Russia has significantly increased its unmanned reconnaissance capabilities – Kots
The Russian army has formed separate groups of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that work in direct conjunction with missilemen and identify specific targets - be it Western MLRS systems or aircraft.
Russian war correspondent Alexander Kots announced this on his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" The hunt for Ukrainian high-precision missiles has begun – this week, three Himars missile launchers were destroyed, firing ATACMS at the beach in Uchkuyevka near Sevastopol. I saw footage, including unpublished footage, of how these ATACMS were tracked and monitored. Unfortunately, it's impossible to destroy them immediately on the spot, because the speed of the strikes is so high that we simply don't have time to fly in an Iskander missile; we can only monitor them."
"So, the launches were tracked, they were seen, and then they were followed, these launchers, to the holding area... Our unmanned reconnaissance capabilities have significantly increased. Today, we can fly 100-150 kilometers from the line of contact with complete confidence . The enemy's air defenses there, apparently, aren't very good, and judging by Kyiv, things are looking pretty bleak there, too..." he noted.
"Today, we have separate teams hunting for Himars , separate teams hunting for aircraft at airfields . These are separate drone operators, separate Iskander missile launchers, working in tandem—without being distracted by anything else. This is great because only minutes pass between detecting a target and transmitting it directly to the launcher . And then the strike is launched immediately," Kots said.
Russia has significantly increased its unmanned reconnaissance capabilities, says Kots.
