        I didn’t like it. Type / o cheap series or plain-looking comedy. The film is a complete production. Unloading from an airplane, then from a truck, unpacking, demonstration .. It sucks. It became a shame for the directors and VO that they began to spread such nonsense. Where are the videos and facts of a downed drone? What does the incomprehensible video sequence have to do with it?

      Maybe I don’t understand what in this life? But isn't it too expensive a treat? From guns on sparrows. Is there anything simpler for a drone?

        on the contrary, the UAV is a difficult target for air defense systems because of the small reflective surface and the ability to make fairly sophisticated techniques for avoiding fire from the ground (depending on the model). So, consider this a system check in real conditions.

        This very sparrow can bring serious problems, so everything is justified.

        War is generally an expensive pleasure, in the literal and figurative sense.

        This is the whole problem of UAVs. They are relatively cheap, but it is an incredibly difficult target: small size, low reflectivity, low emissivity of anything at all, and the ability to hang at least at an altitude of 2 km. Mute the connection? A number of models are possible, but the problem is that they can continue to perform the task in automatic mode. Just shoot down, and because of the above qualities, the rocket simply has nothing to visit. And you have to beat them with the most modern anti-aircraft missiles, simply because there is really nothing more. Well, of course, you can collect a bunch of ... 57mm automatic cannons with ammunition with a programmable fuse and shoot down a bunch of bk, but the problem is that they are usually not at hand.

      But isn’t it easier to use electronic warfare against UAVs, since shooting with portable missiles is tantamount to firing sparrows from a cannon. Yes, and much cheaper.

        Well, you apply electronic warfare, well, let's suppress the control signal. And the UAV will continue to carry out the programmed task in automatic mode. So, what is next?

        When it’s crippling, you’ll shoot from the gun by the sparrow, the main thing is that the result is shot down, it’s justified! good

        It was possible, and it was possible to land him, having seized control, BUT - the campaign is not a "predator" and its value is extremely small, it is necessary to shoot down, well, not Su-35, to send him down from guns! Saw - destroyed! All right!

      there are powerful Chinese laser pointers, the network is full of video how they are destroyed by quadrocopters, why not use something like that?

            Laser weapons are not particularly used because of their low efficiency, first of all. Fast scattering, dependence on air conditions, the need for line of sight. A particularly high power of the laser beam ionizes the air, as a result of which the already short range decreases even more. In short, if it made sense, then the USSR was a pioneer in lasers and these weapons would have been used with us since the 70s.

        Chinese laser pointers are really terrible weapons capable of shooting down even geostationary satellites. The only problem is that for their effective use, a carrier based on superman so or iron man laughing

      Hmmm ... Even if we assume that a certain drone was actually shot down, how did they understand that it was precisely the “terrorist drone“ Khayyat Tahrir al-Sham ”(Jebhat Al-Nusra), which was used to adjust the fire of militants in Damascus, quarter by quarter with the Russian embassy? Does Jebhat An-Nusra have any special, unique drones that you can’t confuse with anything? In general, the title of the note is too pathetic.

      Straight tongue removed. There are no other tools to combat drones?

        Americans from Apache can shoot a mujahideen missile, and the whole world screams how cool they are. Hiroshima nuclear bomb - also no questions. Even I do not understand these cries about the high cost of "Willow." You at least tell me your graduation of drones - from what take-off mass will suit you down.
