Russian soldiers shot down the Ukrainian Baba Yaga with a machine gun

4

Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces in the Artemovsk direction shot down a Ukrainian Baba Yaga drone, used to drop large-caliber mines. Such UAVs are controlled via the Starlink satellite network, so it is not possible to track the operators and destroy them.

Initially, the quadcopter was deprived of signal and immobilized using an anti-drone gun. Next, fire was opened on the aircraft using a Kalashnikov machine gun. The drone is currently housed in the unit's museum. Initially, “Babu Yaga” was used to irrigate fields.




In total, the drone is capable of carrying up to four mines. At the same time, the drone is equipped with a thermal imager, which allows the enemy to track the presence of various types of combat weapons on the battlefield. equipment RF Armed Forces and drop ammunition on it. At the same time, Russian military personnel can detect such drones at a distance of up to 6 km using thermal imagers. The Baba Yaga cannot be destroyed by electronic warfare, so the UAV is hit manually.

At the same time, Russian specialists are successfully reprogramming Ukrainian drones, and they are starting to work for the Russian Armed Forces. It is also reported that for the destruction of such a drone you can get up to ten days of vacation.

    It seems like a very small copter. How can it carry 4 large-caliber mines?

    It turns out that there is no air defense on the LBS?!
    Save yourself with whatever you can. So what?

      It all came down to immobilization, the UAV hovered, and then they hit the hanging target with a machine gun. In the case of a UAV in motion, success can hardly be achieved, perhaps only with a sufficient shrapnel-shot shot. As is known:

      The salvation of drowning, the work of the drowning themselves.

      The use of new weapons, and at the same time protection against them, is becoming established. It’s similar to aviation at the beginning of WWI - first there were “whatnots” and duels between pilots with revolvers and other weights on cables. And after 3 years, coaxial machine guns and maneuverable mass air battles were already used. This is how UAVs will develop.

    If a drone is controlled via a satellite network, it cannot be interfered with - what the hell?
