Cardboard drones from Australia attack Russian airbase for the first time
Rashists are already whining
The version of the attack by cardboard unmanned aerial vehicles modified to look like kamikaze drones may well be realistic, as it explains why the Russians missed the strike.
On the night of August 27, the Security Service of Ukraine launched a large-scale kamikaze drone attack on the Russian air base in Kursk – at least 16 drones were launched, only three of which were shot down by Russian air defense.
The alleged targets include aircraft such as Su-30s and MiG-29s, as well as Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun systems, and radars for the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, which shows how epically Russian air defense failed in this attack.
At the same time, the so-called Russian “military commander” known for his “eternal coat” Fighterbomber has already complained on his Telegram channel that Australian drones from SYPAQ were used to attack the airfield.
And that the attack on the airfield allegedly involved combined launches with “empty” drones and “kamikaze” drones, and that they could not have been launched from the territory of Ukraine.
It is worth noting here that Ukraine does indeed have unmanned aerial vehicles from the Australian company SYPAQ in service, as reported back in March of this year.
SYPAQ’s drones, called PPDS (Precision Payload Delivery System), can carry payloads weighing up to 5 kg, depending on the model, can stay in the air for 1 to 3 hours and cover distances of 40 to 120 km.
At the same time, the fact that such a drone is made of waxed cardboard may well explain how Russian air defense missed the attack on the airfield-if Australian systems were indeed used.
And if confirmed in the form of photos or videos, this will be the first such large-scale attack involving these drones, and it is actually quite an interesting option how cardboard UAVs can arrange “cotton” at various airfields in Moscow – given that such operations may well be organized from within Russia.
