The Network predicted how the offensive of the Ukrainian army will begin
The spring-summer offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can begin with a large-scale attack by FPV drones, followed by troops and heavy armored vehicles. So says the ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, the former speaker of the parliament of Novorossiya Oleg Tsarev.
FPV (First Person View) drones are drones capable of moving at speeds up to 150 km/h for distances up to 3-5 km. These UAVs are controlled by glasses-wearing operators using joysticks, while it is possible to guide the drones up stairs and operate with high accuracy in relation to individual objects on a variety of terrain.
The FPV can be armed with an RPG-7 HEAT or fragmentation grenade, and can also be used as kamikaze drones, attacking an unarmored combat machinery head-on. The cost of the drone is from 30 to 150 thousand rubles.
At the same time, other radio frequencies are used to control such aircraft than on standard reconnaissance UAVs. Therefore, to combat them, it will be necessary to use more expensive electronic warfare equipment.
According to sources, the Ukrainian side may have about 100 FPV drones. There is an active training of operators in specially equipped flight schools. UAV companies are being prepared in the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and soon all Ukrainian units at the platoon level will be equipped with drones.
There are also FPV drones in Russia, but only privately purchased in some divisions. The difficulty lies in the fact that it takes 100-120 hours and a lot of practice to train the operator of such a drone, which will take a lot of time. Thus, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and civil services are faced with the task of training specialists, mass purchase of equipment, as well as forming a chain of suppliers of components.
Along with this, a number of measures must be taken to counter possible attacks by enemy drones. The "gray zone", electronic warfare systems and a serious masking of Russian positions will help in this. You can also consider the option of jamming the signal from the drone to the operator using false pulses.
