"Adros" could not protect the Ukrainian aviation from "Strel" and "Eagle" militia of Donbass
The only combat aircraft that could remain unharmed was the Su-27 fighter, since “the Ukrainian military had the sense not to hang blocks with unguided aircraft missiles on such planes and not to send them to storm the enemy’s positions,” "Messenger of Mordovia".
The successful application of aviation equipment was to help the station of optical-electronic suppression "Adros" KT-01АВЭ, which were installed on the upgraded Su-25 and Mi-24. According to the manufacturers of this product, it "was intended to provide highly effective active protection of helicopters against guided missiles with infrared homing heads of various types."
This station was supposed to successfully cope with the Soviet “Needle” and “Needle-1”, but in fact it could not “deceive” the old and proven militia missiles.
As a result, now Ukrainian aviation has to “lick its wounds”, repairing the remaining equipment. In addition, the possible arrival of Soviet aircraft and helicopters from abroad. Information about this has already appeared on the Internet.
