For the first time, the Ministry of Defense has worked out the landing of heavy drones outside stationary airfields

The Russian military for the first time worked out the landing and maintenance of heavy drones outside fixed airfields. As stated in the Ministry of Defense, the exercises made it possible to check the readiness of the unmanned aviation to basing in the field.

On the eve of the large-scale Zapad-2021 maneuvers, the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted exercises on special types of support, within the framework of which they worked out field maintenance of heavy unmanned aerial vehicles. The training started at the end of this month, with the participation of the aviation of the Western Military District.

The main objective of the exercise is to organize field service points for aviation, including heavy drones, for which standard airfields are used. UAVs "Orion" and "Forpost" participating in the training landed on sections of the highway, where temporary service points were equipped with places for refueling and maintenance. In addition, drone landing at temporary unpaved airfields was practiced.

As they say "News" With reference to military sources, the number of heavy attack drones is growing in the Russian army, and measures with them have not yet been fully worked out. Now, the military is learning to create temporary service points for UAVs, just as it is done for manned aircraft in the event of its dispersal under the threat of a strike.

Earlier, aviation regularly practiced landing of manned aircraft on highways and the creation of temporary airfields, now such exercises will be conducted for unmanned aircraft, the Defense Ministry emphasized.

Is it possible to adapt the Chrysanthemum ATGM to drones, as on the Mi-28NM?

Kubinka, August 27. The 9M123 guided missile of the Chrysanthemum land complex was adapted for the arsenal of the Mi-28NM Night Hunter helicopter.

At the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2021" this helicopter was presented with the layout of the entire range of its ammunition, reports "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". Among other ammunition, the 9M123 guided anti-tank missile was indicated.

It is noted that the tests carried out have shown the possibility of using this missile not only in ground complexes, but also in helicopters. The missile is capable of accelerating to hypersonic speeds and hitting a target at a distance of up to ten kilometers. It can be used at any time of the day and in all weather conditions.

.At the Russian Helicopters demonstration site in the Patriot park, among other helicopters, there is a Mi-28NM with a display of the entire range of its ammunition. Among the combat diversity, the massive radio-technical system and launch containers with apparently large missiles on the left pylon stand out. This is the 9M123 Chrysanthemum anti-tank complex.

The missile went through the whole range of tests, which showed that its launches from a helicopter are not only possible, but also very effective.

Traditionally, this is how the first post on the site for a particular article looks like for technical reasons: You enter one thing on the keyboard, and the output turns out to be another.
It would be nice if Orion carried two 9M123s, accelerating to hypersonic speeds and having destructive capabilities in terms of destroying tanks.

Why, if now there is "Vortex M"

According to your logic, then why do you need a Vortex-M, if there is a LMUR, which is 2 times superior to the first in the range of destruction. Chrysanthemum is very difficult to surpass in terms of armor penetration.

.MOSCOW, March 20. / TASS /. The Russian upgraded Mi-28NM attack helicopter will receive a new product 305 guided missile with a target range of over 25 km. A source in the aircraft building complex told TASS on Wednesday.

"A new missile is being created for the Mi-28NM," product 305 ", designed to destroy armored vehicles and reinforced concrete fortifications around the clock. The source added that one helicopter will be able to carry up to eight of these missiles (four on each pylon).

According to the interlocutor, the rocket will fly to the target according to the onboard inertial navigation system, information about the location of the target will be entered into the system’s memory at the time of launch from the helicopter. Mi-28NM, in turn, will receive the coordinates of the target from its means of detection or from a unified command and control system.

In the final phase of the flight, the interlocutor explained, "the new missile will include a homing head to detect a target in a given area and hit." The helicopter will be able to receive a video signal from the rocket over a protected radio information command line, the source added.

Dear, do not argue! These birds will obviously carry a very wide range of weapons.

[Orange bigg]

Well, for every cunning nut there is a threaded bolt. Each ATGM has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, not only one Vortex-M is needed.

Well, so I write that there will be a lot of things - both rockets and bombs ... gliding, etc.

[Cat]

I think that the point here is in the placement and availability of detection and target designation systems. They are kind of different

[Volkof]

I don't really understand yet, but what the hell do you need such an Impact UAV? The maximum range of information exchange in real time is 250 km, if the control station is located at the take-off airfield, taking into account the security of the airfield, it is less than 180 km from the imaginary line of contact with the enemy .. He will cut 2 hours to the patrol zone, and back after the end of the operation .. The operator will not be able to detect anything from a safe patrol altitude with our optics and visualization and information transmission channels and monitors ... This means that he needs preliminary target designation! And who will do it? Scouts and MTR groups on the shoulders of the enemy? And the radar for it has not yet been made ... You can use a small reconnaissance UAV, but this is just fantastic for us ... And if a small UAV is used, then it can provide target designation to ground artillery weapons and MLRS with corrected ammunition! "Polonaise" shoots such a rocket at 250 km. and it is out of the reach of tactical weapons, unlike this UAV ... Is this an attack UAV against partisans and popuas without air defense? Is it just hanging in the air like a blind platform with minimal weapons and waiting for target designation?
The Turks sculpt the world's best components into their creation, use the latest means of information transmission and high-resolution monitors ... Plus the highest reliability and small dimensions, minimum power consumption ...
You can win against them with the help of well-thought-out tactics, with the help of special techniques! Do we have them?
In the Russian army, all the latest target designation systems are provided by people at the front ?! What is it like ? UAVs and the latest technical, including information, means all over the world are used so as not to send people forward! Everywhere except Russia ...

Hmm, this summer I rode to Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Yoshkar-Ola, Kazan, Kirov - everywhere there are large-scale reconstruction of roads, highways, overpasses, they are actively shifting asphalt ...
After this article, this picture began to suggest some thoughts ...

First, it would be nice to revive the local aviation itself.
You come up to an-2 or an-24, think how old he is and .... you won't fly, well, or if you really need to fly, you will take 300 grams right at the ladder.

And on that and on the other happened. Without 300.

Fly sober on a Boeing 737
And Anton and Annushka are already polished off. Annushka is generally one of the safest planes, sometimes it seems she will vomit the engine, so she will fly even then!

"take 300 grams right at the ramp." Well, then, I have to start every working day with a glass? Oh, I'm afraid my liver won't stand it, and my wife and employer won't appreciate it either.

I hope that they will show themselves well not only at the exercises ...

[Alex_K]

Since when did Orion and even more so the Outpost become heavy UAVs?

[Alex_K]

In Russia, there is only one heavy specimen and that one is still learning to take off from the airfield ... It's still a long way to the primer.

It happens. We were also fishing when we saw the video

[Arabfun]

Well, maybe it can't be: the Americans also flew to the moon and roamed there.

[Siegfried]

The Americans have been really enjoying making hit-to-kill rockets lately, which saves a lot. Is it possible in the future to install on our UAVs a more expensive class of all-round sensors, which fix the approach of a rocket and side nozzles, or one (as physics suggests), which at the last moment before intercepting will create a side impulse and move the device a couple of meters to the side? Such self-defense, even if it weighs something, can give the UAV survivability

[Stepan S]

UAVs "Orion" and "Forpost" participating in the trainings landed on sections of the highway, where temporary service points were equipped with places for refueling and maintenance.

I saw these sections of the highway, on the former M-4, - the road was widened to the width of the runway, made of concrete, on the sides there are pockets for service equipment. This section of the highway can be safely mapped like an airfield.
