"Just take a machine gun and tie it to the drone with ties - it doesn't work." A scout from the 3rd assault on drones with small arms and their effectiveness
Janis Tereshchenko, a scout of the 3rd separate assault brigade, said what he thinks about drones with small arms, which the military is quite skeptical about.
Janis Tereshchenko, a scout of the 3rd separate assault brigade, said what he thinks about drones with small arms, which the military is quite skeptical about.
Yanis Tereshchenko also shares skepticism about aerial drones with small arms instead of grenades, although in a video interview on «Army TV» he says that, thank God, he has not seen them.
According to the intelligence officer, purely theoretically, he has many questions about the operation of such drones, in particular, how to implement and apply it to be effective.
«Just taking a machine gun and wrapping it with cable ties to the drone doesn’t work. It has to be ready for this,» emphasizes Yanis Tereshchenko.
In particular, among the critical issues of the operation of such a device, according to the intelligence officer:
stabilization when shooting,
the process of pointing and aiming,
The release mechanism must be controlled.
He says that making an effective drone with small arms is a difficult task, but the intelligence officer has no doubt that it will be solved.
«It is difficult to imagine a situation, problem, or tactical task that cannot be solved with the help of a drone,» says Yanis Tereshchenko.
Recall that work on an unmanned platform with small arms based on a quadcopter with increased payload from the Sky Destroyer project was reported online almost a year ago. At that time, the Sky Destroyer developers also confirmed the problem of recoil from the shot and reported that they had made the appropriate calculations, understood what force was needed to extinguish this recoil, and were working on this recoil mechanism.
UPD. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied reports that the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Sukharevsky, is planning to be dismissed
