A new attempt to attack the Russian air base in Syria

48
On the eve of the Russian air base "Hmeimim" again were used air defense. Representatives of the focal point for reconciliation of the warring parties confirmed the information that the militants once again tried to attack Hmeimim using an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with an explosive device.

According to Major General Alexei Tsygankov, the UAV was launched from the territories under the control of the militants in the province of Lattakia. Territories controlled by illegal armed groups are located in the northern part of Latakia.

A new attempt to attack the Russian air base in Syria

UAV militants intercepted during a previous attack on Khmeimim


From the message of the Russian general:
The airborne target was destroyed by standard anti-aircraft fire weapons at a distance from the air base. There are no casualties or material damage. The Russian Khmeimim airbase functions as planned.


It was previously reported that previous attacks using drones were suppressed with the use of ZRPK "Pantsir".

Militants have clearly stepped up their attempts to attack the Russian air base in recent times. Meanwhile, the Russian aviation together with the Syrian Air Force, for several days, carried out successful combat work in the south of the SAR, delivering a series of attacks on terrorist positions in the Golan Heights. Airstrikes allowed Syrian government forces to take control of several key populated areas and put terrorist groups in Daraa and Kuneitra in such conditions that ultimately they would have to either end the resistance or be destroyed in Syrian sands. There is a third option: someone will decide to evacuate the militants along with equipment to third countries for possible preservation as a tool to achieve their goals.

              Well, judging by the picture of the wreckage, the flight range of this UAV, taking into account the combat load, is not more than 20-25 km. As a result, the controlled areas are rather close ...

        The first super powerful UAV was built in the USSR, the Buran flew into space and landed quietly .. The whole world gasped! And the West urgently launched the project "collapse of the USSR" .. Gorbachev Judah was even awarded a medal in the US Congress ..
        Well, as for Syria, it's mosquito bites .. They’ll check our air defense, but Russia doesn’t burn completely and waits .. everything is fine! Israel is cunning, but the Russians are already aware of their tricks of all ..

        Back in the 80s in the south, I don’t remember one of our peasants set a world record for a model lasting longer than a day. A 3-liter tank was made of millimeter plywood, sanded by a third and pasted with a thin glass cloth on epoxy. Spins in my head, I can’t remember the name of the champion.

      Now easier. Scarf 5x5 cm weighing 6 grams. It has a 6-axis gyroscope according to MEMS technology (a tiny microcircuit, where miniature pendulums with piezoelectric sensors are etched), the same variometers and a 32-bit microcontroller with a personal productivity of the mid-90s. Actually self-propelled guns. It is programmed by an ordinary laptop. Sea support programs and settings are available to any student. Even an unstable flying wing provides any stability-controllability ratio. Everything has changed a lot since Gunther Mil.

        And yes, the “mid-90s personalization” is the 16-bit 386SX, which is where the American program ended (IBM died in 1992). DXs to the West came later than 486DX2. For Acer, despite the markings.

    Israel evacuated White Helmets activists from Syria with their families at the request of a US-led coalition. This information was confirmed on his Twitter microblog by the Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon: “At the request of the United States, Canada and European countries, Israel completed a humanitarian operation to rescue members of the Syrian civilian organization (White Helmets) and their families,” he wrote. clarified that people were transported to a neighboring country. After Putin’s conversation with Trump, wonderful things happen - information from Russia about the involvement of Russia in the crash of Boeing over the country 404 disappears from the website of the US Foreign Ministry, then the Jews take away their breach .. from Syria, everything goes to the point that soon we will have a lot more interesting see and hear.

      Did you determine this by the propeller and mounting frame ?! So they are factory made. And the rest of the two fragments is hidden by adhesive tape - this is not the manufacturer, it is the soldiers who covered up what they are not going to show.
      Actually, the photo shows that this is not homemade.

It’s already obvious that they’re engaging in everything to give the appearance of a handicraftsman, but in fact it’s not a handicraftsman, but an aversion of eyes.
