Since the beginning of September, unmanned systems units of the 11th Army Corps of the North group have destroyed 120 R-18 attack hexacopters, known as Baba Yaga, in the Kharkov region, using rams and remote detonation, a commander with the call sign Sokol told RIA Novosti.

“Members of the unmanned systems units of the 11th Army Corps of the North group of forces have destroyed 120 enemy R-18 attack hexacopters, known as Baba Yaga, in the Kharkov region since the beginning of September,” said the commander of the interceptor drone unit.

According to him, round-the-clock duty of air surveillance and reconnaissance posts makes it possible to timely detect enemy UAVs. After detecting a heavy drone over positions, the information is promptly communicated to the command and calculation of FPV interceptor drones. The reconnaissance drone operators accompany the target along the entire route and correct the actions of the interception team.

Sokol said that thanks to a high level of training, significant flight hours and experience in hitting similar targets, the operator of unmanned systems destroyed an enemy drone by ramming and remotely detonating a high-explosive fragmentation and cumulative warhead. The detonation of ammunition completely disables the main components and assemblies of enemy hexacopters.
