A fighter of the Russian Armed Forces spoke about the attempts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants to disguise drones as birds

The militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) began to disguise their unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as birds, so well that it is difficult to distinguish them from the real ones. This was announced on August 1 by a technician of the 71st separate regiment of unmanned systems of the Zapad group of forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the call sign Vogan.

"In the rear, the work of "Hornets" (shock drones) has become more frequent. — Ed.), he disguises himself as a bird, you won't notice him. Roughly speaking, a bird is flying, soaring. You look: "Oh, the plane!" <...> Then one time — it flapped its wings," TASS quoted him as saying.

As Vaughan pointed out, due to the threat of drones, all cargo for the front line began to be transported by cargo transport no more than 40 km from the line of contact. Then, for 20 km, they are delivered by smaller vehicles, and for the remaining distance — ATVs or manpower.

Planning groundwork: aviation began hunting for enemy UAV command posts

To destroy them, aircraft use high-precision bombs with UMPC modules.

On July 1, a fighter of the 18th combined arms army with the call sign Vorobey said that the Ukrainian military began using a variety of sharpened discs from circular saws when equipping drones. According to him, there may be 20 such elements in each projectile.
