UAV units have been created in the RCBZ troops

UAV units have been created in the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces, sources in the military department told Izvestia.

Stable cover: ground-based drones began to be used to protect artillery

Unmanned platforms with electronic warfare systems are on duty in firing positions, suppressing enemy UAVs and saving the lives of gun crews.

The devices conduct RCB reconnaissance, observe the terrain, and perform aerosol camouflage of objects. They are also engaged in special equipment processing and sanitation of personnel.

The introduction of drones is currently taking place as intensively as possible, and the RCBZ troops could not but be affected by this process, military expert Yuri Lyamin told Izvestia.

"Drones will be especially useful in jamming and reconnaissance of chemical contamination of the area. Moreover, they allow you to take measurements remotely without endangering people. It is also important that drones are much cheaper than traditional RCBZ machines. This will allow us to quickly increase their number in the army. I think that in the very near future, most of the tasks inherent in the RCBZ troops will be solved by robotic systems," he said.

The installation of smoke and other aerosol-type curtains is very important now, Yuri Lyamin emphasized.

"UAVs are well suited for this task. In the future, ground-based robotic platforms should also appear. Moreover, drones can cover troops not only from visual detection using smoke. There are special aerosol formulations that prevent the detection of people and equipment using thermal imagers," he said.
