Russian soldiers shot down a large Ukrainian drone near Artyomovsk, which was trying to attack the positions of our troops

Russian fighters shot down a large Ukrainian drone near Artemovsk, which was trying to attack the positions of our troops. This hexacopter carried four grenades that were supposed to fall on the heads of the Russian military.

Reportedly, the Ukrainian drone has become quite an easy target for our fighters, as it is large in size, flies noisily because of the gasoline engine, and even glows in the dark. For the "landing" of this drone the Russian military had enough small arms weapons. The downed drone has six propellers, two batteries that power the ammunition dump system, and a gasoline engine. The drone is equipped with a camera and a grenade release system, of which there were as many as four.

Russian fighters shot him down with small arms. Since the drone flies noisily and glows in the dark, this target turned out to be accessible to our military personnel.

- said the correspondent of the TV channel "Star".

What is this model drone not reported, but this is definitely not a military drone, but a civilian one, adapted by Ukrainian craftsmen to drop grenades on the positions of Russian troops. It is possible that it was designed for agricultural work, given the gasoline engine and size. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have a similar device, but not with six, but with eight propellers (octocopter). We are talking about the R18 drone, developed by the Ukrainian company Aerorazvedka in 2019 specifically for attacking the positions of the military personnel of the NM LPR and DPR. This drone is capable of carrying a load weighing 5 kg at a height of 100-300 meters. The range is 4 km, and the battery life is 40 minutes on a single battery.

on petrol battery ? considering petrol engine

[minus]

In this part, about another drone, about eight screw.

[Snowfall]

The petrol engine is obviously started from the accumulator. In addition to the internal combustion engine, it is necessary to install a fuel system, an ignition system, and a gas tank on the drone frame. Soldiers know what they are writing. Serious guys, they won't lie.

The UAV business is only gaining momentum .. through trial and error, the war will select the most promising drones ... A person just doesn’t come up with something to kill another person ...

Forgot the power generator! (Though it's not "everywhere"...depends on the variety...)

[Bad_gr]

If a gasoline engine turns a generator from which propeller electric motors operate, such a unit can have much greater autonomy than if it flew only on batteries. But carrying batteries with you, which are used to drop bombs, is something tricky.

Aerodrome: .... on a gasoline battery?

It was also said that the batteries are for the grenade release system and for the power supply of the video camera, and the engine is gasoline.

[Nikolaevich I]

Well, they blurted out without thinking "tongue-tied"! But batteries are still put on "gasoline" multicopters!

[Johnson Smithson]

gasoline engine for charging the battery through the generator
all motors are electric of course, and battery powered
Basically it works like a hybrid car.

In general, so ... but not quite! There are 2 "groups" of "gasoline" copters ...: 1. The load of the gasoline engine is an electric generator ... the propellers rotate from "electric motors", "powered" by an electric generator through a "buffer" small battery ... ; 2. the propellers rotate from a gasoline engine through a special mechanical drive ... for example, like a trimmer ...

not too "muddied"? Batteries - for reset, and that's it.

Infrared video camera (red "eye" glows) to work on the ground in the dark.

They adapted a Chinese drone to drop 60/82 mm min. extremely annoying thing.

Judging by the fact that this video is half a year old, and there is no mass use, there was not enough money. His price tag is cosmic for Ukraine

Taiwanese. There was a video where they were handed over to the Ukrainians.

Ukrainian must have jumped down the road. And he had grenades in his pocket.

[AlexWar]

The engine was apparently installed from a walk-behind tractor. They decided to remake agricultural machinery for copters. Apparently the engine is from a walk-behind tractor, the generator was attached. They took out the fans and installed the camera.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Until there are enough effective means to destroy drones, and in fact it is time to introduce a shooter with a double-barreled shotgun and large shot into each squad, or at least into a platoon at first. Shotgun trap shooting training should be carried out on a par with other army shooting. It is urgently time to prepare snipers with sports skills of shot shooting at the plates.

[Adrey]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

or at first, at least in a platoon, introduce a shooter with a double-barreled shotgun and a large shot.

Yeah. With a maximum effective range of 35 m, well, with buckshot up to 50.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Where is it about 35-50 m?

Just heights of 50-100 meters are quite achievable with large shot.
The whole feature is that it is possible to arm with double-barreled shotguns and train shooters of stand-hunters quickly, in two months. So you can at least partially cover up the problem until more effective means appear.

[Adrey]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

Where is it about 35-50 m?

I don't know here. At the indicated distances, if only the pellet gets into the eye, then there may be unpleasant consequences. But I don’t shoot at a duck further than 40 m with the 3rd number, of course there are miracles, but extremely rarely . Roe deer can be taken quite confidently with buckshot 8 mm at 50 m, but it is better from a good long-barreled semi-automatic

[Ivan 1980]

Everything has long been invented, this beast is called Shilka

[Archivist Vasya]

What a big man, horror. But its use is not justified in this way. It's like if a helicopter hovered over enemy positions and dropped aerial bombs - 99% of them would be shot down. But if you attach an ATGM or small arms to a similar copter, this will already be more effective.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

This whole drone boom is due to the sluggishness of capitalist military production.
After all, as was the case under the USSR, industry, by virtue of its capabilities, provided the army with the necessary models of weapons.
How about capitalism? Under the husk of state defense orders, the owners of enterprises earn money on the supply of weapons and equipment.
In the USSR, the problem of UAVs would have been solved long ago by saturating the troops with rifle-caliber anti-aircraft installations, as well as creating special teams of clay target shooting athletes.
What's in Russia? Due to the above circumstances, it is not necessary to wait for effective, but at the same time, cheap models of weapons, because there is no gesheft to make them.
Moreover, I would not be surprised if the creation of means against small and ultra-small UAVs is artificially restrained. After all, this is a well-promoted business project that has not brought all the dividends.
Who will let him break it?

[single-n]

See how the US in WW2 launched production. . Only aircraft carriers more than a hundred riveted. And if he excludes escorts, then there are still several dozen "normal" ones. This is not counting tens of thousands of heavy. beavers, tens of thousands of tanks and other equipment.
They coped quite well. Just when they press it, they will start working. as long as there is no real threat to them.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

And what, they worked at a loss? No, of course, the United States made good money in the war. And production volumes increased because there was effective demand.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I share the hatred for the American imperialists, I don’t understand how, in your opinion, they were able to make money on the production of aircraft carriers. Were they trading aircraft carriers right and left?

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Is it really so important to whom the warship was sold, abroad, or to its own army? The fact that the warships were sold to the allies, it was, I didn’t delve into the aircraft carriers.
In addition, for the United States, weapons are a kind of means of production.

[D16]

I don’t understand how, in your opinion, they were able to make money on the production of aircraft carriers.

They still live on this.
