How Ukrainian drones flew to Russia airfields and why did not work enemy air defense

" The idea of ​​using drones-Kamikadze wandered in the air for a long time (and partially realized for a long From the side of all. In the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth . . . Twenty -second year (recently, in the spring), I heard these "objections" by people made in the field of drowsiness and dronone. "The idea is good," they said, "but Baracar is better. And let's go to the landfill, and let your drone over the ribs fly? . .

Low flies, especially if it flies at night, it is almost impossible to knock down from the course of the ribs and knock down physically the air defense missiles.

Because such a drone, flying over the antenna Reb, will be very short in the area of ​​influence of radiation, and the law of distribution of radio waves has not been canceled - there is none behind the radiation horizon, and from there, where it is, the drone will easily be selected by means of an inertial control system (standard The function of any copied autopilot). Because it is a very difficult task to detect low -flying drone even for super -modern radar.

After all, the drone has a very small EPR (reflects the ability), it is similar to the steals planes in this regard; And, again, the law of distribution of radio waves does not allow the radar to look over the horizon, it can only see the drone nearby, and still need to cite a rocket. It is even more difficult with rockets. Each rocket - with the active head of self -esteem or with the laid of the land management station - also has its own restrictions on the EPR of target Land.

In the daytime, it is more likely to knock down the drone - it can be visually visually, and not only a radar (and if it is not visible - it is not visible), it can be knocked out by hand (arrow weapons) or by guidance on the optical canal (rocket). But at night the pipe is generally. Yes, there are still all sorts of hand and self -propelled MSRs of the type "Sileger" or "Igla" with rockets equipped with infrared heads (IR). Can potentially knock down.

But if only the drone has a very large and warm engine, which is being given a rocket, and for a long time will fly over the calculation of the air defense to see/hear the drone, determine the place of his stay in the sky, send to this place Shaitan-Truba, wait A couple of seconds so that the homing head seizes the target and press the trigger. And if the drone is swept over you at a speed of 100-1000 km/h (any) at a height of 100 meters? You will not even have time to blink. This is the story.
