The Chernika-1 strike drone, designed specifically for the destruction of manpower, continues to enter the North Military District zone

The photo is illustrative

The Chernika-1 attack drone, designed specifically to defeat enemy personnel, continues to arrive in the special operation zone. Since 2022, the military has received more than 7 thousand of these drones. The UAV developer company reports this.

The Chernika-1 attack drone is designed to destroy enemy personnel from the air using a special charge with explosive elements. The warhead of the drone weighs only 0,7 kg, but this is quite enough to cover a group of Ukrainian army personnel or a small car. It explodes near the enemy and covers everything within a radius of 20 meters.

Release drone carried out by hand or with a catapult. In addition, this drone has several modes for detonating a projectile: upon collision with an enemy or the ground, delayed and remote. The charge is activated only after the drone takes off. Delayed detonation is used to destroy enemy personnel. The drone is specially programmed so that the charge fires after a certain time.

(...) The enemy fighter, due to inexperience, can take it with him and carry it into the dugout, and there the shell is already detonated

- leads TASS the words of a company representative.

The drone can hit targets at a range of up to 80 km. This is the maximum distance it can fly one way. Flight altitude - 1500 meters, speed - up to 75 km/h. The drone is made according to the "flying wing" design.

I don’t understand how a 0.7 kg warhead can cover an area with a radius of 20 m.

If there is an F-1 grenade, this will be approximately the affected area.

Homemade quadcopters carrying grenades somehow have the same performance characteristics.
Only they are reusable. And they can carry more than one grenade.

The range of an aircraft drone is greater than that of a quadcopter and probably the same speed.

Everyone has their advantages.
The quadcopter can be landed near the expected impact site and wait for the target for several hours. The quadcopter is also much more accurate and can hover in one place.
It seems that if you ask a soldier in a trench what to give him, a pair of disposable ones with a range of 80 km, or a pair of reusable ones with a range of 10 km, the answer will be clear. And the cost is approximately equal.

Maybe yes. Why does a soldier in a trench need a drone designed to strike the enemy’s rear? But a couple of levels above their heads they are trying to figure out how to complicate the enemy’s supply of advanced units. There they will give you a different answer.

However, not all tasks are solved on the front line; someone needs to harass the enemy’s rear, where the command staff is holed up and the Banderlogs live after rotation. Whatever you say, it’s 80 km. This is a decent range. So the feasibility of use depends on what tasks are being performed, in short, all the “sisters in earrings”.

It is quite possible that the indicated value is 0.7 kg of explosives, but no destructive elements were added. And by the way, the explosives in the MON-50 are still 0.7 kg, but the weight of the entire mine is 2 kg. Coincidence? Then the radius of destruction converges.

It will not be enough

[Kerensky]

The warhead of the drone weighs only 0,7 kg, but this quite enough to cover a group of Ukrainian army servicemen, or a small car.

That is, in Paraguay they can’t be afraid? Yes, and the rest can gather in groups..

[Elephant]

And I decided that they had finally thought of making a detonation a meter above the ground, similar to the ancient 57 mm anti-aircraft gun, so that it would cover a large area

[alexoff]

I like the idea of ​​twisting the warhead from the S-5S. It contains a thousand flechettes and a remote fuse; if you slam it at a height of hundreds of meters, the bunker will probably pierce right through

[rosomaha]

But it won’t penetrate, it won’t even take open infantry in armored armor, very light flechettes... this was evident even in Afghanistan

[alexoff]

Well, if the S-5 doesn’t take, you need less flechettes and more expelling charge. The AO-27 was used to pierce parapets, and if you hit from above, for example, the arms and shoulders were not very covered with armor. In any case, the penetrating power of the arrow is greater than that of a regular fragment.

[rosomaha]

a new version of the projectile has been developed - S-5U with a multi-factor warhead. As for your favorite flash gun, there is one for S-8 too, it can hit elements that are a little heavier

[wlkw]

It looks like it's some kind of highly specialized thing. The only visible advantage is the flight range (the question immediately is how control/guidance is carried out). Most likely, simply in the conditions of a total shortage of drones at the beginning of the Northern Military District, anything that could fly and explode was suitable.
7 units were produced, which doesn’t seem like a lot to me. small-scale production that does not make a difference.

It’s nice to think in terms of millions (of course). But 7 thousand defeats, even one per drone, only of this type is a great help, on the LBS. “Weather” does everything that hits the enemy.

[alexoff]

A drone with a flight range of 80 km means communication is expensive. And at the same time it carries a grenade-level charge. Somehow disproportionate.
I understand that it is disposable?

[Bumblebee]

Apart from duplicate articles, I didn’t find anything about Blueberry-1 on the Internet and had never heard of such a drone before.

[Pushkowed]

In the “illustration photo” there is actually a Tachyon drone.
Which is not at all combative - only reconnaissance.
