The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces were knocked down by Russian UAV "Forpost": he was spying near Odessa, but could hit rockets

He notes that such goals are rarely affected. According to the spokesman, such drones happen infrequently. The estimated cost of "Forpost" is $ 6-7. 5 million. "We still managed to impress one of the most expensive unmanned aerial vehicles of striking type" Forpost " - this is a Russian UAV. This is a rather unusual goal, but we still managed to destroy it," Yevlash said. The Air Force spokesman indicated that such a drone could many different weapons and perform combat missions for a long time.

According to him, the drone resembles a barkar - quite large, can perform both intelligence functions and affect rockets targets on Earth. The basis for the drone model was the Israeli UAV Searcher MK II. In the basic version of "Forpost" is able to carry out exploration at a height of up to 5 km for 16 hours. The radius of action is 400 km. There are two versions of the "outpost" in the arms of the Russians.

Initially, the drone was conceived exclusively intelligence ("Forpost-R"), but also created a shock model ("Forpost-Ru"). We will remind, the drone "Forpost", although they are rare, but are in the service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation since 2012. These drones are made by the Ural Civil Aviation Plant under the Israeli license. It has been reported to beat outpost in the anti -terrorist operation zone in 2015. During the invasion of Russia, it was the second similar drone.

Despite combat functions, its main use is the intelligence or guidance of artillery and rockets. During the full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, these drones were mainly affected in the territory of the Odessa region and above the Black Sea. On May 2, 2023, the military anti -aircraft missile unit of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces was shot down by "outpost" near Odessa. There was also a report of beating at the end of July of the same year.

On December 21, 2023, the Ukrainian military knocked down three Russian Front and Lancet-3 drones. September 2023 was also reported. Along with "outposts" in the Odessa region, other Russian drones are spying. Russian invaders began to use Supercam UAV often for exploration in the region. The new Supercam S350 is capable of reconnaissance up to 100 km. Such UAVs were previously used on the Eastern Front and added trouble for the Armed Forces because of the ability to deep intelligence.
