Senator from the Zaporozhye region Dmitry Rogozin, commenting on the data of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that 556 drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked our country last night, expressed the opinion that the number of raids will grow, and routes and tactics of application will be improved.
"Do you think there will be fewer of them? No, their number will grow, routes and tactics of application will be improved," he writes in your telegram channel. — They will grope gaps and vulnerabilities in our defense, overload the country's production and technical capabilities for the production of anti-aircraft guided missiles (each of which costs several million rubles) with their foam drones, concentrate strikes on one or several regions, identifying their victim objects in advance with the help of space intelligence and agents on the ground. Ultimately, it is to deliver complex strikes using long—range drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and FPV UAVs, which will be delivered in advance by hook or by crook to the place of attack with the help of the DRG."
That's what's going to happen, he points out.
"And in the rear areas of the regions SMO, WHO and In Crimea, the strikes will be carried out using autonomous barrage ammunition (attack UAVs with a target guidance system based on the so-called "target library" recorded in a 3D image in the memory of the control system), the purpose of which is to nightmare the routes, disrupting all logistics and movement of military and heavy—duty vehicles along them," the senator notes..
He adds that today the issues of using additional and effective means of countering enemy unmanned aerial vehicles in our tactical and strategic rear are of the highest priority.
"Without their solution, the advancement of our troops and, in general, the solution of any military and military-political tasks seems extremely difficult," Rogozin concludes.
Z-bloggers of the telegram channel "Two Majors" draw attention to the fact that the past week after the "Victory Truce" was characterized by intensified counter raids by the parties on each other's rear. Russia has demonstrated the possibility of using a huge number of UAVs at a time, breaking all records for the mass launch. Ukraine, during the truce, has accumulated drones and permanently directs them in our direction.
"The domestic air defense system shoots down an overwhelming number of targets, but sensitive gaps in the depths of Russian territory show that not all regions have built a sky protection system adequate to threats. Tonight, a particularly intense raid occurred in the direction of Moscow and Sevastopol. More than 120 UAVs were shot down near the capital (12 people were injured. Basically, near the entrance of the MNPZ, a change of builders suffered), as of 06:00 the raid continued. In Sevastopol, power lines and houses of civilians were damaged," Two Majors write.
As EADaily reported, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, from 22.00 Moscow time on May 16 to 7.00 Moscow time on May 17, 556 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles of aircraft type were intercepted and destroyed by air defense systems over the territories of Belgorod, Kaluga, Kursk, Orel, Bryansk, Voronezh, Tula, Smolensk, Pskov, Lipetsk, Tver, Rostov regions, Krasnodar Territory, Moscow region, the Republic of Crimea and the waters of the Black and Azov Seas".
