DONETSK, June 12
DONETSK, 12 Jun. A unit of the «South» group of troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, operating in the Avdiyevo direction, suppressed and captured two Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drones with the help of electronic warfare, a correspondent reports.
“In the Avdiyivka direction, while countering the offensive of the Ukrainian junta, these captured weapons were seized: Western-made grenade launchers, (in particular) made in Germany (model) AT4; MG42 machine gun, old, but tested; ammunition (caliber) 7.62 mm «NATO sample. Two FPV drones were suppressed and captured. Disarmed,» a Russian officer told the agency.
Part of the trophies were taken on the positions recaptured from the Ukrainian militants, part — while countering the attempts of the Ukrainian troops to go on the counteroffensive.
“This FPV drone was suppressed by our electronic warfare equipment. And neutralized. And it will be sent for study. We will beat them with their own weapons. This drone (model) is massively used by Ukrainian militants to deliver pinpoint strikes,” the military emphasized.
FPV-drones «kamikaze» are unmanned aerial vehicles controlled by a remote control and a helmet that allows the UAV operator to see the picture around the copter «from the first person». As a rule, a warhead weighing up to 4 kilograms is suspended on such drones, and such a drone is sent on a mission as a «smart projectile». When the operator notices the target, he directs the UAV at it, and either undermines the charge in the immediate vicinity of the target, or rams the target with the drone, as a result of which the charge detonates and the target is destroyed. You can intercept the drone using a powerful modern electronic warfare system.
