Missile and drone strikes hit repair facilities and a large ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Zaporozhye and Odessa, respectively

_{The glow of a fire as a result of a hit drone on a military facility in Odessa}

During the evening, night and early morning, strikes were carried out on military targets in the territories controlled by Kyiv. In particular, it is reported about missile attacks on enemy targets in the city of Zaporozhye. According to some reports, a warehouse for storing components for Ukrainian equipment, which is used in hostilities, was destroyed.

Repair shops were also liquidated, where the restoration of such equipment in the interests of the Ukrainian army was carried out.

Details continue to come about the use of strike drones against military installations in Odessa. Local groups in social networks and public messengers confirm the data that several loitering ammunition hit precisely military facilities in this city. Moreover, after the defeat of one of the objects by shock drone "Geran-2" a large fire broke out, which continued throughout the night. The glow could be observed from anywhere in Odessa.

Due to the fact that multiple detonations took place at the facility, it was suggested that a large ammunition depot of the Ukrainian army was destroyed with the help of drones. The assumption is confirmed. It is known that local authorities were engaged in the evacuation of the population from the territories adjacent to the affected military facility at night.

and no need for calibers, Iskanders, X-101 ...
everything is easier and cheaper
and the result is "obvious"

If it weren’t for the pests and embezzlers from the Ministry of Defense and the military-industrial complex, we would have had thousands of such UAVs, like strike and reconnaissance UAVs, this has long been the norm in normal armies of the world, even such as Iranian.

necessary! and those are needed, and these .. And more!

How is it not necessary? Everyone needs cruise missiles, but we don't? Geranium-2 has its own niche and this UAV will not replace either Caliber or Iskander.

. The declared range of use of the Shahed-136 (or Geranium-2, if you like) seriously exceeds the firing range of not only cannon artillery, but also the MLRS, so that it can get an enemy self-propelled gun escaping from a position in “safe” territory. Although an airplane with a piston engine will obviously fly to the target area longer than a supersonic missile, on the spot its low speed and the possibility of long loitering will be of great help: the operator will be able to calmly assess the situation and independently find the sump in which the enemy vehicle managed to hide, or even catch it is at the exit. One can also imagine a situation when a “flock” of drones patrols over its (or even enemy) territory and quickly aims at enemy units that have discovered themselves. This applies not only to artillery, but also to roaming tanks, motorized infantry deployed to attack, stationary firing points - in a word, any ground targets.

The mass of the Shahed-136 warhead is 36 kg - this is a lot. Given that a drone warhead doesn't have to be as thick-walled as an artillery shell, a fair amount of that mass could be explosives, making one kamikaze the TNT equivalent of two to three 152mm rounds. Together with a sufficiently high pointing accuracy, this makes the “one hundred and thirty-sixth” a powerful weapon not only against pinpoint military targets ..... It can be used to cost-effectively disable small energy facilities (transformers, power transmission line supports), communications (base stations) , transport (railroad arrows), for which it is a pity to spend any Iskander.

As it is not necessary, the warhead caliber is 9 times more powerful than this drone, each weapon has its own goals.

Soon there will be a counter-strike, people are already recruiting not only through the official way.

[VLAD-96]

Keep it up! Komikaze drones are a good topic, until they find a countermeasure method, you need to have time to hit important objects!

More "flowers" on the heads of Svidomites! Don't feel sorry for them!

[aybolyt678]

I wonder how long this advantage will last?

[demiurg]

Interestingly, if Geranium's range is halved or tripled, from 900 to 300-400 km, how much more TNT can be taken?

[PrAkyror]

It is necessary, not only at night, but also during the day !!! And then they taught that only at night it flies to their warehouses and offices ... During the day, at rush hour! If this is a military facility, then there are no civilians there, but the ukroband and the NATO "roof" are in place!

[Sergey250455]

He is slow. You can hear it at night, but you can't see it. And it is not known whether the moped is going, or the "Geran" is flying.

[AIK05]

Light music due to explosions for dill every day and all night, we won’t take money for this

Yesterday, on a video from Odessa, from the attic floor, sounds were heard not only of automatic bursts, but also something powerful, similar to the sound of a cannon from a Barodavochnik. effect is near zero.

[tralflot1832]

Maybe 550 shots from each barrel per minute! I hope to catch them, they should stand in an open area in Odessa. So that only caterpillars remain from him.

The greenhouse of the Russian army has replenished with another very spectacular and effective flower. God forbid, not the last.

[art having]

Yes, as practice shows, drones in modern warfare are everything.
I think in the near future aviation will not be needed ..

And the UAV is, in your opinion, not aviation?
You, apparently, meant manned aircraft, but expressed yourself vaguely.

. Drones ... at the moment the most!
The enemy does not have enough air defense systems to effectively deal with them.
In the future, foreign guardians can fill this gap, so you don’t have to miss the right moment, at the same time take measures so that the enemy does not create effective air defense.

[Carlos Hall]

Magnificent Iranian drone strikes. Don't forget to punish the western part of Ukraine.

[Petr_Koldunov]

How does Russia meet the Nazis? How than? Flowers! Tulips, Hyacinths, Peonies, Carnations and Acacias... now Geranium is organically woven into this deadly bouquet. You are welcome to the scrap, nonhumans!
For ukrovermacht - more colors, good and different!

Soon the leaves will fall from the trees. Then Geranium will be especially useful

It was necessary to cultivate in their fields in advance. Yes, more. And it only bloomed in September. Previously, it was not heard.

Apparently she will have to look for non-standard schemes of application.

[Vlad is short]

It is necessary to use these drones more actively until the air defense of Ukrainians is able to fight them
