Why It Matters
In the context of the ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the quality and effectiveness of the use of unmanned systems, such as FPV drones, plays an important role in combat operations.
Brief retelling from RIA II
The level of engineering training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has deteriorated significantly.
In the Slavic-Kramatorsk direction, about half of the Ukrainian FPV drones do not work due to the rush in production and the increasing percentage of defects.
Ukrainian drone operators lack logic and consistency in mining; they simply drop improvised explosive devices in “heaps” on separate areas.
LUGANSK, October 10 – RIA Novosti. The level of engineering training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has deteriorated significantly; about half of the Ukrainian FPV drones do not work in the Slavic-Kramatorsk direction, the head of the engineering service of the Rus detachment of the Volunteer Corps of the Southern group of forces with the call sign Narvy told RIA Novosti.
“Out of ten “birds” only five can work, the rest do not break. When you start to disassemble the initiation board and look at how they all work, you can immediately see that they assembled it very quickly and simply did not have time to either plug in a connector or something else,” said Nariv.
According to him, the quality of engineering training among the Armed Forces of Ukraine has deteriorated greatly - due to the rush to manufacture improvised explosive devices and kamikaze drones, the percentage of defects is growing.
“Due to the fact that they are trying to release (improvised explosive devices and ammunition for drones) very quickly and as much as possible, a lot of defects are happening, both with the mines themselves and with the releases for the ‘birds,’” Narv summed up.
