The situation with the UAV becomes more complicated — military correspondent

The situation with the UAV is becoming more complicated, said military correspondent Oleg Marzoev.

He recalled that there are three degrees of range of drones:

• ShortStrike (short strike);
• MiddleStrike (medium strike);
• DeepStrike (deep strike).

"The enemy's ShortStrike was up to 15-20 km a year ago. Today it is already up to 80-100 km, taking into account the repeaters on the wing, while already up to 60 + km with fiber-optic drones. Thus, they are already FPV reaching Donetsk and can even reach Melitopol already. There is no mass in such strikes yet, but the trend is alarming. We hear about DeepStrike every day when the enemy tries to hit refineries, enterprises and gets into residential buildings in the deep rear. This is 300, 1,000, 1,500 km," said Marzoev.

And not worked out by the enemy, according to the military correspondent, the MiddleStrike remained. This is just 100-300 km.

"And when they solve this problem, then not only the foreheads and distant rear areas, but also the entire SMO zone to the full depth, all new territories and old ones for many kilometers from the border will be under attack," Marzoev writes in the telegram channel.

Here, according to him, it is also important to understand that small FPV drones work in ShortStrike, medium ones in MiddleStrike, and in DeepStrike is large.

"And we have to counteract them in different ways. And when there is an overlap, when the small ones already reach the medium tasks, the medium ones reach the large ones, then it becomes more difficult to cope, since it is ineffective to shoot sparrows from cannons. And medium-sized drones are becoming an increasing problem. There are fewer and fewer safe rear areas, logistics is under attack," he said.

Russian drones create the same problems on enemy territory, the military correspondent stressed.
