How to shoot down commercial drones
After the start of the NWO, it became clear that commercial drones, colloquially - quadrics, have become the main means of observation and reconnaissance over the front line and near rear. And here our enemy turned out to be more prepared than the Russian army - personnel standing under artillery attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tank columns taken from drones filled Youtube.
Surprisingly, the rich experience of using such equipment by the people's militia of the DPR and LPR was completely ignored by Russian generals, however, this is not even surprising. If, after Karabakh, the UAVs did not saturate the troops, and the loitering ammunition was not prepared in the required quantity, then what can we say about these “stupid buzzers”.
One of the greats said that one should not look for betrayal where simple stupidity is enough.
However, recently we all read the statement of a high-ranking Russian military man that, they say, the Drones do not meet the "high requirements" for such equipment. So things are still there, and will be there for a long time.
In the meantime, manufacturing capitalists are keeping a close eye on the needs of consumers, and drones like the recently announced 48x stabilized zoom video camera movie, equipped with a thermal imaging camera and holder for “various devices” are already appearing. So we see citizens who need all this. But from a military point of view, we have an ideal scout and even a grenade thrower.
Okay, it's all whining and rhetorical questions. Drones have entered the fighting tightly, and this is a fact.
But how to deal with drones?
Again, I’m sure that many have seen a video where the Russian Pantsir unsuccessfully tried to shoot down a drone flying over it, and it was during the exercises. Indeed, a quadcopter is a very difficult target. Small, subtle and distant.
For example, a drone hanging at a height of one kilometer will be inaccessible to small-caliber artillery fire, even if it is noticed. And you still have to get in.
The emerging electronic warfare systems, made in the form of hand-held jammers, do not solve the problem. They usually act on the control channel, trying to either intercept it or drown it out.
But modern encrypted channels are almost impossible to hack, and in order to drown out, you must again visually detect a drone and aim a “gun” there. The square of distance never goes away, and the power required to jam is not available to portable devices.
So what to do?
It seems that we will have to revive large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, capable of throwing a projectile to a great height and scattering a cloud of fragments there. Damage to a drone is easy, even a small fragment can do it, and if the projectile is equipped with ready-made submunitions, then even better.
This is how the picture emerges. I wonder if we still have 85-mm anti-aircraft guns in storage?
