According to some media reports, the largest-scale attack by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles took place last night. The Russian Ministry of Defense counted 144 aircraft-type drones in nine regions of the country. Why do they fly so far without obstacles? Experts’ opinions are published by Pravda.Ru.
According to a member of the UN Disarmament Commission, a political and public figure Igor NikulinIn flight, these drones are guided by GPS satellites. Interfering with it is not an easy task, he admitted. And probably useless, because modern UAVs are equipped with other means of navigation, the political analyst notes. Alexander Pylaev.
“There are inertial systems, i.e. the flight mission is placed directly inside the body of the drone,” he explained. — They are quite reliable, i.e. the electronic firmware contains, roughly speaking, a digital model of the terrain over which the UAV should fly with specific references, and it moves on it. This does not require constant contact with the satellite, i.e. it can be guided by some reference points, but these are nuances, I cannot tell you exactly what reference points can be placed there. In addition, there are optoelectronic systems, i.e. some drones can be controlled by real operators, the same FPV principle, i.e. there is a video channel that allows you to correct the drone’s flight.”
