6

The Russian enterprise for the production of drones "Alabuga" plans to increase the production of UAVs of the "Geranium" type to six thousand units per year. This was reported by the American business newspaper The Wall Street Journal. According to the publication, in addition to the Geraniums, the plant also produces other unmanned aerial vehicles for the Russian Armed Forces.

At the end of April, the plant was ahead of schedule, delivering 4500 Geranium-type unmanned aerial vehicles to the Russian army.

– stated in the publication of the publication.



It is emphasized that the enterprise, located in Tatarstan, successfully uses Iranian Technology production of UAVs and will significantly increase production volumes in the near future.

In addition, the company produces Albatross reconnaissance drones, which conduct reconnaissance of Ukrainian Armed Forces positions and movements on the front line.

– emphasizes The Wall Street Journal.

Let us note that the Geranium UAV is rightfully considered one of the symbols of the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. With their help, the Russian Armed Forces attack military installations of the Kyiv regime located in different regions of the country. Recently, in addition to the strike function, the Russian military has been using these drones to open and overload the Ukrainian air defense system.

Let us add that some time ago the Alabuga drone production enterprise was attacked by a Ukrainian UAV. According to experts, this fact indicates the importance of the plant in Tatarstan for the Russian army.

    The Ukrainian Armed Forces have learned to shoot down these Geraniums. Even the Air Force confirms this. Our successes are rockets and bombs. It’s interesting that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have Geraniums, but UAVs regularly bomb our rear areas. Maybe we have Geranium, the wrong system?

    6000:365=16,44 pcs per day. This means that the consumption of Geraniums per day cannot exceed 16 pieces. Question. How many Geraniums must be spent per day to achieve victory over the enemy?

      At the current level of air defense supplies to Ukraine, at least 100 geraniums per day must be used. Well, and accordingly increase all other means of destruction and reconnaissance by a multiple

    Well, they designated it as part of a psychological special operation and don’t care about them. The British are inciting them, and the West is good about psychology because of commercialization... there is no way to sell something unnecessary without psychology.

    Geranium's glider is not bad, if it can be improved a little more, and from a height above 10 km and a release speed of under 700 km per hour, the reach will only get closer due to gliding. to 150 or more km. During gliding, the entire steering system operates and precision is maintained. It will be difficult for the enemy to detect, which means the target’s hit rate will approach one. The cost of Geranium without an engine will decrease significantly. The carriers can be any civilian aircraft, from AN-24, L-410, etc. According to history, in Soviet times, any transport aircraft was designed so that they could become bombers. This means creating a system for attaching Geraniums and others with UMPC to transport vehicles, the problem is solved. The United States has come a long way in this path of using transport workers and has many achievements. So it's time to put it into action

    More UAVs, good and different. You need variety and huge quantities. To suppress air defense, an effective salvo requires at least a min. weekly issue. So consider it.
