“There is no counteraction to this now”: Director of Aerial Reconnaissance Support Centre on new threat from Russian drones
Pravda Ukraine
Russia relies on automatic optical navigation of its drones, and there is no systematic counteraction to this now.
Source: Mariia Berlinska, a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, head of the Victory Drones volunteer project of the Dignitas charitable foundation and director of the Aerial Reconnaissance Support Center in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda (which will be translated shortly)
Quote: “We lost so much time so incompetently that now the Russians have overtaken us many times.
The more they automate their systems, the more they develop ‘drone swarms’ and automatic optical navigation (when the drone recognises the target and makes the decision to hit it), when there are thousands of such drones flying, we will be forced to retreat tens of kilometres in a matter of weeks.”
Details: To maintain Ukraine’s parity on the battlefield, Berlinska calls on President Zelenskyy to create the Staff of the Engineering Supreme Commander-in-Chief as soon as possible and attract leading Ukrainian drone manufacturers to participate.
Background:
- Russia is trying to restore the wreckage of a Ukrainian surface drone SeaBaby to use it against Ukraine.
- The Russian Federation also covers Shahed drones with carbon fibre or repaints them in black to make it harder for Ukrainian air defence to shoot them down.
