircraft. Later, the journalist goes to a mobile command post where the UAV plane is already planned. "As I discovered, people inside were civilian pilots of commercial aircraft. Now that Ukraine converts planes into UAVs, it needs their skills for the most effective warfare. One of them, Alexander, will remotely control the plane during take on autopilot, "David notes.

The drone is 200 meters off, done for safety reasons. As soon as it happens, everyone is seated in cars and go. And the further movement of the drone is already observed from the cafe. In a few hours it is known that the target is affected and the drone returned. The next day in Roszm there are reports that the drone was shot down and there is no destruction. "The Russians, they lie forever," Ivan just replies.
