Small drones for a small army. Switzerland chooses a drone

The Swiss armed forces began flight tests of unmanned aerial vehicles as part of a project to acquire new mini-UAVs for their aircraft, reports TSAMTO with reference to the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper

To equip the aircraft, it is planned to purchase two types of UAVs: quadrocopters weighing less than 6 kg and aircraft type UAVs weighing less than 15 kg. The purchase is scheduled to be completed by 2021 year.

It is known that in tests drones of the aircraft type, the 10,3-kg Orbiter 2B UAV of the Israeli company Aeronautics and the 11-kg Fly Eye UAV of the Polish WB Group take part. Both devices are equipped with electric motors and can be prepared for flight within 5-7 minutes.

To date, small units of the Swiss Armed Forces cannot receive information from larger reconnaissance UAVs.

In April 2017, the Ministry of Defense, Civil Defense and Sport announced a number of the most important defense projects, among which was the delivery of autonomous, easy-to-use portable aerial intelligence systems to equip units of the company, platoon, and group level .

Everything suggests that it is necessary to develop serious equipment for the detection and destruction of unmanned vehicles.

Get ready, dear, to reflect the attacks of mini UAVs ...
Everything goes to the fact that soon a swarm of flies, a flock of birds, a cloud of midges will cause panic among the population and the military alert in the army ...
Preventively chop everything that flies; from comoros, dragonflies, etc. trifles, to birds, like the Chinese sparrows and we go nuts completely.

There are simple effective and inexpensive ways ... For this, forward positions are used as stationary posts in the form of equipment on high masts and are duplicated by airships installed on a leash. This is not for their territory .. when away ... All this information goes to the combat control point, where shift operators are on duty .... with powers and given means of destruction ... By the way, such units of the Combat Information Systems should be used and to control the positional areas ... Why are there no such systems in the area of ​​the Crimean bridge, in Syria and LDN, just surprising ?! But we have a lot of tanks and guns and missiles that don’t know where to shoot and where to go and where the enemy is !!! In terms of modern combat information and intelligence systems, as the basis of modern warfare, our army is in full ass, to say the least ...

A flock of "swarm of flies" is unlikely. No matter how hard the technologists try, it is still impossible to "cram a multi-liter gas tank into a pea." Currently, the smaller the UAV, the smaller the flight radius. An UAV the size of a dove will fly a couple of kilometers, the size of a fly - a hundred meters, not more. Long-range necessarily large. A large target on the radar is visible well.
The danger is not size, but quantity. Fly several thousand reconnaissance, the size of an albatross, you’ll kill all the horseradish. And behind them, the drums, already the size of a small plane, will be bombarded with guided missiles, primarily in air defense, after which they gain air supremacy. Modern computers, receiving signals from a flock of UAVs, will track all the targets on the theater, right down to the individual.
So air defense is not a panacea. We need a complex - air defense, electronic warfare and their own flocks of UAVs (each flock has reconnaissance and strike). Support from space (reconnaissance, weather forecast, map orientation). As well as traditional land - tanks, artillery and others. And all this should work as a single complex.

And what do I have to do with your children's insight and at such a level already technically ... A nursery group ...

By the ministry and the army. And does she (the army) need Switzerland? If only in a special period to protect banks.

And the Pope from the "Roman", from where will he take trained soldiers?

[rotmistr60]

So the Swiss guard probably already lives in the Vatican and the service has become a family contract.

So ..... the service has become a family contract.

Not without it, but there isn’t enough space for everyone and there’s a selection

So the Swiss Guard probably already lives settled in the Vatican

No, they are invited staff there, families in Switzerland

[Lopatov]

According to rumors, the Swiss army in the expanded state is equal in number to American peacetime. And again, according to rumors, Switzerland has one of the most effective reservist training systems in the world.

[Dormidont]

Did you decide to fight with Liechtenstein?

[Sergey985]

Is funny Have you noticed that starting from squad and platoon drones are attached? And we have????

And we are getting ready, we deliver C400 to the troops

The main task of the Swiss UAV is to bring a pack of francs from point A to point B

[Lynx33]

And let the slingshot be chosen instead of the machine.
