How strike UAVs can become weapons of mass destruction and terror

7

The strikes by Ukrainian drones on May 30, 2023 against the Moscow region of Russia, in addition to the problems of the capital's air defense system, revealed one very dangerous trend that requires the highest attention and comprehensive discussion. If suddenly someone else has not understood, then primitive and inexpensive UAVs are only half a step away from becoming something between a strategic weapon and a weapon of international terrorism.

In this publication, which is the logical conclusion of the first two, devoted to how Ukrainian drones were able to overcome our missile defense system over Moscow and why their main goal was the area of ​​compact residence of the Russian "elite", we will try to substantiate the thesis stated above.



Media


The fact that, in response to attacks by Iranian Geraniums on military targets and energy infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, the Kiev regime would eventually respond with kamikaze drone raids on Russian cities and villages was clear from the very beginning of “suroviking”. What the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces was counting on, knowing that even the famous Moscow air defense / missile defense system, built in Soviet times, was not designed to intercept low-speed low-altitude air targets, is not entirely clear. In simpler Russian cities, in principle, there is nothing like the anti-aircraft dome of the capital.

The main problem for the enemy was the significant remoteness of Moscow from the Ukrainian border. To destroy objects in the territory of the main metropolis of our country, drones with a long flight range were required. Initially, the main workhorse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was the old Soviet UAV "Strizh", converted from reconnaissance to shock. And, alas, with the help of NATO satellites, enemy Tu-141s last year twice were able to fly to the military airfield in Engels, where, for a moment, long-range aviation missile-carrying bombers, which are an integral part of the Russian "nuclear triad", are based.

Yes, even the old Soviet horse turned out to be useful, but there are not so many Swifts left in Ukraine, and new ones are not being produced. Therefore, with the obvious technological assistance of Western curators, accomplices and accomplices, the Kiev regime began to quickly develop more modern shock kamikaze drones, the flight range of which was supposed to exceed 1000 km in order to cover Moscow with a guarantee. Ukroboronprom commented briefly on this in 2022:

Range - 1000 km, warhead weight - 75 kg. We are finishing development.

75 kilograms of explosive is a lot, but not that much either. It will definitely not work to smash the capital to smithereens. True, an important nuance is what exactly the warhead will be, but more on that later. A certain "unnamed adviser to the Ukrainian authorities on defense issues" on condition of anonymity told the Financial Times the following information:

We have no restrictions on the distance, and soon we will be able to achieve any goals on the territory of Russia, including in Siberia. In Ukraine, we know how difficult it is to defend against such air attacks. Soon Russia will not have safe zones either. These attacks ... will certainly make the Russians less confident ... They will have to think about how to distribute military equipment and ensure its security.

Apparently, work on strike UAVs in Nezalezhnaya is going on in several directions at once. I would like to draw attention to UAV "Sokol-300"presented to the public in 2019. Depending on the engine used, its flight range can reach 1000, 1300 and even 3300 km! That is, this Sokol from North-Eastern Ukraine can theoretically fly to the Urals and beyond.

"Warhead"


The second problem for us is that as a warhead on the same "Falcon" there may be not a banal explosive that dies once, and that's it, but a container with some kind of radioactive liquid. In detail about what a radiological weapon is and what competencies for its creation were in Ukraine during the Soviet era, we talked in detail in article dated February 21, 2022. Normally, the R-2 rocket manufactured by Yuzhmash with such a filling was supposed to fly up to 550 km and explode at a height, spraying it over the maximum territory. The names of this radioactive rubbish, by the way, were very relevant - "Geranium" and "Generator". Ironic, right?

The problem is that the mere fact of air interception of such a strike drone as the Sokol or another will in no way solve the problem of radiation contamination of the surrounding area. It’s just that the drone will most likely be shot down by an air defense system at a lower altitude, and the spraying of a toxic substance will be more localized, but that’s all. What will it be like for those over whose heads and houses this will happen?

There is an even worse option if the warhead is presented not with explosives, and not with a container of radioactive liquid, but with special tanks designed for spraying aerosols. The fact that in Ukraine they purposefully found out from the manufacturers of "Bayraktarov" about such technical opportunities, back in March 2022, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection troops of the RF Armed Forces, Igor Kirillov, said:

Noteworthy is the request of the Ukrainian company Motor Sich to the Turkish manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles Bayraktar. I want to emphasize that this document is dated December 15, 2021. Its essence: is it possible to equip this UAV with systems and mechanisms for spraying aerosols with a capacity of more than 20 liters. In fact, we are talking about the development by the Kyiv regime of technical means for the delivery and use of biological weapons with the possibility of their use against the Russian Federation.

Concerns about biological weapons were not accidental, since patent #US8967029B1 was previously published in the United States for spraying biological weapons in this aerosol way. That is, with the help of UAVs, various pathogens of deadly diseases can be remotely sprayed into different corners and villages of our vast country.

The third direction of possible terrorist attacks is the spraying of chemical warfare agents directly from drones. Thus, both the positions of the RF Armed Forces and peaceful cities can be attacked. Just imagine what a UAV stuffed with military gas can do, crashing into, say, a large shopping and entertainment center. Brr.

For understanding: the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already using gas weapons against the Russian military, though non-lethal ones, by dropping Teren-6 gas grenades with tear gas on their heads from drones. Overton windows, they are. If you shoot down an UAV with such a warhead, then the poisonous filling will still come out, albeit in a smaller area.

We kindly ask you to take such warnings as seriously as possible. It is hardly coincidental that President Biden threatened Putin last March with the consequences if he suddenly used chemical weapons in Ukraine:

We will answer if he applies it. The nature of the response will depend on the use of this weapon.

The evil irony is that Russia just destroyed all its chemical weapons stockpiles ahead of schedule, while the United States did not. Apparently, this is a lead to the return of Novichok, which, of course, President Putin will again be accused of using in the West. “They fired on themselves”, “Russian rebels” – well, you know how it works.

Thus, kamikaze drones, due to their simplicity and cheapness, multiplied by their long flight range, with some varieties of warheads, can turn into weapons of mass destruction, ideal for terrorist attacks. The only guaranteed salvation from the use of such weapons of mass destruction in Russia is a complete cleansing of the entire territory of the former Square from Ukrainian Nazis. Otherwise it will be really bad.

    You can't argue with the author's arguments.
    The problem is that the way he proposes to stop the dangers:

    complete cleansing of the entire territory of the former Independent

    It's called "genocide".
    Is it real?

      For some reason, Germany was cleared of the Nazis in 1945, and this is not called genocide. With the change of Nazi power, many in Ukraine will again become normal and without Bandera manners. It is known that the policy of the state also shapes the behavior of citizens, otherwise they become a target for repression. At the same time, the propaganda of the Russian Federation does not work at all, does not affect the population of Ukraine, does not indicate a way out of the current situation, and does not counteract the Nazi Bandera propaganda. Conclusion: the delay in the NMD is the cause of the systemic problem of the statehood of the Russian Federation - inaction in all areas of modern hybrid warfare, which is especially detrimental in wartime. Today, the main thing is the struggle for the consciousness of citizens, both the enemy and the whole world, and in this main front we suffer constant defeats. And, as always, there are no guilty parties for such defeats, but the allocated money is always "mastered" ...

    That's when we hear that the unit associated with the UAV has been destroyed, we can say that this is the correct position. Destroy what is shooting at us. And plowing the land is the lot of tractors.

    It is such a weapon.
    If they invented a new species, they will use it.

    It can be much worse if it is adopted by an organized crime group, the Mafia and detachments of regional corrupt officials, such as Arshukovs or Tsiplaks.

    An inexpensive drone with explosives, and the businessman / opponent / objectionable / critic of Kadyrov or the defender of the forest will disappear ..
    Imagine that the Italian mafia would have such drones in the 70s and 80s. Or Italian Lodges in the 80s and 90s. And whether the death squads in Chile.

    And room for provocation. Only a rally gathered against the increase in utility bills - and then a drone with a cracker / chemistry / mushrooms ....
    All. No rallies, dissatisfied in jail, try to prove that the drone is not yours...

    Attack UAVs already 10 years ago became weapons of mass destruction and the main force of attack aviation. The fact that we consider it "toys for children" and the sect of the holy slave will knock everything down is already our problems.

    If we talk about a kamikaze UAV like Geranium, this is a cheap replacement for cruise missiles, and if there is a real-time satellite communication module, targeting or changing targets will greatly increase the effectiveness of such a cruise missile.
    Iran, of course, is a fine fellow, under the conditions of total sanctions and isolation, made a cheap and effective high-precision weapon.

    All countries that do not have cruise missiles or money for thousands of cruise missiles will make an analogue of Geranka.

    In general, in the future we are waiting for UAVs that will "bring up" several smaller UAVs. Like an intercontinental missile with many warheads.

    AND? All THIS has been clear for so long, both about chemical weapons and about bacteria, that drones are the most dangerous for civilians for this very reason. 75 kg of anthrax spores will arrive in the center of Moscow, and what to do next?
    What distinguishes a strong state from a weak one? The fact that he has such a weapon that the weak does not have.
    Neo-fascism can be stopped only by nuclear strikes. Simply and clearly explain what kind of attack Belgorod (Shebekino, Donetsk, etc. underline) the Russian Federation declares war on Ukraine and inflicts a nuclear strike on one of the cities of Ukraine. Gives 48 hours of time to leave major cities for the population. And hit with not the most destructive warhead. For Lviv, for example. And immediately warn that it will deal such a blow every day until Ukraine signs a complete and unconditional surrender. And warn everyone else that we are peaceful people, but for the death of our people we are ready to destroy the whole world, and if anyone else turns up with the help of Ukraine, they will also be declared a war of DESTRUCTION.
    There are no other options and there won't be. Enough already soaring in the clouds. Either they give in and accept our terms, or to hell with the world on their terms. Let them die like dogs. We still go to heaven.

    Answer for Washington, London, Rammstein. And the hohlobanda will subside!! The tridents are already rusty. Everything went to lobbying! "Bribes according to ours"
