[ Album ] (Pics at site) ⚡️Pics of Engels airbase CLAIMED to have been taken after the drone attack

It's from a popular TG channel which posts interesting info but also a lot of sensationalist stuff as well, so take it with a pinch of salt.

The author claims his source at the airbase says the drone crashed in the area marked with a red spot and then slid into some containers further away where it exploded.

Assuming these pics are legit, as far as I can see there doesn't seem to be any sign of a crash on the indicated spot.

His proof is the picture of a firefighting trailer next to one of the bombers (marked with red sq)

I'm not subscribed to the TG channel as it's a private one. But the photos were posted on a forum I read fairly regularly

UAVs that the enemy strikes at our air bases, fly at extremely low altitude and in these conditions the horizon line is only 20 - 26 km, and taking into account the fact of trees, buildings and other obstacles, often even less in practice. You can't fool physics.

The radio signal from the air defense radars, it spreads in a straight line and here are such shock UAVs that fly low, with maximum terrain hugging flight, for air defense this is a rather difficult target not so much for destruction, but for detection and tracking.

To solve this problem, it was proposed by Soviet designers to put the means of detecting and tracking air defense targets as high as possible. Ideally in low orbits in outer space. But then they didn't have time to implement it.

There is another option, as in the current situation, to protect airfields and other important objects from such threats, is to place air defense locators on tethered balloons, lifting them 100 - 200 meters above ground level.

This is enough to detect all low-flying targets at a distance of 50 km. By the way, I saw such a solution during one of the military-technical forums of the Army. Why this solution is not being used yet, I do not know. But in Syria, something similar has been impemented and is said to be successfull...

It was too foggy yesterday to take satellite pictures. So hard to say if these are actually from today.

In any case, the story circulating here on FR about 5 destroyed planes and 2 damaged ones was never credible.

Russia disclosed the info on the December 5th drone attack that two planes had suffered minor damage. So there is no way they would have lied about 7 planes here.

It is war. Russia should expect this to happen.

BUT...my fear is someone is going to slip a nuclear warhead in to The Ukrainians and the SOBs will use it.

Unlikely. Unless their Nazis get a hold of it the Ukranians are vastly aware they require the good graces of assisting nations. They will not be the first to use a nuke.

Nope. The most likely scenario is the Russian attempt to use one of their missiles and nuke themselves.

Day 308 of my 3 day war. I played my gas card so early Europe stocked up for winter and I mobilized so late that my conscripts will freeze in it.

I remain a master strategist.

The Russians also discuss the attack(s) using civil aviation approach corridors, making air defense even more difficult and the attacks perilous to civil aviation

Our source in the OP said that the successful operation on the cruiser Moscow became possible thanks to the joint work of the Armed Forces of Ukraine / Navy and special units of Great Britain / Australia . For the operation, British Sea Skua anti-ship missiles were used, which were launched from two Bayraktar TB2s and the Neptune ground complex, which was transformed to launch the Harpoon RGM-84N

The West continues to disguise its weapons as nano-designed by Ukraine, so as not to raise the stakes in the confrontation with Russia. First, the cruiser Moskva was sunk , and they decided to salute this honor to the Poseidon missiles, which had not been used for several months since the beginning of the war, but here again such luck. Then the liberation of Snake Island , where everyone was told about the accuracy of Ukrainian artillery, and later accurate strikes on command posts and warehouses. Next , attacks on airfields in Crimea began, and now a new stage in the miracle of Ukrainian technology, stealth drones capable of flying thousands of kilometers unnoticed by radars and air defense. Moreover, it is clear to everyone that only modern drones using satellite navigation could fly with such accuracy ., but everyone is talking about old swifts ...

Ukraine attacked Russian airfields with modified Tu-141 Swift drones - Politico

The publication reports this with reference to two Ukrainian sources familiar with the details of operations at bases in Engels and the Ryazan region.

It is noted that the technologies with which the Soviet drones were modified are Ukrainian-made, and not supplied by the United States or other countries.

These kinds of improvements demonstrate the ability of the Ukrainian defense industry to innovate, while the Russian Federation is forced to buy cheap Iranian drones to wage war.

As one of the interlocutors told the publication, the surprise effect was the key factor, because the Russian Federation did not expect such actions from Ukraine.

Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President wants to use the experience of Russia on Shaheeds, which became Geranium. We proposed to the Pentagon a formula with the conversion of NATO weapons into Ukrainian ones, primarily for drones and new types of weapons.

We should expect the appearance of new Western drones in the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the delirium of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. We wrote that the Office of the President has adopted tactics with Shaheeds and is remaking Western counterparts for its drones. Now Ukraine plans to develop air-to-air drones that can shoot down Iranian martyrs, Mikhail Fedorov, head of the Ministry of Digital Development, said in an interview with The Associated Press.

“I can already say that in February-March the situation with drones will change dramatically. This will be the next step in the development of technology,” Fedorov said.
