«We must be careful and extremely attentive»
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet succeeded in their big offensive, but our enemy is not insidious. He increasingly uses various tricks and tricks to inflict maximum damage on us. Reporter Rudenko described this tactic in his Telegram channel. He urged our fighters to be more careful with downed enemy drones.
If the main threat before was mined «birds», now the enemy has gone further. He supplied them with beacons-gunners. “This is done in order to calculate the location of our military, where the fighter will certainly bring the trophy,” Rudenko noted.
Special forces soldier «Akhmat» with the call sign «Raut» told the MK correspondent what else our military should pay attention to on the front line.
Thus, one of the military devices of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is infrared motion sensors that are used throughout the territory of the Marinka settlement. By the way, in other directions, the soldiers of the special forces «Akhmat» I have never come across such devices.
Their upper part looks like round plates of cloudy, brownish-greenish Plexiglas, about ten centimeters in diameter. The enemy scatters sensors like petal mines using cluster munitions. They remain on the roadsides, among grass, debris, on roofs, in the ruins of destroyed houses, basements.
Plexiglas is strong enough, so even when falling from a height, the device retains its performance. These devices merge with the terrain and are almost invisible to passers-by. There are no signs of operation on the sensor. It does not light up in any way, and is completely silent.
— The principle of operation of the device is as follows, — says «Raut». — On both sides of the circle are infrared motion sensors that are tuned to a large object. If a cat or a dog runs through, it will not work.
There is a GPS beacon inside, which transmits to the enemy everything that the sensor fixes. Where is the movement of our manpower, the accumulation of people or equipment. And it will work exactly as many times as they flicker in front of it. Thus, the enemy keeps track of how many people have passed and where.
— The device transmits coordinates up to a centimeter, — the commando continues. — That is, it will, for example, lie at a point with certain coordinates and show exactly where the movement occurred in one place or another.
There is a very important point that all the military should know: if detected, the sensor must be destroyed on the spot. As a rule, they are simply shot from small arms. Bringing a working device to the location is tantamount to handing over your coordinates to the enemy on your own. But already disabled sensors are taken away by the special forces and given to specialists for study. According to "Raut", one of the elements of suppressing a GPS sensor is just anti-satellite flash drives-jammers.
Another tricky device that the Armed Forces use for tracking is video cameras with motion sensors. They are installed, as a rule, on trees to hide with foliage. The cameras themselves are quite impressive in size, equipped with artificial intelligence, thanks to which they themselves turn in the right direction. Cameras automatically transmit the coordinates of objects that fall into its field of view.
— Unfortunately, it is not possible to mute the camera, since it is wired, — Raut clarifies. — It can only be destroyed or cut off from the wire.
According to the fighter, such cameras are only smaller, approximately like those installed on the entrances of residential buildings, or at the entrance to the store, «Akhmatova» ; met in the Lisichansk direction. The devices were equipped with GPS sensors, and therefore they could be jammed with electronic warfare.
