March 12 2021

Airborne troops will receive their own unmanned reconnaissance Aviation... As reported "News" with reference to the Ministry of Defense, the military department is completing the formation of the relevant units.

The Ministry of Defense is completing the formation of unmanned aircraft units as part of the Airborne Forces. The process is planned to be completed before the end of this year, but it all depends on the pace of receipt of new dronesso times may be subject to change.

According to the plans of the military department, each airborne or airborne assault division, as well as individual airborne brigades, will have their own reconnaissance companies drones. At the same time, it is not excluded that in the future the so-called kamikaze drones, capable of striking at enemy fortifications and equipment, will go into service with the Airborne Forces. Since 2018, the training of drone operators for the Airborne Forces has been conducted at the Ryazan Guards Higher Airborne Command School.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the basis of the reconnaissance unmanned aircraft of the Airborne Forces will be the domestic drones "Orlan-10", "Eleron-3" and "Zastava". They will not only conduct reconnaissance, but also adjust the fire of the artillery units of the Airborne Forces.

It is emphasized that equipping the Airborne Forces with drones will radically enhance combat capabilities against the background of reformatting the landing force into a rapid reaction force.

  Indeed, why do they need drones? It is enough to carry out a throw over the position, from above everyone will see ... (sarcasm, for those who did not understand)

The army is equipped with the necessary types of equipment, reconnaissance and control equipment, everything else, and so on. Learn to use effectively. The process is underway.
It's too early to talk about the pace.

Have you heard anything about the border guards in this aspect? That is precisely why UAVs are needed ...

each airborne or airborne assault division, as well as individual airborne brigades, will have their own companies of reconnaissance drones

It is very reminiscent of bringing machine guns into separate units, rather than saturating infantry units with them. As if, according to the mind, each platoon should be given a drone launched from a hand or a small catapult.

  In practice, it will most likely be so. Individual units will be assigned to a specific unit in exercises and during hostilities. And the maintenance and service of equipment (UAV) will be carried out as part of a separate unit. It has always been that way. It's just that another type of combat support unit will appear in the formations.

  The UAV platoon doesn't really need it, but the company already does. And, of course, it is better to create a separate special unit so that both the command staff, the operator and the technical staff have the appropriate special training. Then you can build up their level of professionalism.

    It's like saying that only a platoon commander needs a radio, not every soldier.

      For certain tasks (look behind a nearby hill, corner or fence), drones can be part of a squad and they can be not only flying.

  It seems that in the 50s. each motorized rifle battalion had an armored personnel carrier platoon that served motorized rifle companies.

There are no military branches where drones would not be useful.
Even the Strategic Missile Forces need them, for example, to protect objects.
The Americans are already equipping submarines with drones for long-range reconnaissance.

As soon as drones fill all types of troops, a sufficiently effective means of dealing with them will appear, which will nullify this type of military equipment.

  Yeah. As soon as the anti-tank artillery appeared, the tanks immediately disappeared.

So none of these UAVs (more precisely in their OES) does not even have a laser designator.
Other manufacturers, even of such a small class of UAVs, have it, and they need it. So that any UAV at any time could highlight the observed object, to hit them with the appropriate parts.
This decision is prompt.

  Here, the weapon of destruction should provide:
  - for stationary targets - enough coordinates with an adjustable gyroscope;
  - for moving targets - zonal thermal auto-capture.
  At the same time, the illumination does not unmask the reconnaissance drone.

the military department is completing the formation of the corresponding units.
Neutral opinion: scratching an old beard - here really no one has a military education and length of service? What did not comment on this quote from the article, which is very important for "organizing and supporting these formations"?
