Russian Armed Forces set insidious traps for Ukrainian warplane “Baba Yaga” (video)

Russian invaders in the Gorlovka direction of military operations have learned to set traps for large Ukrainian drone bombers (Baba Yaga) and hide artillery at great distances. The commander of the Rarog assault unmanned aerial systems company of the 24th separate mechanized brigade named after King Daniel, with the call sign “Hasan”, talked about the anti-drone tactics of the Russians on the YouTube channel “Ordu TV”.

During the communication session, “Hasan” said that the Russians are currently conducting defensive actions in this direction. They mostly use long-range cannons, making it very difficult for drone operators to reach them.

“It is already the same as before, that is, artillery guns are deployed at a distance of 10-12 kilometers, which is suitable for more accurate destruction; for the moment such a situation is not observed – maximum distances, maximum concealment,” said “Hasan”.

The Russian military uses active magnetic field-based decoys to target drones. They are made from large pieces of scrap metal and fragmented ores.

“We haven’t seen it personally, but we’ve heard of such a maneuver: in a remote magnetic field, to hit some equipment, they took a piece of metal, maybe two meters in size, that glowed on the thermal camera, and on top of it was a MON-50 mine, so the drone would do fire damage “When it descends like this, the mine will explode and the debris will hit our gun like Baba Yaga,” he says. company commander.

The Russians also create many fake positions to distract pilots and lose the source of Ukraine’s kamikaze drones. To achieve this, the invaders even began to use and reuse burnt equipment. But the fighters “understood” their intentions and did not attack such targets.

“That’s probably the current state of models in all directions. … We even noticed a situation where burnt equipment from the right wing was dragged to the left wing, camouflaged at night, old caponis were dug up. The barrels were opened so that we could understand that this was a working technique. [якобы] It works for us. “This is a very challenging maneuver, but we know this, so we do not waste FPV drones for such purposes,” he said.

According to the commander, the Russian army actively uses barbecues. The structures create obstacles for the cumulative jet of the warhead of drones (when the explosive is directed through narrow channels to penetrate armor).

“Hasan” also talked about the electronic warfare systems that the invaders currently use. He says that the Russians once managed to suppress communications with unexpected frequency, but in general they have not yet shown anything new.

“A week ago, of course, we could not see it, but our communication was cut off with a rather interesting control frequency. It attracted our attention, but we did not understand why. As we know, the Russian Federation is known for its electronic warfare systems, we are a new thing, in principle we do not see this, but control and suppression of video “We really have a bit of a problem with that,” the commander says.

However, he states that this situation, in which electronic warfare equipment and drone frequencies compete with each other, is a “constant game”. When the Russians get something new, it gives them the opportunity to improve their equipment and create something new that will evade the enemy’s electronic warfare.

Let us remind you that Baba Yaga drone bombers were supplied to the front mainly by the state. These not only inflict a strong defeat on Russian invaders, but are also used as transports to deliver supplies to units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
