In Ukraine, showed the test drone "kamikaze" "Thunder"

53

The drone "kamikaze" "Thunder" developed by the Ukrainian NPP Atlon Avia passed the next stage of flight tests. This is a barrage of ammunition that moves with the help of a multicopter and is capable of performing various tasks.

The process of testing the new Ukrainian drone was filmed on video for the Internet resource Defense Express.



Several control modes were tested during the test flight. drone and detection of various targets.

To prevent the prototype from being destroyed, a parachute was mounted on it instead of explosives.


The mass of the warhead of the ammunition is 3500 grams. It can be high-explosive, thermobaric, or cumulative.

The total take-off weight of the device is 10 kilograms. Its speed can reach 120 km / h. An UAV is capable of continuously being in the air for an hour.

An optical station with a powerful camera is able to find even small targets from a height of up to 1,2 kilometers.

Multicopter is not only a means of delivery of ammunition, but also acts as a repeater of control signals and telemetry. This allows you to expand the range of data transmission even in the face of opposition to electronic warfare of the enemy.

          Kamikaze drones are a popular modern weapon.
          A cheap one that even a student can collect.
          As the war in Syria has shown - against layered air defense is useless, but against targets not covered by air defense is very effective.

        You may have forgotten, but the war consists entirely of such tricks, knightly fights have long been in the past. And Ukraine is definitely not worth condemning for this.

        It is necessary to prepare to repel such a threat. Such drones will be tomorrow not only in Ukraine, but also in militants in the same Syria or elsewhere.

            Well then blame Russia for this, too, because non-combatants have put much more out of our weapons.

            But in my opinion it’s not the fault of the developers, but of those who use this weapon, in fact ordinary people who for some time gained power and permissiveness.

        Don't be in a hurry to get upset, this "crazy handles" constructor assembled from Chinese parts, not so much a weapon, but a means of "cutting the budget".

        Not a bad target for "Shilka"


        Shilka has become obsolete for several decades. You can make hundreds of such drones for each Shilka, you get tired of shooting. Moreover, in order to repel the attack, the Shilka will have to be on alert 24 hours a day, and we do not have replacement / reserve crews like Israel has in tanks.

        The drone kamikaze is a serious threat and underestimating it, you can then get another nuisance like in Idlib with UAVs, which we do not have, and Turkey has hundreds of them, I’m not even talking about more powerful NATO countries.

        The system opposing such drones should be automatic, I think, based on a 57-mm programmed to detonate ammunition, so as not to spend a lot of ammunition on one target. Zasek, the computer calculated the range, gave the command to the fuse, the system fired 3-4 shots towards the target and while the shells were flying, it began to capture the target and so many times how many of these drones will be in the air.

        But Shilka was made for a plane or a helicopter, no one expected that there could be a dozen such goals for each ZSU.

          Everything is exactly the same, but without "commands" the fuses can be made for the "Shilok" ...

            Maybe it can. But why? Isn't it more efficient and cheaper to fire a shot from 2-3 57-mm shells, which will be both more accurate and cheaper than a line of 4 barrels of several hundred shells and more powerful and further hit targets than 23-mm Shilka shells.

            Shilka has a lot of dispersion, which was not critical for a target such as an airplane / helicopter at the time it was created, now it has lost its relevance as an anti-aircraft gun even for airplanes and helicopters, and getting into a small drone is a completely different matter, it may take several turns defeat will only be at very close range. Now imagine that there are several such kamikaze drones, and while you are using half of the b / c, 10 more of these will fly at you and 10 are ready.

            The principle of Shilka’s defeat is a cloud of cheap shells, some kind of hit the target (plane, helicopter), and this drone is scanty, it may happen that it won’t get a damn into it.

            Another point is that "Shilka" uses a radar, that is, its position will be visible on the forward edge and it will be hit by an anti-radar missile.

            Therefore, such a system should operate in a passive mode based on OLS as the main mode of operation, and radar only as an additional one and under certain conditions.

              The Shilka has one huge advantage that should not be discounted, if even three barrels fail, it can hit the target exactly, but what happens if the Derivation-SV fails?

                As an example, I have not heard anything in Syria or the Donbas about the successful use of this ZSU against drones.

                And so that the weapon does not fail, it must be serviced.

      The rapid development of combat drones will make the wars of the future similar to the First World War. Then the army buried itself in the trenches and bunkers, fired across the front line with mortars, howitzers and machine guns, since the attacks were useless by their lethality. In the future, soldiers will also sit deep underground and shoot drones across the front line until these drones end. Then they will come up with something else. If there is anyone.

        Moreover, the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean can become the front line, and the dugout can be in a comfortable office.
        But, by and large, the time of controlled drones is running out. In the next war, fashion will be determined by fully autonomous drones that independently choose the target and attack tactics, as well as independently decide on the destruction of the target.

              "Operator" will be a mobile computer network based on the principle of neural connections. Networked artificial intelligence. As you probably know, in the human brain, part of the neurons can be affected, for example, in a stroke. If the lesion is not critical, the rest of the neurons take over the functions of the deceased. The human operator will perform auxiliary functions, since the speed of human thought will not be sufficient to analyze information and take adequate actions.

      From the diaries of Admiral Canaris:
      “I'm not afraid of death. All my life I honestly performed my duty as an officer. My conscience before Germany is clear. I am guilty of only one thing: we all relied on some mythical miracle. We underestimated the Nazis. And insight came too late. And we could not save Germany from the disaster. ”
      Perhaps this is the last entry before the admiral Shelenberg arrived.

      Thus, anti-Semitic sentiments in Poland increased to 48% from 37% in 2015. In Ukraine, growth turned out to be even higher: at present, this view is held by 46% of the population (32% in 2016). "

      Serious and dangerous weapon. Against such systems, it is necessary to make some kind of stationary and autonomous air defense systems. Something like our "Derivation" so that it could detect targets not from a radar but from an OLS and not give itself out and destroy them with 57-mm programmable detonation ammunition.

      It may make sense to make "Derivation" not only on the basis of the BMP, but also, for example, in the form of a trailer to the "Tiger" where the OLS, 57-mm cannon, batteries for autonomous long-term operation with remote control from the "Tiger" car will be placed.

      Such stationary systems would be able to cover the checkpoints of troops and prevent them from being defeated by such cheap and effective types of ammunition.

        Judging / subjectively / from the video, it is unlikely that more than 120-150 km / h. and then downhill with a dive! The propeller is dvukhlopastny, and the electric motor is probably low-speed. With all this, due to the small size, this is a difficult goal! hi

          They write 120 km / h in static, the current is incomprehensible is the speed of a multirotor or ammunition ?!

      They assembled UAVs from a Chinese store and equipped them with a charge. The weak point of such a drone is communication.

      Pretty original solutions, thanks to the author, I would have missed. With the mass production of such ammunition, taking into account the reusable device for raising and launching it, hitting the target will be very inexpensive. What can I say, not the fact that the Ukrainians will take it into service or this is the final option, but I think if the APU will have them in a large enough quantity, then they can make a rustle. It immediately seems to me that the most common will be ammunition variants with cumulative and thermobaric charge (warhead) performance. In the case of a cumulative warhead, by definition, ammunition will attack the target from above, in the least protected areas, and in theory in the case of local and mass production, it will cost less or be comparable to modern ATGMs, but it seems to me to be more effective, as it will allow to destroy for example tanks, still on the march or in areas of concentration, etc. In addition, with mass use, I think the air defense systems will be not very effective and will only slightly reduce effectiveness. Especially, for example, in the East, with all the desire we don’t have to deploy modern anti-aircraft missile systems such as the Shell, by definition, and taken separately it will not be sufficiently effective, or even it will become one of the first targets of such ammunition.

      He began to follow similar developments after the first relative mass use on the territory of the USSR during the next clashes between the armies of Azerbaijan and Armenia in April 2016.
