Shakhda plywood with Ukrainian SIM cards: what is known about the updated drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

In July, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation staged unusual air attacks on Ukraine, explained a spokesman for military intelligence Andriy Chernyak. The enemy launches Shakhi's plywood to identify the start -ups of air defense and mobile fire groups. Russian troops began to launch new versions of the Shahamed Dronov-Kamikadze, made of plywood and foam. They are used in order to identify the positions of air defense and make Ukrainians spend expensive anti -aircraft missiles.

Andriy Chernyak spoke about the peculiarities of the updated means of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of military intelligence in an interview with Reuters. Chernyak explained that Shahaned plywood is cheaper than a full -fledged counterpart. For its production, Russians spend about $ 10 thousand. These devices, as it turned out, are of two types. The first type has a video camera and a SIM card of the Ukrainian communication operator.

Due to this, the drone films the location of air defense (air defense) agents and information is immediately transmitted to the enemy. The second type either does not carry an explosive or carries a small amount, and acts as a brow. Defense forces cannot determine what the special UAVs are and knock them down. In such cases, it turns out that expensive air defense missiles are spent on the enemy's cheap UAVs, the military scout said.

"They determine where our mobile groups are located where machine guns stand that can destroy them. They try to get a picture where all our air defense are located," he said. Journalists also heard why mobile fire groups will not be able to effectively operate against the updated version of Shahaneda. According to him, the device flies at a height of more than 1 km, that is, it will not be reached by machine guns and rifles.

The new versions of Shahanedov have appeared over Ukraine five times during the last two to three weeks, Chernyak said. It speaks of the new tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Russian command reveals air defense coordinates and the ambushes of mobile fire groups and forces to spend anti -aircraft missiles in vain, it is an interview with an officer.

"It is virtually indistinguishable from a regular percussion drone from the ground, it still needs to be knocked down to find out where there are Ukraine's air defense systems," the journalists of the word Chernyak. It should be noted that Focus gathered information about the unconventional attack of "Shahanedov", which took place on July 25.

On that day, the monitoring public reported several groups of drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which were circling for about eight hours, for example, over the Kyiv region, and they were not beaten for a long time. Military expert Vladislav Seleznev explained that in this way the Russians sought weaknesses in Ukrainian air defense. We remind that during the air attack, on July 25, the Russian Dron-Kamikadze flew into the territory of Romania, confirmed in the air forces.
