Ukrainian military almost stopped using Bayraktar UAVs

In recent months, reports of Turkish drones Bayraktar in Ukraine.

It is worth noting here that the reason for this phenomenon is not that our air defense has “forgotten” how to shoot down widely advertised after the conflict in Karabakh Drones. It's just that the Ukrainian military stopped using them.



Recall that the last time the mass use of the Bayraktar UAV by the Ukrainian army was observed during the attacks on the island of Serpents, which began in the first decade of May and continued until the end of June. At the same time, this period can only be called “bayraktaropad”. In senseless attacks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost dozens of Turkish drones.

In total, according to some reports, by the end of September of this year, Ukraine had lost about 130 Bayraktars.

In fact, this is the main reason for the abrupt cessation of the use of the aforementioned drones by the Ukrainian military. UAV stocks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are running out, but there are no new deliveries.

Speaking of the latter. At the end of October, it was reported that the Turkish company had sharply reduced the supply of its drones to Ukraine at the request of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The reason for such a decision on the part of the Turkish leader was allegedly a gas deal with Russia. According to others - grain.

At the same time, according to many experts, the most compelling reason for Ankara to stop deliveries of its drones to the Armed Forces of Ukraine was the very “anti-advertising” that the Ukrainian military created for the Bayraktar UAV. After all, the reputation that the UAV has earned in Nagorno-Karabakh was heavily “tarnished” by the incessant media reports about drones shot down during the conflict in Ukraine.

Finally, representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not deny the sharp decrease in the activity of Bayraktars on the battlefield. The Ukrainian command explains this by the strengthening of Russian air defense, which makes it “more careful” to use expensive drones. In addition, they remind that Bayraktar is more of a reconnaissance drone, the functions of which can also be performed by cheaper drones.

                No, especially when you consider that the text circulated on the Internet (which you cited, and which everyone cites) has not been true for a very long time. Not with Canadian, but with Turkish optics, these UAVs are sold even for $1,3 million. for a unit.

                      We talked about the "pleasantness" of the shock application of Bayraktar.
                      The fact that a reconnaissance drone with similar optics and a similar range in a commercial version will be hundreds, if not thousands of times cheaper than Bayraktar.
                      That is why I called this drone a strike drone.

                        Where did you get this from? Show me a commercial drone "with similar optics and similar range" even for $10? ("it will be hundreds, ... times cheaper than Bayraktar." - accepted that "hundreds" as 200 times, since they are in the plural).

                        There, all the "military" is in the presence of a laser pointer and a secure communication channel.

                Not really, the optoelectronic system (day / night - identification) with a laser range finder (target designation) on a gyro-stabilized platform is most convenient for servicing artillery, such a system will not be cheap. But the modern development of air defense is such that the drone can be considered as a disposable means of reconnaissance / strike, i.e. literally released - shot down - released a new one ... therefore, civilian quadrocopters of the "Mavik" type are massively used at the grassroots level.

This is the future, this is super-duper, this is finally. And how many minuses I then raked out, arguing that drones of the "bayraktar" type are an ideal target for any more or less normal air defense system (if the anti-aircraft gunners do not sleep). But time has put an end to this topic. Of course, they are good, all these drones, but only against barefoot partisans, that is, where there is no smell of any air defense ..

To view the entire tactical depth of defense (20 km), you need to approach 40 km. If we limit ourselves to reconnaissance only for equipment, and not for HP, then we can stay behind the same 50 km. By tying the detected objects to the terrain for subsequent artillery strikes. And air defense ... What is air defense? It is always in a losing variant, since in order to monitor the situation, one must expose oneself to RTR means. With a built-in interaction system, this guarantees a quick gift.

        "We don't have many air defense systems that will reach this UAV in range when it performs reconnaissance flights."
        The control range of this UAV is up to 150 km, ceiling: 8200 m, maximum speed: 222 km / h (or 61,6 m / s), length: 6,5 m, wingspan: 12 m.
        The combat effectiveness of the UAV is also determined by its payload, namely:
        1. Electron-optical surveillance and laser targeting system module - Canadian Wescam CMX 15D system - reconnaissance range 15 km (number after CMX). Turkish optics have no more.
        2. Guided munitions with a range of up to 8 km for UMTAS ATGMs and up to 14 km for MAM-L (gliding small-sized munitions) - 14 km when using GPS / INS.
        It follows from this that the detection of the Bayraktar-TV2 UAV target is possible at a distance of no more than 15 km, and to defeat it, the UAV must approach the target up to the range of guided munitions - which is 8 km or 14 km.
        That is, in order for the Bayraktar-TV2 UAV not to complete its combat mission, it must be hit to the maximum range of its guided weapons - 14 km.
        Let's compare these parameters with the performance characteristics of the 9K317 Buk-M2 air defense system used during the SVO (data from open sources):
        1. The affected area in range - 3..50 km (for aircraft of the F-15 type - more TV2) and up to 20 km (for the PRR type AGM-88 HARM with dimensions: length 4,17 m, diameter: 0,25 m , wingspan 1,13 m - i.e. much less than BV2);
        2. Altitude kill zone - 10..25000 m for F-15 type aircraft and 100..15000 m for AGM-88 HARM PRR, that is, more than TV2 - 8200m;
        3. The maximum speed of hit targets is 1100 m / s (for TV2 - 61,6 m / s).
        With such performance characteristics of the airframe, reconnaissance and destruction equipment, the TV2 UAV is a simple target for air defense systems.
        That is why they were shot down en masse in the first months of the NWO. And not because. that they were misused. Not for this purpose, SVU-shniks were trained by the crowd to work on them.
        Yes, there were losses due to erroneous exploitation. But this is a very small part of the total losses.
        By the number of downed drones, one can judge how many were purchased and how often they are used. And here is the situation.
        First, Bloomberg reported that Ukraine bought more drones from Turkey than was announced. According to their data - 20 complexes (6 UAVs in each), 120 UAVs in total.
        Secondly, at the initial stage, the UAVs were used very actively.
        Third, there were also frequent reports of UAVs being hit by air defense weapons, incl. with visual confirmation (not often).
        Fourth, the fact of their mass destruction was confirmed by the head of the Association of Defense Enterprises of Ukraine Serhiy Pashinsky (link - https://t.me/RVvoenkor/29615 and other sources);
        Fifth, in recent months, these IED UAVs have practically not been used (very quiet on the network);
        Sixth, the idea of ​​a UAV manufacturing plant in Ukraine was also quietly blown away.
        If all of the above is summed up and the fiction with their incorrect use is removed, then according to various sources on the network, the number of downed TV2s during the CBO is about 90-100 pieces, which corresponds to the state of affairs.

    the Ukrainian military stopped using them... by the end of September of this year, Ukraine had lost about 130 Bayraktars.
    Obviously, there are units left for use, which are kept in the stash for their "decisive blow", which has been ringing for more than one week. It is possible that the gas and grain deal influenced the cessation of UAV deliveries, but, as the author correctly noted, the anti-advertising of this product received in Ukraine played an important role. And more recently, songs were composed about this "miracle weapon".

      What, the Ukrainians said so - We don’t need your bayraktars - they are shot down?
      The author of the article seems to have suffered from boredom. suddenly I thought, for a long time I haven’t heard about bayraktars on the net .. I sucked it out of my finger and put an article here with brilliant conclusions - they were all shot down! HURRAH!!!))
      And echo uryauryauryaurya ....

    And including that Bayraktar much more expensive than an ordinary drone, with almost the same functionality (the strike version with air-to-ground missiles was not used on a large scale by Bayraktars)
    + drone - low price, independence from runways - hence mobility, stealth, well, VOG or F-1 can be hung

    I remember a good song - just amazingly out of place ...

    Money, money, roasted seeds.
    They were, but they left, there is not a penny.

    Sonya told me
    On the hand, a solid success,
    Cut lemon slices
    Don't eat it whole.

    Sing songs while you live
    Have fun, dance, play!
    But without money you will be lost -
    Don't forget about things.

    In total, according to some reports, by the end of September of this year, Ukraine had lost about 130 Bayraktars.

    According to Konashenkov, according to anyone. Because there was a maximum of 4-5 photo fixations.


    Speaking of the latter. At the end of October, it was reported that the Turkish company had sharply reduced the supply of its drones to Ukraine at the request of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

    Who reported it?
    Grandmothers on the benches?

    According to some reports, it is not clear who reported it .... This is not serious

    At the same time, according to many experts, the most compelling reason for Ankara to stop deliveries of its drones to the Armed Forces of Ukraine was the very “anti-advertising” that the Ukrainian military created for the Bayraktar UAV. After all, the reputation that the UAV has earned in Nagorno-Karabakh was heavily “tarnished” by the incessant media reports about drones shot down during the conflict in Ukraine.

    For your information, Konashenkov is not listened to in the world, and the propaganda Z-channels are not read to know about "hundreds" of downed bayraktars. And as for the reputation, you can easily understand by looking at how many contracts the biker has signed this year.
    In addition, they remind that Bayraktar is more of a reconnaissance drone, the functions of which can also be performed by cheaper drones.

    But this just brings clarity to the competence of the author

    They beat down everything that the APU launched, which is why the APU stopped using "tractors".
    Surely the Armed Forces of Ukraine still have such drones, but they are already afraid to launch them, they are saving them for some special occasion.
    Well, the Turks stopped supplying, because the anti-advertising turned out.
    Eh, I said during the last war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, that the success of tractors is not evidence of the outstanding qualities of the Turkish military industry, but only an indicator of low training and poor equipment of Armenian air defense.

    It annoys me that Bayraktars GENERALLY could at least somehow act with those characteristics of Russian air defense, which we know from open sources. For any C300, this is the simplest target, slow, high, weakly maneuvered. And how our electronic warfare was touted ...

    If the old S-200 system shot down the ambulance over Serbia, what can we say about the maize, which is inferior in speed to the German fighters of the Second World War. I just cut the dough for know-how. He's too expensive. The red price is an order of magnitude lower!
