Downed Turkish drone "Bayraktar" ended up in Russia

61

An image of the downed Turkish drone Bayraktar TB2, next to which is VGTRK journalist Alexander Rogatkin, has appeared on the Web. This indicates that this UAV is already in Russia.

On the territory of which country the Bayraktar was shot down is not specified. But studying it, even in this form, will be useful for Russia. However, the drone is quite well preserved.



Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine from the presented wreckage which particular Air Force this UAV belonged to. The thing is that the stuffing of the Turkish Air Force drones differs from the export "light" versions. At the same time, the export set (6 UAVs, 2 mobile control stations, 200 ammunition and auxiliary equipment) costs $ 69 million.

Turkish "Bayraktars" were used during the last war in Nagorno-Karabakh and are still used in Libya and Syria. In addition, their combat, albeit one-time, use in the Donbas was noted.

Currently, such drones are in service with Turkey, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Qatar, Turkmenistan, PNS Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Poland and Tunisia. Contracts were signed for the supply to Iraq, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ethiopia, Oman, Nigeria, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Serbia.

      The main problem for the Russian unmanned aircraft is the lack of the required number of medium and heavy attack UAVs, as well as strategic reconnaissance drones of the Global Hawk type, in a third-rate NATO country. The world unmanned aviation industry has grown so much in recent years that experts identify more than a dozen different types of UAVs, each of which has both generally recognized "legends" and less interesting specimens. The success of the Turks is that they have adapted guided and guided ammunition to Bayraktar .And on the Orions produced by the piece, only FAD-50.
      The Russian aviation industry was not ready for the technological leap in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles. That is why Russia is lagging behind the United States, China, Israel and even Turkey in creating heavy attack drones of long flight duration. One of the problems in underestimating the Ministry of Defense and NGS of the role of UAVs in modern combat operations. Another problem is the extremely limited military budget of the Russian Ministry of Defense. From here comes the RPKN, built without SSGNs and without MAPLs, diesel engines without VNEU, Air Force without reconnaissance aircraft and electronic warfare, a meager number of tankers and AWACS and U. systems, and much more.

          What exactly from the comment above is not true? The man still spoke very delicately. I'll tell you straight - in this segment (UAV) the Russian Federation has lagged behind forever and this lag is growing every day. And today is not the time that was when, by order of I.V. Stalin, A.N. Tupolev and his team, in a short time, simply copied the American B-29, creating a long-range Tu-4 bomber for the USSR, today, even successfully copying someone else's original, the problem is not to decide, and to copy the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex is not enough, we will not say anything about software at all ...

            What exactly from the comment above is not true?

            If you open your eyes, you can see what specifically does not correspond to reality. I even gave a quote. Where are we talking about copying in the text? Why such a conclusion? The author of the comment would like to think so - let him think. But this opinion is based on his own guesses. "Bayraktar" is of interest to Russia only from the point of view of combating it. Assess the radar signature, work on the communication unit. In terms of any incredible technology, the Turkish UAV is just zero without a stick. There is nothing to copy.

            I'll tell you straight - in this segment (UAV) the Russian Federation has lagged behind forever and this lag is growing every day.

            Here you go. They wanted to say it bluntly, but they said it very crookedly. The fact that Russia is still lagging behind (in general, lagging behind, but in some developments, on the contrary, is ahead), this is already clear. Don't get your hopes about "forever". The capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex are by an order of magnitude superior to that of Turkey or Israel. We just started doing drones later than the rest. Our tasks were different - to restore nuclear parity of forces. As a result, they not only restored, but outstripped the main enemy.

            The "pacer" was put into service. It works by satellite, by the way, unlike Bayraktar. The Turks are only now trying to implement this feature. On heavy UAVs, if we take "Akyndzhi" and "Altius", we go on a par. We are even ahead of the Americans in very difficult ones. They closed their project X-47.

              The tracking station is the same as on Orion, Canada. The engine is the same.

              The "pacer" was put into service. It works by satellite, by the way, unlike Bayraktar.

              In parts of the Russian Armed Forces, it is not. The satellite constellation of the Aerospace Forces is tiny for use by UAV control. Communication channels are very limited.

              On heavy UAVs, if we take "Akyndzhi" and "Altius", we go on a par.

              Akinchi is mass-produced. Altius still gets dirty diapers.

              In terms of any incredible technology, the Turkish UAV is just zero without a stick. There is nothing to copy.

              Every half of the year it is more and more difficult for the Russian military-industrial complex to copy, and it is even more difficult to establish serial production of products.

                AND? It proves once again that Bayraktar is the most mediocre UAV.

                The satellite constellation of the VKS is tiny for use by UAV control. Communication channels are very limited

                Who writes this to me? Are you a regular on the forums? Links to competent resources in the studio, or forest.

                Akinchi is produced commercially. Altius is still getting the diapers dirty.

                Serially. One car handed over. And two prototypes for operator training. Such a series.

                With each half of the year it becomes more and more difficult for the Russian military-industrial complex to copy. And it is even more difficult to establish serial production of products.

                  Even such a mediocre UAV is beyond the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex, which is why they dragged in to copy it.

                  And nothing has changed.

                  By 2020-2022, we planned to have about 20 vehicles in orbit, but due to the sequestration of the Federal Space Program, the launches of a number of satellites went “to the right,” Zaichko quoted in the latest issue of the Russian Space magazine published by Roscosmos.
                  For comparison, Zaichko said that China has 42 remote sensing satellites, India - 20, the European Union and the United States - 18 each. "In addition, a comparable number of commercial vehicles are in operation, including those equipped with highly detailed and detailed imaging equipment," Zaichko said. ...
                  In September, the Vedomosti newspaper wrote that the Russian global navigation satellite system (GLONASS) could degrade if the import substitution program fails, the emergence of which is due to the US sanctions. The publication predicted that "if the satellites begin to fail in the next year or two, there will be nothing to replace them", and "in this case, the entire system is threatened with degradation." “Of the currently operating satellites, 13 are already beyond the seven-year guaranteed lifetime. This can affect the state of the grouping and the parameters of the navigation signal at any time, "the newspaper admitted.

                  In March 2019, Maxim Yakovenko, while serving as head of Roshydromet, said that a third of the target equipment operates on Russian satellites used to obtain meteorological information. In February of the same year, the official noted that Russia does not have its own meteorological satellites due to the fact that "the Russian group simply died."

                  In December 2019, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kobylkin announced that foreign satellites supply more than 80% of the total meteorological data for Russia.

                    I don’t even know if it’s incompetence in the question or banal carelessness? Or maybe even easier - an attempt at deception? After all, we are talking about satellites for remote sensing of the earth, and not about military communications spacecraft.

                    Roshydromet? Fun! It seems that they were talking about military drones, and you are sending links about meteorological satellites.

                          Scan the plans of Roscosmos, and quote Rogozin's lamentations about the impossibility of creating modern satellites, repeat the same thing. Without an adequate satellite constellation, including communication satellites, stable control of the few Russian UAVs cannot be achieved. The fact of delivery of a Turkish UAV for study and copying shows that things in the UZGA and in the Kronstadt group, the situation is even worse than it seemed before. The Ministry of Defense of Russia has already turned to the Ministry of Defense of the PRC for help in the design and creation of UAVs, but received a negative answer.

Once again, I tell you - communicate substantively. I am not interested in your own conclusions. I am interested in facts, it is on them that you can rely on, drawing conclusions about the saturation of the Russian constellation of satellites, and about all other issues. For 1,5 hours of communication with you, you did not give a single fact. This means that you do not have any information. Yes, in fact, you cannot have it, since it is secret. What to talk to you about? About nothing.

                          The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation staged an aerial battle of drones at a training ground in Crimea, during which the Orion drone from 4 km. shot down a helicopter-type UAV with a guided missile.

                          The use of guided munitions from a Russian UAV is circus. And not a routine routine, as on Turkish UAVs. MO is trying to rub glasses with the Kornet ATGM guides, stupidly pinned to the UAV. That ruins the very concept of using a UAV. The video shows that the ATGM is the only one. its weight, not adapted to the power of the BLA engine. This is called giving out dung for candy. It is useless and costly to supply such piece crafts in bulk to the Russian Armed Forces. Such a video is fascinating for young recruits.

According to projects, ideas, developments, the Russian military-industrial complex has overtaken NATO and the PRC with Japan, for about 50 years. That’s not going with the implementation in the series. Many representatives of the military acceptance claim that they can guarantee to make a piece copy of the product. Serial production is a problem. Since 2015, NATO's intelligence and law enforcement agencies have significantly strengthened their actions. to suppress delivery channels for the Russian military-industrial complex of various components.

                          Bayraktar is purchased by dozens of countries. Nobody knows the "pacer". Bayraktar is a middle-class UAV. Akinji is a heavy-class UAV, it is mass-produced, used for its intended purpose. With Turkish-made guided ammunition. Like the Anka UAV.

                          If they can make a suitable piece copy that meets all the requirements and requests, then the issue of launching it into a series is a financial issue.

                          First of all, technological. The Russian military-industrial complex has approached the red line of technological and technical backwardness, when even copying is impossible. Soviet warehouses have dried up.

                          All in good time.

                          And this has been going on for 30 years now, and President Putin insists that there is no time for swinging.
                          There are only two Project 22350 frigates. And only one of them with a Russian gas turbine unit and a reducer. About sending it to the main event is silent. Far from everything is fine with a reducer and a gas turbine unit. As well as with long-range air defense. Serial production of the Su-57 has failed. , for testing in GLITS.T-14 will not be a mass tank due to problems with the engine, electronics, and KAZ.

                          Yes, Ruslan did not spare his time! I thought the miner was a military expert from a retired military, it turned out to be a banal troll. Most of all I am touched by his hackneyed phrases about pre-conscripts of primary school age. Apparently it was with such people that he was used to communicating - they take his word for it. Send him to us! Apparently we are doing our job well, since such a specialist was sent here. Works tirelessly. Apparently they pay well. The fool is made of cardboard, he thinks readers are reading his sheets. They can not always master the text itself.

                          If they can make a suitable piece copy that meets all the requirements and requests, then the issue of launching it into a series is a financial issue. Yes, we are not Americans who inflate their military budget, not least through external loans. Everything has its time. It is impossible to buy at once 1000 T-14 tanks, 200 Su-57 fighters, 40 22350 frigates, hundreds of attack UAVs of all stripes and so on. But you don't get it.

                          Comrade, do you at least orient yourself in what you say? You rightly said that this is a "financial issue." What country do you live in? Oligarchs, headed by their leader, Putin, live and rule in the country. They "rake in" the lion's share of the country's money. To palaces, to yachts, to villas around the world for yourself and your children, to multi-billion dollar accounts in foreign accounts, to the first places in the Forbes list. If the military equipment is mass-produced, which, as you say, has been developed "50 years ahead" by Russian designers, then ... the top leadership should give all the Russian "grandmothers" for this, and not put them in their pockets. You want to deprive them of their income .. and walk like you to the "wooden outhouse in the yard" in order to "overtake everyone in armaments" in the world. And so that "everyone in the world respects and feared us" ... But a wooden toilet and "respect for the whole world" is not for them ... This is for you, but not for them. Therefore, apart from some promotions, such as Daggers, Onyx, S-500, nothing more will be mass produced. Because it costs the money that the country's ruling elite puts into their pockets. It was at one time that Stalin invested all the funds of the USSR in the creation of the country's military-industrial complex, and when he died, nothing was found in his safe except for an old cap. The people also had nothing, poverty. But the most terrifying military power in the world was built. Well, so the current Russian elite does not want to stay with a "cap" ... Stalin wanted ... and maybe you would like to stay in an old cap, but with a "frightened world" around. But the oligarchs don't want to. They want to live in the Western world, not intimidate it.

In addition to some successes in hypersonic technology and air defense systems, Russia has nothing "done" in the field of other new technology ... Everything else is "excellent and promising developments." We also read and see the situation ... The Armata tank is an example of this, and the Su-57 aircraft. We are waiting, we are waiting, but apart from "great reviews", there is nothing else ...

                    Do not worry so much about the Russian military-industrial complex. Today it works normally. In case of force majeure (I hate this word), it will work at full speed. There is a production, technological and (most importantly!) Resource base for this. The size of the territory of Russia, and with it the size of the depth of defense, is sufficient for any regular "barbarossa" to get stuck here.
                    The Russian army already today has everything it needs to defeat ANY enemy. What has to do with it on a global scale, and not on your narrow-minded "bayraktarny" tactical level.

              It is clear that the study of equipment and weapons of a potential enemy is aimed, among other things, at the development of methods of counteraction. I am not an expert in the field of unmanned aviation and I will not undertake to judge how much Russian UAVs are superior to Turkish ones, but there is no doubt that the Turks have developed and are successfully massively using their drones in practice in combat conditions, they are improving not only the performance characteristics of products, but also the tactical schemes of their combat work , interaction with manned aircraft and ground forces. There is nothing of the kind in the Russian Armed Forces so far, so to say that for you the Turkish level is already yesterday is somewhat presumptuous, in my opinion.

        The success of the Turks is that they adapted guided and corrected ammunition to Bayraktar, and on the Orions produced by the piece, only FAD-50

        An IPS specialist with low social responsiveness, you can only transfer bullshit from your training manual to the same as you, by word of mouth, it does not work on normal people

        The drone can be armed with guided bombs - KAB-20, KAB-50, guided gliding bombs - UPAB-50, free-falling bombs - FAB-50, as well as an aviation guided missile - X-50. In addition, Orion has been tested in Syria since Whirlwind missiles.

        Are you able to give a reasoned answer? Yes, in the USA, work is now underway on a heavy strike UAV (I would introduce a new class - super-heavy, 20+ tons), but the work is far from complete. Our second prototype was rolled out the other day. The third will most likely already be a serial sample. Essentially there is something to say in contrast?

      Bayraktar is not a bad drone, but no one in Russia is going to copy it .... Everything you need to know about it has long been known. The photo where Rogatkin stands in front of him does not say anything ... Yes, he is effective, but this is yesterday. There are much better and more powerful drones in Russia. Indeed, for good reason, these TB-2s, except for Karabakh, have not been shown anywhere. But, there was a disregard for the Armenians to drones. Plus the mountainous terrain, which helped almost unnoticed fly up to the Armenian positions. But on the plain, where there are echeloned various electronic warfare ... TB-2 there is nothing to do ... It is there an easy target for the space forces. The satellite determines the coordinates, transfers it to the rocket crew ... That's it, TB-2's life is over.
