The director of the Federal Security Service, Alexander Bortnikov, reports that terrorist acts were prevented by members of the special service during the World Cup in Russia. In particular, we are talking about attempts to use dronesequipped with explosive devices. According to Bortnikov, who spoke at the opening of the meeting, in which the heads of special services and law enforcement agencies take part, terrorist attacks of this kind were prevented.

FSB Director: Attempted terrorist attacks with the use of UAVs on the World Cup 2018




Alexander Bortnikov noted that terrorist groups tried to make the victims of attacks by foreign fans, but all the plans of the attackers were thwarted. The director of the FSB noted that, in total, seven groups had been identified that were preparing terrorist attacks in stadiums and other crowded places.

Alexander Bortnikov noted that the current trend towards virtually uncontrolled distribution drones leads to the fact that terrorists begin to use them for their own purposes.

Director of the FSB called for the development of regulations to regulate the use of unmanned vehicles.

Recall that drones were repeatedly used by terrorists to attempt attacks on the Hmeimim airbase. A few months ago, photos with damaged aircraft of the Russian Space Forces were published. According to one version, the militants then carried out a mortar bombardment of the Russian airbase, according to another - they used drones equipped with explosives.

Recently in Russia it was stated that the coordination of synchronized attacks of UAVs at the air base in the province of Lattakia was carried out through the systems of the American anti-submarine aircraft "Poseidon", which can also be used as a coastal reconnaissance aircraft. Its upgraded "stuffing" really allows you to exchange signals with the UAV, including using the mechanisms of determining the coordinates using satellites.

    Well, what can I say - "partners" are such partners that they are just waiting to stick a knife in the back, smiling before our eyes.

      The work of the FSB is admirable. Acts of terrorism are committed in Europe, but prevented in Russia.

        Yeah, and with a delay of almost half a year. It is also necessary to compose something else about the Olympics-80.

    But how much can you believe such information of the special services?
    maybe the shkolota dabbled, or maybe there was something serious.
    I can also say that over the summer I foiled 2 terrorist attacks planned by my cat in the kitchen. sausages are not affected.

    Initially, it was clear that it would not be easy and simple.

      It's like with the opening of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, only a few years later it was reported that a decision had been made to shoot down a civilian plane that had been captured by a "terrorist".
      It's good that everything is resolved.
      PS.
      The FSB should not report to anyone and where and how it neutralized, etc., it’s not so easy with informants and chains, it is better to keep under surveillance than to look for newly created cells.

    The time has come to take tight control over the sale and use of UAVs in the Russian Federation, with the introduction of legislative acts in the Air Code of the Russian Federation.
    They also threaten aircraft flights. Control over them should be like a weapon. Sooner or later, "the thought will think of this." Life will force, but better sooner than, as usual - late. Yes

    I hope the officers who prevented the attacks were encouraged, with ranks or financially, no matter how, the main attention to the people.

    Now all 70 thousand will fall under distribution. DJI owners laughing
    Under the hoofs of a car, 50 thousand die. a year and all the same (aftermarket business)!
    But 15 cases of injuring people with UAV propellers - yes, this is a PROBLEM !!! am
    We will reserve all the DIY pilots and aircraft modellers, when in every city of Russia thousands of hackneyed crooks, beshk, etc. with juvenile killers are chased along the roads !!!
    In our country, the quality of roads has always balanced the number of fools (@ chistadarvin)! laughing

    I understand your sarcasm. But have you ever operated an airplane when a bird hit the "lantern" (this is the name of the windshield of an airplane) or the engine. I am sure - NO. Now every major airfield in the world spends huge amounts of money to scare away birds, in the take-off and approach zones of any aircraft. Even the "invisible" in Israel did not dodge.
    And now imagine that instead of a crow or a seagull, a "man-made creation" of plastic and metal will crash into the plane, into the engine of the plane in which you, or your loved ones
    they fly with comfort, not suspecting that some UAV lover is having fun with his friends at the dacha, near the airfield. Even the Chinese "laser pointers" have created quite a few problems for pilots during takeoff or landing. (Rostov and Vnukovo, 4-5 years ago), after which they introduced control on free trade in this "junk".
    Any UAV is, first of all, a carrier of danger to the civilian population.
    Who, what preparation and in what state is managing it? A man with a gun can be seen firsthand, there is no UAV operator. Therefore, it is not in vain that all the special services of the world are concerned with this very "promising" problem of the 21st century in terror. (This is the problem of mass access to UAVs, in a nutshell) Yes hi

      Officially sold, factory quadrics all have control of restricted areas. Self-made, with a modified autopilot firmware will fly wherever you say. But such and can not be controlled in any way. Each phantom will not be screwed up to check whether their own brains are standing there, or homemade. And in the homemade one - merge the firmware, yes, and study its code?

      You are very far from reality wink
      ALL manufacturers of quadrocopters, which can break the glass or damage the aircraft engine, include in the device software a map of zones prohibited for flights.
      And UAVs just will not start the engines in these areas hi
      And ours are engaged in anonism as always (it’s easier to keep out than to think over a system in which the wolves will be full and the offsets are safe), click :(
      After all, there is egg legislation as a sample from which half is copied!

    Prohibit the sale of drones with a payload greater than a box of matches to individuals and NGOs! At the same time, all kinds of bulkers will stop shooting from above that which is not intended for prying eyes.

    Og, let's get behind the drones all over the drones.
    Bortnikov, it’s strange, why does he plant a kindergarten? Anyone who has a criminal intent will also find drones, as a firearm, BB, electronic surveillance systems are looking for. Restrictions on the use of drones of tarakt will not be canceled, but the mass of citizens in the near future will make life difficult.
    Although, yes, of course, you can understand - there will be a permissive system and sit down "on a deficit" is the sweetest thing for any plane tree.

    And by the way, if I needed to work through the stadium, I would prefer an elementary mortar, rather than fooling around with drones.
