Confrontation of the Pantsir-C1 SAM and Turkish UAVs: rehearsal of the wars of the future

203

During the recent battles in Idlib and now in Libya, the outcome of the battles was often decided in the confrontation between Russian air defense systems and Turkish drones. We do not have a complete picture of these events, but based on individual fragments of available information, we can conclude that the struggle was fought with great tension and loss of equipment on both sides. In this article, we will try to analyze, without getting hung up on disputes about the number of downed drones or padded air defense systems, how it happened that yesterday's model aircraft became one of the main means of modern warfare.

UAV tactics


First of all, you need to understand exactly what technique is used against the "Shell" and what tactics are used.



It is well known that in Syria and Libya, Turkish-made UAVs Bayraktar TB2 and Anka were operating against our air defense systems.

Depending on the practical ceiling, modern UAVs are divided into low-, medium- and simply high-altitude. Bayraktar and Anka occupy a mid-high niche with a ceiling of 8200 and 9 m, respectively. High-altitude UAVs Turks are just preparing to take into service.

Anka UAV is a development of a state-owned enterprise, and Bayraktar was created by a talented engineer, “Turkish Sikorsky”, Bayraktar, the owner of a private company. He created his UAV with an emphasis on stealth. We dwell on it in more detail, since it is produced in large quantities (about 200 units are contracted) and is used much more widely. Anka has more EPR and lower stealth, but more ability to install equipment.

Bayraktar TB2 is a strike UAV that can carry guided missiles (up to 4 pcs.), Which can hit targets at a distance of 14 km. It can be equipped with an OLS module with a thermal imager, several daytime cameras and a laser range finder, or alternatively, radar with AFAR with radar aperture synthesis (obtaining a radar image of the earth's surface similar to a photo). It is likely that capture of ground moving targets is also possible. An EW container on Bayraktar is not installed (but can be installed on Anka).

The Turks use UAVs of many configurations, including Anka with EW containers, effectively using the tactics of a swarm of drones, where roles can be distributed: some of the cars interferes, another carries out reconnaissance of targets, and drummers destroy them. Also, for reconnaissance purposes, a low-altitude (at a height of several hundred meters) flight is used with communication with the monitoring station through an unmanned repeater flying at an altitude at a safe distance. Such a radar target will be detected only at a very short distance, from where the drone can attack it with kamikaze-style missiles, as it will be mutually destroyed. So special kamikaze drones can be used.

Shell-C1 vs Bayraktar TB2


An attentive reader has already noticed that the author has not yet touched on such a key point as the EPR Bayraktar TB2. Indeed, without it, it is impossible to analyze the confrontation with air defense systems. I answer a silent question: we ask the EPR as 0.01-0.1 (depending on the angle) for the drone without missiles on the suspension. We make a reservation that Turkish sources do not provide information on the EPR, only indicating that it is very small. On what grounds then do we take these values?

There are several reasons for choosing them:
- in the EPR directories 0.01-0.1 is given for the generation of new drones made by stealth technology;
- The Greeks, who spotted Bayraktar with their radar, gave information about its EPR at the F-35 level;
- the geometry of this UAV shows that it was designed taking into account the reduction of EPR;
- Turks have access to modern RPMs, producing components for F-35;
- With a large ESR, a Turkish drone could not resist our air defense systems.

So, according to Bayraktar, we have all the necessary information, but what about “Shell-C1”? The detection range of targets with an EPR of 2 m2 is approx. 35 km. This means that the Turkish drone of the Pantsir radar will be detected at a distance of 9,3-16,5 km. The range of missiles at the “Shell” is up to 20 km, and its OLS can accompany such targets as Bayraktar, at a distance of up to 12 km. In disputes over the effectiveness of the "Shell" in Libya, the shortcomings of a specific Emirate modification of this system were often pointed out. In our opinion, the nuance is insignificant, which will become clear after reading the article to the end.

The use of drones involves two main types of tasks: reconnaissance and strike. A typical reconnaissance mission of a medium-high UAV is a flight at an altitude of approx. 6000 m. In this case, the Pantsira-C1 radar can detect Bayraktar at a horizontal distance of at least 7,0 km. With the most successful combination of circumstances - at a distance of 15,3 km.

The range at which the “Shell” will be detected by the drone's OLS is not constant, since it depends on many parameters: the degree of illumination, atmospheric interference, camouflage, the configuration of the OLS cameras, etc. The Wescam CMX-15D US military module is installed on Bayraktar. whose capabilities are widely known. This OLS is used in many countries, civilian and military. On Youtube, you can easily find a video of work indicating the range. OLS daytime cameras have maximum reach: for example, a tank-type target, according to some catalogs, can be detected up to 80 km. It is not necessary for us to prove the veracity of this statement; just watch the video with confident guidance from a 20 km convoy of trucks. The quality almost allows you to see in the driver's cab. Obviously, this OLS is significantly superior to the Pantsira OLS and can detect it from outside the radius of the destruction of its missiles (the detection distance with a thermal imager is much shorter - about 12 km). Most likely from outside the radar detection range as well. The CMX-15D is equipped with laser rangefinders with a range of up to 20 km. Accordingly, from 20 km, that is, from outside the scope of the SAM, the UAV has the ability to accurately determine its location. Of course, the work of the OLS depends on atmospheric factors, the level of camouflage, etc., but on the whole we can see that the reconnaissance drone has a chance to detect an air defense system first, which means taking the initiative. Next, an impact drone is activated, which from 14 km will launch inertial-guided missiles / GPS on the air defense system. Laser target illumination is optional (but possible). Much will depend on the training of operators, but it is clear that the outcome of the confrontation is not obvious. Drones have a chance of a very uncomfortable rapprochement with the air defense system. In addition, the Turks often used drones in Syria in swarms and actively supported the electronic warfare systems KORAL and REDET EW. This is despite the fact that the noise immunity of the Pantsir-C1 radar is weak, unlike the Pantsir-SM radar, it is only VFAR and operates at the same frequency (frequencies vary, but in a predictable range). The interference is especially effective when the drone is inconspicuous. There is a direct proportionality between the interference power and the EPR of the target they cover. To mask a stealth drone, you need interference power that is 50-500 times less than, for example, for the MiG-29 with its EPR of 5 m2. Missiles "Shell" do not have GOS and depend on the radar air defense systems. If the radar receives inconsistent data as a result of interference, it will not work to hit the target, even if the target is visible. It’s possible to get there only when the target approaches very close and a small distance eliminates the interference (as we saw in a recent video with a UAV shooting down in Libya at a distance of 4 km).

As for the use of Bayraktar in the radar version, there are a number of advantages over the OLS. The radar scans the terrain with high resolution, and conventional camouflage, smoke, clouds, etc. are not an obstacle for it. On Bayraktar, of course, you can only place mini radar with AFAR like the French Picosar from Leonardo, which is actively exported. Scanning range with a resolution of 1 m - 20 km. With a resolution of 0,3 m, when it is guaranteed to detect the “Shell”, Picosar scans up to 14 km. Anka UAV is equipped with a much larger and more powerful new Turkish radar with AFAR Sarper, the parameters of which we do not know, but it is obvious that it greatly exceeds mini-radars, at least one and a half to two times.

Also, the Turks are experiencing high-altitude drone Akinci, which "Shell-C1" is unlikely to be able to hit in principle. It has a ceiling of 12 km, that is, missiles can get it only much closer than 20 km declared in the performance characteristics. Akinci will be equipped with a full-fledged AFAR radar capable of detecting ground targets much further than the Bayraktar mini-radar, as well as working on air targets. Akinci will be able to use Jdam bombs with a launch range of 28 km, KR (range up to 250 km) and air-to-air missiles. The OLS will also be there much more powerful, capable of detecting ground targets over several tens of kilometers. This is a threat that should be taken seriously.

Conclusions


Obviously, the "Shell-C1" does not meet modern requirements and cannot be used at the forefront against modern weapons. He is too vulnerable. In response to new challenges, we created a new SAM "Shell-SM" with radar with AFAR. In terms of capabilities, it is an order of magnitude superior to the old version - in terms of detection range, noise immunity, firing range and other parameters. At the same time, the air defense system is only a passive means of defense. Passive air defense always loses aviation, since the latter can create an overwhelming local superiority in forces. The threat from the use of drones is not removed by the use of a new generation of air defense systems. The use of radar with synthesizing aperture allows UAVs to detect and hit ground targets from altitudes of more than 15 m (000 m at RQ-18), where they are invulnerable to missiles of the new "Shell" and "Torov". This, incidentally, applies to Bayraktar in the version with a radar: it can rise from the standard 000 m to 4 m of its ceiling, which will reduce the range of missile defense systems.

The war of the 27st century is already at our doorstep. It will be carried out using UAVs, which can be mass-produced, unlike modern aircraft. UAVs from aircraft models have become a formidable force thanks to modern electronics and stealth technologies. They are not stopped by the interference that cost modern communication systems (including satellite) and the placement between the UAV and the control station of the unmanned relay transponder. Drones can hang around the front for days (Bayraktar - up to XNUMX hours), providing reconnaissance of targets (extremely important for targets that can only be hit in a narrow temporary corridor), striking at the enemy, which gives them an advantage over manned aircraft. UAV attacks on air defense systems, regardless of the degree of success, indicate if not air supremacy, then significant presence. This means that other ground equipment was also subjected to numerous blows, and this is unacceptable. The objective of the air defense system is not self-defense, but the protection of ground forces from air strikes. We see that in Libya, pro-Turkish forces are advancing with the support of almost exclusively drones, replacing aircraft. And they come successfully. And in Syria, the predominant use of UAVs foiled Assad’s offensive in Idlib.

There is another important advantage of the use of unmanned aircraft. The attacking side can afford to lose a large number of UAVs during the attack, attacking a swarm of a narrow section of the front. In the event of the destruction of air defense and equipment, the front will inevitably be broken and the losses will be paid off by seizing the initiative and killing the running enemy, as is happening in Libya. UAVs can be produced very quickly, in Turkey only in the aircraft and only Bayraktar TB2 - about 120 pieces. The political damage from the loss of drones is minimal. If even one downed plane is discussed in the society of any state and causes criticism of the leadership, then the loss of even many drones does not have such an effect. The pilots do not die: they shot down "some of our drones there," and okay. To fight off massive raids, you need to create a layered air defense from a variety of air defense systems: it would probably be more cost-effective to use UAVs with explosives, which can also strike at ground forces of the enemy.

Recent events have shown that the development of stealth drone drones, ammunition for them and compact radars with AFAR should be high on the list of priorities in our military construction. Serious attention should be paid to camouflage ground equipment, to introduce RPMs and additional means of camouflage.

        Bayraktar approx. 15 pcs. Anka 2pcs.
        Is this an acceptable loss?

          This is a Turkish sketch.
          I will provide data from Lost Armor, and Aviation Security Network ...
          Here is what is confirmed
          The defeat is actually confirmed
          Application Pantsir S1E An Nuqat al Khams 2020-05-18, shot in a hangar, the machine does not bear visible signs of combat damage. Smoked. With rocket firing it happens. Captured.
          The question arose of why the diaphragms in the non-fired TPK were broken.
          Application Pantsir S1E Al Marqab 2020-05-20, the defeat of the ASP hangar was removed. Then the Pantsyr damaged in a hangar is removed. Clearly, the pictures could have been taken in different places. However, it doesn’t matter - in the photo there is a crumpled armor, covered in a hangar ....

          The question is whether Kamaz on the Trailer should be attributed to the losses, that is, whether it was captured after shooting on the road or burned, for example, later is unclear, there were no obvious signs of fire and serious damage on it. If it pops up at the GNA or pops up again, then we are counting in loss.

          Further, now what is not currently confirmed ... From the word in general, but in applications and extremely muddy photos and video files there is .... The director and director of the crew of the Jews are clearly better.

          Minus - Application for Pantsir S1E Tripoli 2020-02-28why someone decided that the Pantsyr was knocked out is not clear. But the photo target is not recognizable from the word at all. + photo of two strange blots on a microscope slide .. Photos of debris not confirmed.
          Minus - Application for Pantsir S1E An Nuqat al Khams 2020-05-18. - 3 fragment photos taken at point blank of a strange, clouded design. Where is the general view by the way? Does anyone else believe that this is Armor? it's funny!
          Minus - Application for Pantsir S1E Misratah 2020-05-20. Nothing. For what they fired, it is not clear that there is no reliable identification and 9K96 defeat. Photos of the wreckage are not confirmed.
          Minus - Application for Pantsir S1E Al Marqab 2020-05-20. The photographs taken relate to two different places. In the first photo, 9K96 is clearly identified. For the rest of the years. There are no signs of hitting the target. Photos of the wreckage are not confirmed.
          Minus - Application for Pantsir S1E 2020-05-21. The target in the photo is not recognized from the word at all. There are no signs of hitting the target. What they shot at is not clear. Debris photos not confirmed
          Minus - Application for Pantsir S1E 2020-05-21. The target in the photo is not recognized from the word at all. There are no signs of hitting the target. What they shot at and in this case is not clear. Debris photos not confirmed
          Is there anything else on them? If there are debris the status is subject to review.

          Total troops of Haftar reliably lost 2 Armor of the UAE, questioned Armor in Kamaz. There is no confirmation of the defeat and incapacitation of the remaining 6 Armor. That is the result. No matter how the Turks rode.
          This is the result if you are not guided by a double standard - I see there, I don’t see there, but here the herring was wrapped.
          There is also no reliable confirmation of the fact of the defeat of the Pantsyr combat vehicle in Libya, which would be in a combat-ready state ....

          And recall the loss of a GNA UAV
          Libya
          Turkish TB2S losses in Libya as of 06 Jun20
          Total LNA Claim: 78 (w / o; Shutdown)
          (It’s clear that part of the applications is most likely Friendly Fire for their Wing Longs and other flying garbage ..)
          Confirmed Losts (99%): 19
          Probable Losts (90%): 3
          Likely Losts (75%): 4
          Possible Losts: (50%): 7
          Unconfirmed Claims (Probably not realized) (1% -49%): 36
          Fake Claims-Neglected- (0%): 9 (46.2% claims)

          However, all this information for adequate conclusions is still not enough. It is necessary to have information on the course of the fighting and the general losses of the parties. Then, and not earlier, it will be clear whether the air defense of the LNA could solve the tasks or not. The won confrontation with bayraktars does not mean anything in general. Equally, it would be lost.
          Moreover, the claims to Pantsyr were and remain equal in terms of both the concept and, first of all, execution, and, most importantly, the tactical weakness of users ....

          This is according to Turkish data and only in Idlib. According to Syrian data, the BUK-m2e launched 25 missiles on Turkish drones. 20 drones were shot down.
          And the whole article is full of mistakes. Turkish drones without American electronics are nothing. The Turks will be able to release them as much as the Americans allow them, and their Turks will be able to use only where the Americans allow. Also do not forget the control channels. Do Turks have their communications satellites in orbit around the earth?

            In NATO countries, it is commonplace to buy the most advanced products from each other. The Americans will not put any sticks in the wheel of the Turks in this matter, especially on the holy cause of the struggle with the Russians. And the general control channels are normal for a military structure. If you look at any NATO equipment, such a vinaigrette from the countries of manufacturers pops up, the same F35. So how many Turks want so much and will do it, and there will be no problems with accessories or controls.

          The author correctly subscribed ...
          The article is nothing, a bit of Wikipedia on the "declared characteristics" and GLOBAL conclusions. Let's start from the stove: Pantsir-C1 is an element of a short-range air defense system. That is, this system, in principle, should not play the role of global air defense, detect aircraft at large distances and altitudes. For this, there are other elements of an integrated air defense system. For example, aircraft detection refers to the functions of powerful specialized radars, firing targets at high altitudes to medium and long-range air defense systems. The shell, however, should cover these air defense systems and the most important infrastructure from aircraft that broke into its zone of action. And cover not alone, but as part of a battery (3-5 vehicles) with data from early warning radar and command post !!! In this system, the need to destroy the Armor instead of hitting the protected object is already a win!
          Using the Pantsyr alone standing alone in the middle of the desert is idiocy or an extreme emergency measure. With relative proximity to the front, such a Pantsyr after detection can simply be destroyed by artillery fire without the participation of drones. And when moving away from the front, its range is not enough to cover its forces ...
          The misuse of the Shell is the only reason for their loss.

        data float in different directions, the truth like a snake's legs you will not find.

        In fact, the author pointed out the main advantage of Bayraktar over the Shell.
        An American military module, the Wescam CMX-15D OLS, is installed on Bayraktar, the capabilities of which are widely known. Obviously, this OLS is significantly superior to the Pantsira OLS and can detect it from outside the radius of the destruction of its missiles (the detection distance with a thermal imager is much shorter - about 12 km). Most likely from outside the radar detection range as well. The CMX-15D is equipped with laser rangefinders with a range of up to 20 km. Accordingly, from 20 km, that is, from outside the scope of the SAM, the UAV has the ability to accurately determine its location

        That's the whole answer - put on the Shell OLS more powerful than on Bayraktar and that's it, the situation will change exactly the opposite ....
        On the Shell there are reserves of building up the OLS - but on Bayraktar it is not, due to its size.

          The armor is corny more and heavier, but it also has more energy at times, which means a more reasonable option is to increase the capabilities of radar detection and CCS to increase the radiation power, and improve signal processing ..
          By the way, the presence of a propeller, albeit shaded on Bayraktar, does not reduce "invisibility", but on the contrary. Its EPR is clearly not less than that of a Harpoon-type anti-ship missile, which in turn is approximately equal to 0.2-0.25 sq.

          This is not an answer or a necessity. If the Armor is used as it should, as part of a battery, it uses data from the early warning radar 1rl-123e and screening out interference at the command post. Therefore, the "drone" flies into a precisely calculated sector in the warm embrace of 3-5 combat vehicles. And to bomb a BM standing in the middle of the field without a crew is not an indicator ...

      Quote: Alexey Sommer
      From myself I will add on the question. Treat like the like, old Latin wisdom. UAVs need to be fought with UAVs.

      And here I do not agree. The conduct of armed confrontation is not a one-on-one knightly duel. And all issues must be resolved COMPLETELY, with the condition that if one of the elements fails, then the others should work. So with any UAVs and in general with all deadly flying objects it is necessary to fight comprehensively. And this means for Syria and Libya the ability to create a focal integrated air defense system, which should be provided with both UAV strike systems and air defense and electronic warfare systems.
      Obviously, the "Shell-C1" does not meet modern requirements and cannot be used at the forefront against modern weapons.
      And when was it planned to use this complex on our own, and even at the forefront? It has always been considered by us as a system of object air defense, which is included in the general air defense system.
      Now we just need to draw conclusions, in particular, such that it is necessary to create loitering UAV-Fighters, that it is necessary to carry out a full modernization of both the Pantsir ZPRK and the Tunguska ZPRK and turn it into the Shilka ZPRK ZSU, improve the ZPU " Derivation - SV ".

        Actually, never, and generally I don't like rocket-gun mutants. More appropriate seems to be the decision to make batteries as part of missile armor (up to 18 missiles in launchers, as in the Arctic) and ZSU. As an option, 4 air defense systems and 2 air defense systems as part of the battery. For as regards the application of cannons to the Armor, I have heard negative reviews several times precisely on the basis of the results of the combat application of cannons.

        Wrong, because he 1) does not know that MAM-C and MAM-L ammunition are capable of hitting a moving target from only 8 km. Naturally, when signs of the presence of UAVs appear in the area of ​​the air defense system, they should be set in motion. If the crew didn’t do that, what does the Pantsir have to do with it? 2) most importantly, the RCS of the UAV was taken from the ceiling and lowered by an order of magnitude. Mini UAVs launched from catapults have such a signature, and here we are talking about medium ones. The 1RS1-1E radar for a KR-type target has a tracking range of 14,5 km. And the EPR of a cruise missile, in any case, is smaller than Bayraktar, especially Anka. 3) OLS, or rather TVP, almost does not depend on the weather. Only heavy snowfall or tropical rain can make it difficult to work. What can not be in Libya. On the Arab complexes there are French TVP SATIS XLR with a matrix of 640x512 (optional 1280x12024). Exactly the same as on the Wescam CMX 15D. 4) Further, he speaks of the insignificance of the difference between the Arab S-1. But a later version with 1PC2-E radar hits the E95 target without additional reflectors from 23 km. This is 0,15 sq. m. According to the most rough estimates, TB2 is 3, and "Anka" is 5 times more. 5) UBLA is controlled remotely. He sends radiation into the air every second. Therefore, the direction finding in the passive mode of operation of the air defense missile system at any distance. More precisely, it depends on the radio horizon - the altitude of the UAV and the air defense missile system on the ground. For example, if the height of the air defense missile system antenna is 5 m, and the altitude of the UAV flight relative to it is 5 km, then the latter can be tracked at a distance of up to 300 km. Thus, anti-aircraft gunners always know the position of the UAV long before entering the active radar zone.

          Well, you write nonsense.

          Naturally, with the appearance of signs of the presence of UAVs in the area of ​​air defense systems, they should be set in motion.


          This is if there are signs. And if the air defense system is set in motion, it will be automatically destroyed. Both the radar and the radar will capture the moving target quickly and naturally.

          And the EPR of a cruise missile, in any case, is less than the Bayraktar,


          1m2 EPR cr. Too expensive to reduce their EPR. It’s just a metal pipe, and Bayraktar is entirely made of composites.

          the late version with 1RS2-E radar hits the E95 target without additional reflectors from 23 km

Therefore, we read this: The small-sized air target E-95 (as part of the complex) is designed to simulate subsonic remotely piloted aircraft, cruise missiles, planning air bombs, helicopters and attack aircraft. With a starting weight of 60 kg (length 2,1 m, wingspan 2,4 m) and a flight speed of 380-410 km / h, the target can fly according to the program for 22-40 minutes. over a range of 200 km in the altitude range of 200-3000 m. Own EPR of the target is 0,15, with an angular reflector - 1-1,5 and with a Luneberg lens - 7,5 sq.m. And then we watch the video from 0:40.

What may be poorly visible at some lengths and frequencies is always perfectly visible at others. The direction of exposure is also very important. As an example, let's look at the chart. At 2,5 GHz, the difference between metal and plastic practically disappears. Taken from the article "Mini-drone EPR analysis". I recommend reading it.

                As I understand it, my remark “to set in motion” is associated with retreat. Have you never heard that the latest generation of air defense systems of the latest generation operate in motion? How is the combat work of the complexes and tactics of object-based air defense? Questions are rhetorical. And so it is clear that no. Or they wouldn’t write such a game. I would gladly consult with a more competent person, but unfortunately, I have not met such people for a long time. It is useless to contact the military.

                Yes, at least from what post. Moreover, in the VHF and UHF bands, on which almost all government agencies in the world work, it is very difficult to find a free and stable window. Neither can I do an additional search, even already identified targets, much less attack AI so far. The “shell” should not shine the radar at all before launch. For this there is a "Furke" - 0,1 sq.m with 70 km. If it is not, which in itself is a big jamb, one of the battery machines takes over this function. The rest use passive mode and OLS. EW is a separate issue. But since it came in, the SAM, in view of the dimensions, has a much greater potential power to suppress than the UAVs limited in energy. Although, there are stupid people who believe that the container with the "Khibiny" on the Su-24 could drown out the "Aegis" of the American destroyer. With a difference in power ten times in favor of the latter.

                  Far from it, it is simply safe along the front line that this can only be done while retreating. Modern UAVs of an UAV can detect a moving target for tens of kilometers in the afternoon, radars with sar will also detect a moving target and capture it. There are no good solutions for front-mounted air defense systems against modern UAVs. I will touch on this point in the second part.

                  What I think about the ols shell mode, I already wrote to you. But Furke will have to cover herself from missiles. You won’t place it near the front; artillery works there. It is necessary to protect from harm and not the fact that it will turn out. But this is not the main thing. The shells are unable to defend the troops at the forefront, in fact, like Thor. The enemy can freely drive drones along the front line, disrupting the supply and destroying equipment, but they can’t reach them. And for 20-30 km they can scan the front end. So the shells already get it when the front is already broken. Therefore, we find them in the hangars and on the march lined. But enough spoilers.

                  As for interference, in the presence of afar shell can crush radar is not afar. But everyone already has afar. And stealth drones need minimal interference power, which I wrote about.

                    SAM MD, in contrast to short-range, are not on the front line. They are at least 5-7 km away from the front line. From the ground forces, they can only be threatened by long-range artillery, but it is unrealistic to cover its fast-moving target. SARs really see moving targets well, only they do not distinguish a civilian vehicle from a military one, an armored personnel carrier from a tank or an air defense system. And on TB2 they are not. OLS is not the best search tool. With a wide field, nothing further than your own nose is visible, but with a narrow one ... Calculate how long it takes to view an area of ​​at least 10 square meters. km, if at a field of 1 degree at a distance of 10 km. the width of the area being viewed is 174 m. I will add that the area is not a table. It has a lot of details overlapping each other, even when observed with excess. I already wrote that the export C-1 is equipped with one of the best TVPs in the world - SATIS XLR. He sees a person 8 km away. The IR signature of an average UAV is 3 times higher. For non-targeted interference, namely, such are needed to suppress UAV control channels, the type of antenna does not matter. At least a pin. Aviation has no solutions against modern air defense systems. Naturally, with a more or less reasonable parity of quality and quantity of manpower and resources. Launchers can be camouflaged with terrain and radio heat dissipation networks, and aircraft, like a louse on a bald head, are always visible. "Toram", thanks to the new missile 9M338 with AR GOS, even the active mode when firing can be omitted. "We fired off five missiles at very difficult targets (Osa-Saman missile), of which three were shot down by direct missile hits on the missile, that is, head-on. The rest of the targets were also hit by a shrapnel stream of missile warheads." RCS "Samana" 0,5 m. Result: "During the entire presence of the Russian military in Syria, 45 homemade drones were destroyed using the Tor air defense systems." A homemade drone is a small quadcopter, like a toy helicopter or airplane the size of a model airplane. Of course the early warning radar needs to be covered. And this is task number 1 for the air defense system. Because thinking that several single MD complexes can provide serious air defense in a combined arms battle can only be a madman.

    The conclusion is that there are living people inside the "Shell". And drones are tin cans without a crew. We lose the "Shell" - we lose people, and if we lose a drone, in a minute we can lift another one into the sky.
    If there is, of course.
    All the ranting about the price of the issue is unethical. The loss of hundreds of high-tech drones will not "recoup" even one human life.
    Therefore, drones must fight with drones. But during World War I, a division into aircraft types occurred: scouts, bombers, and fighters appeared.
    Why is this so unobvious for drones?
    We need high-speed, maneuverable drones-fighters to deal with such "Anks" and "Bayraktars". Fighters with powerful long-range weapons and sensitive radars.
    And a whole class of pilot operators, sharpened to detect, intercept and destroy the inanimate flying aggressor.

      The OLS is used not for search, but for aiming weapons - that is, after receiving intelligence the vehicle goes to the specified area and already through the ECO carries out additional reconnaissance at the place (if the target is mobile) after which the weapons are used, this is how attack aircraft (attack aircraft, anti-aircraft, bombers) work ) USA. Conducting ECO reconnaissance over long distances is delusional nonsense - who and what will process the received information? Well this is not GlobalHavk with an awesomely powerful onboard computer.

    Thanks to the Turkish comrades. Deprived of some illusions. So you can only rely on the shell when you are at war with self-made model aircraft, such as barmaley. And then with caution. And without its high-quality drones, maybe "anti-drones - kamikaze", the shell won't help ...

    If the shell is one or the most powerful weapon in the air defense system, then of course it will not last long, another matter if it works in conjunction with more serious weapons, for example, beech or S-300.

    The author is not aware that the Shell is an object missile defense system and its task is to catch missiles, RSs, etc., and not carriers. That is why the Shell is low noise immunity simply because he does not need it, he should not be in battle formations.
    Next, how to resist UAVs - yes, just layered air defense-missile defense with an air component. Powerful ground-based radars calmly detect such UAVs at a great distance, like F35 type aircraft and fighter aviation enters their interception. That is, everything is old and banal as the world - whoever captures air superiority wins.
    Well, the third would be like the U.S. army was fighting in this case - it’s just like in Iraq and Yugoslavia, it would interfere with battle orders, cut out radars (KR and PRR), destroy fighter aircraft, after which attack aircraft and attack helicopters burst into the clear sky ( which are many times more effective than even American Ripper UAVs). The whole war is over - the main forces of the enemy are broken, the rippers circle 24/7 in the sky in search of lonely unfinished enemy groups.
    In a word - another article examining a spherical horse in a vacuum. UAVs can be used only if domination in the air - otherwise it is a simple target that will be guaranteed to be destroyed by almost any hawk, even 50 years ago.

    I have a number of questions in connection with this:
    1) Where is the effective operation of our highly qualified electronic warfare equipment against these UAVs? Are we waiting for something or ...?
    2) A tool designed to deal with UAVs, in general, according to your calculations, it is ineffective against them, and in terms of price to loss the issue can be even more frightening. This despite the fact that the Turks, although they make good UAVs, they have far from perfect competence in this matter and their devices will obviously be inferior to the developments of Israel or the United States.
    3) As far as I understand, the main problem now is not to bring down such a device, but to detect it in time. This will require a more powerful radar, in turn, this will increase the cost of the design with it, and vice versa - the ESR of drones will only decrease, and their price will also decrease, due to serialization and modularity. I already see the impasse of this concept, because the defending side is spending many times more expenses and losing maneuver ..

      1. The importance and effectiveness of electronic warfare is greatly exaggerated. Protecting your communication channels is one of the components of electronic warfare, and the organization of protection measures is much cheaper and easier than suppression.
      2. Bayraktar is an extremely mediocre UAV at the level of the late 90s, their main plus is that they are.
      3. UAVs a new goal for air defense, with which you need to learn how to deal. It is different from previously created. This is not a fighter, not a rocket, not an attack aircraft, not a helicopter. The UAV has a different performance characteristics from all previously created products.

        It's hard to call it straight "new", because UAVs have been living since the mid-1970s, but if you don't like this archaic, then at least since the mid-1990s all this has existed in a more or less modern sense - with GPS, cameras, avionics.
        Some time ago, it was fashionable for us to paint our electronic warfare systems as the best in the world and as an effective means of combating UAVs and guided ammunition - and I could not pay attention to the fact that they somehow got quiet on this topic.
        There was a lot of noise when Iran intercepted a super modern UAV of the United States (evil tongues used to say that it was not without our help) - when all these laws on civil regulation of UAVs were recently introduced, there was also a lot of mincemeat on how easily it is intercepted and jammed by wondrous domestic van derwafles -and now I see that bullshit, it was all, it should not deliver, but it does. It was not worth running ahead of the engine.
        I understand that in Syria the terrain is difficult from the point of view of the effectiveness of the shells and the proximity of the Turkish border with all the UAV’s support kit - but we also have a lot where the borders are not perfect, a bit annoying ..

    Absolutely amateurish analysis.
    The RCS of the drone is taken from the ceiling and is taken as a constant value, the author calculates the detection range by simple division (that is, he does not know the basic radar equation), as well as any data on the characteristics of the Pantsir radar are completely absent in the article. The author, apparently, does not know about the multichannel nature of the complex (including when guiding missiles). And the main argument in the article is the word "Obvious".
    Knowing neither the characteristics of the UAV, nor the characteristics of the "Shell", the author undertakes to reason about something and draws far-reaching conclusions.

    PS By the way, a radar with AFAR is installed on the Emirati modification of "Pantsir C1", but this does not mean at all that it is better than "Pantsir C2", on which a radar with a passive phased array is installed.

    Of course, I know better from the couch, but in my opinion the type of UAV that Turkey operates is a dead end and why: these UAVs are capable of influencing the outcome of a battle, but only if they are not opposed by a normal air defense system. Turkey Bayraktar TB2 about 120 pcs, and how much they lost in Syria and Libya? At least a few dozen, which means that a couple of weeks of sluggish hostilities nullify the existence of a UAV fleet in an average European country. On the other hand, there is another concept: a large UAV carrier of planning bombs: such an apparatus is certainly several times more expensive than small and medium-sized counterparts, but it is able to fulfill all the same roles without entering the air defense coverage area. And this feature of them makes them much more promising than the devices that Turkey showed in Syria and Libya.
    T.O. as soon as such a program appears in the Russian Federation with reference to the S-70 "Hunter":
    https://iz.ru/975885/anton-lavrov-aleeksei-ramm/grom-pobedy-udarnye-drony-unichtozhat-raketnye-kompleksy-protivnika - можно будет считать что РФ ликвидирует отставание от лидеров в этой области.

Does anyone out there have normal air defense? Only in Israel. Are Bayraktars designed to overcome air defense? No. 50 kg serious combat load? No. Why are bairaktaras made? For police operations, border conflicts, control of impassable and remote territories, counter-terrorism operations, etc. well, certainly not for full-scale wars.

    The author, this is not the Shell is so bad, it is used incorrectly. Although AFAR, even ROFAR, the result will be the same. The enemy uses various forces and means and succeeds. If Haftar’s troops likewise would have had electronic warfare, a powerful surveillance radar, and at least Buki in the first echelon and Carapace at the end, UAVs would fall like leaves in the fall until Buk ends in BC.
    Another thing is that on completion it is desirable Derivation with projectiles with controlled detonation (even uncontrolled ones), a small radar (such as a module from "Afganit") and the possibility of using Arrow missiles or at least Verba - then yes.

    The answer is simple, drones should not fly over an army like the Russian one. UAVs require a significantly wider communication channel than any manned vehicle. Therefore, the electronic warfare of a developed army must completely interrupt communications.
    The second way is the creation of fully autonomous unmanned fighters, which these drones must destroy. Having no communication channel with the earth at all

    Hello, uv. author! I read your article and could not resist .... I have this question for you, for some reason you emphasized the confrontation between air defense systems and controlled UAVs, and why? Are future wars limited to that? Just imagine, the Libyan, well, or the Syrian desert, in which a certain object is located, for example, a refinery or warehouse .... let's say chemical weapons. The object covers, say, 10 air defense systems "Shell-1E", and 10 air defense systems "Buk-M2E". For some, the task is to cover the object, while for others, to destroy it accordingly. Now imagine that those who want to destroy him are driven to this object at a distance of even 120 km. ten MLRS installations with 24 guides, and an ordinary reactive blank is used as the RS in which additional fuel cells are added instead of warheads. The main thing that she flew these 120 km. Before launch, let's say 10 Bayraktar TB2 with a full ammunition load and two Anka-S with EW containers and other nishtyaks rise. Here they raise the rails and release 240 RS-kamikaze. While they are flying, the crews reload the units, after reloading they launch the next batch. The air defense of the object begins to repulse the attack, but Anka-S fixes everything. And then it turns on its electronic warfare system and Bayraktars go on the attack. How do you think will succeed or attackers fail. And if they tolerate, then who do you think will suffer more financially?

    A very biased article with praise of Turkish weapons in general and praise of unmanned aircraft in particular!
    The article is one-sided, as it extols drones, in particular Bayrakter and does not indicate their shortcomings, so the analysis turns out to be so-so.
    Bayraktar created by a talented engineer, "Turkish Sikorsky”, Bayraktar, owner of a private company. He created his UAV with an emphasis on stealth. We dwell on it in more detail, since it is produced in large quantities (about 200 units are contracted) and is used much more widely.

    Here is an example of praise! Where is the criticism? Sorry, the author did not find! It turns out something in the spirit of Oleg Kaptsov! Only there is all the American flying best, you have Turkish!
    Now essentially.
    1. The author writes that the Bayrakter is noticeable at the F35 level! At the same time, he refers to some kind of data from the Greeks, for whom it is unclear what radar stations and it is not clear at what distance they tracked him!
    To be honest, this statement is in great doubt! Demagogy from the demagogue.
    The bairakter has a larger wingspan than the German Me-109, and the wing geometry is like the military pistons of World War II! Where is the F35 ??? What is stealth based on?


    Where does the Turk have special geometry that scatters radar rays? The weapon weighs on an external sling!
    In general, it is somehow debatable!
    2. The author claims that the OLS of the Turk is better than the OLS of the Shell, but does not clearly explain why this is so! In addition, why is the shell painted in the color of sand standing among the mass of other objects more visible than a piston fly flying in the clear sky? Unclear how? But if the sky is not clear, then how can the UAV from behind the clouds be able to see something below?
    3. The author somehow shies away from the question of comparing radar.
    On Bayraktar, of course, you can only place mini radar with AFAR like the French Picosar from Leonardo
    Here he does not further develop this topic, although it is clear that the ground-based radar in the air defense system is potentially more powerful, since the ground-based station is not limited by the size of the device since the UAV. This means that the air defense system can potentially have a much stronger radar, which will give it an advantage in the battle with drones in any weather.
    4. The author does not take into account that the Carapace is capable of shooting down rockets launched into it, even if the drone caught him aback! What UAV can hardly boast of and having a speed of 220 km per hour, the piston box will be easily shot down!
    5. The author gives the UAV advantage in advance, as it gives them a numerical advantage, organized tactics, support for electronic warfare, but does not take into account air defense responses, the organization of which also provides for mutual cover, separation, and support for electronic warfare. It turns out that the air defense is in the minority and disunity from the beginning, as if they were commanded by dumbasses and UAVs by smart guys. Hollywood and more!
    6. UAV control is carried out at a distance and therefore the issue of intercepting their control and jamming is still relevant! Therefore, it’s too early to praise this pseudo wunderwafel!
    7.
    The war of the XNUMXst century is already at our doorstep. It will be carried out using UAVs, which can be mass-produced, unlike modern aircraft. UAVs from aircraft models have become a formidable force thanks to modern electronics and stealth technologies.
    Such a statement is too far-fetched! What can a swarm of UAVs do if a modern jet aircraft represented by SU35 acts against them ??? They are simply stunned, so UAVs can be used only where there are no modern aircraft, that is, against an initially weak enemy. A piston can’t fight SU 220 or SU 35 at a speed of 30 km per hour! UAV is a means of anti-terrorism or anti-rebel war! No more so far. At least not with the bayrachter.
    8.
    Since the beginning of this year, according to open sources, 54 shock UAVs have been destroyed on the one hand and about nine Armor complexes on the other. Many UAVs were destroyed by the "Shells", and the "Shells", in turn, were destroyed by drone strikes.
    - the cost of one export ZRPK “Shell-C1” is about 14 million US dollars;

    - UAV Bayraktar TB2 has a cost of 5 million US dollars (high minds have calculated this cost per unit from the contract for the supply of these systems to Ukraine).

    Total: LNA allies lost 84 million dollars and the Turkish military lost 270 million dollars. When calculating the maximum losses (54 UAV units) we get absolutely deplorable losses for Turkey.

      - Somehow historically there was a lag in all types of electronics in Russia, including the optical one. Do you have a Russian TV at home? Computer? Your smartphone Camera? Camcorder?
      4. In addition, why is the shell painted in the color of sand standing among the mass of other objects more visible than a piston fly flying in a clear sky? Unclear how?
      =================
      “Have you seen this picture many times?” Rate it?
      https://youtu.be/DuPjZrEn7Bw
      5. But if the sky is not clear, then how can the UAV from behind the clouds see something below?
      =================
      - Then the IR mode is turned on, it allows you to see through thin clouds.
      6. Here he does not further develop this topic, although it is clear that the ground-based radar in the air defense system is potentially more powerful, since the ground-based station is not limited by the size of the device since UAVs. This means that the air defense system can potentially have a much stronger radar, which will give it an advantage in the battle with drones in any weather.
      =================
      - That's right, the only question is: who made the product and where? Here is a mobile version of the Israeli "Iron Dome", this one does not leave wounded animals:

      7. The author does not take into account that the Carapace is capable of shooting down rockets launched into it, even if the drone caught him aback!
      ==================
      - Sure! If in time a) he sees; b) gets.
      8. The author gives the UAV advantage in advance, as it gives them a numerical advantage, organized tactics, support for electronic warfare, but does not take into account air defense responses, the organization of which also provides for mutual cover, separation, and support for electronic warfare. It turns out that the air defense is in the minority and disunity from the beginning, as if they were commanded by dumbasses and smart UAVs.
      ===================
      - Here, again, there are no universal criteria. It all depends solely on the performance characteristics of both the UAV and the SAM. No miracles.
      9. UAV control is carried out at a distance and therefore the issue of intercepting their control and jamming is still relevant! Therefore, it’s too early to praise this pseudo wunderwafel!
      ===================
      a) satellite control of a highly directional antenna - ground-based electronic warfare systems are not choked;
      b) a highly secure cipher control channel.
      10. Such a statement is too far-fetched! What can a swarm of UAVs do if a modern jet aircraft represented by SU35 acts against them ??? They are simply stunned, so UAVs can be used only where there are no modern aircraft, that is, against an initially weak enemy. A piston can’t fight SU 220 or SU 35 at a speed of 30 km per hour! UAV is a means of anti-terrorism or anti-rebel war!
      ====================
      - You are very behind the times: already we are talking not only about UAV-strikers with speeds under 1000 km / h, but also UAV-stealth fighters, which make it possible to establish real dominance in the sky. The Americans are doing this now. The program, which on the simulator allows you to twist any ace in any battle, even in the distant, at least in Dogfight, already exists and works. And the car here is already better than man.

        It is based on the manufacture of its airframe (wings, fuselage, plumage) from carbon fiber - the same as the ones that make up the skin and most of the F-22 and F-35 gliders.

        Making carbon fiber is not enough to be invisible to the radar. If this were so, then the Americans would simply build all their air equipment in this way, but they combine it with special forms such as a flying wing and make special corners of the body that scatter rays !!! But this is not enough, because the locator even sees a flying bird in the sky! And F 22 and F 35 are visible on our locators, so the Americans could not win in the end in Syria! All they showed were tomahawks volleys, which this time did not bring them victory!
        The tail of the Turk is nothing like the tail of F22, F35 or SU57 !! Here they have it similar, like the fuselage of the plane itself! But the Turk does not!
        In addition, the Turk weighs all weapons on the wings !!! And it’s not made of plastic! All stealth it is inside!
        2.
        Somehow historically there was a lag in all types of electronics in Russia, including the optical one. Do you have a Russian TV at home? Computer? Your smartphone Camera? Camcorder?

        I don’t know what happened there, but everything is changing historically! History is not a frozen mammoth! This is a process. Go to the Schwabe website !!! You are behind the times! Throw old cliches! We have long made a qualitative step forward in optical systems! But most importantly, if our systems are so bad, then why did the Turks buy C400 from us ?? Can you answer?
        3. https://youtu.be/DuPjZrEn7Bw I saw the picture. Cheap Turkish advertising on how to defeat an enemy who has no air defense!
        4.
        This is true, only the question arises: who and where made the product? Here is a mobile version of the Israeli "Iron Dome", this one does not leave wounded animals:
        Are you an advertising officer for Israeli weapons ?? Is this the hocus pocus?
        5.
        Sure! If in time a) he sees; b) gets.
        That is how it should be! This system is a hunter for flying targets, like a duck hunter! And if she attacks Bayrakter there is no chance! And our system has a chance to bring down a rocket!
        6.
        It all depends solely on the performance characteristics of both the UAV and the SAM. No miracles.

        Not only from technology, but from the one who controls this technology! From the ability to fight, from the amount of this technique, too! You think too narrowly!

        7.
        satellite control of a highly directional antenna - ground-based electronic warfare systems are not choking;

        Why do you think so??? Do you have any evidence? If the signal comes from outside, it can be suppressed! You can not crush the pilot's hand inside the aircraft! Not yet!
        highly encrypted radio control channel.

        8.
        While protected or until we showed everyone that we hacked it!
        You are very behind the times: already we are talking not only about UAV-strikers with speeds under 1000 km / h, but also UAV-stealth fighters, which make it possible to establish real dominance in the sky. The Americans are doing this now. The program, which on the simulator allows you to twist any ace in any battle, even in the distant, at least in dogfight, already exists and works. And the car here is already better than man.

        It was about the article! And it talked about Turkish UAV Bayrakter! And here are the development of supersonic UAVs, which are not yet, but they are being developed? What the Americans do there, you still need to look! You replace the thesis, and this is a logical mistake! The Turk is not American, subsonic is not supersonic! Do not replace the concept!
        That's when in reality such things will be fought then we'll see! I did not lag behind life! I keep up with her, and you try to get ahead of her with your fantasies! Don't say gop until you jump over! We are also working on the UAV Hunter, it is supersonic, but so far this is not a ready-made machine and it will most likely be at war in conjunction with SU 57, that is, under the direction of a man! Soon you, my friend, throw yourself in the trash. Man created the technique, he knows how to destroy it! Do not exaggerate the importance of yourself and technology!

        Then the IR mode is turned on, it allows you to see through thin clouds.

        That is, you want to say that the shell in an ambush with the engine turned off emits more heat in the infrared engine than a piston aircraft engine working in the sky? Or the UAV created by the future will fly without generating heat and it will not be visible in the infrared ???

          - The UAV engine a) emits very little heat; b) the exhaust gases are immediately dispersed by the propeller and, due to the speed of the UAV, immediately dissolve in large volumes of air, so its visibility from the ground is extremely low.

            Bayrakter TV 2 is equipped with a Rotax 912 engine - a family of four-cylinder horizontally opposed reciprocating internal combustion engines.

            Here so here!
            And any internal combustion engine is heated during its operation! And it's not about gases !!! He's just hot inside the plane and that's it! Therefore, it is clearly visible in the IR range. Do not soar your ears!

    We need not missiles, but electronic warfare equipment. He launched EMP (electromagnetic pulse) and burned all the UAV electronics for nafig. I think the future of air defense is precisely with systems with electromagnetic radiation.

    the author has inaccuracies and errors - like fleas on a dog. For example, the EPR of Bayraktar is taken from "Turkish sources". They said a lot. OLS capabilities are also doubtful. That the smoke screen does not work in the radar range - who told him that? firing range 14 km - where is this from? so far they are writing this -. MAM-C: ammunition mass - 8,5 kg; warhead weight 2,5 kg, length - 1000 mm, diameter - 70 mm. Target destruction range: from 500 m to 8 km.
    The high-precision small-sized ammunition (bomb) MAM-L (SMM - Smart Micro Munition) weighing 22 kg, developed by the Turkish company Roketsan specifically for use with UAVs, is actually a “trimmed” version of the Roketsan L-UMTAS ATGM (weight 37,5 kg,) with removal sections of the rocket engine and equipping with a laser semi-active guidance system. Ammunition length 1 m, caliber 160 mm. A warhead weighing 10 kg can be of two types - high-explosive fragmentation or tandem cumulative. It is stated that when dropped from a significant altitude, the flight range of the MAM-L exceeds 8 km.

    By the way, the presence of a propeller, albeit shaded on Bayraktar, does not at all reduce the "invisibility" but on the contrary.

    - You are mistaken: for decent UAVs, the screws are made of fiberglass, radio-transparent in nature. EPR they do not increase ... smile

    I didn't understand: the UAV was made for a million dollars to hit the inexpensive PANTSIR air defense system? The author of the arguments: maybe, most likely, etc. in respect of precision technology, which air defense is, cannot be used. So you will prove that an elephant is less than a fly !!! Study the subject deeper and you will be happy ...

    Author "Demagogue" Please explain why you are considering a complex of measures of attack, using an overlay on one, only complex "Shell". Or you can give you introductory information: 1. Arrangement of air barriers in especially dangerous directions from the composition of ancient tethered balloons with grenades on cables. 2. And if you cover the area with electronic warfare means. 3. And if we use means of destruction of launchers, according to the results of reconnaissance and target designation. 4. And if we use medium and long-range air defense systems, for which the "Shell" is the last defense. 5. And why not use target designation from RTV means, they suddenly got lost where? Without seeing the whole picture, you are like a shitty woman who cuts a new skirt to patch up an old skirt, while you wonder why everything is so bad and behind.

    And the Shell that fights alone, without reconnaissance means, other complexes? And the means of countering the drone-ground intercepting signal do not exist? The whole article is a tale about the struggle of drones against lonely Shells in the hands of savages.

    The relationship between Russia and Turkey is the personal relationship between Putin and Erdogan. Either they quarrel, or they reconcile, but the budget of Russia and its reserve funds should have nothing to do with this. Turkey has always been an enemy of Russia and will remain so.

    Pretty pointless chatter. The shell was developed for layered air defense, bayraktar - for counter-terrorist operations. Given the fact that in Libya, shells are used by essentially partisan detachments or gangs, it is not surprising that bayraktars have at least some success, in isolated cases even documented. And everything else is a listing of bayraktars far-fetched by the ears and lamenting that you see it’s a pity that Libyan gangs or partisan detachments do not have echeloned air defense
