Revolver 860: new drone for Ukraine

39

According to some reports, Taiwan plans to transfer to Ukraine a batch of "drones-bombers, equipped with a revolver-type discharge drum. Such a drum "in the base" is equipped with eight 60-mm mortar mines. Also, according to the assurances of the developers, a different combat load can be implemented, i.e., a smaller number of larger weapons.

The flight time of the device is up to 40 minutes, and the estimated range of use is up to 20 km.
The device looks like this.




It is difficult to say in advance what the effectiveness of this device will be in real combat operations.

On the one hand, the combat load is already much more impressive than the "grenade in a glass." Fragments of mines have a high penetrating power and can hit manpower behind light shelters.

On the other hand, you have to pay for everything, and in this case we are talking about a combination of such characteristics as the dimensions of the device, the noise emitted (8 motors) and speed.

The main question is from what height it is possible to effectively use the available ammunition. A situation may arise when, due to the size of the drone, they will often be noticed on the approach and destroyed by a regular rifle weapons (for example, a machine gun).

However, if it can sneak up unnoticed, it can become a truly formidable weapon.

According to which of the two scenarios events will develop, only time will tell.

It is worth noting that until now in Ukraine, both sides have been using a makeshift method of dropping weapons from drones. It looks like this.

Of the products of the “factory” type, until the appearance of the “revolver”, there was only the Russian “Orlan”, equipped with special containers for “bombing” VOGs.

However, such a decision looks like very "controversial" - "Orlan" because of its noisy propulsion system cannot go too low. Throwing light VOGs from a great height, and even from a horizontal flight, causes a relatively low accuracy in the use of weapons.

Subtleties of supply


Formally, the drone manufacturer sells devices to Poland and tries in every possible way to deny its participation in the supply of these vehicles to Ukraine, arguing that it cannot be held responsible for how Poland will dispose of the supplies in the future.

There is also information that test batches were delivered to Ukraine at the beginning of summer.

    The Chinese have such helicopter-type bombers. 60-80mm mines, incl. with air burst. This is hundreds of times worse than a copter with a grenade

    A vile thing ... especially goes to groups of soldiers when carrying the wounded and resting.
    When people relax and do not pay attention to the sky, impromptu gifts in the form of grenades and mines pour in from there ... the effect of surprise is complete.
    It would be necessary to create something like a sensor that detects small-sized UAVs within the radius of destruction of small arms and signals to the fighters about its approach ... it will be a useful thing.

    According to some reports, Taiwan plans to transfer a batch of “bomber drones” to Ukraine

    According to some information:
    Taiwan put Armed Forces of Ukraine 800 Revolver 860 attack drones, which carry eight 60-mm mines on board. It is reported by Taiwan News.
    According to the publication, the supplies went through intermediaries in Poland. Device manufacturer DronesVision confirmed that the purchases of drones were made from Poland.
    The Revolver 860 is assembled according to the scheme of a quadrocopter, weighs 42 kg and has a diameter of 1,35 meters. It can cover a distance of up to 20 km and stay in the air for 20 to 40 minutes.

          I have not heard that IR-UV MANPADS were successfully fired at UAVs like Mavik. Too little radiation. Possibly under some special conditions
          UV is usually used as an auxiliary channel to improve noise immunity.

    You don't have to wait for time. It is necessary to buy up a batch of the same through "third parties", disassemble them to the screw and identify weaknesses that can be actively influenced. And then already to build "scenarios". Everything is simple, and the solution suggests itself from the logic of life. I think that "who needs to" is actively working in this direction.

            It is always necessary to analyze the poison in order to develop an antidote. This thing is unlikely to pull to the top of high-tech, but it is better to establish the possible existence of nuances for sure than to think out in assumptions.

              So this is a civilian model and who needs to have acquired and studied this for a long time .. We have no problem understanding what UAVs are, we have a problem with their presence .. The Western world will supply UAVs, walkie-talkies, nightlights, thermal imagers and so on in any quantities, and here we it is difficult to compete, but here we answer them with heavy iron, and in this argument it is much more difficult to oppose something to the West, because these solutions are very expensive, unlike the above devices.
              But I repeat the shortage of these funds we have and there is one of the main mistakes of our Defense Ministry, they considered this an unnecessary whim ..

                I do not share your opinion. UAVs, in their current form, have been known and used in the "case" since at least 2015. And the results of their application are analyzed in the Ministry of Defense and General Staff, which is implemented in the TOR for production. And today the UAV has a place in the states, and there are samples that have been adopted. Another thing is that we traditionally lag behind the West in the element base. It must be admitted that today the West is really ahead of us in terms of the microelectronic base. And there's nothing to be done here, it is necessary to catch up with the "electronics" at all points of its application. We have to focus on the most important components. I think that rocket technology and strategic nuclear forces are among the leaders today, despite the fact that we had to sacrifice the needs, for example, the development of UAVs or automotive technology. Politicians (and this is not at all MO) almost always have to take the lesser of evils as decisions.

                  With the fact that other priorities were clear, the question is why didn’t they buy from the same China? The country has a lot of money! After the fighting in the Donbass in 2015, the role of UAVs as spotters of artillery and reconnaissance became clear, up to the infantry department of the BUT in the RF Ministry of Defense, as always, they were frostbitten and only now the go-ahead was given to equip UAVs in any form directly in the units .. About this omission, I and I say for 7 years of the conflict in the Donbass it should have reached the generals, but no, until they washed themselves with blood, no one moved, by the way, in Syria they asked similar questions, what for to drive huge multi-ton vehicles when UAVs would have been enough against the barmaley, but no, even here the Ministry of Defense did not move counting which will do anyway, because the task seems to be being solved, but the understanding of the trends was completely absent ..

                    We must not overtake or catch up, we must develop critical industries to a level that provides products that allow us to ensure security in the required formats and directions. So that this safety is in our hands, and not in the hands of random fellow travelers.

    Obviously, the future belongs to such bombers. Very dangerous and effective.
    The obvious solution is to make a fuse for dropping mass projectiles and mines from a copter and a drop system for copters - here's a scary cheap mass weapon for you.
    And we are still sleeping.
