Problems with additional camouflage: UAV of the Armed Forces of Ukraine detected the Russian Tor-M1 air defense system in a forest plantation using an infrared tracking channel

Active saturation of the troops of both sides of the conflict with reconnaissance drones changes the rules of the game on the front. The practice of armed struggle, rooted in the army, needs to be adjusted taking into account the changed realities, otherwise the enemy will gain advantages on the battlefield, one of which was recorded on video filmed by an enemy UAV.

The Russian Tor-M1 air defense system performed a combat mission in the NVO zone, discovered an air target and fired at it. After that, the car made a retreat in order to change the strike position and disappeared into a forest plantation. However, all this time she was observed by a reconnaissance drone of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as stated, a Polish-made FlyEye device (as can be seen from its characteristic “floating” image frame). Despite the fact that the Tor was hidden from observation from above by the foliage of trees, it was detected by the operator of the Ukrainian UAV when switching from an optical tracking channel to infrared.



As a result, the enemy artillery received the coordinates of the air defense system and fired at the vehicle. The crew and equipment were saved by the fact that the projectile lay far from the position. After that, the video cuts off, but, as stated, the anti-aircraft complex successfully left the shelling zone, disrupting the "hunt" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The ability of the enemy to detect a thermal trace during reconnaissance requires additional camouflage measures, for example, equipping equipment with sets of heat-insulating material. Such products have been developed and are even available in the army (in particular, the Cape kit), but the vast majority of combat vehicles are still not equipped with them despite the obvious threat.

          But the question is, why was this UAV not spotted? How does he manage to fly next to the air defense system?
          And the thermal visibility of armored vehicles is not the main problem. Here is how to cover thermally the points and places of accommodation and heating of personnel, this is the problem of problems. A dugout or dugout identified by a heat trail will not leave its place

            There are many questions and in the organization of work of structure of division. Perhaps they led the complex before, but the thermal one can see the same in motion. Yes, and the equipment will not cool down immediately. The video shows that clearly followed. The guys left through the green. And what will happen when it all comes down?

            Who was supposed to spot? How? He is small.
            TOR, by design, is just protection
            from small and low-flying targets.
            If he did not notice this UAV, then alas.

            The FlyEye UAV is a manufactured
            of composite materials high-wing aircraft
            three-blade propeller and electric motor.
            Take-off weight is 11 kg, length - 1,9 m, wingspan - 3,6 m.
            The duration of the flight depends
            weather conditions and a number of other factors and ranges from 120 to 180 minutes.
            The UAV is launched by hand.
            Maximum speed - 160 km / h.
            The maximum flight altitude is up to 4 km.
            The maximum flight range is 50 km.
            The UAV is equipped with a video camera and a thermal imager.

              All drones used in Ukraine have one characteristic feature - they all have at least one propeller. So far, no one has bothered with measures to reduce acoustic noise (like on submarines), so something like an acoustic AFAR can be done.

            But because he did not work or was without ammunition, and at the same time he was alone! In this case, it should have been covered by another such complex, but it didn’t exist. This is a real cant in the organization, this needs to be dealt with.

                Mavik and other trifles Thor or shell with their radars will drown out well. Here, surveillance was clearly a different device, and it was supposed to be overwhelmed by another complex covering the idle torus. And there was no cover, this is a jamb that could lead to the destruction of expensive equipment.

            It is necessary to make false heat spots. Type of stoves for testing only small sizes and place them in hundreds at a safe distance. It's much easier than capes. Moreover, it is possible to imitate an object of almost any shape. In the daytime it is more difficult, but at night it is quite.

          During the Chechen war, the reconnaissance group searched for "Czechs" in the greenery. Thermal imagers showed the absence of the enemy, but when the group entered the greenfield, they almost immediately stumbled upon the militants! They were wrapped over camouflage with a foil film - such as the one that sticks glass from the sun. This method should be used when there is no regular "Cape". Either a film or food foil sold in any market and pasted with adhesive tape on a tarpaulin.

            My "analysis" led to an OZK with a "double-sided energy flex" glued on the outside. and a mandatory night sight or immediately with a thermal imager, otherwise Go out, shoot a sentry, throw in a dugout / dugout, your line and don't fucking "fight" during the day at all. passing through mines in a day you can look out with binoculars.

        For a territory like the Russian Federation, 1,1 million is not enough.

            Not true! The population of the USSR was 250 million, the population of the Russian Federation - 140 million.
            So the army had to be proportionally reduced: 140/250x5 = 2,8 million.

            In fact, this is the same as returning to a 2-year conscription service, which will already lead to an increase in the number of trained army.

                Bars are not a panacea. You will compare the current strength of these formations and what percentage they make up of the total strength of our troops participating in the NMD.

                How, for example, to get a permanent reserve, passing every year at least 3-month military retraining.
                Not so many in peacetime, among civilians, there are those who want to leave their family and work for 3 months every year. If, however, such a reserve is formed by conscription, then this will actually mean an increase in the size of the conscript army.

                  But I, after another "reformer" completely reduced our unit, would be happy to continue serving on such conditions for another ten years. Now, of course, the age is not the same, but at that time it would have been ideal for me.

                    It's fine! And there are still such people, as today's reservists working under such conditions say, but there are relatively few of them and they will not solve the problem of a significant increase in the army in the event of a conflict.

              I agree with you only for a period of 2-3 weeks a year - this is a very short period, now reservists are training for 3 months a year.
              Only after all, at the beginning of the NMD, Putin announced that not only conscripts, but also reservists would not be sent to the NMD zone.

              You can distribute equipment to homes, but weapons with ammo are dangerous. There are different options here:
              - personal unreasonable use;
              - taking possession of family members (not everyone has a safe for a machine gun with cartridges at home);
              - theft by criminals who, for the sake of taking possession of weapons, will seek to rob reservists.
              Foreign experience is not always suitable here, each nation at different periods of time had a different mentality (for example, in Soviet times, most cars did not have an alarm, as well as iron doors in apartments, and intercoms in front doors, and at the same time there were very few thefts ).

        What is the principle of equipping the army? Who makes decisions about the procurement and implementation of different systems?
        If we take commerce, there is a rule: demand forms supply, i.e. desires of buyers leads to the supply of goods.
        It can also be done in the army, as in ancient times: the ministry issues permission to adopt a system for supply and information is sent to units, and commanders give a request to the quartermaster about the need, and they already buy everything they need through their service bully then you can immediately see who is to blame for the presence or absence of any necessary

          You compare the speed and size of the bomber and the speed and size of the UAV. As for the catastrophic losses, this is not so. Moscow's air defense was weak, and the raids were carried out by smaller forces than, for example, London.
          One of the reasons for the weakness of the Soviet air defense was the lack of radar. It was possible to liquidate it only in 1942-1943. thanks to Lend-Lease supplies. If during the entire war a little more than 600 radars were produced in the USSR, then 2400 high-quality radars were delivered from abroad. They, as well as the best Western fighter aircraft, went primarily into service with Moscow's air defense. The shortage of radars led to the fact that it was not possible to notify about enemy raids in time, and the air raid signal often sounded after the start of the bombardment. This explains the large number of victims among Muscovites. So, on October 28, 1941, a heavy high-explosive bomb that exploded on Gorky Street (now Tverskaya) killed more than a hundred people standing in line to buy bread cards. The siren did not have time to sound.

    Now it’s clear why pins, dos were so hysterical that sighting platoons in each motorized rifle regiment were eliminated in our army. Each such platoon had 3 infantry fighting vehicles with laser emitters and 9 portable laser systems.
    And this sighting platoon was able to create a continuous zone of laser irradiation in the strip of the regiment. Of course, he could not burn armored vehicles, BUT! But all the optics that fell into the radiation band failed, became cloudy, and optoelectronic devices trivially burned out.
    If we had sighting platoons, UAVs of the Wehrmacht would come out in a matter of seconds as a means of observation. No, the UAVs themselves would not physically suffer, but their optical and optoelectronic filling would come completely and irrevocably to tryndets.

    For each piece of equipment, in theory, you need a direction finder for drone radio channels with an estimate of the distance to it, at least by the signal level. Knowing that the crew is being monitored and from which side can already help both in terms of the use of anti-drone weapons and in terms of camouflage. Only the friend-foe system needs to be introduced into this business. Ideally, it should be an anti-drone gun on the armor, like an anti-aircraft machine gun.

    All air defense systems must be equipped with electronic warfare equipment that provides protection against UAVs.
    On-board electronic warfare equipment should be of several types:
    - creating a protective dome around the air defense system,
    - allowing with the help of directed radiation to disrupt the work, clog the control channels of the UAV - allowing to "burn out the eyes and brains" of the UAV.

    The task of engineering units is to build protective shelters for air defense systems and other equipment.
    From the "eyes" of UAVs, they must be covered with at least several layers of camouflage net with radiation protection, at least for thermal imagers.
    Such nets - shelters, even for hunters, are sold, not to mention snipers and scouts.
    Away from the shelter-caponier, several false positions should be created with "plywood" equipment and rattling Chinese diesel engines for fifteen thousand rubles, creating an imitation of running engines and attracting enemy UAVs.

            .
            only the screen saves from the thermal imager, located away from heat source provided that the thermal imager does not move around the target from all sides (the heat has somewhere to go).
