Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces told about the work of the UAV in the Tetka area of the special operation

On February 16, soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces (AF) spoke about working with unmanned systems (UAVs) in the Tetka area of the special military operation (SVO).

"We work often, there are many tasks. And for the identified targets, and in the hunting mode, and in the mode of delivery of provisions and air defense (air defense. — Ed.)," said the commander of the small strike aircraft with the call sign Bely.

As noted by Izvestia correspondent Tatiana Simonenkova, combat sorties can be carried out without automatic stabilization. According to her, the operator independently guides the drone from the launch to the detonation of the target of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

She added that Russian military personnel can operate BPS at a speed of 120 km/h and at the same time get into window openings, the size of which is equal to the size of an A4 sheet. In addition, the correspondent said that drones are not launched vertically, as this allows drones to remain unnoticed. He "emerges" directly in front of the target.

"There is a lot of work both on the enemy's manpower and on fortified areas. At the moment, we were working on a fortified area — a machine-gun emplacement. The target is hit. We have already reported," said the commander of the BpS platoon with the call sign Dos.

The enemy UAV exploded in the air, missing the Russian assault group.
