In the US press: Russian electronic warfare and air defense systems are capable of nullifying the effectiveness of Bayraktar and other UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Some Western experts wrongly believe that UAVs can give Ukraine a chance to win in a possible war with Russia. On the contrary, thanks to the Russian drones the entire Ukrainian defense system can be reset.
This is how David Hambling argues in an article published by the American magazine Forbes.
The US press claims that in the likely Russian-Ukrainian war, the main weapons I can be Drones. In particular, Kyiv has high hopes for Bayraktar TB2 drones supplied by Turkey. First of all, they expect that in the Donbas they are able to show the same result that the Azerbaijani army managed to achieve with their help in Karabakh. And along with the Bayraktars, Ukraine has various loitering ammunition and kamikaze drones.
But the fact is that Russia has something to respond to. In particular, this opinion was expressed in an interview with Hambling by the American military expert Samuel Bendett. He believes that the same Bayraktar TB2s will not create serious problems for the Russian defense system, which has the most advanced electronic warfare and air defense systems.
In addition, Russia has a significant arsenal of its own unmanned vehicles, including UAVs "Orlan-10", "Orion" and "Outpost". These vehicles are capable of conducting reconnaissance at long and medium distances. Such a technique may well affect the outcome of the alleged war with Ukraine, since it will allow Russian artillery to receive the coordinates of targets in the shortest possible time and effectively destroy them.
