Russian "Orion" shot down a drone helicopter: spectacular footage published on the Web

18

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation organized an air battle between unmanned aerial vehicles at a training ground in Crimea. Spectacular footage of the Russian Orion UAV shooting down an unmanned helicopter from a distance of 4 km was published on the Web.

The video was posted on the YouTube channel Alexander Rogatkin Studio, a journalist from the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.



For the first time, the military department declares that Russian drones have fighter capabilities and can destroy enemy drones

- indicated in the caption under the video.


Based on what is shown in the video, we can say with a high degree of confidence that the helicopter-type drone was destroyed not by an air-to-air missile, but by the 9M133FM-3 Kornet-EM anti-tank guided missile with a high-explosive thermobaric warhead. The video clearly shows how the ammunition leaves the transport and launch container suspended under the Orion's wing. Moreover, the characteristics of this ammunition include the possibility of firing at air targets moving at speeds of up to 250 m / s (900 km / h) with a flight ceiling of 9 km, which was clearly demonstrated on footage.

We remind you that the Orion drones, weighing 1 ton, появились in Crimea this summer. This was a response to the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones of the Ukrainian Air Force that began flying near Crimea.

      Only tests. R&D and R&D are not completed. There are no such UAVs in the units and subdivisions of the Ground Forces. We have heard a lot about import substitution and the bulk of the population is still sure that it happened, if not instantly, then somewhere almost immediately. Unfortunately, in robotization, Russia lagged behind by 20-25 years. We copy old Israeli 1st generation UAVs. They are more reminiscent of the crafts of the pioneers from the aircraft modeling circle. For a long time, advanced countries have been building jet-powered strike drones, carrying several guided munitions, with a satellite communication channel.
      There are about 60 large aviation enterprises in the PRC. The engines are made by themselves. Aircraft Engine Corporation of China (AECC) is a Chinese state-owned aerospace manufacturer. On Ali, the Chinese sell miniature jet engines for model aircraft. (our glider pilots-craftsmen put them 2-3 pieces on their gliders for acceleration and take-off.) In R.F. there are no such miniature technologies even close. (to make a turbine with blades with a diameter of 8-10 cm - How's that ????)

        The Chinese still fly on the AL-31F, so blades for micro turbines can be made, but blades for a normal engine for a fighter cannot be made, how is that? Do not engage in taftology, recently the Hunter with a flat nozzle was rolled out

          It is useless to communicate with him. Someone hammered false information into his head, and now he jumps around the sites and spreads it.

          The People's Republic of China has problems with engine building. They will get it right. They have a systematic approach to the problem.

          recently won a flat nozzle hunter rolled out

          They rolled out a flightless mock-up. The video shows another UAV. With a round spolom. Able to make 15-minute flights. Due to the failure of the serial production of the Su-57, the entire concept of the Okhotnik collapses.

            Yes, of course they will cope, for 20 years they have been trying in any way. And they fly on the upgraded Tu-16

              The main thing is not to experience personnel, financial, sanctions problems. For a country that has never had its own engineering school of aircraft engine building, this is forgivable. Unlike Russia.

        Sometimes it seems to me that you are delusional.

        We make a turbojet engine with a thrust of 20 kg or less using 3D technology - this is how it is ...

      the range of the cornet is 10 km, which means one UAV covers 20 km along the front, two UAVs are already 40 km))
      not bad air defense is obtained, and the main thing is at a distance of hundreds of kilometers from the base, if you teach them to shoot down targets on their own

      Lord, what kind of nonsense? Do you even know what R&D and R&D are?
      This is the stage of theoretical study of the project, i.e. on paper (now on PC). And here are already real tests.
      In short, it is clear who you are - EksperD.

        Better tell us what is good with us: pensions, salaries, education, medicine, films, sports? I just want to have an idea of ​​your thinking and understanding.

      anti-tank guided missile 9M133FM-3 "Kornet-EM" with a high-explosive thermobaric warhead. Crap! Since when did 9M133FM-3 become thermobaric? How long can you tolerate all this crap, which is regularly given out on the pages by idiots with a smart look!? ...

        There, just a high-explosive part is equivalent to 7kg of TNT with remote detonation, the drone is destroyed by a blast wave
