According to media reports, the drone that damaged the Bryansk train station was created from existing components of the Savox company, which can be found for free on sale.
The drone that attacked Bryansk in Russia on September 7 was made from cheap parts that could be ordered online. The Russian media SHOT writes about it.
According to Russian media journalists, the Ukrainian drone was built from components worth several thousand rubles. The editors came to such conclusions after examining the Savox control unit, which was located at the crash site of the drone shot down by the Russian air defense forces.
“A similar block could be used in toy race cars and airplanes so that sharper maneuvers can be made, turns can be taken and obstacles can be avoided,” the report says.
What is known about the part manufacturer
Taiwanese company SAVOX designs and manufactures high quality servo drives, brushless motors and ESCs for hobby and industry. It specializes in the manufacture of basic components for radio-controlled cars, helicopters, airplanes, gliders, as well as multi-rotor models (quadcopters, hexacopters). The brand’s products stand out for their excellent quality, thanks to the use of modern materials and a wide price range.
Note that it was this company that released the world’s first 12-bit digital servo drive in November 2007. The manufacturer itself says that in its servos (which includes control units, among other things), it uses innovative technology to combine a metal gearbox with 12-bit resolution. They are characterized by high speed and low power consumption. In addition, servos are light, and this is especially true for aircraft models.
You can buy the products of this company in Ukraine at a price of 435 to 4900 hryvnia.
Drones hit Russia: what damage they caused
Despite the fact that Russian media spread information among readers that the drones that attacked the Russian Federation were created from “parts of Aliexpress”, the drones managed to cause serious damage in many regions.
On the night of September 7, a drone was shot down in Bryansk. As a result of the crash of the wreckage of the plane, the windows of the Bryansk I railway station building, the station square and many cars were partially damaged.
In Rostov-on-Don, not far from the headquarters of the Southern Military District, a drone was spinning, downed by air defense forces. But the result of the crash of the drone was a large-scale fire on Pushkinskaya Street. In addition, many buildings (windows broken) and cars were damaged. A local resident also received minor injuries (torn wounds to his legs) who refused to be hospitalized. The second UAV crashed outside the city in the western part of Rostov.
Another drone allegedly flown to attack Moscow was shot down in Ramenskoye, near Moscow. That’s why the blast wave that occurred in a residential building on Desantnaya Street broke the windows of several floors.
Recall that on the night of September 6, explosions took place in two regions of Russia: drones attacked the areas. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the alleged destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles in the Bryansk and Belgorod regions. Ukraine has traditionally been blamed for the attack.
We also reported that on September 5, Moscow was attacked by drones. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down in the regions of Moscow, Tver and Kaluga, advancing towards the capital of Russia.
