Russian engineering units in the NVO zone were covered by the Sapphire anti-drone system

It is reported about the testing of the modern Russian anti-drone complex "Sapphire". The tests were carried out during a Russian special operation.

According to TASS, referring to a source in the defense industry, we are talking about a complex that is intended, among other things, to cover engineering units. With the help of Sapphire drones The enemy was protected by engineering units, which erected protective structures in a number of territories in the NVO zone.

"Sapphire" is different in that it is able to protect against all types of tactical drones. It is able to detect and identify the target, after which, if the target matches the parameters of the enemy, an electronic impact on the systems is carried out. drone, which prevents it from completing the task.

It is reported that the Sapphire complex is capable of detecting a target at a distance of up to 30 km, and counteracting at a maximum distance of up to 5 km.

In addition to directly countering UAVs, the Sapphire complex can also be effectively used against ground drone control stations.

Previously, the complex was presented at the Army-2020 forum. "Sapphire" - the development of specialists of the All-Russian Research Institute "Gradient". It allows you to create electronic interference on a certain perimeter, block the satellite navigation signal of all currently known systems, including GPS, GLONASS and Beidou. Deprived of communication with the operator, the enemy drone will be in the air without the possibility of data transmission, then descend to the ground. A command to destroy the drone can also be given to operators of means of destruction of air targets.

This is great news, but timing! In a war, this is unacceptable. Prototypes must be immediately tested in combat conditions and finalized, as they say, "on the knee", eliminating shortcomings and launching into a series. And MO also needs to move rolls faster. Thank God that the State Duma adopted the law "On Accelerating State Procurement for the Northern Military District", there is hope for accelerating the process of receiving new types of weapons for the troops.

[RED_ICE]

Purchasing is a different process. And before the purchases, there are still a lot of delays, from testing to acceptance into service with the RF Armed Forces. Otherwise, it cannot be purchased. The audit will come and someone will run to the cashier. And you can’t prove to anyone that it was necessary to buy.

[vladcub]

Duck, they always do this: at the beginning of someone’s fall, an idea, then for a long and uncomfortable time it will be barked by colleagues and superiors. They will show on the forum, the customer will still think, and then look for the manufacturer.
Grabin, the creator of artillery systems, said: the new 76mm cannon was adopted and Stalin (!) cursed for a long time until they found an enterprise to produce.

And preferably - with trained personnel. So that it does not work out like in the famous story with the "Dome":

During a visit to the Russian military standing next to him, on some domestic issue, "Bereg" found in their headquarters a long-abandoned aluminum wardrobe trunk, on the lid of which a cat had recently given birth to kittens and the military knew nothing more about him. They said, they say, those whom we replaced left him here. What is there - we do not know, some kind of crap. Now Igor is the only person who can launch this system on the spot and use it for its intended purpose. Apparently, the system is partially out of order, consultation of specialists is needed.

© A.S. Morozov, from a letter to the Avtomatika concern.

Why it was necessary to involve a specialist from the 14th separate battalion of the territorial defense of the NM of the LPR "Prizrak" to write a letter about a malfunction of the standard electronic warfare system for combating UAVs - there is a great secret.

[Sergei_Bely]

And a lot of things have been ruined from modern weapons, since they don’t train personnel. And literate with experience in industrial automation mobilized instead of tono to create engineering repair units, they are sent with a machine gun in their hands. And then we wonder why the technique seems to exist, but it is not used.
They simply squander human capital.
After the end of the SVO, it will turn out that enterprises cannot work, since there are simply no engineers. All young people have either gone to it, because there is money and reservations, or to the gray sector, so as not to shine in front of the state.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

Regarding the acceleration of deadlines: it is necessary to switch to an effective management system developed by Comrade Stalin I.V. and carried out by Comrade Beria L.P. - sharags. In general, it is worth learning more from the DPRK.

[Svetlana]

Will you be able to work as you did then? 12-14-16 hours? And so that no bananas, no pineapples and no overseas sweets? Soup, porridge and bread. And to spend the night between the machines, on the boxes.

After all, there was not only effective management, but also the appropriate engineering and working staff. The country was like that.

It was a normal country.

It was necessary - and the prices were reduced,
And the channels flowed right
And in the end, where it was necessary.

[Svetlana]

And who said not? Of course normal.

The essence was different, demanding Stalinist approaches to managers, we must be prepared that they will require the same dedication from us. And this is exactly what my opponent did not take into account.

[Luenkov]

And the population fell in number, and as the village was eaten, so it was scattered around the national apartments, as the great Lenin bequeathed.

[Sergei_Bely]

Then there was no automation in the industry. And now, if instead of loading equipment, we exploit people, the result will be much worse than possible

[Bolt cutter]

sharagi. In general, it is worth learning more from the DPRK.

Or maybe offer specialists a salary comparable to that established by the Americans and Israelis?

[nik-mazur]

salary comparable to that of the Americans

To do this, you need to manage half of all the money in the world, right? Otherwise, you say that as if salaries do not depend on financial and economic opportunities, but solely on desire.

[Bolt cutter]

half of all the money in the world, right?

No . The share of engineers' salaries in high-tech is relatively small. For example, British qualified design engineers get their hands on 900 pounds a week. And they don’t run abroad, they don’t go into business, they do their job well. 9 millionth (less than Moscow) Sweden also pays its engineers well.
And in Russia they offer sharashki

purely by desire.

Taking into account the prices for Russian high-tech, comparable to the Western ones, from reluctance.

[Simon_Dellsen]

Camarada, no se trata de mejor pago.

Como te dijeron no se puede competir con USA o Israel porque estos manejan el sistema financiero que es mas falso que un dolar de 3!!!

Los técnicos o personal calificado, deben ganar bien, pero eso no pasa por cuanto billete cobran, sino por su nivel de vida.

Incluso ganando comparativamente mucho menos que sus equivalentes yanquis, subrían ganar más, gracias a un costo de vida inferior.

Si el personal calificado, y entiendo que Rusia los tiene, viven "bien", no hace falta que ganen a la par de sus iguales occidentales, y de hecho los técnicos de la era soviética ganaban en "billete" mucho menos, pero vivían a veces mejor que los occidentales!!


Comrade, it's not about the best pay.

As you have been told, you cannot compete with the US or Israel because they run a financial system that is more fake than $3!!!

Technicians or qualified personnel should earn well, but this does not depend on how much money they earn, but rather on their standard of living.

Even while earning comparatively less than their Yankee counterparts, they were able to earn more thanks to the lower cost of living.

If qualified personnel, and Russia has them, as I understand it, live "well", they do not need to earn on a par with Western colleagues, and after all, Soviet-era techies earned much less "vouchers", but lived many times better than Western ones !!

[Sergei_Bely]

I know a competent engineer who traveled around charades and helped solve complex problems. And from his words, the salary was 900 rubles.
So it's not about Sharazki, but about the level and competencies

And there is something in this! (With)
"Maybe, moget be ..." as the famous person A. Raikin used to say ... BUT !!!
This can only happen at state-owned enterprises, where workers are paid 3-4 times more than in the industry, and they hold on to their place with their teeth! Then, according to the principle: I gave you everything that you demanded and asked for .. so where is the result, I ask you !?

[rotmistr60]

able to protect against all types of tactical drones

As I understand it, the tests were successful, it remains to launch in a series? At this stage, there should be no more delays (the main part of the bureaucratic obstacles in the process of SVO has already been removed), which means that it will soon appear in the troops.

[A17ttt]

need to further develop the internal module.

It is reported that the Sapphire complex is capable of detecting a target at a distance of up to 30 km, and counteracting at a maximum distance of up to 5 km

.
not enough at a distance of 30 km - to detect. still need to drive it.
ideally, switching should be between several devices - in order to create a single field (square / rectangle / cube) from Cells / Honeycombs and fix the trajectory.
in addition to switching with the operator, target data must be transmitted to firing points - so that direct opposition is provided at the turn of 30 to 5 km.

what a fantasy!

[air wolf]

It’s a pity not to make self-propelled turrets based on motorbikes with normal machine guns that worked with AI and we have a good GSHG-7.62 machine gun with a rate of fire of 6000 rounds per minute, but it only works with brass shells
The probability of hitting a target at a distance of 1 km is one! And this is not a joke, a second salvo of 100 rounds. He is on our Ka-29.

[A17ttt]

everything would be fine, but as an example:
Bayraktar TB2 - Ceiling: 8200 m

and the range of GSHG-7,62 is 1000 m

that is, it is clear to what range a large caliber should strive - from 9 to 20 mm

[nik-mazur]

Quote from A17ttt

Bayraktar TB2 - Ceiling: 8200 m
and the range of GSHG-7,62 is 1000 m

During the Second World War, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns hit 10-12 km in height. At the current technical level, using radar, IR / UV / thermal imagers, rangefinders, programmable detonation - this would be an ideal solution for any tactical-level drones. Anything more serious can already be hammered with anti-aircraft missiles.
I think that over time, each battalion will include a battery of such specialized combines with several different calibers on one chassis under common control.

[Simon_Dellsen]

Este sistema me parece que está pensado para drones más chicos y dificilmente rastreables.

El dron turco es realmente grande!

Igual como sudamericano, me sorprenden como sacan, como mago de la galera, cada cosa que es sorprendente!!!

Más allá de cosas atendibles, deberían estar orgullosos de su país y sus capacidades!!!


This system, I think, is designed for small drones that are difficult to track.

Turkish drone is really big!

I, as a South American, wonder how they, as a gallery magician, bring out all the amazing!!!

In addition to worthy things, they should be proud of their country and their abilities!!!

[A17ttt]

or under the direction of the operator, a batch (20-40 units) of large caliber should be delivered to this height. with a certain range of fire.
at the same time, the cheaper the delivery, the cost of the batch (in production), the mass use - the better.

ideally - generally change course and send to the addressee. the exception is inland areas.
