Ukrainians will produce long-range UAVs using the surviving Antonov facilities

8

The concern of the Ukrainian aviation enterprise Antonov has released a presentation that indicates the imminent start of assembly of drones. The types of aircraft are not specified.

Considering the experience of producing UAVs and cargo aircraft in Antonov’s workshops, it can be assumed with a high degree of probability that we are talking about plans to assemble heavy, long-range drones.



In this regard, it is important to note that the Russian side knew about the location and activities of the Antonov enterprise even before the start of the special operation. A logical solution in the current situation may be the destruction of Antonov’s production facilities, since the Kiev regime uses such industrial facilities to further militarize the country.

It is possible that UAVs coming off the factory assembly line will cause very significant damage to Russian cities and it is necessary to avoid such consequences.

Meanwhile, on the night of September 13, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked missile strike at a ship repair enterprise in Sevastopol. As a result of the explosions and fire, 24 people were injured. In addition, an attack was launched on ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet by unmanned boats. All Ukrainian Armed Forces watercraft were successfully destroyed.

    Let's see what they can do. Most likely - nothing. And even if it succeeds, it will only prolong the agony of the Kyiv regime!

      How many lives of our ordinary guys will this “agony” cost? I remember how the Defense Ministry bravuraly said that the Khaymars were bullshit and would be quickly knocked out.

    And the drones will probably be assembled there, right? :)

      There are bomb shelters on the territory, capable of sheltering the entire working shift from a nuclear explosion.. This was accepted back in the USSR. Most likely, they will collect in one of the shelters. It’s not a complicated matter - the airframe, the gluing of the fuselage and planes, and something like the landing gear are Ukrainian, the rest, the filling, is foreign. Yes, this can be done outside the factory. They're collecting them in our former shopping center. The contract simply indicated the Antonovsky Design Bureau and the supplier of the filling.
      Yes, the Antonov Design Bureau was created on the territory of Russia in the USSR (RSFSR) and later transferred to Ukraine, so the company’s logo should be returned to the Ukrainians.

    If you move “oligarch friends” away from making military-political decisions, then there will be no one to make decisions about attacks on Russia and there will be nothing to produce everything necessary for these attacks.

      What kind of “oligarch friends” are these and where should they be moved? What decisions do they make on attacks? What are you talking about?

    An immediate logical question: Why did the capacities survive?

      What powers? At one time, we developed and built UAVs in pioneer circles (district center) in the 70-80s. There was such a concept in aircraft modeling - radio-controlled models. .
      To make them, we used master models, fiberglass or carbon fiber, various vices, and a small lathe. Well, a muffle stove for baking carbon fiber screws. Radio control, steering gears, other materials and internal combustion engines of various sizes were supplied by the DOSAAF system. Fiberglass and carbon fiber with epoxy resins, and some necessary materials, such as gypsum, linden wood, aspen, were bought externally as logs or firewood, or simply chopped in the forest and dried.
      True, the control was visual, then cheap miniature cameras were not available and there were no screens to monitor, only with your eyes. But the models didn’t even fly very well. By the way, many of our guys from this circle went on to MAI and other aviation institutes and military higher schools. Himself one of them.
      So the main thing is to conclude an agreement with financing and identify suppliers, and you can assemble them even in dugouts.
