Ukraine is practicing strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles on the territory of Russia, so in the future we need to wait for more massive raids and prepare to repel them, military expert Vladislav Shurygin told Izvestia, commenting on the news about an attempt by four Ukrainian UAVs to attack objects on Russian territory on February 28.
“The drone is a difficult target for any air defense. The drone is hard to shoot down, as it flies at low altitude. It is important for UAVs to pass front-line air defense, and then they will go through the lowlands. For example, along the same riverbeds that are poorly visible by radar. Here we face the problem of creating radar lines against UAVs. They can be equipped on the basis of balloons with radars raised to a height of up to a kilometer. Such a defense will calmly cover the entire sky and detect low-flying UAVs without any problems, ”the expert explained.
Vladislav Shurygin believes that this is an extremely cheap and effective solution. The flight of an A-50 long-range radar reconnaissance aircraft costs much more money.
Vladislav Shurygin also noted that it is necessary to determine the types of drones that tried to attack the territory of Russia.
“It is quite obvious that they began to be produced somewhere and, most likely, in Europe. So, we must wait for new attacks, ”he is sure.
