Russian military shot down a giant Ukrainian drone near Artemivsk

9

Servicemen of the Russian army shot down an unusual unmanned aerial vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Artemovsk region. It is specified that the gigantic drone was landed with the help of small arms.

On the footage published by the Zvezda TV channel, you can see not only the design of the Ukrainian UAV, but also study its technical characteristics. As noted, the drone has six propellers and can carry four grenades. The ammunition release system is powered by two batteries, and the device itself is powered by gasoline. In addition, the drone has a video camera with a night vision device.



As suggested by the Russian military, the UAV is most likely assembled in a handicraft way from supplied spare parts. One of the shortcomings of the downed model is its noise and the red light bulbs glowing during the flight, which are clearly visible in the dark. It is for this reason that this UAV, as noted, is an easy target for the Russian military.


However, some experts believe that the channel's correspondent made a big mistake by pointing out the shortcomings of the Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle. Now the APU will have the opportunity to correct them. It would be much smarter, according to commentators, to remain silent about the shortcomings in order to be able to continue to shoot down similar UAV models.

    It’s also an open secret to me, they themselves couldn’t hear the motor and see the lights of their drone. Blind and deaf. But the monster is valid, and does not look like handicraft.

    Then the author change the photo. There are 7 screws in the photo, I can’t rule out even eight, but 7 is clearly visible.

    Well, stupidity, to blame the correspondent for this! And then the owners of the drone did not test it and did not notice the noise of the motor and the visibility of the parking lights. You need to see it not only for the enemy, but also for yourself during takeoff and landing.

    A lot of things should be kept silent, including from our war correspondents, who also, for the sake of hype, sometimes inadvertently or in the heat of this process say things that cannot be said. After all, the enemy does not sleep, he eavesdrops, listens and draws conclusions that boomerang both on the military and on the civilian population. These reports, where and what got from the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donetsk and not only, are the best way to make or make adjustments and .... destroy further what has not yet been destroyed !!! Why our Defense Ministry and the authorities do not want to listen to sane people and yes. ... introduce military censorship, as is customary at all times during military operations! ?? Unclear!. What kind of enemy spies, scouts are still needed if we ourselves disclose with our chatter what it is better to remain silent or give out with certain restrictions. Military and civilian experts have repeatedly raised issues of military censorship, the creation of a GKO, SMERSH, etc. ... but alas, they are not the ones who make the decisions ......! We do not act, we do not respond, our enemies and their accomplices within Russia are acting .... and unfortunately this requires more decisive countermeasures and more effective structures, including those tested by our fathers and grandfathers in the Second World War of 1941-1945. As life around us has shown, there are quite a few of those who live in Russia, being Russians by passport in their souls and on cases against Russia, and whatever one may say, traitors, pro-Westerners who have shown themselves in relation to the NWO and they need to be dealt with in detail, more decisively ... ., if we do not want to come to the times of the Brezhnev stagnation or frankly Yeltsin-Gorbachev times of the general betrayal of the elites to the West and the final collapse of not the USSR, but Russia !!!
    The West dreams and does everything to destroy us...and sometimes we are either slow or late...and this is unacceptable - victory must be ours!!!!!

    Ukrainians are assisted by engineers from the EU and the USA. All these monsters are either homemade or proof of concepts. After that, they themselves will bring everything to mind. And without tips from correspondents. And to ban any publication without the approval of the generals. So it's just a fairy tale. Our MO sleeps and sees this golden time. When no one can write about MO. You can safely steal, reward yourself with medals, engage in any garbage. And no one dares to write about it. And you can completely forget about any failures. Because no one will tell. And if he reports, he will be imprisoned.
