"Trench EW nullified": Russian military delivered FPV drones to Ukrainian Armed Forces positions using "aircraft mothership"

The Russian Armed Forces used FPV for the first time in combatdrones at a distance of about 40 km, this was done with the help of drone, which acted as a carrier of attack drones. Russian resources reported this the day before.

The Russian military used a drone as an "aviation mother" for the first time, placing several FPV drones on it. The carrier simultaneously acted as a reconnaissance aircraft, identifying targets, and as a signal repeater; the attack drones were controlled via the "aviation mother" and were deemed effective. The dropped drones managed to hit their designated targets.

The use of such a bundle at a distance of approximately 40 km from the launch site completely nullified the so-called “trench” EW"The Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian Armed Forces admitted this. As it turned out, the drone's proximity to the repeater significantly reduces the effectiveness of the electronic warfare. According to a publication on Ukrainian resources, the Russian military used such a combination against the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the first time. They also reported the "zeroing" of the electronic warfare assets, which were unable to help in any way.

The Russians hit our unit with FPV drones delivered by a reusable mother drone 40 km from the front line. The mother drone provided visual reconnaissance and directed the FPV to attack. It also functioned as a control and video signal repeater. The proximity of the mother drone to the FPV reduces the effectiveness of trench EW to zero.

- says a message from one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel.

It is not reported on which section of the front and when exactly this happened, and the details of the new development are also unknown. Let's hope that this experience of using the "aviamatka" - FPV drones bundle will be introduced into the troops and will begin to be used more widely.

The news is simply wonderful!
But it is unclear where the Ukrainians learned such details.

Alternatively, they could visually detect the moment of the queen's flight and the FPV drop. And again, alternatively, they could use this method themselves. They are fine with drones.

...as an option, they can use this method themselves.

If they start using this method, then the UAV folder will already work on them.

We take a UAV, attach a mobile electronic warfare system to it, fly up to the mother and... the miscarriages are reset

Then the "folder" can be equipped with drop-down contraceptive nets to catch them.

Oxymoron. Why not?

[Hagalaz]

How do you know this?
I wonder, if about six months ago you were told that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would come in and occupy part of the Kursk region, what kind of joke would you have come up with?

[fruc]

Hagalaz
.....that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would enter and occupy part of the Kursk region, what kind of joke would you come up with then?

And do you know that Ukro sabotage and reconnaissance groups have been walking around the Kursk region for several years now? And as for the fact that a large section of the border was left without adequate cover, ask the competent comrades.

[Hagalaz]

There have already been a lot of questions about competent comrades. And I didn't ask you one (read it again). And you avoided another direct answer.

[fruc]

Hagalaz
But you avoided another direct answer.

Why should I make up jokes about this, I live there.

[Hagalaz]

And really, now you have no time for witticisms. But before, you would have definitely made a witticism. After all, you came up with a witticism about a UAV.

[Argon]

The video signal is intercepted calmly

[Lionnvrsk]

The details of the new development are also unknown.

Nonsense. The video presented, apparently from some exhibition, has the name of the site, there is the name of the hybrid UAV. There you can read about the basic characteristics, the flight time is 6 hours, the range is up to 500(!) km.

[Orange Bigg]

The Russian army is also increasingly using the multi-purpose reconnaissance and strike UAV "Inohodets" to detect and destroy enemy equipment. Video at the link below.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has published footage of the successful destruction of an American M270 MLRS MLRS by this drone near the border of the Kursk region.

The other day they wrote here on VO about the intention to use an aircraft mother.
Yesterday, FPV drones attacked the Ukrainian Armed Forces 40 km from the front line.
Ukrainians know how to add 2+2.

[BAI]

they saw it. and since they themselves have been using this option for a long time, they described their system

[salad]

We found out from Podolyaki)) he praised this thing in his channel yesterday.

Chinese made DLE 60 drone carrier engine

[al3x]

Well, whose else? I bought a petrol trimmer last year "Neva". So the only Russian thing in it is the company's legal entity.
P.S. China is already turning away dual-use products, both to us and to junk, especially those related to the whole UAV topic.

[zorglub bulgroz]

No, but the day we heat China up too much, it will hurt (I'm... French!!!), because we are in the same situation as you.
This was written from a computer compromised by the NSA :o

Bold and wonderful combination! Great hit, guys! Thanks! Keep it up!

[Old_geologist]

Unfortunately, our enemy will soon have the same crap! Or maybe they already have it, I think it was even mentioned somewhere. Well, I wish our fighters good luck and, if possible, to return home alive.

[powart]

Ukrainians have had this kind of crap for a long time. Watch the video of our fighters' comments. Unfortunately, Ukraine has a rather creative "partner" on its side. We are playing catch-up and must rely on the ingenuity of our engineers and fighters. True, we don't really like initiative and grab it when the hell kicks us!

[Lech from Android.]

However, the efficiency of our fighters is beyond praise.
Recently they only talked about this on VO.

[Dear_Matt]

More drones could be placed under the wings too.
