（粵語）烏克蘭快速部署FPV攔截俄羅斯無人機，開闢全新作戰領域｜【 #時事軍事】

Since the first drone air war less than two years ago the battle between drones has developed into a new battlefield on the battlefield of Ukraine Ukraine's first man-made visual drone, FPV has begun to attack Russian reconnaissance drones The Ukrainian government is pushing a so-called Brave One project which aims to accelerate the implementation of new technological achievements and turn good ideas into real combat capabilities and make them a profound impact One of them is the battle between drones During the First World War the first man-made air war in human history was when pilots shot each other with handguns Soon after, everyone fixed the machine gun on the aircraft's head forming the most primitive form of air combat Today the first battle between drones seems to be even more intense than the first man-made air war But the evolution of man-made air warfare is much faster than that of manned aircraft Today, in Ukraine the battle between drones may soon turn into a new battle mode On Oct. 13, 2022 Ukrainian broadcaster and TV host Zeich Puli Tulai shared a video showing a Ukrainian drone hitting a Russian drone and causing the latter to be killed This is the first man-made air war Russia and Ukraine have also widely used reconnaissance drones to conduct intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance to induce artillery fire and even directly attack the enemy's equipment and terrain This makes the interference or attack of enemy drones extremely important and also very tricky The reason is that these drones are usually much lower cost than anti-aircraft missiles and have a large number Recently, small-scale drones attacked enemy reconnaissance drones and even cases of someone driving a plane began to increase rapidly and may even form a new battle mode Small-scale drone costs Using them to replace anti-aircraft missiles that cost tens of thousands or even millions is clearly a cost-cutting deal In April this year Ukraine called for the development of a drone interceptor Their requirements are very simple The system can receive radar and other external sensors to provide relevant target locations speed and direction information and can use drones to detect track and automatically attack targets Their target including drones flying at an altitude of 5,000 feet and at a speed of 60 to 100 miles per hour especially the reconnaissance drones of the Russian Orlan-10, Zela and SuperCam Although the current anti-aircraft system can easily hit these reconnaissance drones the cost of the Orlan-10 is only about $100,000 and the cost of each land-based air-to-air missile launch is about $500,000 It is clear that Ukraine does not want to consume and wants to use their air-to-air missiles such as large fixed-wing drones and even drones that can be piloted to deal with even more urgent threats This is why they launched the Courage-1 program Their signature slogan is to find a solution to destroy the enemy's drones without wasting limited air defense resources After the first battle between drones similar drone battles began to increase rapidly Some seem to be coincidental encounters while others may be planned actions under the help of overall battlefield command Since May this year a series of videos circulated on social media reflect the Ukrainian border troops using FPV to intercept Russian reconnaissance drones showing the Ukrainian FPV tracking, pursuit and the process of destroying Russian reconnaissance drones including Zela and Orlan-10 and other mid-range reconnaissance drones Orlan-10 is a standard artillery reconnaissance drone used to locate targets or launch direct attacks on targets Zela is a reconnaissance drone that is used in combination with the Lyubov-1 Without these reconnaissance drones Russian artillery and Lyubov-1 operators would not be able to aim and hit the target The defeat of reconnaissance drones is a serious blow to the Russian troops that strongly rely on artillery firepower The videos from FPV can only be seen from the operator's perspective It is impossible to judge what kind of weapons these drones carry But judging from the attack scene at the last moment it should be used to hit, intercept or destroy the opponent's drones More videos have shown that some actions are not isolated events It may reflect a trend in the development of the Ukrainian battlefield This may shock and frighten the Russians Russian troops are also starting to use FPV to fight against the Ukrainian Babar-Agayeh bomber The latter is larger and has lower flight speed and altitude It is not so easy to intercept reconnaissance drones These drones fly higher and faster and require more intelligence support, coordination and organizational planning in order to successfully intercept The use of small low-cost FPVs to replace part of the air defense system and directly affect the opponent's offensive ability Ukraine is likely to expand this ability quickly Although it is not clear how much of a technical obstacle it is to expand this ability and it is not entirely clear which tactics will be affected by the expansion of these abilities But it can be confirmed that using FPVs worth thousands of dollars to exchange for more expensive reconnaissance drones can play a contributing role in the battlefield Fixed-wing reconnaissance drones are scarce for both sides and cannot be quickly replaced or replenished These reconnaissance drones are now facing the threat of low-cost FPVs This may force them to move to a safer area on the front line to carry out activities But this will also significantly reduce their potential role on the battlefield Recent videos also show Ukraine's FPVs intercepted Russian Lvov UAVs on their way to the target This type of self-propelled cruise UAV is faster and more time-sensitive than most reconnaissance UAVs If a UAV can intercept this type of offensive UAV it shows that the Ukrainian UAV force already has the necessary external sensors command and control, and the ability to exchange information This shows that the Ukrainian force has at least initially formed a battlefield information system that has coordination and combat capability and can play a role in combat Specialized interceptor drones are not new such as the U.S. Fulton Technology Co., Ltd.'s UAV the U.S. Andreev Company's Anvil anti-UAV system and the Roadrunner small-scale UAV as well as the Leysen Company's Cargo UAV are all specialized anti-UAV systems But these drones are also more expensive high-end products which limits their number They are often more suitable for attacks such as the Iranian Shakhtar UAV Russia usually uses Shakhtar UAVs to bomb the city of Ukraine Low-cost FPVs as anti-UAV weapons may change the rules of the Ukrainian battlefield And this type of anti-UAV weapon may not only target reconnaissance UAVs The Ukrainian FPV force tried to attack a Russian armed helicopter but failed At least two attempts failed in the video It is possible that one day the FPV, which is faster and equipped with automatic guidance and route planning capabilities can successfully hit an armed helicopter This risk will also force Russian pilots not to dare to approach the front line This may have a greater impact than hitting a few helicopters If Ukraine can scale up this type of warfare that uses drones it may expand the incidents in these videos to 100 to 200 times a day So the Russian troops may inadvertently turn from attack to defense and may not have a chance to recover from failure That's all for today Thank you for watching See you next time
